From my understanding, the T-Mo TP2 has a MSM7200 processor. The Sprint TP has an MSM7201A, and the TP2 will have a MSM7600, all running @ 528 Mhz. From my research, the 7600 is an older design than the 7201A, chosen for its ability to run a GSM radio alongside a CDMA radio, something the 7201A apparently cannot do. An unsubstantiated rumor I read said that the drivers (graphics, etc.) were more fully developed for the 7600, but given Qualcomm & HTC's track record in this area, I highly doubt it.

I'm also wondering how the TP2 can be faster if it uses an older processor (despite the fact that its model # is numerically higher) and it pushes around a bunch of extra pixels, 800x480 vs. the 640x480 of the TP.

Can anyone give me some insight into this mess? Thanks!

From all my Travels on the intertubes I have come to a conclusion about the CPU the Pro 2 has. First of all, yes its a 7600 that supports gsm. Second of all, it STILL lacks proper 3d accelaration. Its has been proven thru all the youtube videos for the telus and tmobile versions. Just find those vids on youtube and look at the part where some of the vids show tom tom or Igo running. It runs as choppy as our Pro 1. Only reason it feels faster is because the interface TF3d 2 has been optimized. Other than that...... 3d accelaration is nill.
