I got off the phone with a sprint rep a little while ago, i told him that my mogel was having problems and i didn't want to use my insurance if the touchpro 2 was coming out soon. he checked and said it would be out on july 25.
wow!

my birthday is july 31 and this would be an awesome birthday gift!!
maybe i am jumping ahead of myself
Can anyone verify this?
I have a dying Mogul too. Can't.....hold....out...much....longer! Sprint guy tried to sell me on a TP, but he forgets that I demo'd one from him, and I didn't think it was worth leaving a fully functional Mogul. Glad I held out.
We've all heard rumors before, so is there anyone else who's heard this release date?
well if thats true that would be great. I went to a local sprint store, tp/diamond werent even on display and i asked about the tp2, he said they havent told them anything and it will probly come out in october or so
no comment... I'm tired of this BS with release dates.
Wha????? noooooooooooooo!! What happened to August 12th? grrrrrr. It figures though. Heck, even Telus (Canada) has there's out already. Price of $249 w/ 3 yr. contract.
Oh well, I shall continue to wait.

lol it's only 3 days later it's not that bad. at least you have a TIME FRAME to look for for a release. AT&T is being stupid with their TP2 variant.

True. So true. But I sooooooo hate this BB Pearl Flip.
Err, still August 12th
sales rep is wrong, phones are always released on a Wednesday... the date has been stated in multiple internal documents, there is no reason they would push it back 3 days
Weird...I'm visiting Ohio & just asked a tmob sales rep at a mall. He also said Aug. 15th!
Still the 12th.
Training was given over 3 weeks ago.
No price given yet though.....
The myTouch has the limelight because of Google.
I find it funny how I write No Comment. But after that I write a comment about how I feel about that.
My local Tmobile Store told me Aug 12th at first but I called yesterday and they said the 15th too. Maybe they will make it available for online ordering on the 12th and stores will put it out on the 15th ??
I can't wait to switch from ATT. ATT sucks.

no. No. NO. I just talked to Pda/BlackBerry dept. and it is definately the 12th. T-Mob NEVER releases phones on a Saturday. It's just the company's policy. Wednesday is like a "Thank God I am in the middle of the week" release date. I am upgrading from a BB, they have made a special allotment for me , I guess I am just used to HTC phones. The local T-Mob stores don't know nothing. Heck, I went instore yesterday to my fav rep, and she said they didn't even have the display version yet, so how would they know. lol. But then again, she is getting the myTouch 3G so .. well.. .. anyway.

Lets hope so man. I can't wait to get it my hands on it. I will pop by at the tmo store in my neighborhood tomorrow and see whats up.
Maybe that will give me more time to sell my BB 8900. I need a buyer and I don't have one yet. I wont be able to buy the TP2 if I don't get someone to buy my 8900. I will have to get it 2-3 weeks after it drops!

Sweet thanks!
I was on the phone with T-Mobile earlier asking if I have an upgrade. While finding out she asked me what phone I wanted and I said the TP2. She said "that doesn't release until Wednesday!"
All right so I am getting mine tomorrow. My local Tmo store has 6. Guy told me 2 are already spoken for and I just got the 3rd one.
can't wait!!!!!

Did the guy mention the price? Cause Tmonews got a hold of a price sheet, $349 for 2 year contract
I'm with AT&T, but I really hope that is not going to be the price point.

I was going to get this phone, but the $349.00 price is outrageous. I am NOT under contract with T-Mobile (customer for SEVEN YEARS), so if they can't come down, I'm walking right over to AT&T. I've been using a Wing for two years and I've been waiting patiently for T-Mo to release a new winmo phone, and the price turning out to be so high after all this waiting has me steamed.

I'm just worried all of the carriers might price it the same.
$349 with a $50 mail-in-rebate I could understand. But $349 and a 2 year contract is really bad.

