T-Mobile USA will launch the HTC Touch Pro 2 on Aug. 12, becoming the first U.S. carrier to nab one of the Taiwanese smartphone maker's newest Windows Mobile-based phones. It was widely expected that T-Mobile would be the first U.S. operator to get the phone; in May, FCC documents indicated T-Mobile would carry the device.
The Touch Pro 2, first unveiled at Mobile World Congress in February, has a 3.6-inch WVGA TouchFLO 3D display, a tilt-capable screen and a full keyboard. The smartphone runs on a customized version of windows Mobile 6.1; customers will eventually be able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5 when it becomes available. The phone also supports a new feature from HTC called Straight Talk, which allows users to set up a multi-party conference call by accessing contact information in the user's email inbox.
The carrier said it expects the phone to be available nationwide in mid-August at T-Mobile retail stores, other authorized dealers and online. T-Mobile did not release pricing information for the device.

As mentioned earlier in an another thread, the version of the TP2 that Telus will be receiving will included a 3.5mm headphones jack, which is craze news.
Nothing had been said about the US version, but it now seems that the devices to be sold trough carriers in the states will also get the version with the standard jack. That's some crazy great news, and in my opinion is ample justification for having the TP2 released in North America a few months later than it was in Europe. Woot!
