I am very excited with these new phones even though I already have Diamond. why? bigger screen!!! when comparing with the iphone, the only big disadvantage of diamond is its much smaller screen. browsing full hmtl, reading email are so much better with bigger screen. iphone made it right the first time with their 3.5" screen.
with the current hardward, it is not a bottle neck. why need 1Ghz cpu when you are not even fully utilizing the 528Mhz cpu? we are not gonna play Quake 3 game on this phone, aren't we? the browser, gps, phone, and email work great with the current hardware/Ram/ROM. why upgrade more hardware than you need? we are going to upgrade phones every 2 years anyway, why waste money on hardware that you are not going to use over 2 years?
trust me. I built my own PC with quad core, and I am not even using half of its power. why waste the money on a powerfull cpu? by the time you need more power, there are something else better coming.
I going to get TP2 for its 3.6" screen. keyboard, microsd card are the bonus. I think HTP made the right decision with bigger screen and same hardware spec. This will make HTC phones closer to the iphone.

You say it is not about processing speed but my Touch Pro lags while I am playing bejeweled. If we really want to see some of the development that the iphone is getting there were 2 things that we needed. An app store and 3d acceleration. We have one and apparently we will have to wait to get the other, or at least from HTC.
The fact is, no more RAM, no different processor= same performance. I am not ponying up $500 for a bigger screen. If it had snapdragon or tegra with a 5 mp camera I would start saving now, but with this crap I will wait until the successor to these or for another windows mobile device if a better one were to drop on Sprint (looks at Omnia HD.)
