Besides a bigger, tilting, WVGA screen (3.6 on the TP2 and 2.8 VGA on the TP) and a 1500 mah battery (which you can get for a Touch Pro from Seidio), there's really not much there that's worth spending the $350 on, and that's if you're qualified for an upgrade. Why get a new phone when the one you already have can do the same things as the new one? It's like going from a Ford Taurus to a Mercury Sable. They're the same car, but the Merc's got some woodgrain that makes it a little more fancy. For that much money, I want more than just a screen thats 4/5 of an inch bigger diagonally and an extra 12 minutes of talk time. No need to flame, just my two cents on that one.
Couldn't agree more.

If the TP2 had a Tegra (or even Snapdragon proc) inside and an OLED screen, then I'd probably be the first one in line to upgrade to one, but as it stands, I share your exact sentiments.

The larger screen is nice, but does not justify a $350/$425 upgrade fee from a TP, which is virtually identical specs wise.
