Amidst a less-than-impressive lineup, U.S. Cellular has finally launched the HTC Touch Pro and kicked its smartphone offering up a notch or two. Earlier this month we reported that the Touch Pro was making its way to this scrappy young carrier but things were still at rumor status. Now that it’s here, we can likely make the assumption that the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, Samsung Gloss and LG UX840 won’t be far behind. As for the Touch Pro, it’s not exactly a new handset so we won’t bother c...

This week’s Canadian Best Buy ads have hit the presses, and the company had a bit of a shocker in store for those attentive enough to catch the gaffe. It seems that the big box retailer has let the cat out of the bag in regards to the upcoming Telus HTC Touch Pro. The handset appeared alongside the Touch Diamond and the Touch Dual in the ad spot, all but confirming that the QWERTY-equipped beast will be hitting Telus stores before too long. The ad doesn’t reveal anything in the way of details such...

HTC Touch Diamond not working out for you? We get it, you want a physical QWERTY keyboard. Oh, Touch Pro a little too big? You want something a little more simpler, huh? Starting today, HTC looks to fill that gap. They’ve just announced the HTC S740 and it features the same styling as the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and a numerical keyboard on the front.
