Oh no, we’re not done just yet ladies and gents. We already know October 6th is going to be a glorious day and now it looks like AT&T subscribers will be able to join in on the fun. Have you been feeling left out, wondering when AT&T would finally launch the HTC Touch Pro2 that is already available from T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon? Dry those eyes, as AT&T apparently had a good reason to hold off on the launch. According to our ninja, AT&T is preparing to launch the Pro2 — dubbed Tilt 2 by AT&T as we already know — on October 6th. Since the release will come after Windows Mobile 6.5 becomes a reality on the 6th, it’s a safe bet that the Tilt 2 will pack WinMo 6.5 right out of the box if all goes according to plan. Sure, it might have taken a while but AT&T fans can now take solace in knowing they’ll be rocking 6.5 while other Pro2 owners are busy trying to upgrade.

UPDATE: It looks like the target release date of the 6th will be missed due to a few bugs that still need to be ironed out and tested. The new target is apparently October 18th.

IF you’re 30 days will not expire by the 18th, then repeat after me: I will return my I-Phone and hope that the cellular handset Gods won’t think too harshly of me for acting way too impulsively. Cliffy44 Reply: I couldn’t agree with you more. Seeing all the pictures of the Fortress / Tilt 2 with a dedicated upper row of numerals was a refreshing change upwards from my Fuze (Touch Pro 1). And, I never missed a chance to write about my fantasy headset, as it was the best thing since the wheel, sliced bread and fire.
