Touch Sense is waaaaaaay smoother and more stable than Touch Flo...touch flow was cool at first then it got boring...but I agree with above post...I had to reboot my phone like 5x a day because it would get the "sleep of death" on me. That was the WORST!!!!! And that didn't start happening until I upg to WM 6.5....I never had problems with 6.1

I still three tp2 in my desk drawer just incase I need to travel over seas as tp2 can be on both CDMA and GSM. The only thing that I missed from tp2 is the speaker phone. Everything that I had in tp2, I have them on my Evo also. However, Evo is much more superior in performance. It is harder to customize Sense in Android compares to WMo but there are developers providing all toys. You will have to walk around with one in your hand to understand it. The next version of 3D sounds tempted, but I feel that the phone is only as good as if it has a strong developement community behind it. Evo has the best developers behind it

I got the TP2 and EVO on launch day also. Loved the TP2 and didn't mind WinMo at all other than the lagginess with 6.5. The sleep of death seemed to depend on which ROM I was running. I still miss my hardware keyboard but enjoy the EVO much better. I'm still torn at times on my next upgrade. The thin form factor of a touch screen only vs a slider.....

It's mostly my own fault by not watching the pop up letter as i type instead of waiting til after i've typed a word and accepted it before realizing it's "knapsack" instead of "lmao'...

I like android 10x better than WM 6.5 but wouldn't mind giving WP7 a trial run. I'm not a die hard for any platform...

Went from Tp2 to Evo, i must say at first i hated android. But the Evo's is nice. WAY faster. I would still like to see a WM7 phone with 4g....If they ported it to evo id have my dream phone.

I loved my Touch Pro 2, absolutely loved it. But come on, the Evo is way better. I bought the Evo on launch day because of the awesome specs (front camera for video chat, 4G, large screen, snapdragon, etc).

Here is what I miss about my Touch Pro 2 (and the many WinMo phones I owned before the Touch Pro 2):
The keyboard. Everyone will tell you the touch screen keyboard is just as good. It isn't. There is just no comparison when you type out a long email or a document or even a post on a message board. The touch screen keyboard will get you by if you are typing out a quick text message or something, but it isn't even close if you are typing a full page document.

Office. Speaking of typing documents, there is no app that compares to the office suite on WinMo devices. I used to make all kinds of notes, memos, documents, etc, on my Touch Pro 2. Half of them won't even open on my Evo, no matter what office app I try to use. They just open as a bunch of symbols and unreadable garbage. Even some documents I make on my laptop using open office won't open on my Evo. It is definitely missed.

Having said that, both of those things will get you by on the Evo. No, they aren't as good as it was on the Touch Pro 2, but they will still get you by. You can absolutely type out a document on the Evo, especially with Swype. The Swype keyboard works, and there are plenty of office suites that will allow you to type out a word doc. It's not as good as the Touch Pro 2 in those aspects, but it still works.

Other than that though, the Evo completely blows the Touch Pro 2 out of the water. It has way better web browsing, with flash and everything. Web browsing is as good as it is on my laptop. The Dolphin HD browser owns, and I mean OWNS any browser on the Touch Pro 2. It's like using Chrome browser on my laptop. The 4G makes web browsing as fast as it is on a wifi connected laptop too. Plus you can talk on the phone while you are on the internet. The video chat is awesome too. And then you have the speed of the device which is way faster than the Touch Pro 2. And the apps, man there is an app for just about everything you could ever want, and most of them are free. The Android market owns. You can find an app, download and install it right there (which is even faster over 4G), and set the app to automatically update. It's awesome. And the screen is way more touch sensitive, with a way more finger friendly OS. Not only is the device way faster, but the way you use it and the way you interface with it is way faster and better.

I would never go back to my Touch Pro 2. Mine has been collecting dust ever since I got my Evo. I would probably hold out for the Evo 3D if I was thinking about getting a new phone right now (rumors say it will be available for preorder on 4-11-11) but I can't imagine anyone getting an Evo and then going back to a Touch Pro 2. I know I would not even consider going back to a Touch Pro 2 for even 1 second. There are a couple things that the Touch Pro 2 does better (keyboard and office) but the Evo still does them good enough. However, there are many, many things the Evo does better, and several things the Evo does that the Touch Pro 2 doesn't do at all. It's not even a close comparison.
