I'm saving up the $600 for a Pro but right now, my touch is going through a mid-life crisis. Has anyone even seen something better on the horizone that the TP?
Good topic

Buying a Pro is not an upgrade if you consider that you'll still be on the Windows Mobile 6.1 platform, which is an OS that is mainly put up with instead of enjoyed. The limited amount of info available re: Windows Mobile 7 shows little to get excited about and mimics a lot of Symbian and Mobile OS-X features. Nothing groundbreaking and definitely not worth the $$$ it takes to buy a device whose development is dedicated to that OS the way that the original iPhone was valued. Anyway, I believe the Touch by HTC has reached its full potential, but I also believe that the Touch Pro won't offer much in the long-term to expand upon WM6.1's limited upside, especially since it's only hardware. After you get past that, you realize that it's the continuous R&D behind the software and how that software makes use of a device that makes any device (HTC or not) worth paying for. I'm on the fence about sticking with WM devices, but the limitations of other OS's have enabled me to stay humble and stay put with my current device.
