Touch Pro2 a stopgap?

I have been using this phone for about a month, coming from a Diamond on Sprint, and before that a Mogul. The Mogul to Diamond transition was huge and the improvements were many and throughout. After using the TP2 I just feel... underwhelmed. Im not impressed with it, for its progress over the last generation. It might as well be considered a half a generation leap that took a generation. We still have crap resistive screens, the same long in the tooth clunky qualcomm processors, and before you say anything, 6.5 is underwhelming as well. Needless to say, if it werent for my work requiring me to run this wm app, i would have switched to the Hero and Android. Hell the only bright spot in microsoft's mobile is the Zune HD which is just a glorious package. Think about it.. the wvga screen is the only real improvement from the past. The tilt had the tilting screen, the touch pro had the same amount of ram, rom, and processor. Its just half hearted... a stopgap. And i hope the HD2 isnt the future of their phone designs.. I guess what irks me the most is i knew it was a stopgap by its its name... yet they charged more money for this thing than any of their smartphones in the past. im just ed with it, but i have to live with it at least for another 6 months. If wm doesnt improve to 7 by then and we have another year of this crappy bondo upgrade, im writting them off completely. Any one else feel the same or am i just the exception?
