The AT&T news keeps on a'comin' this weekend. After getting an idea of when the HTC Touch Pro 2 (aka Tilt 2) may be released, and then seeing it show up in inventory, the Boy Genius Report now says it has pricing information for it, as well as a couple of other anticiapted phones. Let's do this the easy way:

Tilt 2: $299 after contract and $50 rebate; $499 retail.
Touch Diamond 2: Codenamed the Warhawk and already seen at the FCC, will be known as the Pure and will go for ~~$199 after contract and $40 rebate.~~ Retails for $349. Update: BGR's updated and it now appears that the Diamond 2, er, Pure will go for $149.99 after contract and $50 rebate. (See the pic here.) The retail price still stands (and is pretty darn good).
Garmin-Asus Nüvifone G60: It lives! And it'll cost $299.99 after contract and $100 rebate. Will retail for $549.99.

No word on release dates for the later two phones, but remember that we're expecting the Tilt 2 in about a month.

(And remember, folks, the above picture is just an early render of the Touch Pro 2 and Touch Diamond 2 on AT&T. We're actually expecting the Tilt 2 to look like this.)

The top picture is with a EURO key board. The other picture looks real.

Way to miss note at the bottom of the article:

Goodbye AT&T. You've once again screwed up a key board.
There IS NO REASON to not have the number row at the top.
This just cost you a customer of over 10 years. I'm not gonna put up with idiodic nonsense anymore (keyboard on the new - long awaited - HTC Touch Pro 2.) Sprint is looking really good right now.

...while others of us love the fact the numbers are easy to use in a numberpad formation because we do heavy number entry in Excel.

So yeah, there is a d*mn good reason they made the keyboard that way.

@ Mystroz: "There IS NO REASON to not have the number row at the top."

Frankly there is . I fyou do a lot of number entry it is better to have it the way ATT does it. For emailing a well it is very convenient to have ATT scheme with punctuation at top.

I can see your preference but I bet ATT test marketed the idea. You and I and most visitors here may buy as consumers but most/many of these top WM phones are sold in lots to corporate buyers, and that is probably who they test marketed the scheme with.
