I think that is precisely why they did.

Yeah, I'm sure that's why too.

but really the 2 main differences with the tf3d is that the weather tab can search for weather by gps on the weather tab and the home screen has the weather in the clock. i've played around with both extensively and the differences are very minor.

winmo 6.5 to me isnt a big deal of a change either jjust has a different screen lock, different icon designs nothing major of a change

now when winmo 7 comes out that will probably be the definative upgrade. But as far as imagio and the tp2 the differences are minor. I couldnt deal with the imagio because it doesnt have a physical keyboard but thats just my preferences. You could jus buy the imagio and u got 30 days to test it out if u dont like it get the tp2 instead. Besides winmo 6.5 is suppose to be available for the tp2 sometime this month they gave it a release date of Oct - November time frame. And this update is suppose to give the tp2 the exact same tf3d that the imagio has with the weather on the home screen inside the clock and everything

but imo the tp2 has better battery life and the keyboard which is why i'd recommend it over the imagio. My gf's imagio has memory issues sometimes so when she opens opera and closes it (minimizes it) and tries to go back to it , the program fully closed out because shes out of memory, i think the mobile tv and vcast videos hogs up alot of the memory. The tp2 and imagio have nearly the same processor and ram (im 90% sure their specs are the same) but the imagio has the mobile tv and vcast videos hoggin up more space.

just my 2 cents tho from using both devices...

None of the stores in my area (Tucson AZ) have the Imagio or TP2 on display to work with. Verizon is perpetually out of stock on the TP2 and when they did have it, they wouldn't sell it to me yet because I wasn't converted from Alltel to Verizon yet. Verizon has the 30 day policy buy they tell me I have to pay the restock fee (which is false adverting, that isn't a worry free policy but I won't get into that now). I'm so fed up with Verizon, it was why I left them in first place.

I keep reading more and more negative personal reviews of the Imagio which is really turning me off of the phone, and I have to keep waiting for the TP2. Maybe I'll just wait till the Droid is released (when ever that will be...)

I read the Droid is slated for a November 6th release , but its quite ugly in my opinion

to each his own.

To avoid the restocking fee just flat out return ( not exchange )the device and then buy something else.

But does that have to be done within a retail store or will that work for online as well?

Actually the Imagio is a CDMA HTC HD 2.

I think jbh00jh meant one of two things:

The Imagio is Verizon's version of the CDMA HTC HD 2 as Big Red probably won't have the actual HD 2 (Leo) on their network since this phone was released.

OR

The Imagio is the second HTC HD released.

But yeah, the Imagio is in no way the HTC HD 2 (Leo). lol
