Please leave feed back and your opinion on the message I wrote to HTC!

HTC,

Htc 7 Pro

I would like to know the big difference between the Htc Touch Pro 2 and the new Htc 7 Pro, which is heading to sprint next year, and how does the Htc 7 Pro compare to the Samsung Epic 4G? I have also added a conclusion that people would like to see you take into consideration. It is just a small favor for the small upgrade to what suppose to be the successor to the touch Pro 2.

In conclusion, The Htc touch pro 3 (aka) Htc 7 Pro, which suppose to be more of a business phone, should have a frontward facing camera, at least a micro sd memory card reader for those of us who already have a 16gig micro sd memory card, at least a 4.0 inch screen, and run on the 4G network. I will not mention that the Bluetooth and USB use old technology on the Htc 7 Pro when the new Bluetooth and USB upgraded technology is available. Asking for mobile hotspot and a 1.5 dual core processor would be asking for too much. Most importantly Htc, how does the Htc 7 Pro compare to the Samsung Epic 4G besides the OS?! For those who would like to see the specs of the Samsung Epic 4G with Sprint copy and paste the link in the address bar. Samsung Epic 4G specs (Phone Arena) and Sprint - Define Region
Notice the full five-row keyboard and big 4-inch screen with a frontward facing camera for video conference. Most importantly check out the specs! So what is the difference between the Htc touch Pro 2 and Htc 7 Pro, and how does it compare to the Samsung Epic 4G?!

Now I hope you take no offense to this post but to me this post to HTC did seem a bit....well...silly. You made the TP2 seem old with its outdated specs when you posted them side by side with a 7Pro. Obvious TP2 Weaknesses are Resistive touch screen, 3.2 MP camera(No Hardware button or flash), 528 MHz Processor, Less Battery life with Same Size battery, Less RAM, No 802.11n support, I could go on.

And saying how does the 7Pro compare to the Epic?
HTC 7 Pro, Samsung Epic 4G compare results (Phone Arena)
Using the same site you referenced for specs and doing a compare on over 20+ Features I can only find 7 Major Differences with Epic having an overall advantage by 1!

*4g = Epic
Global Roaming = 7Pro
Bigger Screen = Epic
Tilting Screen = 7Pro
Front Faceing Camera = Epic
FM Radio = 7Pro
*Memory = Epic

* Subject to Location if you dont live in These ---> 4G:List of current or announced 4G/WiMAX... Markets then they could be considered even. And memory could also be subject as rumors go around saying Sprint may increase 7Pro memory to 16GB and since the epic doesnt have nearly any internal memory if your memory is less than 32GB(expesive since the phone is 250 w/ 2year contract) then your advantage isnt really present.

Im not saying that emailing/posting to them about bettery features is a bad idea but showing them the obviously old version of teh phone then comparing to another phone with VERY similar features and specs isnt really the best thing once compared. Just sending an email with more updated specs would have been more potent to me not taking into the account for cost of the material and pricing tech. Im not going to message Toyota stating how does the Camery compare to the Honda Civic.

Just my thoughts again no offense.

Now other features..

CPU=Epic
GPU=Epic
Super AMOLED=Epic
6 axis accelerometer=Epic
ROM=Epic

And roses are red and violets are blue... I'll be very surprised if you don't just get brussed off by HTC or receive a form letter.
You compare apples to oranges and the bottom line is that the 7 Pro is as is and so is EVERY other phone out there. You can spend months comparing phones and it's not going to go anywhere.

You can argue that the 7 pro is more pocketable than the Epic.
That it has a better speaker system
That it...

It's still a different phone and again as such will have diferences to any other phone... That's the beauty... Don't you get it... We don't all have to be clones holding some stupid phone that only differs from othe phones by the color skin you put on it (iphone).

your right wp7 is no winmo... but super AMOLED are not all that super and white kills the battery(yes one of wp7s theams is all most all back) and the cpu is not better in the epic they are about the same or uper hand to tp7 but the gpu is

think you need to use a super amolded device and epic hummingbird will beat what pro7 has to offer.

guess wp7 likes super amolded too?
