Default I ma happy once again

Switched to sprint this month after being on T-Mo for 8 years(MDA(Wizard), Tilt(on T-Mo)(Kaiser), G1) and 5 days ago found out devastating news - HTC touch Pro2 is coming to T-Mobile(i am currently on Sprint Diamons and Touch Pro but would love a bigger screen(even at the cost of a worse processor)). Well today i found out that HTC Rhodium is coming to sprint and apparently looks(is?) a lot like Touch Pro2 Happy once again!

HTC One - HTC Butterfly S coming - HTC Universal

XDA is about developing and is for developers. Any user that recognises that will gain the most benefit from this site


 
This is and always will be a site for developers, pure and simple. Without them we are nothing, without them there would be no reason for XDA Developers to exist; we should never ever forget that. Without them this place would not be called XDA-Developers but something else, e.g Mobile Phone User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

Previous devices: HTC: Treo 650 - Excalibur - Diamond - Diamond 2 - Maple - HD2 - Rhodium - Desire Z - Desire HD - Vivid - Sensation - One V - One X - Titan II - One X+ - DNA

Yeah, it doesn't really matter because all 4 major US carriers are getting the Touch Pro 2 (and/or their variants). SO... you are okay no matter who are with!
evolution
HTC Wizard G3
HTC Excalibur
HTC Dream
HTC Sapphire
HTC Rhodium
HTC Espresso
HTC Glacier
HTC Vision
HTC Doubleshot
Samsung Note 2

My recent works:
2G/3G/4G/H+ icons for CM7.1 and Nightly

How to defeat data throttling

2.1 with JIT enabled on MTS

boot animation (Nexus "X"/HTC "quietly brilliant") for MTS

Unless Verizon decides to gimp this phone again like they did with the Touch Pro.

Verizon's name is on the HTC spec. leak for the TP2 so you should be fine.
True they could scrap it but with the all other 3 big carriers getting it, I doubt they'd be that foolish...

htc doc with Verizon's name:

HTC Excalibur

It was leaked not announced... look at the spreadsheet I posted. It says tmobile usa and verizon. sprint is also set to get one. and at&t. but the last two aren't on the spreadsheet but were leaked through other venues. Q3 is the release date for the USA.
