Sprint will begin selling an EV-DO version of the HTC Touch on November 4. This version has the same features as its GSM brother, with a touch-sensitive screen, HTC's TouchFLO interface, microSD slot, stereo Bluetooth and 2 Megapixel camera. The Sprint version will feature access to the carrier's music store, video content and On-Demand application in addition to the Windows Mobile 6 Professional (Pocket PC) applications. It will sell for $250 with a 2 year contract and rebate.

GPS?

I am sure this phone is GSP compatible, but will Sprint Navigation / TeleNav be available for it? Will there be any similar navagation service that isn't ridiculously expensive for the Touch?
yes, it will.
and telenav is $10...

Why such a big difference??

Why do the US version of phones differ so much from the versions in other places like europe and asia. Other versions of the sprint touch(Vogue) have wi-fi and some kind of GPS, even come with 1GB card. with sprint 512 card and no definitive proof of wi-fi or gps... cant we get a phone that has it all... 😲

Even if Sprint Introduced 100 New Phones Like This...

...some dummy on PS will post "Sprint never gets any cool phones".

See my post on "I'm Through With Sprint". It neatly sums up the jr. high school mentality of some of the morons who post here.
use caution though his sarcasm was hard to detect at first.... i didn't catch it at first

Service Plan?

Right now i'm on a small family plan and for three phones we pay around 100 bucks. I also have unlimited texts... How much should I expect to add extra to my monthly bill in terms of price and features for the Touch? I would at least want the internet and stay with my unlimited texts...
$15 will get you internet with some sprint TV and radio stations...

I may be wrong, but I believe any data plan qualifies for the rebate, so you are only looking at an extra $15 to $25 bucks a month. Go for it! I can't wait to get mine.

Retail Price?

Anybody know how much this device is going to go for at retail price?
Well since sprint is so high with their prices, I would bet that is would be somewhere around the 500-550 range. 😲 but I am just guessing.

Meh.... It's a Mogul without a keyboard...

That's all.
yep....agreed!

Not much to write home about here. i think biz users really want a keyboard.
I would have to disagree with you. There are differences between the two phones. For one, you have the capability of looking at full webpages, like the iPhone. Plus this is a multi-touch screen instead of just a single touch like most touch screen ...

I would have to disagree as weel. Although this phone shares the same OS and has some similar features, it adds the TouchFlo interface and has a more versatile touch capability. Although it doesn't have WiFi and a keyboard this device is not meant to...

This is the iPhone Killer, same style..... 5 times faster, more Multi Media than most phones, PDA's, and Ipods put together. Welcome to Sprint Speed. Oh Yeah.... Half the price too. Sure to piss off all the AT&T lovers. I can't wait to get mine, and s...

I haven't been able to find any real technical info about this phone (but i haven't had much time to look either) and was wondering if this phone will have more ram than the mogul has.

That would be a nice improvement and probably necessary to ru...

Unless they fixed the keyboard, this thing is gonna suck! keyboard is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small.
they actaully did fix the Keyboard. EVERYONE this is the GSM HTC TOUCH, not the HTC VODUE AKA SPRINT TOUCH.
