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in it yes it will work and run very well and it has a nice shiny new body and case to it but underneath its extremely outdated and underpowered and you was expecting much better again an EPIC FAIL (I love bimmers also) but hopefully you get my point

THe difference is there was nothing in the industry to compare it too, the tp2 in its time was the best even if it was behind in tech the industry set the standard and for keyboard wm device their was no other option or platform, android was in its infant stage at tp2 launch and the 3.7 screen was the industry's best for size. NOW wp7 pro has 3.6 (fail) and android is mature(another fail) (i still dislike android tho) an old chipset (fail) compared to the industry. The tp2 was behind at launch but it was the in the latest and greatest due to the industry arguments now for a device to launch in March behind all the other devices is behind the industry and behind the eight ball. At least they could have given it a 2nd gen snapdragon with 4" screen.
The biggest problem i see happening is if this device launches in March the EVO2 is suppose to launch late march early april and its rumored to have the third gen snapdragon with 1.2mhz and with Gingerbread.
Now i dislike android but im sure google and is paying attention to wp7 and gingerbread if not then honeycomb will probably have some wp7 like competitive apps if they decide to launch a evo2 pro say bye bye to wp7 pro competing.
IF the wp7 pro was launching in nov then an good argument could be made but a half year later is a waste of tech and resources but im sure it still will sell well to patsies. lmao
