HTC has announced in late-2008 that Touch HD, featuring a huge touchscreen, won't be available in the United States. It is not yet known what the reason is, but it's sure that Touch Pro2, having a similarly large display and a QWERTY keyboard, is in a completely different situation. According to HTC's announcement, the handset, announced in Barcelona, won't be available only in Europe, but in many parts of the world, including the United States. The launch date of the phone is not yet known, but it should be expected by mid-2009.
