As with anything, time will tell.

ummm, NO! the TP2 is in no sense of the word, Flagship at this point... Phones dont keep their "status" for shelf life... Flagship means Sprint is Pushing to the Masses and the device is Sprints FOCUS at the time..... thats SO not whats going on with the TP2 anymore(Most stores dont even carry it anymore, its rare.. Telesales, Sprint.com/other online ventures, and 3rd party are only way to get them)..
Sprints last several Flagship Devices:
Samsung Instinct(June 20th 0
- was Flagshipped over the TP1(Nov 2nd 200
Palm Pre(June 6th 09) - was Flagshipped over the TP2(Sept 6th 09)
HTC Hero(Oct 11th 09)(Sprints 1st Android device) - also Flagshipped over the Tp2(Sept 6th 09)
Htc EVO(June 6th 2010) - Flagshipped - for good reason
Samsung EPIC - Is this actually a flagship device or just another great device Sprint happens to have????????????????
HTC Pro 7(once Launched)
Millions of dollars were spent in Ad campaigns for the device listed above... NOT the TP1 or TP2.. yes they had commercials, but thats about it.. Sprint never tried like hell to get people in the TP series... hell, the Vogue(Touch) was pushed harder than TP1/2's..
the TP2 will probably never be EOL'd by SPrint.. Discountinued and EOL'd are 2 totally different things.. EOL means End of Life - meaning the device will not be made, sold, replaced, etc... Discontinued devices are still readily available by some 3rd party Retailers, And/or replaced by Asurion... ie The Mogul.. discontinued for years now, still can get replacements from Asurion though - therefore not EOL... and TP2 doesnt hit 2years till Sept 6th 2011..
