However, the phone doesn't allow me to sync with work to get my corporate email since security policies can't be pushed down. I know that the HTC Touch Pro 2 does allow policies. 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 not had much experience with capacitive screens, but the few times I've played with capacitive devices, I make just as many typos & mis-taps. The only advantage of capacitive that I personally have noticed is that the screens are tempered glass which means they're much tougher & don't need screen protectors.
2. WM has WAY more apps than Android, they're just not all organized in a neat little app store. For WM- Google is your app store. And it is NOT That big of an inconvenience, I promise.
3. Others have already answered this one.
4. I have no issues with speed, and I even underclock mine. You may run into some slowdowns if you have like 10 apps running in the background though.
5. I won't lie- it has some meat on it's bones. It is a bit on the big side, but by no means too large for a pocket. I have a snap-on case on mine which makes it even bigger, and I can still carry it in the pockets of my semi-tight girl-jeans.
