I just found this info on Engadget about the TP2
We know that Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile are all getting versions of the Touch Pro2, but what about little ol' AT&T? Turns out that device is codenamed "Fortress," and it'll accompany a Touch Diamond2 version known as "Warhawk" to market this summer. The Fortress is actually listed as targeted for May 25, which seems a bit unrealistic -- but we think the document we're looking at is a little stale, so we're sure the inevitable delay has crept into the schedule by now. It's expected to launch with WinMo 6.1 AKU6 (presumably upgradeable to 6.5 down the road) with full HSPA on three bands, AGPS, a 3.2 megapixel AF cam, 3.6-inch WVGA display, and Video Share support. Curiously, the bottom of the slide mentions that a "WM 7.X refresh" is in the works with a September 2009 launch date, which underscores the fact that this slide is likely a little old -- there's no way anything running Windows Mobile 7 is hitting this year if 6.5 will just be coming to market in volume toward the holiday season.
Meanwhile, the Warhawk -- AT&T's Touch Diamond2 -- gets a 3.2-inch WVGA display, dual-band HSDPA, AGPS, and Video Share, but unlike the Fortress, it's scheduled to launch with Windows Mobile 6.5 installed out of the gate. It's targeted for August 24, so we'll see how closely they can stick to that.

RE: Touch Pro 2 (RHOD300) Coming to ATT this summer

"With the impending battle that AT$T has brewing with Apple, they are going to need to beef up their line of " iPhone Killers " :p

That's for sure. The original iPhone didn't compare with HTC - no WiFi, no 3G, only one ap open at a time, but the newest iPod is getting closer. I hope the Fortress comes with the offset key keyboard that HTC has been showing and not the red aligned keyboard in the Engadget article. I'm guessing the Engadget photos are old news, since it also refers to WM7 coming out in September. We'll be lucky to see an AT&T official version of 6.5 by then.
