An XDA-developers.com post suggests that we could see a successor to the HTC Touch Pro2 sometime this summer. The unsubstantiated rumour suggests that the HTC Touch Pro2 could go on sale in Europe sometime in Q3.
Just had a dinner with a friend of mine who is the main distributor for HTC in Europe, and he informed that they will receive the first shipment of Touch Pro3’s this summer and they will be on sale in Europe third quarter of this year. This is my main contact for HTC devices and he arranges a Touch Pro2 for me 4 months before it was officially released…He told me that the device will be much smaller and thinner, and soon he will provide me with the evidence including the full specifications Do you guys think this would be something you would purchase or would you rather wait for the Windows Phone 7?
The HTC Touch Pro3 will come with Windows Mobile 6.5 rather than the upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series. I wonder just how many will jump on a Windows Mobile 6.5 device just months before Windows Phone 7 Series devices start to arrive.
The closest device on the leaked first half 2010 HTC roadmap is the HTC Tera. While the HTC Touch Pro3 could be smaller smaller and thinner than its predecessor, would HTC really give its next Touch Pro device only a WQVGA display? I’m thinking (and hoping) not.
