The most recent Canadian FutureShop flyer advertises that they have the HTC Touch Pro (NOT DIAMOND) "GET IT 1ST!" for $239.00 on a 3-Year Contract with Telus Mobility. The problem is - Straight from the horses mouth (HTC in this case), "the HTC Touch Pro is not available in Canada and wont be for quite some time. There are alot of hurdles involved in getting devices into countries with carriers under subsidized programs. If companies are advertising the HTC Touch Pro forsale and as available in Canada, they have made an advertising mistake." Straight from Telus Mobility Public Relations "Telus Mobility has been trying to get the HTC Touch Pro onboard but has been unsuccessful in doing so - the device is currently not available in Canada, and appears to be the case at least for the rest of the winter at the minimum."

It could just be an honest mistake, or a practical joke....

It could just be an honest mistake, or a practical joke. There'll probably be a correction in next week's flyer.

Due to the lead time involved in our flyer creation process, we sometimes are faced with situations where we are not able to affect changes to reflect a change in market. This is such a situation where Future Shop received market changing information after the flyer was already sent for printing.
