So why do I feel like I bought the last of the Mohicans

[skuddy]

Let me start out by saying, I absolutely love my Touch Pro 2. I do, its my favorite device to date. Ive owned a few smart phones in my time, a few feature phones. Ranging from Moto Q/Q9c, ATT Tilt, Mogul, Touch Pro, iPhone 2g, iPhone 3g, Blackberry Curve, Blackberry World Edition, Blackberry Tour, Blackberry Curve 2. Ive run through the gambit. I'm happy to say that my Touch Pro 2 is my favorite so far.

But here's my qualm. I bought this sweet phone thinking there was going to be some sort of upgrade ability. I know realistically that would never happen, but I had to hope right?

It seems as though all of the phones that started releasing after my beloved TP2, are all FAR superior. Not just a little bit better, but insurmountably better. Between capacitive touch screens, bigger screen sizes, faster processors, more ram, graphics chips that are being developed for phones. The Touch Pro 2 seems like the last of its kind. That's very disappointing to me in the fact that a lot of people spent a good amount of money on this thing only to be laughed at later when much much better phones are being developed just weeks later.

Maybe I'm jaded; maybe I'm just a little disappointed in the fact that I have such a sweet phone, which in comparison to all of the newer phones that are coming out just months later isn't all that sweet.

What does everyone think? I know some of you are switching devices when new phones come out, but did we get screwed by an underpowered device?

HTC NEEDS to make Windows 7 able to be downloaded and ran on the TP2 after MANY of us spent $600+ on them.

I have bought the 6700, 6800, Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2 ALL FOR FULL RETAIL.
Add up that amount and I'm above $2,000.
If HTC doesn't make WM7 a download option for my Sprint TP2,
I will NEVER give HTC any more of my money.

Yes you will lol. We all do. They still make the best phones. If you came all the way up from the 6700, you have told yourself the same thing everytime, right before you upgraded. heh =]

ha come on, you didn't realize the tp2 was at the end of the last generation of hardware? it has a 528mhz processor, just like our phones have had for the last two years... you should've realized when you started seeing devices like the omnia ii in europe come out with 800mhz (which came out before the tp2 hit here).

it's still a great device and the best winmo device with a kb for sure (and best kb for all phones). i bought it knowing it was going to be surpassed very soon because i like cycling through phones once a year anyway. best winmo phone to date in the US, so can you really blame it?

DITTO.. and im sure (even though i love this phone, for now) I will HATE the tp2 as much as i have hated the Apache, Mogul and TP1.. but its the initial infatuation with all these phones that will keep bringing me back.. kinda like a SMOKIN HOT girlfriend, but has an annoying a$$ voice.

Heh. Would be nice, but will never happen. WinMo 7 requires a 1 GHz processor (which we don't have)

Its not HTC, its the carriers, they dont want to change their stuff to run it properly, thats why they keep dumming down phones

Yo thats everything bro...as soon as you think you got the hottest chick you could ever hope to get another badder chick walks in the room at looks right at you. The TP2 is upgradable and is way more customizable than most smart phones out there. Be happy about the customization. Yes the TP2 doesnt have snapdragon...so what. Just know that the next phone you get will be running a 2.5 ghz processor with windows 7 OS onboard...these phones are getting better and better because desktops and 17 inch laptops are on the way out...Everyone will have a netbook or a smart phone. With 16 nm processing on the horizon and usb 3.0, the phones that come out later this year will cruch the HD2, Nexus one...all of them. So know that for now you have one of the best phones of 2009 and re-up circa 2011...You'll be alright.

As well a month after winmo 7 is put out it will be available for the TP2 trust me...Winmo community is the best because it is made of the best geeks in the world...PC geeks for life beyatch....
