HTC Touch Pro Verizon Wireless

Without much fanfare, the HTC Touch Pro popped up on the Verizon Wireless Web site on Monday, complete with specs and pricing. The Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone is available for purchase online and through telephone sales now and in stores on December 1 for a pricey $349.99 with a two-year contract and after a mail-in rebate.

Verizon's version of the Touch Pro costs about $50 more than the Sprint model and AT&T's HTC Fuze, but offers many of the same features including a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The Verizon HTC Touch Pro also works on the carrier's EV-DO Rev. A network and supports VZ Navigator and the VZAppZone. We'll be wrangling up a review unit as soon as possible, so stay tuned!
