Hi,
I am wondering if the Htc touch pro 2 that is available through telus in Canada, Ontario can be unlocked as they say it is a world edition. I am interested in upgrading to this handset but before renewing a contract for 3 years just because of this handset I would like to get to know more about this.
The following is the link to Telus website with more details about the Htc touch pro 2 offered by them: http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/htc_touchpro2_t7379/index.shtml
This is my first post & thread here so, I hope my question is in the right section and fine in all aspect.
Thanks

Several readers are wondering when the new HTC Touch Pro 2 will be released by carriers, and which carriers will offer it.
HTC is currently planning to ship the HTC Touch Pro 2 to European customers in late May or early June, featuring Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and the latest version of TouchFLO 3D. FCC recently revealed that HTC is also planning to offer an unlocked version of the HTC Touch Pro 2 supporting AT&T's 3G network this summer.
I have also included the link. http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/10233.html
that's great news!!! I'm really thinking of buying an unlocked one, but only as long as it supports AT&T's 3G network. the only thing holding me back is that if I do buy an unlocked one I won't have any insurance or warranty on it. wait, does anyone know if any form of insurance or warranty is offered if you buy an unlocked version of a phone?? (sorry I've never bought an unlocked phone before) cos it's getting pretty hard to wait for fall to come so I can buy the subsidized TP2. and plus, by then AT&T will most likely have messed around with the hardware and appearance of the phone.

Im in the same boat. I prefer an unlocked (untampered with) phone, but worried about the lack of Warranty
I have bought a Tytn, Tytn II and a Touch Pro direct from HTC, certainly in the UK their warranty is good, its longer than a year certainly (I think 2 but dont quote me). I will be getting the Touch Pro II direct from HTC again, Im bored of being held to ransom by the operators.
i know that if we buy an unbranded TP2, it will more than likely come with a 1 year manufacturers warranty. that sets me at some sense of ease. but does anyone know if an unlocked TP2 will support U.S. AT&T's 3G bands? i've been hearing 2 different answers: some say it will some say it wont. can anyone supply some evidence? i'm trying to compile all the evidence and reasoning i can so i can make my final decision as to buying it unbranded or just waiting for a subsidized version that i know will work with AT&T's 3G bands here in the U.S.
also, does anyone know if HTC will sell it for less or more than those sites like expansys and such?
If they release an unlocked one directly to the US, I am sure it will support either both AT&T and T-Mobile, or they will have 2 separate ones that support either.
Hi all,
Ive been thinking about getting the Touch Pro 2 for quite a while now, but then rumors appeared that Telus and Verizon versions will have a 3.5mm port on it seperately.
Now before i buy the Touch Pro 2 here in Germany, i was wondering what you guys think. Will the Touch Pro 2 with 3.5mm port ever be sold in Europe?
I'd even be happy with importing it IF it is unbranded (Hardware wise, ROM wise i can use HardSPL, which will be out by then )
Julian
My TP2 From T-Mobile Germany does NOT have the 3.5 port
Looks like it will be for the U.S market only.
I was curious about this myself, so I emailed HTC and this is what they said:
"There are no plans to do this that we are aware of.
It is possible, but nothing has been said about it.
best regards,
HTC Europe Support"
The "it is possible" bit gives me some hope, but not much.
edit: I was asking about the UK version
I'm new to these forums but my Girlfriend bought an HTC Touch Pro2 from a guy on Craigslist. Well she got a great deal on it but she has AT&T and the TP2 is on US Cellular. She didn't realize it wouldn't work when she bought it and is now upset about the purchase. I understand its a CDMA/GSM device, but i can't find a definite answer on how to unlock it for use on AT&T here in the States. Can someone help me out?
Check the sticky in the TP2 CDMA forum...has all the answers you'll need.

I got one of two HTC Tilt2 (same t7373 number) from the same link. But it was for an AT&T upgrade so it wasnt open to any carrier when i got it. It has the G-Sensor. Im guessing the G-sensor is a standard for this phone.
(oh, i got mine for 1 penny with upgrade compared to att wanting to charge 199 for an "upgrade"... lol)
yea you bought it for one penny because its for at&t, I bought it for $239

yep, mu3,. but still, you got a great deal on yours! especially for an unlocked phone where you can use for any carrier with sim card. I think i am going the route you have taken for my next phone buddy.
Hi there, anyone know where can i get a htc tilt 2 non camera from? Or anyone selling a used one?
Cheers!
I don't believe the Rhodium was ever made without a camera. I could be wrong, but I've never heard of a camera-less model. It is rare to see any smartphone without one now.
i also dont think they have ever made a rhodium without a camera, in fact, i cant name any recent phone without a camera, since 2005 i've had a camera on my phoen and they've mostly been just basic, you could just get a regular one and smash/take out the camera part!
I contacted HTC and received two replies. They are listed below.
Danielle from HTC said:
I appreciate your interest in the HTC TouchPro 2 and you were wondering about the Windows device without a camera. I know that AT&T has offered the HTC Tilt 2, which is their version of the HTC TouchPro 2 without a camera. You might check with a local AT&T retailer and see if they have some still in stock or you can look on-line on the AT&T Wireless shop. The decision concerning the availability of device features is up to the service provider.

Thank you for your reply. I understand the importance of knowing if there is a camera-less version of the Touch Pro2. To my knowledge, we did not mass manufacture a version of the Touch Pro2 without a Camera. If one is made, it was specially ordered. In our systems, we do not have a Model number for this specific product. I hope we have answered your questions in detail.

Tilt 1 has a camera less version.
I have one on ebay right now.
AT&T Tilt 2 With No Camera
It is definitely right about At&t having the Tilt 2 with no camera. When I got my Tilt 2 about a year ago the version w/o the camera was available. I am pretty sure that AT&T was the only carrier that had the non-cmaera version. Good luck in your search...
I inquired to AT&T about the Tilt 2 availability when I was searching for the device, and was informed that this device (the one w/camera) is nolonger sold in their retail stores/outlets and is only available online directly from them. I managed to find mine by purchasing for $300.00USD on eBay. Would have been cheaper online at the AT&T store if I qualified for an upgrade.
