US Cellular Touch Pro out
Confirming an earlier April report, US Cellular is now offering the HTC Touch Pro smartphone handset on its network. The Touch Pro, equipped with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system and HTC's TouchFLO 3D interface for the 2.8-inch VGA display, costs $250 through the provider with a two-year contract and mail-in rebate. Contract-free pricing is set at nearly $600.
Other features of the Touch Pro include Wi-Fi functionality, Bluetooth with A2DP support for wireless headphones and headsets, as well as a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. The CDMA handset connects to EVDO Rev A mobile data networks. Internal memory is locked at 512MB, but can be expanded via external microSDHC cards. A WorldCard Mobile business card reader lets users add contacts simply through scanning. [via MobileBurn]
