Noah from Phonedog.com unboxes the brand new HTC Touch Pro 2 from Sprint. The HTC Touch Pro 2 has been available for quite some time. However, it was only recently that it made its’ way over to the CDMA Sprint network.

The Sprint version has a few noticeable physical changes such as the front physical keys, QWERTY keyboard colouring (it’s orange instead of green), and as Noah put it, a “Millennium Falcon” looking design on the back. The most notable change would be the addition of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, which has been absent from the HTC line for ages.

Surprisingly, the CDMA HTC Touch Pro 2 comes with a GSM sim card slot for global roaming purposes. This is great for users who travel a lot and do not wish to accumulate thousands of dollars worth of roaming fees.
