I'm happy to say that my Touch Pro 2 is my favorite so far.

But here's my qualm. I bought this sweet phone thinking there was going to be some sort of upgrade ability. I know realistically that would never happen, but I had to hope right?

It seems as though all of the phones that started releasing after my beloved TP2, are all FAR superior. Not just a little bit better, but insurmountably better. Between capacitive touch screens, bigger screen sizes, faster processors, more ram, graphics chips that are being developed for phones. The Touch Pro 2 seems like the last of its kind. That's very disappointing to me in the fact that a lot of people spent a good amount of money on this thing only to be laughed at later when much much better phones are being developed just weeks later.

Maybe I'm jaded; maybe I'm just a little disappointed in the fact that I have such a sweet phone, which in comparison to all of the newer phones that are coming out just months later isn't all that sweet.

What does everyone think? I know some of you are switching devices when new phones come out, but did we get screwed by an underpowered device?

Probably because they tried to pump out a "fix" to all the problems and complaints of the TP1 so fast, the next true generation of phones was ignored. My take is this: Yes, the TP2 is the last of its kind. But is it truly worth it to run and buy a Nexus One (or pick a new phone)? No. My reasoning is because 1.5Ghz cpus coupled with 4G are right around the corner, a year away tops. I'm not dumping 4, 5 or 600 dollars into another 3G phone with a snapdragon, just to be "laughed at" by a 1.5Ghz 4G 4.3" AMOLED screen phone a month later. I am waiting for 4G, and I suggest peeps with the TP2 do the same. Don't cheat yourselves! Sprint is the clear leader in 4G rollout, but all carriers are rapidly getting there. I thought I NEEDED an HD2, but really- by the time it reaches the states it'll be a dinosaur replaced by the 4G Touch Pro 3... just my .02
