HTC Adding 3.5mm Headphone Jack to CDMA HTC Touch Pro2

Kim Poh Liaw — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 03:44:48 +0000

HTC seems to be adding an extra 3.5mm headphone jack to the HTC Touch Pro2, which is discovered on the CDMA version for Telus Canada. It is placed beside the original ExtUSB port, giving a convenient access for earphones connection. Unfortunately the GSM version will not have this add on, music audio connection will have to rely on the ExtUSB port or the wireless bluetooth.
