Therefore, I am considering making a change. However, there are a few things holding me back which I need your advice:
1. Resistive versus Capacitive screen. the Hero has the capactive while the HTC Touch Pro2 has the resistive. Does this difference make a big deal to anybody? What am I loosing or gaining?
2. Windows Mobile versus Android. The Android market has a lot more applications that WM. Do you think that the WM market will catch on?
3. Windows Mobile 7. Will the HTC Touch Pro2 be able to update to WM 7?
4. Speed. I have heard that the HTC Touch PRO2 is slow. Can anybody confirm or deny this?
5. Size. I heard that the device is rather large. Does anybody have problems carrying the phone around in their pocket?
I would be most greatful if I could get your opinion.
Thanks,
Lance

1.) I have no issues with a resistive screen from the 6800 to the TP to the TP2. Others seem to like the capacitive screen more though. *shrug*
2.) No - I don't see any spike in development coming for a platform that's been around for a long time. Android has a lot of hype and momentum behind it - WM not so much
3.)No - due to hardware requirements
4.) The TP2 is not slow compared to any other WM handset I've used. I've been pleasantly surprised by both the speed and battery life.
5.) I carry it in my pocket at all times - belt cases are just too cumbersome for me and I don't have any issues getting it in or out.
