I have always had to have a hardware keyboard since the HTC Apache (XV6700), and the TP2 keyboard is by far the best hardware keyboard I've seen around. If the HD2 had a hardware keyboard, then I'd be all about it, but I think I just may suck it up and ditch the keyboard for a test run on the HD2. But I really love the hardware keyboard. Love it!! Damn...
Another thing, I hope the camera issue gets worked out. I'm tired of having lesser quality cameras with new phones. Also, I hear the speakerphone isn't very good. The TP2 speakerphone is amazing. And what is the internal memory of the HD2? When will HTC bring out AMOLED screens? I'm glad to see they kept the 3.5mm and have switched to the new standard plug - MicroUSB.
So far, it seems the main features over the TP2 are:
- bigger screen (awesome)
- dual LED flash (dual, people - super awesome!!)
- capacitive screen (I like the precision of the resistive touch, but look forward to multi-touch. A tradeoff I suppose)
- 2x processing power (oh baby!)
- digital compass (that's cool)
Such an advanced phone should have:
4G support? (4G will be available next year in US, although Sprint started early in select cities).
USB 3.0?
Stronger battery - 1230 mAh battery is weaksauce!
512mb of ROM is better, but still kinda low. Still limits programs (although it would take some time to fill it up).
Will my texts & e-mails slow down my phone?
AMOLED screen
I hope the recording feature of the camera is much better than past HTC phones. Its always been lousy.
All in all, I guess I might just stick with the TP2 until something more advanced comes out. Seems like this is a small step in the right direction. Don't get me wrong, HTC does tend to release newer, nicer phones often, but it would be nice if there was a super phone will all the bells and whistles. Shoot, we're already buying $600 phones, I'd think $1,000 would be reasonable for a phone with all the features I listed above. (Assuming the phone came out now, not 2 years from now).
