I love the magnetic stylus on the Diamond and how it turns it on.

No worries. The stylus on the TP2 also turns it on!

I feel like I stepped back to an over sized mogul.

After the first boot I could not turn it off or on from power button.

Pulled battery and that seems ok now.

Usually a good rule of thumb with any WM Smartphone is to turn it on, and then hard reset it immediately. THEN try to use it.

I have the screen protector on with PERFECT alignment but it keeps forming a bubble near the +/- button.

Yeah the screen protector out of the box is somewhat disappointing, there are plenty of better solutions out there.

Scrolling around flicking through pages randomly clicks item. I had all the HTC software off on my diamond and expected I'd have to shut it all off on this as well. But they never seem to get it right.

Remember this resistive screen technology, it doesnt work quite as well as a capacitive screen. There are tweaks that help with pressure sensitivity and responsiveness, just search for it.

Which HTC software is giving you issues?

IMO the TP2 is a stop gap device, much like Windows ME. There are no great leaps in technology, and not much of an upgrade in terms of "guts".

Thats probably your reason for buyers remorse!

All that being said, having both a Diamond and a TP, the TP2 has been the best phone I have owned thus far. Sprint and HTC are getting better at optimizing WM for their handsets. It has required the least amount of tweaking from me, and the screen is beautiful. I say give it a second chance. Try a hard reset, maybe the TP2 tweaks cab and see how it holds up.
