Sprint lowering Touch Pro2 price to $199 on October 1st

Sprint has recently announced that they will be lowering the price of the HTC Touch Pro2 from $349 to a much more palatable $199.99 starting on October 1st.

This was most likely due to the fact that Verizon has had the Touch Pro2 at $199.99 for some time now. That and who is going to buy a Windows Mobile device for such a high price unless it’s the HTC Leo?

HTC HD2 Spotted in O2 UK Catalog

The screenshot here comes to prove that HTC’s latest Windows Mobile 6.5 phone is headed to O2 as previously discussed. The phone has already appeared in O2’s UK catalog which is all the confirmation we need! The HD2 or the LEO is supposed to become available anywhere from October 12 to October 26. If you’re going to go look for the catalog, you might be surprised to see it’s not available yet in O2 stores. It’s almost October so you can check back in a few days and actually see the HTC HD2 on printed paper for yourself. And its funny how the phone’s OS is clearly displayed in this leaked shot. Should we assume there’s no TouchFLO 3D like we heard on top of Redmond’s mobile OS?

HTC Leo all but confirmed for O2 UK release

Rumors surfaced yesterday that we would possibly be seeing the HTC Leo appear on O2 UK as the HTC HD2. Well, it seems part of those rumors are to be believed as Engadget has recently gotten their hands on the above photograph that shows that the handset will in fact be dropping on the carrier.

What’s even more interesting is that if you sign up for the correct 18-month contract you will be given the HTC Leo for free. Now all we need to do is hear of a North American carrier that will pick up the device as it is every Windows Mobile fanboy’s dream (if such a person exists).
