They change only a couple things which does not really increase their cost by much and people go crazy over a new phone and go out and spend tons of money. Nothing wrong with that, like I said just smart business.
I disagree. I think the iPhone upgrade was HUGE if you are a businessman and need cut and paste, or even video. Yes, some of us businessmen need the ability to take a video of a physical problem on a property, perhaps the "noise" such problem makes as well, email it to the owner or whoever, and get a quick reply. The jump in the iPhone was HUGE for people like me.

Other than the screen size and keyboard size. I really didnt see anything to go ooooooo about.... It actually had a cheap plastic feel to it...... But for real, other than the screen and keyboard, it didnt fly like everyone is claming... And reports ive read are battery is mainly only improved when not using it much.....

Once again, ill get one just cause my favorite cook has one and this is my hobby, but the money for it will make me cringe, i feel like im paying for only a screen....

well, there is my take on it... Maybe sprint will surprise us with 6.5 and itll atleast feel like im not going in reverse, or as soon as hspl is here.
and nothing i read makes me think its so great... Except lilrico saying the tp1 is a pos lol just saying, i wanna be wooooed.lol

actually the speakers wooed me... that is 100 times better...
Nothing like quoting yourself .

Actually, that's saying a lot. The TP1 was in many ways better than the Mogul, but in a few ways a step backwards (loss of buttons, loss of IR, for example). And to a small extent, the TP2 will lose a few buttons, so there is that step backwards. However, that is clearly the way things are going, so we will have to adapt (especially those coming from a Mogul, etc.)

I think the reason is clear, and it's not just the iPhone influence. It's the fact that the Mogul has 21 buttons (counting the D-pad as 5, and the scroll wheel as 2, since you can press it in as an Enter key). If ANY ONE of those 21 buttons goes bad, what happens? You swap it out on insurance or TEP. That led to a huge number of returns for a single or few buttons going bad, even though there was other ways to get to the same features/functions.

So they decided to just give us less ways to get to the features/functions by taking the most problematic (for them) way, for us to get to things, away from us, and giving us the iPhone-similar ICI (Interactive Cartoon Interface) and some actual improvements in memory, resolution, etc.
