Any festering belief that Verizon’s version of the HTC Touch Pro is nothing more than a figment of our collective imagination can probably be put to bed at this time that we have it strutting its stuff on video, yeah? It looks pretty much like what you’d expect it to, sporting an interface every bit as crimson as we’ve come to expect from a carrier lovingly (or not so lovingly) nicknamed “Big Red.” It’ll have 512MB of ROM, TV-out, microSD support up to a purely theoretical 32GB, and an integrated business card scanner to put the 3.2-megapixel autofocus cam to work — enough to make the Windows Mobile faithful on Verizon drool and give pause before setting their sights on the Omnia, we figure. It’s not clear precisely when it’ll hit retail, but November 14 is sounding like a possible Dat. for deliveries to start; in the meanwhile, follow the break for the full video!

BREW Ninja, who readily (and oddly for a ninja) enough admits that he’s a mobile QA engineer over at Yahoo! Mobile, just scooped 3x phones in this quickie 4 and half minute video. The HTC Coke — a variant of the HTC Touch Pro — and tiny LG Lotus (AKA, LX600) with full QWERTY for Sprint are Bot. engaging attention, but it’s the hands-on video of RIM’s touchscreen Thunder that blows our doors. At about 2:50 in, he reveals the BlackBerry Thunder for Verizon saying, “I don’t like it, it’s, it’s an ok phone.” His biggest concern seems to be the touchscreen (something we’ve heard before) which acts like a button — you have to actual push the screen, hard, unlike most capacitive touchpanel devices. See for yourself after the break.
