Sprint TP2 to Verizon droid pro?

Hi,
Few days back, I have replaced rumor touch with used TP2 for my sprint corporate account. Then immediately, there is a small chance I can try moving to Verizon. I am eligible to get Droid pro from Verizon. Droid pro seems to be the best choice available (LG Ally, Bold) to me if my company agree to move me to Verizon. Is Droid Pro significant upgrade for giving up TP2. Is it worth pursing this opportunity.

The Droid Pro should be a significant upgrade..but if you can I would suggest holding off a bit..

Thanks for the feedback. I only got few options to choose if i am allowed to move to Verizon (droid pro, lg ally, bold).
How small Pro screen when compared to TP2 for multimedia usage, browsing and checking mails.

I dont know how well its for multimedia because its not exactly a multimedia phone...it has 3.1 inch screen that is HVGA resolution..320x480..browsing should be good though as it has a 1ghz TI OMAP processor...Email should work fine too...

I am checking with our 3rd party vendor to see what kind of plan they are offering with Droid Pro and cost. As of now, I have limited data plan with sprint for TP2. My navigation works fine. TP2 screen is very good for listening/watching on youtube during gym/travelling. Does Droid Pro hot stop work with any data plan for me to pair a cheap tablet / TP2.

You can see hotspot on all stuff, just gotta know how..for example, if you buy a cheap android tablet, by default it does not accept adhoc networks..if you root it and install a custom wpa_supplicant it will be able to connect to adhoc networks. Though if you plan to pay for tethering, the default app should be infrastructure

I have tested youtube and browser on TP2. All of them are working fine on with Sprint. TP2 screen is very good. Navigation is very slow though. How old and inferior TP2 hardware compared to Droid Pro. Will TP2 processor, Hardware and OS suffice for basic multimedia, office usage.

The processor in the TP2 is like 5-6 years old.....The omap processor is around 2 years old.
