the $125 price tag for a Touch Pro 2 that should just seal the deal.The Touch Pro 2 does have threaded or classic text msgs. it also has a tv out option.but does require a cable. and u wil nevr find a HD2 FOR $125,at least not for a long time. plus u can just flash a 6.5.3 rom with sense 2.5.i honestly like my TP2 just as much if not more than my girls Motorola Android. Plus they have a working bootscreen for the TP2 to choose between Windows Mobile 6.5 or Android operating system. Now the android part of the operating system is still a work in progress.but they are making good progress.but wont that be cool when our TP2s will b able to run Windows Mobile 6.5 or Android. Id get the Touch Pro 2. I use the GPS on my T.Pro2 with regular Google Maps,Bing or MSN maps with no problems.and if i run Quick GPS then run the HTC GPS Tool til it gets about 6-12 satellites locked,about 60 seconds,then when i go to google maps it only takes about 1-3 seconds to get a solid GPS lock and holds strong even when i go indoors.It gets the fastest GPS lock of anyphone ive ever had.Plus all the customizations,themes,apps,and programs available for the TP2.i was on the fence like u but i got the touch Pro 2 and never looked back.In my book it is by far one of the best PPC phones out. and ive had a Palm Pre, Palm Pixi,(hated those phones)my girls Motorola Android, and the htc phones are simply the best.My favorite so far is the TP2.hell if u dont buy it for $125 then let me buy it. ill pay $125 right now.i wouldnt pass that up.even if u dont like u could always sell it for more.
