TP2 with Verizon branding - HTC Touch Pro2 brandishes Verizon logo, poses for camera with Cedar

Branding logos don't indicate who is first. So many logos indicate no one will have a 6 mo exclusivity agreement.

Your'e right, branding means nothing, really I understand that, but he obviously has access to resources that I don't and since he had the most anticipated device on the planet in his hand, I had to take his word for it. Though I left sprint a while ago and have been with T-Mo for years, I truly hope it comes to t-mobile, and I hope he was puffing spoke.....

Why? He was a beta tester. I have beta tested many WinMo OS's for Microsoft but my actual knowledge of of release dates and other issues was actually minimal and even non-existent. I'll wager he was just beating his chest. He liked the attention you gave him.

the TP2 is anticipated by many, but it won't have iPhone appeal or even Pre appeal. HTC would be foolish to grant exclusivity to just a few carriers. I for one am glad that many carriers seem to be interested in it and already have branded models.

We already know the other carriers in the US (at least att, Verizon, and sprint) will be releasing this phone. We've already seen the sprint branded and Verizon branded (and tmobile branded of course) versions. That doesn't mean anything. What does carry some weight however, is all the leaked documents from tomobile showing their release strategy, dates, and internal training schedules. With that said it looks like, even with the delay, tmobile will still be releasing it first.

Funny Ed... As of last weekend I'm in exactly the same boat you are

The LCD screen for my HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125... Three years old now) was cracked at a baseball game, and finally gave out completely on Thursday. So I'm on a Motorola v400 now, and my friend is going to loan me his old TMobile Wing to tide me until this comes out. So this news is equally devastating to me.

As a side note, I noticed that the TMobile Snap, which was supposed to be released on July 1st, according to the same source that reported a July 22nd date for the Wing II, has also not been released yet. So I'm thinking this is probably more along the lines of some sort of shipment delay or something... Some event that would effect two models.

The TP2 has been confirmed to be only a delay.
