HTC TouchPRO Available from Verizon Wireless
Verizon likes to charge more and give less
Let me start by saying that I like Verizon's wireless service. I have had it for years and have never really had any problems.
But they really like to stick to us when it comes to the phones. I was really looking forward to this phone because of the amount of RAM that it had. Then Verizon has to go and cut the amount of RAM to less than 1/2 of what it should be. There are also other rumors of other features that Verizon has 'crippled' (although I wont bring them up until I can confirm them). Then they also go ahead and charge $50 more for a worse phone. Why cant they just leave the phone as it is.

Sprint is the best business and 3g service provider!
Period!
The fact that verizon is charging more for a device they didn't even have first. Actually got last even alltel (soon to be owned by verizon) beat them to this masterpiece. Pro does it all!
Verizon is gonna have a hard time selling this phone at such a high price. I guess I shouldn't mention the fact that Sprints website is currently sold out of Touch Pro's.

Sprint is bleeding customer. Every quarter that passes 100,000s of customers continue, and continue to defect. Just wait for Q4 figures to be released.

PURE BS!
ghost what r u smoking, 2000 units per hour can a lie get any bigger than this. Please show proof to support your facts or should i say jokes. They could'nt even process orders cause the systems were broken.

Just admit it Verizon overall doesn't come close to Sprint! Sprint has a Faster network, Better plans, and way better phones to choose from!

This is what you do
ok Verizon just informed everyone they have the Touch Pro. Go to ALLTEL get a better rate plan with the Touch Pro (you will send less on the phone). When Verizon comes around you would have both worlds. Problem solved 😛
haha!
true, but Alltel doesnt work in major markets where Verizon does, which mean you would have to get a diffrent area code if not in an Alltel market.. like St. Louis, Dallas, ect.

$420 after contract?
And no G-Sensor,
And it does not seem to have the TouchFLO3D Interface (says it has navigation)
Better off with ATT.

they forgot to add it has the latest version of vzw crippleware
Dont forget the fact that Att and Sprint version had 256mb and Verizon version has 192MB of RAM
yea it does have Touch Flo 3D...
and WiFi

This is a total rip off!
Even with the better signal quality, lack of everthing else the Pro has to offer and still charging more then Sprint for the Touch Pro is a joke 🤣 Im still laughing at this right now. Sprint has a much better deal. 😎

Ignoring the facts?
I usually try to stay away from opinions on other carriers but what is the deal with charging 50 dollars more for the same phone that Sprint and ATT have? What does their version offer that is different? While all the Verizon fans and Reps feel compelled to embrace a forum to degrade a certain carrier, we as a company were going to base our decision on price. The company you bashed is now getting our business of 257 new TouchPros'. I would suggest that rather than supporting higher prices for the same product, you may want to re-evaluate what sucks and what doesn't.
I'd rather pay more for a device but have a reliable service than save a few bucks and suffer ****ty service.

Check the 3g coverage maps on att and Sprint when picking which one to go with, it really depends on the market but there is a reason that most business customers have Sprint. I sell both of them and here in Austin Tx Sprint has a really solid data an...

I see your point... BUT
Hasn't Verizon been more expensive on everything for forever? This shouldn't be something new. Verizon's service is pretty good, but its always been at a high price.

Microsoft needs to get on board
And lower their price. If they want people to buy their OS phones, than they need to lower the price of the initial selling price to $199. $299 won't get the phones out to everyone and will lose to Apple and the iPhone.
it's not MS -- it's verizon. Sprint has the touch pro for 299 after rebates, or in my market, we do it for 299.99 plus tax, no rebates as long as you get it on a data plan.

Dont blame microsoft or even htc for verzions mistakes. The price of this phone is very clear and verizon has raised it to make a huge profit. Sprint even changed the whole apperance of the phone and they still charge less and have a better version th...

Really?
Um.. Microsoft actually charges less, very less, to put the OS on phones. Like $15 bucks.

If this phone doesn't cut it, I'm off to AT&T.
Questions
1. Does the 192mb of ram make it even more unlikely to upgrade to winmo 6.5?
2. Is the GPS really locked down to vz navigator? How does this compare to htc fuse?
I have a ne2 100 credit but even that might not be enough to overcome disappointment of waiting all this time for a new handset only to find a buggy storm or what appears to be a crippled / gutted HTC touch pro waiting for me. 😢

WiFi +
YES, this does have WiFi for those who thought it wouldnt.
and it has Verizons new App Zone for its open network.
and it does have Touch Flo 3D!

It's good they have an App Zone.
But if they use BREW, and expensive testing before release, then forget it.
