3. UI/OS (I've used WM for years....this is a pro and a con...something new might be nice).
4. Out-of-the-box funtionality (while the original TP seemed to need a lot of tweaking out-of-the-box, everything I've read/seen seems to indicate that the Pre works great out-of-the-box. Will the TP2 need heavy tweaking out-of-the-box?)
5. Tweakability (Obviously with different ROM's, etc., WM is insanely tweakable. Though I'm confident that over time the Pre will attain some measure of tweakable-ness I'm not sure what that time curve looks like).
6. Keyboard (I love having a hard keyboard...do I need a small one or a large one?)
7. Sound quality (more of a network issue...but from what I've read the Pre sounds good for calls, etc.).
8. Hardware buttons (while both phones offer a full QWERTY keyboard at least the TP2 has a couple more buttons on the face...not so with the Pre)
9. Third Party Software (obvioulsy WM/TP2 lead in this catagory...but for how long?)
10. Build quality (which slider wears out sooner? Which screen will crack sooner?)
11. Resistive vs. Capacitive....toss up.
Those are just a few thoughts off the top of my head...

this are just my opinions/thoughts on some of your items that made me prefer the pre. but this is just me.
no. 1 and no. 2 are one an the same for me. yeah the tp2 has a bigger screen but makes the phone that much bigger. i like to slide the phone in my pocket at times, especially when wearing shorts and a bigger phone seems more uncomfortable.
no. 3 - ive been using win mo also for a while. and really im tired of it. i know its highly customizable but ive been customizing it for the longest time to make it the way i like it. but am never satisfied. to tell you the truth i havent flashed a new rom in over two weeks because frankly im tired of it. i was even thinking of getting an iphone because i was tired of win mo.
no 6. - havent had a hardware keyboard since my ppc6700 (years ago). i did test it out for a few minutes and seemed a bit small but could type fine with it. would like an onscreen keyboard which im sure a software update will fix this or somebody will come up with one.
no 8. - i used the end button on my diamond to end calls all the time. will probably need to get used to the pre on this, but really dont care much about it.
