I'm looking into buying a Touch Pro2, but i have some questions.

Hi guys. I'm new here and this is my first post..

I'm looking into buying a new HTC Touch Pro 2. After reading its reviews, i seem to like it.. But now I have a lot of questions in mind..

So here they are:

1. I've read that there are 2 kinds of the Touch Pro 2?.. The GSM one and the CDMA one if i'm not mistaken? What's the difference between the two? and which one should I get?.. I'm from the Philippines by the way.

2. I might get one off ebay, so usually they are T-Mobile, Sprint, etc. versions. What makes these carrier versions different from the normal HTC one? are they GSM or CDMA? and there's no difference in terms of hardware if i'm not mistaken, just the software right? Am I right that they do not have a front camera?

3. If I get a T-Mobile or Sprint version, can i flash another ROM? I don't to use a carrier ROM. I like the one i see on the reviews on the net. Which one is that?

4. If I get a T-Mobile or Sprint version, do I have to do some unlocking to be able to use my sim card?

5. I know normally it comes with Windows Mobile 6.1. And i know it could be upgraded to 6.5. Would you guys recommend it? Is there an official HTC rom for WM6.5? and does WM6.5 still have TouchFLO3D?

6. Is there a certain version of the Touch Pro 2 I should avoid? something to do with the radio band? I'm afraid it might not work with our cellular networks here, or I may not be able to use it at all.

7. I've read that there are some TP2s that have a 3.5mm earphone jack, and I want one of those. I've read that the Sprint version has it. But then I've also read somewhere that the Sprint version needs some special method of unlocking to be able to use other sims?

I hope these things get cleared up in my head. Thanks in advance!
