HTC Touch Pro release date and price
July 17, 2008 by Meraj Chhaya
Filed under HTC
We have come to know the pricing of the Touch Pro in UK, atleast the planned price at devicewire. Unfortunately the pricing is removed from the website, but the expected availability date remains there, which is the 1st of September.
And for the price, it was set at 468.07 British Pounds, which translates into about US$930, which frankly isn't very good as it's calculated excluding VAT, even though it's a high-end smartphone.
In terms of specifications, the HTC Touch Pro is regarded as a HTC Touch Diamond with a QWERTY hardware keyboard and a flash for the camera. The Touch Diamond has a 3.2 megapixel camera, Opera 9.5 web browser, navi-wheel, touchscreen, TouchFLO 3D User Interface, 256MB of RAM (in the latest ROM), VGA resolution (640x480 pixels), HSDPA at 7.2mbps, WiFi, built-in A-GPS, and Bluetooth.

It’s the price charged these series of phones. Very common with high-end Windows Mobile devices.

the price is too high even though it’s a high end phone with all the gizmos.
Lower the the price HTC or people wont buy it. Looks good and i hope it works good too.

Meraj Chhaya on Wed, 23rd Jul 2008 11:59 pm
Zain, what about monthly costs?
M. Hussein, how much do you have to deposit?
M.Hussein on Thu, 24th Jul 2008 12:41 am
Wathever I deposit is doubled.
5 euros +5 euros=10 euros
50 euros + 50 euros=100 euros
Until I reach the value of the mobile phone…

Thanks DerEineTyp, always nice to know prices in other countries

I doubt they’ll have “crediting” type of deals in the US. They’ll charge us hard one way or another.
Meraj Chhaya on Wed, 6th Aug 2008 1:21 pm
So you don’t think it will be offered on contract?
nana on Thu, 7th Aug 2008 2:21 pm

Meraj Chhaya on Thu, 7th Aug 2008 3:18 pm
You can’t carry a laptop around with you in the pocket…

I bought a Touch Pro from the UK. Trying to figure out all the functions…it’s like a micro computer!

Send it to us, we’ll review it in such a way you’ll never need a manual!
zangetsu on Wed, 27th Aug 2008 10:21 pm
now judging by the price of the diamond $500. I would say they wont translate the price and keep it about $500.
Meraj Chhaya on Wed, 27th Aug 2008 10:25 pm
500US$ is too low for such a phone
M.Hussein on Thu, 28th Aug 2008 3:25 am
Too low Meraj? I can sell it for you for 1000euros, or does it remains low for you
hehehe
Meraj Chhaya on Thu, 28th Aug 2008 3:37 am
1000US$ is the probable price
Morfe@s on Thu, 28th Aug 2008 12:34 pm
Do you know when it ‘ll arrive in Greece?Here the price will be around 600E..But I don’t know when…..
M.Hussein on Thu, 28th Aug 2008 12:46 pm
-.-
M.Husseins last blog post..Retorno Passivo VS Retorno Activo
Meraj Chhaya on Thu, 28th Aug 2008 3:25 pm
HTC Touch Pro release date in Greece should be October the latest, the manufacturer doesn’t take long to release their phones after launch
linux007 on Fri, 29th Aug 2008 7:11 pm
On contract in the US is will be about $199 to $249. No less than that. It is replacing the Sprint mogul and Tilts. So it should be around those price points since the competition is at that same price point.
Meraj Chhaya on Fri, 29th Aug 2008 10:57 pm
Is it considered expensive when compared to other price plans in the US?

I have one D810 and Dopod 900 before. I tried the HTC Diamond that my colleague has and found it was not responsing fast enough and could be slower than my D810. WIth the same CPU but more features and it give more burden to the CPU to run then how can it perform better without adding more power to its processor. THe HTC Diamond Pro is similar to HTC Diamond with a keyboard then I would assume both HTC Diamond Pro and HTC Diamond is same. The look of the PHone is great but paying $1000 for the phone and that is crazy and absolutely not worth it.
meraj on Wed, 17th Sep 2008 10:47 am
I agree with you, the price is insane, but the responsiveness is not bad at all
Muhammad on Wed, 17th Sep 2008 11:46 am
So, the date we provided was right indeed!
