Touch Pro 2 and Touch pro 3

So..Since i've been purchasing pocket pc i've been dedicated to the HTC brand. I do dislike the lack of innovation when it comes to the specifications of there phones. I believe that if they were to make a touch pro 3 and really make a true advancments from the touch pro2 and the touch pro i think it could be a really great phone. The touch pro2 was a good phone, the touch pro *sucked* But im wondering if there were to be a touch pro 3 what phone in specifcations would you like to see. Be innovated be immaginable but reasonable.

IT needs the Android OS

while its just speculation. alot of people are already expecting their next gen device to have >= HD2.
Personally, I'd like to se a tegra chip make it to their next WM device for sprint

4+ inch screen, capacitive
soft reset button (sprint)
1ghz+, snapdragon or better processor
more ram
digital tv tuner
am/fm radio (sprint)
5mp cam or better, with flash
stylus with pen shipped with nib
htc browser w flash support, java applets etc

brand new ferrari free with purchase....J/K

overall the TP2 is solid IMO
so far I/m liking the kb, tilting mechanism, overall the whole device....
I also loved my TP besides the kb and htc design flaws....

The Tegra chip is nice, and Tegra 2 is even nicer. I don't know what adoption rate has anything to do with how good it is. Besides, it's powering the Zune HD, so Microsoft miust think it's pretty decent

What's fail is Snapdragon. Sure, it's at the top of the heap, but all it is a beefed up version of its predecessor, even has similar graphics drivers issues like them as well. We do not need 1GHz processors in our phones. Once the Snapdragon Android devices come out, I'm sure you'll see lower clocked Cortex A8 CPUs holding their own against it

I would much rather have the Tegra 2 in my next phone. If not Tergra, than a nice shiny new Cortex-A9 MPCore. I'm sick and tired of Qualcomm

there is no other company stepping up to the plate to actually use any tegra in any device besides MS...yes there is a rumor nintendo will use it but outside of that and all of nvidias current problems it has yet to be the break through chip we all were praising.... the problem with the snapdragon isnt the drivers its HTC not using or asking Q for the right ones....

HTC is working with Tegra chips right now actually. Watch out for the Thoth (Athena2)

Also Samsung has some Tegra goodies in development as well.

In order of importance (to me):

- more ram
- digital tv tuner
- am/fm radio
- 5mp cam or better, with flash
- flash support, java applets for browser
- small trackball between zoom bar and bottom buttons; change the "windows" and "back" buttons to left/right mouse clicks.
- slightly better battery
- slightly bigger screen, capacitive
- soft reset button access without removing case
- better processor
- update HTC's task manager (quick menu); default setting = ON
- TV out directly through the 3.5mm plug (without the adapter)
- stylus with pen

However, this phone is already 1000% better than the original TP - I am pleasantly surprised so far. The above items are a wish list, not complaints.
