It seems most people are either moving over from the Mogul or the Diamond. I haven't seen a lot of discussion from former Vogue users as to how it compares to that. I am really on the fence as to whether I want to jump on the Pro from my Vogue, which still works pretty well for me, or skip it for the next generation.

I would love the higher screen resolution -- no debate about that point. TouchFlo3D seems like it's pretty nice, too. I like the original TouchFlo pretty well though. It'd be nice (but not vital) to get a keyboard back, but I've really been fond of the thin profile of the Touch Vogue. I know the Pro may not be that much thicker and that it (along with the Diamond) are much narrower, but the thinness of the Vogue is great. I would consider the Diamond as well, but I'm worried about the heat problems at this point. I've had phones that get hot before and did not like it. The Vogue stays pretty reasonable. I've heard mixed reports on the Pro's temp.

The big issue though is whether it really is worth the cost, both in terms of cash now and the delayed opportunity for future upgrade discounts. The Touch HD sounds very cool. While I've heard conflicting reports as to whether we'll see a Sprint version, the comment from HTC leads me to think that if we don't, it'll just be because HTC's working on something even better. Plus there's Windows Mobile 7 coming next year sometime, right? The Pro seems like a big upgrade from the Mogul (which I had briefly before the Vogue). But I just don't know if either the Diamond or the Pro is a worthwhile upgrade from the Vogue given the new devices that may come in the next year.

Any thoughts on these questions or any other comments from people who've jumped to the pro from the Vogue?
