Verizon Wireless has joined the ranks of carriers offering the HTC Touch Pro, a business-oriented smartphone with a wide range of high-end features.
This Windows Mobile device has a VGA touchscreen and a sliding keyboard. It also has EV-DO, Wi-Fi, and GPS.
It sells for $350 with a two-year contract and $70 mail-in rebate, which means Verizon is charging a bit more for its version of the Touch Pro than its U.S. rivals. Both AT&T's version -- called the Fuze -- and Sprint's sell for $300 with contract and rebate.
This model is available now on Verizon's website, and is expected to be in Verizon stores on Dec. 1.
