Sprint is set to launch the HTC Touch Pro2 on September 8th for a wallet damaging price of $350, the same price at T-Mobile.

The latest firmware 1.08 update for Verizon’s HTC Touch Pro adds visual voicemail among other features. The firmware is free but the visual voicemail service will cost users an addition $3/month. Not worth it, IMO, unless you get a ton of voicemail.
Other new features include:
- Access to the GPS sensor via Google Maps
- Windows Live Search for Mobile
- EVRC-B codec support for improved calling management during heavy network congestion

We heard about the HTC Touch Pro 2 a few weeks ago and now pricing for the handset has been released, albeit for Singapore. I know, I know, that’s not the US or the UK, but it should provide some sort of indicator of what we should expect to pay for the unsubsidized handset. So, without further a due, Singaporeans will pay $1,328 SGD, which is equivalent to $887 or €670. The handset will go on sale there in June, which is around the same time we expect it in the West.
