Ok so after having serious amounts of testing, researching, installing and uninstalling I found many things that work great, not so great or can't figure out. I kept all my games and apps that I had from my previous HTC Diamond just incase some of them were useful on the Pro 2. Here's my findings:

Essential Apps that I recommend:
- Advanced Config (tweak tool)
- Comic Reader Mobile
- Facebook app for Windows Mobile (works in WVGA)
- HD Tweak (designed for the Touch HD but is almost identical so 95% of the tweaks work and work very well. Plus it includes an app to soft reset your device with one touch)
- Opera Mobile 9.7 beta (incase you have web pages that you want to be able to open super quickly. Yes the new beta is MUCH quicker that the pre-installed one, especially with Turbo enabled.
- PIM Backup (used to backup your text msgs, call history and more if you choose. I was even able to restore all my data from my Diamond on to my TP2)
- Pocket RAR
- Regedit
- Resco File Explorer
- SPB Radio
- TaskMgr (to end apps that don't really close when hitting the "X"
- TCPMP for playing avi files a little better
- Cab files to change the colors of the SMS and Email notification bubbles

Games that work great:
- Arcade Park (fullscreen WVGA)
- Atomic Cannon (fullscreen WVGA)
- Bejeweled 2 WVGA (fullscreen)
- Boom Blox (fullscreen WVGA)
- Mini Putt 2 (fullscreen WVGA)
- Monopoly - Here and Now (fullscreen WVGA)
- Morphgear (however some bugs with assigning keyboard instead of touchscreen and needed a WVGA virtual keyboard skin for it)
- NBA Pro Basketball 2009 (only VGA but decent game)
- Pocket Bowling (only VGA but can't find a better bowling game)
- Resco Bubbles (fullscreen WVGA)
- Shoot Me! (not really a game but fun to use, it uses the accelerometer)
- Spiderman - Toxic City (fullscreen WVGA)
- Spore - (fullscreen WVGA but seems to run laggy for some reason)
- Trivial Pursuit (but is VGA)

Things I wish I could figure out:
- Why Opera Mobile crashes no matter what when loading the websites "Pocketnow.com" or "WMPoweruser.com"
- How to use keyboard keys when using Morphgear.
- Why I cannot add a shortcut of the Games folder to the new Start menu. Add when I do it gives an error msg when trying to open it.
- Why I can install the cab file for the FM Radio (since it's missing from the TP2). get it to open and works fine except no stations are picked up at all. Assuming the TP2 is missing something else to make it operate.
- Why it gives messages that it can't charge well with a USB plugged into my PC and have to use the wall charger to charge instead
- Why closing Opera doesn't really close it but only minimizes it. And it doesn't even show up as running in the background even though it is
- Why I cannot create more than 2 open tabs on Opera (Answered!)
- Why avi files are so choppy. However converting movies to MP4 plays them perfectly.

If anyone else has any recommended programs/games that work great too please feel free to share. Or if you came across any work arounds for some of the above problems!
