HTCTOUCHPRO2.jpgSprint  will start selling the HTC
Touch Pro2
on September 8.  It has
Windows Mobile 6.1, the TouchFLO user interface and entertainment apps, including Sprint TV with live
and on-demand programming, and Sprint's exclusive sports applications
NFL Mobile Live and NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile.

When we tried the HTC Touch Pro 2 smartphone at CTIA it had "great text appeal." The keyboard was easy to use and one of the best we've tried on a smartphone.

The HTC
Touch Pro2
features a large 3.6-inch WVGA variable-angle tilting touch
screen and an ultra-wide, slide-out keyboard that is larger than its
predecessor. Touch Pro2's high-speed connectivity over Sprint's 3G
network (EVDO Rev. A) with Wi-Fi and world phone capability ensures that
customers stay connected on the go.

The Sprint Mobile Broadband Network (inclusive of data roaming) reaches
more than 271 million people, 18,652 cities and 1,838 airports. The
Sprint Networks (inclusive of data roaming) have three times the
coverage of AT&T's current 3G network and more than 20 times the
coverage of T-Mobile's current 3G network, both based on square miles.

"More than ever, today's wireless customers expect to stay productive
whether they are on the road or in the office," said Kevin Packingham,
senior vice president - Product Development for Sprint. "HTC Touch Pro2
on America's most dependable 3G network makes that a
reality. And with Sprint's Simply Everything plans, which include voice
minutes, messaging and data for one low price, we let customers focus on
all their phone can deliver."

Sprint's Simply Everything plan is another excellent choice
that provides unlimited nationwide calling, texting, e-mail, social
networking, Web browsing, GPS navigation, Sprint TV, streaming music,
NFL Mobile Live, NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile and much more for only $99.99
per month. That's a savings of $1,200 over two years vs. a comparable
AT&T iPhone® plan. Sprint Everything Data
plans with unlimited messaging and data start at just $69.99 for 450
minutes with unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling and unlimited nights and
weekends starting at 7 p.m.

Equipped with the latest version of HTC's hallmark TouchFLO 3D user
interface, HTC Touch Pro2 offers a user experience that makes keeping in
contact with colleagues and customers easy and intuitive. Easily switch
from e-mail to a call with one touch by simply selecting a friend or
colleague's picture right in your e-mail. Customers can create an
instant office with Straight Talk's dual microphones and speakers to
filter out noise.

"Unlike devices that focus solely on specifications, HTC Touch Pro2 was
designed with the philosophy that people should be at the center of the
communications experience," said Jason Mackenzie, vice president of HTC
America. "So, instead of having to search through multiple applications
to find a specific message, HTC Touch Pro2 intuitively organizes all
communications, whether voice, text or e-mail, under a single contact
card."

Additional business features available on HTC Touch Pro2 include
International Quad-Band capability (CDMA, GSM); Straight Talk™
Technology with dual speakers; dual microphones and a mute button to
provide a professional speakerphone experience; full HTML browser from
Opera; stereo Bluetooth wireless technology; WorldCard Mobile Business
Card Scanner; Facebook integration; and Linked inboxes, which easily
link personal and work contacts.

The extra-large tilting display makes the HTC Touch Pro2 an outstanding
device for enjoying video content, while the built-in 3.5 mm audio jack
makes it easy to listen to music with virtually any headphones. A
microSD card slot makes it simple to expand storage with an optional
memory card for large libraries of multimedia content or for saving
images captured with HTC Touch Pro2's auto-focus 3.2 megapixel
camera/camcorder.

The HTC Touch Pro2 costs $349.99 with a
two-year service agreement and after $100 mail-in rebate.
