Kilgore,

I had the TP2 for about a month and switched to the Imagio just last week. The difference for me has been mainly in the software. While the TP2 has the keyboard, if you didn't want to use it, you could rotate the phone and use the on-screen keyboard, which kinda defeated the purpose of having a hardware keyboard, but was pretty cool anyway.

However, this is just one instance where the Imagio falls short. Since there's no keyboard, you'd think you could rotate the device and it would provide a full screen qwerty, but on most screens (like 80%) you get no screen rotation at all, which is very frustrating. I found that, while it has the newer WM 6.5, it has an older version of TF3D, which doesn't support as many rotation screens as the version on the TP2.

Physically, the Imagio feels way better in the pocket, and is much lighter, but there are a few things I really miss from the TP2. I really like the stylus on the right as I'm right handed and could use my free hand to take it out. I also loved the screen on/off button on the top left, nowhere on the Imagio. Visually, the back of the TP2 was way cooler, has a light for the speaker phone, and was way easier to take the cover off should you need to reset the device. Not so on the Imagio.

Hope this helps with you're decision making, I'm kinda thinking of switching back WM 6.1 and all (6.5 really has nothing new), but the sheer physical size has kept me at bay. I'll get used to the slimmer, lighter Imagio.
