Sprint Confirm HTC Touch Pro Smartphone Release Delayed [Sprint Touch Pro Launch Set Back]

Sprint have confirmed that the launch of the Windows Mobile 6.1 powered HTC Touch Pro smartphone, which was supposed to become available via Sprint from 19 October, will no longer be launched on that date but will probably now appear towards the end of October or the beginning of November (unless its launch is set back yet again, of course).

A Sprint spokesperson told Crave, “Sprint expects to slightly delay launch of the Touch Pro by HTC to ensure we have adequate inventory in all channels before making the device commercially available. Customers can expect the device to become available in select national retailers by the end of the month and then in all Sprint sales channels including online at www.sprint.com and Sprint Stores by early November.”

In honesty, it’s hardly a colossal delay, but those looking forward to getting their hands on the highly desirable HTC Touch Pro will obviously be hoping that this delayed launch date transpires not to pass into further setbacks on the basis that their anticipation is already undoubtedly at boiling point.
