i have both, and im now replying to this post via the tp2. i wouldnt dream of doing the same on the hero. that being said, if one has an affinity for hardware keyboards (which may explain why one has a tp in the first place), then the tp2 is definitely the way to go. what convinced me to upgrade from the tp was mainly the screen size. that and the 'better' keyboard and speakerphone.

the hero is a nice device; and android...all gimmicks aside, definitely has much potential. but the fact that i can throw an .avi file or a .whatever file at one device and have it handle the task without a single hitch, while the other device has no foreseeable support for the same function...in my opinon, is a clear indication that one device is superior to the other in this regard (can we at least get vlc or mplayer support on android please? how long will it take to implement a linux based media player into a linux based 'mobile' OS?). plus, theres no 'real efficient' flash enabled brower like skyfire yet on the android platform, nor any 'real' voice guided navigation app such as tomtom,igo,garmin etc...which is, i reiterate, bountiful on WinMo. Am i the only one who thinks Android still has a lot of 'growing' up to do?

But, as i said...i guess it all boils down to user preference. And thats why im giving the hero to my meathead hubby, and keeping the tp2 for myself. lol.
