We’d been hearing about the HTC Tilt 2 for some time and also had been suspecting it could be a variant of the HTC Touch Pro smartphone. There was news of the HTC Touch Pro 2 coming to AT&T and we had to wonder whether this was another avatar of the Tilt 2.

Sure enough, the picture below confirmed out suspicions of the same. Here is the Touch Pro 2, complete with the AT&T logo pasted on it. We still have no idea when it will be coming, but we sure hope it happens some time soon. We’re tired of the wait. Are you listening, AT&T?

One thing here – we still don’t know why AT&T would want to return to the Tilt branding, but hey, that’s how companies work sometimes.

According to some leaked reports, the Samsung Omnia 2 and the LG Chocolate Touch BL40 are supposedly gearing for release on August 23rd. A snapshot of a leaked document from Best Buy seems to indicate this news. According to these reports, the BL40 and the Omnia 2 will be released side-by-side. A veritable clash of the titans, we say!

There are supposedly some other devices on release too, including the Samsung Rogue, Solstice and a red Xenon. There is also the mention of a Samsung Tour – we don’t quite understand that, since it’s already released on Sprint and Verizon. Samsung’s “green phone”, the Reclaim, is also set for release on August 16. Hmm, looks like a good, interesting list out here. We’re just hoping all this info is true….

We have managed to get our hands on a supposed “pre-launch” list of AT&T phones. The list is very riveting indeed. It includes some very interesting phones such as the BlackBerry 9700 smartphone, Garmin-Asus nuvifone G60, the HTC Tilt 2 and something referred to as the “HTC Pure” (we still need to find out what that is, though we think it might be something like the Snap).

There are no Android or webOS smartphones on the list, though. Must say we’re disappointed with that. Anyway, the nuvifone seems to be entering the market soon. We’re hoping it makes up for everything else. What say, guys?

We just told you how MetroPCS intends to increase business by offering revised service plans and additional features in each plan (click here for original post). Competition everywhere is pretty high. So now, both Virgin and Tesco Mobile in the UK are going ‘unlimited’ with their tariff plans too.

Virgin Media have lifted the curtains off their £65/month tariff, which comes with unlimited call, text and mobile Internet usage. The problem is that you have to sign an 18-month contract. This service does not include the Samsung Jet, Nokia N86 and some other devices. Well, that seems to be a very long-standing contract and not really too inexpensive, so we have to see if this will be as popular as the company expects it to be.

Next comes Tesco Mobile, which has also introduced its new ‘unlimited’ tariff plan. It offers a pay-per-month contract at a mere £30/month. In addition to this, this service is SIM-only, which means, you need to get your own device. This tariff is basically talk and text only. So this is a great idea if you only message and make a lot of domestic calls. But if you are used to making international calls or browsing the Net on your phone, this tariff plan is clearly not for you. Click here to know more about Tesco Mobile.
