HTC Touch Pro3 Coming This Summer?

on 03/16/2010, filed in Home > CellPhones

This is still very much unconfirmed, but some folks over at the XDA-forums have mentioned that there might be a HTC Touch Pro3 shipping this summer. According to the tidbit, the device will be slimmer and smaller, but that’s about all the information at the moment. We certainly wouldn’t mind seeing an updated Touch Pro2 (probably dubbed the Touch Pro3), possibly running Windows Phone 7 Series or Android, but until we see some official documents or live pictures leaked, this will probably be confined to the rumor bin.
