Like everyone on here, I am all in favor of having a larger screen but there are plenty of other things that HTC is avoiding by releasing this phone. It seems that HTC is more worried about pushing out the latest/greatest phone and is not putting any quality back into existing products.

I'm not even sure it's latest/greatest- From a somewhat lay perspective, full phone screens aren't that unheard of- I've gotten some comments on mine being 'small'. and since there is no new hardware, and the phones described have similar batteries I'm guessing the TP2's size increase is due to it's hinge?
I'm not going to be sticking with the TP line when it comes time to upgrade my phone, it looks like.. though that's a good time away, htc*might* redeem themselves with the next set of devices. or the next
I'm half tempted to suggest an internet-boycott campaign for these devices. I looked alot into the TP before i bought it-found reviews that were pretty positive, etc. Got it, found xda with their mammoth 'tp performance' thread, and it's only got worse. These phones are also getting a good bit of mostly positive press hype, what i've seen. Should try to point out that preformance will be
the same or worse, battery life,etc. Try to get htc to update their hardware.
Of course, an internet protest may have all the effect of a fart in a paper bag. It'd be nice to persuade people to go with the older phones, or to keep their current ones though.
