AT&T officially announced the availability of the HTC Tilt 2 and Pure.  We’ve already seen the Tilt 2 with official AT&T branding and it looks like they’ll be charging a pretty hefty sum much like the other carriers out there.  The PURE on the other hand, will be a bit cheaper but still cost a a pretty penny.  On a more positive note, both of these phones will be the first to sport Windows Mobile 6.5 on the AT&T network.

Feature wise the Tilt 2 has a 3.6-inch touchscreen and a slide out QWERTY keyboard.  They’ve also stuffed in dual speakers and dual microphones for some much needed and always welcomed noise cancellation.  Optics wise were looking at a 3.2 megapixel camera.  The Tilt 2 will be available in a few weeks for $299.99 after a 2-year contract signing and $50 mail-in-rebate.

The Pure sports a larger 5 megapixel camera but has a smaller 3.2-inch screen.  It will go on sale today for $199.99 after a 2-year and $50 mail-in-rebate.

Full release after the ‘leap’

At this point I think it’s safe to say that just about every carrier, except Sprint, will be carrierring their own branded version of the HTC Touch Pro2. And to firm things up, leaked photos of an AT&T Touch Pro2 have emerged complete with AT&T badges.  Except when it comes to market on the biggest carrier it will be called the Tilt 2.   We still don’t have a price or launch date, but considering we’re seeing pics of the phone in the flesh I’d expect it to go retail well in time for the Q4 holiday shopping season.
