HTC TouchPro 2

The long awaited HTC TouchPro2 smartphone was widely expected to be available by Sprint towards the end of this month. However, there is no sign of the phone’s release date in site and someone who claims to be an engineer with Sprint told us that it is because of a software bug that is similar to what caused the delayed release of the Palm Treo Pro.

If this is true, Sprint deserves to be complimented, not criticized. There is no point in releasing a smartphone with an unstable operating system (Hello first generation iPhone!) that is going to cause customer dissatisfaction, no matter how cool the phone is. Sprint users can feast their eyes on the Palm Pre until the HTC TouchPro2 is ready.
