A First Glimpse of the HTC Touch Pro2 for T-Mobile

Several sources have indicated that the HTC Touch Pro2 is on the way to T-Mobile, and now an image of this version has appeared on the Web.

The very first report on this model back in January was a leaked roadmap of future HTC products for 2009. This indicated that a model code-named Tungsten was headed for T-Mobile -- European and USA.

In February, HTC officially unveiled this device as the Touch Pro2, but has not yet officially announced any of the carriers that will release it. The company did say this phone will be available around the world starting in early summer.

According to the leaked roadmap, this won't be a T-Mobile exclusive by a long shot. Other versions are on the way to AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon.
