I totally disagree... The notion that the TP would steal thunder from the Pre is ridiculous... Sprint doesn't really care what phone their subscribers use, because the majority of their profit comes in the monthly contract, not in the phone sale. As such, they have no motivation to withhold a new phone because it "might" hurt sales of another phone. It's not like the TP2 is going to magically prevent someone who wants to move from Verizon to sprint for the Pre from doing that... Ultimately, waiting to release a phone makes it more likely that they'll LOSE customers, because I'll GUARANTEE there are some folks who leave sprint for T-mobile when they get sick of waiting for the TP2.
