Yeah, I tried out a T-Mobile TP2 too, (just in store) a few days ago, and I was really not all that impressed either. If it was the same size with the wvga screen, then I *might* consider it, but its fn HUGE! My TP sits quite nicely alongside my wallet in my pocket, as they are both about the same thickness, so it lays flush with it, and is *just* wide enough to fit in very nicely. Whereas the TP2's width makes that completely impossible, and its just as thick as the TP1 so stacking it behind the wallet makes for a rather big bulge in the pocket, not to mention the rather large increase in length as well.
If anyone is wondering, (as I was) the T-Mob store allowed me to install sktools on their demo so I could use its benchmark utility to see just how much of a difference there *really* was in the hardware, since the cpu is essentially the same, but a newer model.
I ran the tests on both my TP and the TP2 concurrently, and there was very little difference, most were within a few % points of each other, there were two tests where the TP2 did stand out somewhat however, the TP2 did a noticeable bit better in the graphics test, and internal storage memory test. Unfortunately, I didn't think to write down the results for later. If I get the chance, maybe I will run the tests again, so I can post them for you guys.
I was running Juicy8 090723 on my device.
Also, my device was running off the battery of course, whereas the demo model was powered through its security tether. I don't know if the TP throttles down when on battery (doesn't seem to) but if it does, that would of course have made for inaccurate comparison.
