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.
That's what I was afraid of. I have no need of TF2D, 3D, 3D2, or any variant. I like the standard WinMo (5.0-6.1) Today screen. When I turn it off/cook it out with a custom ROM - The perceived performance benefits will vanish. (Even though it *should* be faster because the standard Today screen is much less graphically complex and much less processor intensive than TF3D, plus TF3D sucks up a fair chunk of RAM.)

Damn it HTC! Why do you make such nice phones and then cripple them with a lack of drivers?

I'll still get the TP2 for its bigger screen (hooray death of the useless d-pad, which HTC slowly made less and less usable), much more usable keyboard, and tilt feature. I was going to say that the 3.5mm jack was nice, but I have an HTC remote on the way that plugs into the USB port, has a long cord, and ends in a small remote with a mic, call send & end buttons, track next/prev (also ff/rewind), volume up/down buttons, and as the icing on the cake, it has a plug for any 3.5mm headphones you want to use. Oh yes, and it has a clothes clip. This remote will let me do calls and music (and voice control too) from one unit, so in my mind it's much better than a separate 3.5mm jack that only does audio out.
