HTC Touch Pro2, Snap coming to Telus -- with GSM in tow?

New inventory items in Telus' system are setting these old, weary interwebs ablaze, especially those parts of the interwebs where HTC devices are discussed with great love and passion. Specifically, the Snap and Touch Pro2 have made appearances -- not surprising, considering we know other CDMA carriers have these on the roadmap already -- but what's extra delicious here are the "World Edition" tags listed in the description field. That would imply that these are dual-band devices capable of supporting GSM abroad, which is music to any globetrotting suit's ears and a surefire way to sell a few more of these biz-oriented things. We've received similar inventory screen shots corroborating Boy Genius Report's which makes us even more certain they're on their way -- it's just a question of when and for how much.

I'm holding out for the T-mobile Wing 2 at the end of July, but if Sprint comes out with their own 'world edition' TP2 to be released shortly afterwards, I'll probably jump ship.

T-mob's network isn't as consistent in Indianapolis, and I don't even see Indy on their 3G roadmap.

let's hope tp2 ships with wm6.5 or telus offers a flash rom update soon afterwards. apple gets it pushing out os updates to the end user. ms/oems/carriers need to get their act together. with new iphones and os3.0 coming out shortly, this device needs to be priced competitively or it's game over.
