Touch Pro...Another dissapointment???

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it will disappoint, not even close, (here's to hoping it doesn't because I am anticipating this phone more than any other) but here are some thoughts...

I was either talking to someone or reading somewhere online, (don't remember where or I would link to it) and someone mentioned that the Mogul was essentially a WM5 device that had WM6 thrown on it. I thought about that statement for a minute and concluded that it made a lot of sense. We are constantly having memory issues with the device, other than that we love it.

When Vista came out many people bought it with 1GB (heaven forbid!!!) or 2 GB (like me) but really you want more memory than that, now they sell Vista machines with 4 GB. So, in comparison the Mogul is like a computer with Vista and 1GB of memory, which seems about accurate.

With the Touch Pro about to be released, with much more memory than we can imagine having (on our beloved Moguls), will it be enough? The phones should ship with WM6.1, but with WM7 right around the corner per engadget:

and with our carriers new found love for free upgrades (6.1 anybody?) will our new babies (Touch Pro) have enough memory or will we be still be left wanting?

It seems to me we could have the equivalent of buying an xp machine with 1 or 2GB of memory (thinking that was more than we could imagine) with a free upgrade to Vista as soon as it's released, only to find out that it is painfully inadequate. Could this be the case for us and our soon to be new friend the Touch Pro?

What are your thoughts???
