I love it when a rumor gets validated. Verizon Wireless has put out a press release (Posted on Gizmodo) confirming the launch of the HTC Touch Pro2 on their network. This Friday, September 11th, is D-Day for the Touch Pro2.

The surprising thing about Verizon launching this phone is the price. Most other carriers are charging $350 for the privilege of packing this WinMo beauty. Verizon's, however, comes in at just $200 after a mail-in rebate. I hate to show favoritism for a carrier, but VZW is offering the best deal by far on the Touch Pro2. And, to make things even better, their version of the smartphone has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Keep this up, Verizon, and you'll have a lot more happy customers.
