Question Is the TP2 Windows Mobile 7 Ready???

I really want to get a TP2, but Windows Mobile 7 is around the corner and I want that too when it becomes available, but what if the TP2 is not capable of running Windows Mobile 7? If that is the case I feel I should wait a few months and stick with my TP(1) until newer phones are released that were made for Windows Mobile 7.....

Does anyone know??

I've heard that WM7 will handle multiple simultaneous screen touches, but will the TP2?

If we all know for sure that the TP2 and WM7 will play nicely together, then it could impact my decision to go ahead and shell out the money. It's just a lot to invest in a phone that will be obsolete in a few months... (using the term obsolete loosely)

The word on the street is no, it is not. Whether someone can hack it to play nice on our device will be soemthing to be seen at the time. Out of the box, you will not see it released for the TP2 as the specs are not there to handle it......
