Touch the Sprint Touch Pro on October 26th

Sprint already launched the Touch Pro on September 10th, but today, it’s reannouncing that the product will, after a short delay, officially, finally, actually be available on October 26th. $299 is a bit higher than we’d be willing to shell out for a Windows Mobile phone with a slide-out keyboard that’s AT&T Tilt-esque, especially considering the $199 G1 on T-mobile,  the Apple product over in AT&T’s manger, and the number of other Windows Mobile 6.1 devices you can get for over $200 less.

The Touch Pro is, at its heart, the Touch Diamond, a beautiful device with a few faults. Instead of being limited to just 4GB of internal storage, as the Diamond is, the Touch Pro supports up to a 16GB microSDHC card. It also has a single LED flash for the same 3.2MP camera, and the aforementioned slide-out full QWERTY keypad.

Check out our hands on with the HTC Touch Pro to get a closer inspection. Is it worth the extra $40? That’s for you to decide on October 26th.
