Slow and steady wins the race, right? Verizon’s certainly not the first off the gate with the Touch Pro 2, but they definitely just took the lead in our books. Both Sprint and T-Mobile are charging a dang-near-absurd $350 bucks for theirs, with the latter adding insult to injury by not even including a 3.5mm jack. (BOOOOOO!)
As we’d heard last week, Verizon’s Touch Pro 2 is not only coming in at a huge discount – $200 bucks after a $100 mail-in rebate – but it’s also packing the 3.5mm jack we love so dearly. Beyond that, expect all the same specs you’ve seen elsewhere, like the 3.6″ touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS, and that oh, oh, OH-so-gorgeous keyboard. Look for it in stores tomorrow.
