The Touch Pro comes with a less desirable velcro case, not much of a step down but a step down in terms of accessories none the less. I also have pleasure of owning a Treo Pro and while the gsm versions are supposed to come with a pair of headphones the sprint version comes within nothing more than the charger. Now get to the TP2 this also came with noting more than a charger. The lack of accessories that come with a $350 phone (sprint) kind of bothered me until tonight. Tonight I just have to laugh at the way things are being cut on the high end. Today I purchased a $15 tracfone as a temporary place to port a number. This $15 phone came with a leather case that has a magnetic snap and a very nice lining. A pair of headphones with mic, a wall mini usb charger and a car mini usb charger. The case fits my girlfriends bb pearl perfectly and who can't use a couple extra chargers. Seriously is anyone else bummed by the lack of traditional accessories and why is it that a $15 phone comes with all of this?
I think one reason that they do not include those accessories is because they are losing money and people don't use half the accessories. I can't even count how data cables i have lying around. Also the headphones that came with the tp1 i never used, now we have tp2 with 3.5mm i for sure wouldve just thrown the headsets away and use my Bose headsets i have lying here. Also what would i do with a 1gb or 2gb memory card when i have my 16gb here chillin. All of the accessories that you are asking for half or more of the customers will not use them. The only thing i might have used wouldve been a leather case.