To add fuel to my fire, they are also going to require a data plan for the entire two years. I live in a rural area, so I am stuck with T-Mo's notoriously slow EDGE network; T-Mo's 3G network doesn't come within 35 miles of my house!

Release date
From the numerous information that I have obtained over many many forums and insiders and reps, my guess right now is around Sept. 15th.
Again this is just my opinion. It has to be before Oct. which is why VZW's and Sprints have WinMo 6.1. 6.5 is to release in Oct. and neither wanted to wait that long so they are gonna release it before then and I am sure there will be a ROM update to convert to 6.5
I hope this helps a little. The VZW Rep list for "Coming Soon" devices only goes up to Sept. 8th for now.
Im really hoping its early Sept, i dont see why if it was gonna be around mid Sept they wouldnt just push it back till Oct and release it with Wm6.5 instead of doing an upgrade after its released.
HTC Touch Pro2 graces Verizon on September 11
As reported in Engadget:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/htc-touch-pro2-graces-verizon-on-september-11/
Verizon Touch Pro 2 9/11/09
Here's another one from engadget. Not sure if I should order it tomorrow or hold off a while with my TP1.
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/...touch-pro2-prices-it-right-at-200-on-contrac/
Well, since I have AT&T and they are sitting on their ass I wish i could buy the VZ version, unlock it for AT&T. And we know for sure the VZ version has a 3.5mm jack.
What is interesting is that on the VZ website it shows GSM and CDMA radios.
http://news.vzw.com/news/2009/09/pr2009-09-10.html
Wonder if it would work on both networks.
I thought I'd be able to pick up my phone today before leaving on a birthday cruise for my wife, but was disappointed to find out the TP2 was available on line only.
I attempted to order on line twice, having the system hang up on the "accessories" tab, and had to call customer service to place my order. At least my phone will be waiting when I return next week. Now I can dream about my new toy "at sea"!

EDIT: Was told by a T-Mobile rep that it will be released tomorrow. No official word on pricing yet though

Is that one LTE enabled? What bands is it using if so?
Cant wait, finally due for an upgrade to my MT4G. Perfect timing for release.
The lady and I are looking forward to upgrade from our MT4Gs this month also. And I'm also hoping it will officially be future proofed with LTE.

From the various announcement/rumors I listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32952815&postcount=5
I would expect it to officially release next week as opposed to an announcement of release date. My biggest evidence is the internal memo to Tmo stores saying its gonna release on the 24th, but it is the same day as the Samsung announcement so possibly the 25th like sprint.

It cannot have LTE because T-Mobile does not have LTE.
Their "4G" is HSPA+ --- which the Note II *will* have-
There is nothing on the spec page about the Galaxy Note II for T-Mo having LTE.
Also, the "Launch Date" is October 24th for T-Mo

It can and does have an LTE radio in addition to the HSPA+ radio. It obviously won't be activated until T-mobile gets its LTE network up and running.

1) Yes, we know T-Mobile doesn't have a LTE network yet, but they will and the galaxy note 2 is supposed to support that network when it comes out (mid 2013)
2) I wouldn't trust the specs page much... yesterday the gray one was missing the 1900mhz band while the white one listed it. And many sources have said it does come with LTE support.
3) have you any sources? Outside of T-Mobile stating that its released on the 24th, its still a rumor (the internal document listing the 24th is a week and a half old, who knows if that's still valid)
Thus rendering your post almost useless...

Correct me if I'm wrong. But I have not seen any OFFICIAL word that it will have LTE. I have seen the leaked bands of the device from the FCC. BUT! until Tmobile or Samsung officially announce it. I won't believe it till I see or hear it.

T-mobile has no real incentive to promote the fact that it is compatible with a network it doesn't have yet.

