A better comparison is an early 90s Lamborghini (Touch Pro) to a Acura NSX from the same era. Lambo can do amazing things but who knows when it will stop working for no reason, uncomfortable, loud and hot, only a true fan can put up with it's negatives. The NSX is slightly cheaper, slightly less performance, but it is so well made it just works, anyone can live with it day to day.

I think you're still off.. to stick with the car analogy:
I think the Iphone is like a saleen mustang.. sleek, sexy, and smooth. The very top of the line product offering in it's class... However, it's capabilities are fairly limited. If you want to carry more than a couple sets of golf clubs and a buddy, you're out of luck.
Meanwhile the TP is like a Ford F150 lightning.. Powerful, retooled for speed, able to compete with the mustang, but still ultimately a truck, and full of all of the usefulness of a pickup.
It really does depend on what you want out of a phone. If you're a web surfing media junkie, stick with the Iphone.. but if you need mobile office and a ton of aftermarket software, the HTC devices are the way to go.
