The wait for a next-gen processor from HTC has been pretty long,
but the upcoming HTC Qilin, with its TI OMAP3 3430 processor, should finally break the long dry spell.

It will be these new generation processors and the advanced software which supports them
which will be the final break between the boring Qualcomm MSM72xx chips we suffered for 3 years and the future of Windows Mobile.

How did that happen? This is the same phone as the upcoming Verizon Diamond2 aka the Whitestone. Here are the specs:

The first information has surfaced regarding the forthcoming Verizon variant of the HTC Diamond 2 known under the codename Whitestone.
The device is expected to feature the following specifications:
Windows Mobile 6.1, Qualcomm 7600 processor clocked at 528MHz with 512MB ROM/256MB RAM, 3.6-inch WVGA touchscreen display, 5.0 megapixel autofocus camera with image stabilization, aGPS support/GPS transceiver and GSM/EDGE support for international roaming.

That's the same CPU as the CDMA TP2

I can't wait that long. I'm working with a sanyo m1 and bb tour. So the tp2 is a must have for me.
