I also had a damged, cracked display on my Touch Pro 2 but, I had insurance on it and waited it out. I waited till the Trophy was released then callled them again. They offered me other phones but, I asked if I could have the Trophy (BTW, a lot cheaper phone $649.99 TP2 new, a new Trophy is $429.99). They gave it to me. I have a Trophy and still have my new every 2 $100 credit on my account.
I want a front camera device but, I'll wait to see what is released before signing a 2 year. Just because some new mango devices come out, it does not mean our carrier (Verizon) will get it. We know how Verizon is with Windows Phone 7.
I expect a larger display than the trophy (4-4.3"), 1.5ghz CPU (faster for gaming), better GPU (again, gaming), 4G (Verizon LTE would be a sweet option) then everything else from FM radio, DLNA to Wi-FI as I would expect from a modern cell phone and the specs expected from a WP7 device.
If I could, a slim line phone with a QWERTY keyboard, I still have problems typing on the screen.
We wait from here....

But, how much do you have to pay per month for that extra line ? I know on Verizon, it's $9.99 a month but, if it's a smart phone you have to add a data plan to that (yea, the extra phone), You could be talking another $40 a month to avoid paying retail for your phone($960 over a 2 year contract, or even at $10 a mo, your talking $240).
I guess if you need a 2nd phone that you can hand it down to for a family member who needed a phone anyway, it's not a big deal but, if not, I don't think its a great deal to do it that way.
