Same here, my TP does everything I need well, and I don't want to give up my d-pad (doubling as a scroll wheel) for any of the devices out there.

It was bad enough having to give up all the handy buttons when going from my Mogul to the TP (especially with AE Button Plus making common tasks so quick & easy).

I also like the TP's compact size and being able to use a stylus to make precise screen selections and avoid having to smudge my screen with finger oil.

Even the 1st-gen WM7 devices may not be good enough to make me reconsider. If my TP dies, however, and Sprint/Asurion won't replace it with another, I'll settle for the best available at the time.

I've had my TP since dec '08 and plan to get the EVO when it comes out. There was no way i was going to spend close to $500 for a TP2 with no real upgrade made.

$500? I've had friends pick up brand new in box ones with clean esn's for $250

so $250 for a "TP2 with no real upgrade made" is good for you?

$500 was retail, not ebay. i agree. this is why i never made the jump to the tp2. couldn't justify the pricing in my mind for a phone thats almost the same.

In short words HELL F*CKIN YEA

Long Words:

$250 for a tp2(which oddly enough I sold my old touch pro for $250)

Which the phones are indeed very similar, but the tp2 has a way better battery life(from my experience at least)

And a much larger screen(due to the fact that I suffer from FFS(fat finger syndrome)

And the fact that I rely on my phone as much as I do my toughbook (for business and college), $250 is more then worth it for me.

And biggest factor is that I don't have to take apart my phone every week to fix the cable for my keyboard(yet)


And don't get me wrong, the touch pro is a great phone, but I've just had much better luck with my touch pro 2 so far.


Also, don't think I'm bias toward touch pro's because I have a newer phone, I still like the touch pro alot, I just have more features with the touch pro 2.

I was a bit torn. I had upgrade fever and looked at the Hero, the Moment and the HD2. I liked the Hero but it didn't have a physical KB. I like the Moment but it didn't have Sense, and I liked the TP2 but it was 199.00 after Rebate.
As it turned out, I couldn'd get the android phones without changing my plan (Powerpack with 3 phones and unlimited data addon - for a total of 73.00/month) to a plan that was going to cost me 30.00 more a month. Then the salesman sweetened the deal by knocking another 50.00 off the TP2 which brought it down to 149.00 AR. Sold my TP so my net "cost for a new TP is only about 15.00!

So, do i like the TP? Yes I do. I've read what others have said about the android and am glad I didn't upgrade, mainly beacuse I've invested $ in a lot of apps for my WinMo phone and they won't work onthe droid. Right, it is "hohum" at the moment but development will probably start to ramp up soon and you'll be able to get things like Sense on the moment. (if you can't already?)
Hopefully my TP2 will carry me through the next 2 years of grad school and I can reward myself with an android based phone or a new WinPhone phone. Who knows...phones change so much on almost a monthly basis.

see i couldn't justify it in my mind. i love my tp. love it so much that i don't hate it. works great for me. a custom rom and i get a full day out of my battery. i have had almost no real issues with it, kb always works, so for a bigger screen i couldn't find it to be worth it. if sprint so happened to trade me out at no cost i would jump for it but to pay? i couldn't do it.
