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:

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.

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"!
If you have any questions I will answer them for you, but I will try to explain it as simple as I can.
When was your last upgrade used? If it was used before March 31st 2010 you should not lose the upgrade as you've already reached the 1 year mark. The system could change it, at which point you'd have to call and ask them to reset it, in a very kindly manner because they can say no.
If it was used after March 31st, you will lose it unless you've been with Sprint for 10 years or more, or you are on one of the new plans that still qualify you for yearly upgrades: $89.99 or higher for individual plans and $169.99 for family plans.
If you've been with Sprint 10+ years you will never lose the yearly upgrades (unless Sprint completely scraps the program). Same thing goes if you are on one of the plans I mentioned above.
If you're confused, let me know.
umm i just spoke to a rep and she said that i'm elgible for an upgrade on july 1 2011. and i'm only on the 69.99 and only been with sprint for a year. did she lie?

Ok, so I upgraded june 4th 2010 when I got my evo. So I will not get my upgrade this june? I was told I didn't have to worry this year? I really hope I am understanding this wrong.

Not necessarily, but come April 1st the program changes so your upgrade would be removed from July 1st 2011 to May 2012 as you're not meeting the newer qualifications to give you 1 year upgrades.
Okay:
3 Lines
Switched to Sprint / Contract started the day the evo launched
Currently have $150 dollar discounts x 3 - Says they were available the 1st of the month, but have been there since December.
Going to loose them or not, and if so, when - what do I have to do to get them back?

Correct, because the program changes and the price plan you have to meet to qualify you for year upgrades go up. Unless you switch to a qualifying plan, you will not qualify June 4th 2010. You would have to call back in June and ask for an upgrade reset.

This is an odd scenario, you switched all 3 lines June 2010? If so, how are all 3 lines qualifying for full upgrade? Only your main line would. Did you buy your Evo on the street or at full price? It could also be a system error that shows you qualify on all 3 lines instead of just the main line, in this case there's a 50/50 chance the system will not kick your upgrade once they do the sweep April 1st.

Ha, that's why I posted it...it hasn't remotely matched anybody else's scenario.
We switched from att to sprint (never been with sprint before) in June....maybe it is a system error!
I called and asked and the Guy said that all 3 qualified for $150 discounts.

Then in April you will qualify for yearly upgrades.
On April 1, can Evo owners call in to have their upgrade for this year reset, to potentially get a Nexus or Evo 3D?

No, as your upgrade would not have been due until June (assuming you upgraded in June)
I last upgraded Dec 2009, so I have been sitting on my 1 year premiere upgrade for a few months. I won't lose it April 1 and be stuck with the $75 off upgrade until I hit 22 months will I?

No, the system will change it automatically but you can call to have them reset it.
Last year I used an upgrade on another line on my account. Purchased it from radio shack, activated on the other line then went home called sprint and had the evo activated on my line.think I could get away with this again? I really would like the new evo and give this one to my brother but need to use his upgrade since he is the primary for some reason and gets the yearly upgrade.

Yes, this is common practice - to use another lines upgrade and switch the phone to whatever line you want.
What I really meant is that will I run into any issues when June 1st hits and I want to reset my upgrade to this year?

Yeah, theres a 50/50 you'll get a rep that doesn't "try" or is strictly by the book.
My bill is 175 a month with tax and insurance do I remain qualified

No, it has to be $169.99 base price plan, nothing added and the $10 premium charge doesn't count either
Ok I will have been with Sprint for 10 years on July 4th of this year and I will become a Premier Gold customer, now normally every July (last year I got my EVO July 10th) I can upgrade my phone.
So my question is will I automatically be eligible for my Premier Gold upgrade ($150 off) come July 10th since I have already done a year of my contract. Or will I have to wait until NEXT July to upgrade?
You should be able to even if your only eligible for the $75 off you can talk to someone at sprint and they can push a full upgrade through they did that for me last year for the og evo 4g
I found out today also about the the year deal. We have been with sprint for nine years. Pretty cool I guess.
You should be eligible for a full one this July. If not, just call sprint. Ask them about the ten year thing and ask them to describe in detail. Then ask about the new premier tiers and how they differ from old way. Be nice. Today, I was able to move from next November to this November. They will not mind doing the tier override if it is close to one year.
But I think in your case, you will have a compelling case. Just tell them about your loyalty to sprint and they will be happy to give you eligibility.

If your 10 year anniversary is July 4th you can upgrade on Aug 4th (if you are not already eligible). You have to wait 1 billing cycle for it to show up.

Ok that sucks hopefully I can get them to give me it in July. If not I'm gonna use my dads upgrade for my self and when he wants to upgrade he can use mine. I'm giving him my EVO 4G when I get the E3D so he wont need to upgrade for a while anyway.
But thanks for the info guys!
I am not due for an upgrade until April. However, i want the new iphone when it comes out...is there anyway to get them to let me have my upgrade early? We have been on sprint for over 5 years now..
You can only upgrade 2 weeks before your date.
Unless you can find someone and negotiate a "buy out" of your contract.
Sprint is moving to upgrades every 20 months for all users, if I remember right. If April would be 22 months, and the change takes effect soon-ish, the earliest you could get your upgrade would be February.
If you want to do it before then, you can either sell your Evo or have Sprint buy it back - I believe Sprint's buyback is $125 for the Evo. You'd still have to pay the difference, whatever that may be.
The best way to find out your options would be to just call Sprint & ask. If you have other phones that you're willing to part with (even from other carriers) Sprint may give you buyback credit on those as well, depending on the model. I believe that you can look up the buyback value on Sprint's website.

The 20 month upgrade only goes into effect after you upgrade after October 2.

"New lines of service and existing customers who upgrade on or after October 2, 2011 will receive future upgrades after 20 months"

Thanks for clearing that up. I was hoping it was in effect immediately, but things never seem to work that way.

Ok so last week I joined the Gnex family, and loving this phone so far. I did unlock the bootloader, but not sure if I'm going to root it yet, we'll see in due time. Best part is I got the phone by adding a line, crap stuck in another 2 year contract right, well wrong. Soon as I got home I called Sprint to swap numbers between my evo 3D and Gnex, so I could use my number I've had for 9 years on the Gnex, makes since right. Well the best part is that the number I wanted on the Gnex is due for an upgrade in April 2013 still. I thought that would have just stuck to the 3D, but apparently stuck to the number. So I'm hoping if a new nexus device is announced I can at least upgrade the Gnex in April of next year to the next greatest Google offering.
