Re: TP2 & TP1 Are The Same Spec Wise, Why Is The TP2 So Much Better?

Windows Mobile 7 and some Snapdrogon goodness? I hope so... Ive gone from a Mogul to a TP to a TP2. The step from Mogul to TP was huge. The step from TP to TP2 is not as noticeable in terms of performance but it is a better phone overall. Is it worth $200 is your current TP is working fine, probably not. I think of the TP2 as merely a revised TP with some minor fixes. I was not blown away by the change. The move from the current TP2 chipset to a Snapdragon or Tegra solution will be more drastic. Surprisingly, in this recent review of the HD2, it appears the aging Winmo6x is the real bottleneck limitation to performance even on faster chipsets.

WM6x is what sets these Pro/Pro 2 apart from the Android, Pre, and iphone. I am a WM fan, but MS really needs to step it up and get their stuff together for WinMo 7. Winmo 6x is REALLY showing its age. HTC has done a great job with TouchFlo and now Sense UI but there is only so much you can do with the aging OS.

HD2 should come to a few U.S. carriers (hopefully Sprint) in Q1-2 of 2010.

Well, it looks like we might be only a few months away from seeing this wish become reality. Already shipping in Europe and now in Taiwan, HTC announced on Wednesday that it plans to bring the HTC HD2 to the United States with a major carrier in early 2010.

Unfortunately, the company did not reveal which U.S. provider would have that honor, or any pricing information, but we should note that the smartphone will be available through T-Mobile UK on November 9 and TmoNews has spotted the smartphone mentioned in some leaked T-Mobile USA documents.
