Re: mogul to touch pro-- why?

I've loved having my Mogul, but there are a few things that automatically make me want to upgrade:

1) Screen is flush to the edge of the phone. The surrounding frame that the Mogul has always gets frustrating to me because majority of the time, I don't have a stylus (lost both of them) and have to try to scroll up and down using my finger on the side of the screen. I use the wheel and the circle d-pad, but those don't scroll as accurate as I need at times.

2) 1 cm shorter in length. Slightly slimmer. About the same depth. One of my main reservations getting a Mogul was the fact that I wanted a small phone (since I hate using hip holsters). I used to have a Samsung i500 (one of the first small PDA phones) and I loved the size and functionality. Unfortunately, the technology was very outdated and couldn't do certain things that I needed for work purposes. When I got the Mogul, I was surprised at how much smaller it was than I anticipated. Now, w/ the Touch Pro being even smaller...I think it may fit in exactly what I've wanted for a phone.

3) Video Out. What can I say about this that hasn't been said already. It's something I haven't seen from any other phone (although, I'm sure there are phones that may have this). From the preliminary pictures posted about it, it looks like it's limited in what it can be used for, but I hope that one way or another someone can figure out how to hack the system to allow the video out to view the Navigation!

4) New QWERTY keyboard with the extra row of number keys.

5) Touch Flo. I never installed the program that was made for the Mogul (for fear of completely messing up the phone), but this is something I'm not sure I'll like or not. But from the videos I've seen, I'll still be able to use the circle d-pad, which is fine with me.
