So I'm wondering why there are not threads in the other WP7 device forums saying the same things about those devices that are being said here?

In fact, there doesn't seem to be any discussion in any of the other forums. Is it because everyone on here has Sprint?
No its because most of us have tp2 or has had tp2's and seeing a device that is a tp2.5 is a waste of development time. Secondly you say a few months, LMAO march is more like a half year after launch which is alot. How long do you expect a chipset lifetime to be 12 months tops (not in my book but this is industry standards) the hd2 launch oct-nov of 2009 all these wp7 devices are launching oct-nov of 2010 with the exception of the wp7 pro. These devices are at the end of a chipset lifecycle the wp7 pro is in rigamortis by march 2011, I would not bash it if it was a good attempt at a successor to a tp2 but this is more of a tp2.5 that will be mass marketed to common people with no tech knowledge. This device is an EPIC FAIL its like buying a 2012 M5 with a 1997 528i engine in it yes it will work and run very well and it has a nice shiny new body and case to it but underneath its extremely outdated and underpowered and you was expecting much better again an EPIC FAIL (I love bimmers also) but hopefully you get my point
