T-Mobile Gets in Touch with the HTC TouchPro2

T-Mobile has announced it will begin offering the HTC TouchPro2 smartphone to customers on August 12, 2009—although the company is still being coy about how much it plans to charge for the Windows Mobile 6.1-bearing smartphone. The HTC TouchPro2 is designed to appeal primarily to business customers, and features HTC’s Straight Talk technology that offers a reasonable conference call experience using integrated asymmetric speakers and full-duplex acoustics.

“This summer, many people are balancing summer vacations and time away from the office with the pressures of the workplace,” said T-Mobile USA director of product marketing Travis Warren, in a statement. “We are pleased to announce the HTC Touch Pro2, a uniquely designed device that will help customers manage their day-to-day activities, whether they are in the office or working from an airport, the local playground, or the car.”

The HTC TouchPro2 features both 3G and Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) connectivity, along with a 3.6-inch WVGA touchscreen display, stereo Bluetooth, and a full QWERTY keypad for managing messages and email. The unit also sports a built-in GPS for supporting location-based services, along with a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus for recording images and video. Of course, the phone also features the full Windows Mobile 6.1 suite, so users have access to Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, Exchange email, as well as mobile versions of Microsoft’s mainstream Office productivity applications. T-Mobile will be offering the phone in a “mocha” finish.

Again, T-Mobile hasn’t outlined what it plans to charge for the HTC TouchPro2, but that information should be available when it hits T-Mobile retail stores and authorized dealers mid-month.

Get 32% off the cellular model of the iPad Pro 12.9 this weekend

If you've been thinking about getting the iPad Pro with cellular connectivity but you've been hoping to buy the tablet from iPad deals for a discount, this may be what you've been waiting for -- a 32% discount from Amazon's Woot on the 12.9-inch, Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 2021 Apple iPad Pro with 128GB of storage. From $1,199, it's down to just $810, which is a steal price for this device with savings of $389. However, while there are still several days left on this offer, it's highly recommended that you proceed with the purchase immediately because there's a chance that stocks don't last that long.

Why you should buy the 2021 Apple iPad Pro 12.9
It's not the latest version of Apple's top-of-the-line tablet -- the honor goes to the 2022 Apple iPad Pro -- but the 2021 Apple iPad Pro is still a pretty powerful device by today's standards. That's because it's equipped with Apple's M1 chip, which promises fantastic speed and excellent graphics when you're working on your multimedia projects, multitasking between several apps, or playing console-level games. With its 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR touchscreen, you'll enjoy high-brightness and high-contrast content, and its mini-LED display provides deeper black levels and more vibrant colors.