No prob although this forum needs a wiki post right under the OP so that we can put all this information there (without having the OP update the OP).
I just called my local T-Mobile store asking if they knew when the new phone would come in and the rep told me that she too was waiting for it and that they are being sent a demo unit, due to arrive in the next few days and should have the phone in stores within the next 2 weeks. She wouldn't get more specific though ... I have read on the tmonews article discussion that some places have a "notify" list if you're interested

Yeah I saw that also. Funny how fast those "notify" lists are growing. If your local T-Mo rep said phones would be in stores within 2 weeks, and it's true, that encouraging to hear instead of Nov 15th release date.
I have about 3 stores within 15 min drive. I will be visiting all of them tomorrow.

I personally think it'll be out sometime next week, but if I'm wrong at least before Nov 2nd.
The only thing keeping me from thinking next week is the press event t-mobile is having on the 29th.

I am just curious how AT&T has handled new releases of phones in the past (big announcements like the S3, iPhone, etc.)
Did they announce well in advance, the day before, or what??
Do they have ample supplies of the new phone in their stores on release day (obviously the iPhone is an exception, but what about a phone like this).
I am on Sprint now and want to get on AT&T BADLY, so I am hoping that I am not going to have to wait long amounts of time.
EDIT
AT&T will be Nov 9th, $300 on contract. Source:

Eric, thanks but this doesn't really answer my question.
I am curious how they have handled big new releases IN THE PAST, to understand what to expect here.
Given the mess that AT&T made with the SGS3 launch, no one has any idea. In that particular case, they never OFFICIALLY announced a launch date, and then kept unofficially pushing back the date that they never actually announced.
People who made pre-orders for the phone 3 weeks before the unofficial launch date got their phones a couple days after they were originally promised (and in at least one case I know of - it was a full 2 weeks after.)
Actual AT&T corporate stores were kept completely in the dark with no official announcements, and lots of unofficial rumors.
Perhaps, becaue of that disaster, they will keep completely silent on the issue until they are ready to actually hand the phones to customers.
I'd bet that you'll be able to get one before Thanksgiving (2013.)

Thanks Gary. I was unaware of all the mess with the S3 (mainly I guess because I am not an AT&T customer YET).
Sigh... I guess I need to stop obsessing and stop checking for an announcement every day from AT&T. Although I doubt that will happen. :/
I will look to next Wednesday to see what Samsung and/or AT&T possibly announce.

I've been doing the same thing man lol. The Sprint announcement gave me some hope but at this point we're so close to the 24th that we'll find out in just 6 days anyway.
I've been waiting so long that I feel like my honeymoon period with the phone is already over. But I am sure that feeling will change once I have the device in my hand and I move away from this super annoying and tiny iphone 4s screen.

T-mobile has not announced an official release date, but it certainly won't be on the 24th because Samsung's event is at 7pm on the 24th to officially launch the phone in the US.

I pre ordered the SGS III on ATT and received it on the date I was promised, June 21. It was not as smooth as they wanted granted, but the expectations of people were way out of control in my opinion. There may have been some issues outside of their control, but they did not communicate with their customers like they should have. I doubt the Note 2 will have that type of demand. I expect an announcement fairly soon with pre ordering and or shipping to begin soon thereafter.

You got the phone on June 21st, but do you remember how soon before that they announced the pre-order?
Just wondering was it AT&Ts fault for the delays or outside of their control? I'm an AT&T customer and always have preordered my iPhones at 2am(central time) when preorders start and I have always received my phone when they said it would arrive.... Going on 5 different launch day orders with no issues.
when pre-ordering through the att website...are there any issues with keeping a grandfathered unlimited data plan (to be bumped up to lte unlimited)?
in the past, i'd just walk into an att store on launch day...just to make sure i wouldn't lose unlimited due to some automatic computer script...
Would like to know about pre ordering also online, though through Verizon. Have unlimited data and will be paying full price. This do able ordering online, without losing unlimited?

Yeah, very unclear.
I called my corporate AT&T store last week, they had no clue on the Note 2 release details. None that they were sharing anyway.
Just called my corporate store again. No date known according to them.
