A larger screen is the only improvement of the device that I've read about (the rest of the hardware is basically identical, even down to the camera - but without the flash) - all the other hoopla is over TF3D, and we've had that port available for a couple of months now. I'll happily keep my TP, tyvm.

To play devil's advocate, it's not just the larger screen. The screen tilts, some feel the button layout's better, improved keyboard, reviews suggest the camera actually IS better despite no increase in megapixels (although I also lament the loss of a flash), the speakerphone makes the current one seem even MORE pathetic than we already knew it was, it has GSM for international use, it has improved battery life, and apparently it no longer melts into a puddle of goo when you dare talk on it while it charges. These honestly ARE all good reasons to want one, and if I had JUST bought the current model only to learn now that the new one exists and is on the way, I might be a little upset. But these are people who clearly know how to use the 'net and are on this board, so they can't claim that level of ignorance. They didn't do their research, and they have nobody to blame for the fact that their phone's already almost out of date.
I bought mine two days before its release date, so I have absolutely NOTHING to complain about and can judge with no timeframe bias whether it's worth upgrading to. And as of right now, I'm not sure it'll be worth the $250 or so come this November when I can upgrade again. I'll miss the flash, the other stuff is really nice but not a deal breaker, and I'm so used to WM 6.5 that having to step down to 6.1 until it gets cracked might drive me crazy. I'll either see if I'm lucky enough to talk them into upgrading me when I get my current one repaired, or I'll wait for a Tegra/Seadragon-based phone to come out.
