I am totally anti Apple but my gf's old iphone 1st gen took way better pics than my newish TP2.
Wtf HTC, get your sensors from Omnivision like Apple and then put a real flash on it, not that LED junk. But keep the current camera mic, it is the best out there right now.

I loved the flash that i used to have on my TP, always had a flashlight on me!

I have the Touch Pro 2, and agree the camera could be better even at 3.2 MP... However, I played with the HD2 at the T-Mobile store and must say that I am impressed with the camera on the HD2. It has the LED flash, so it at least has a flash but the flash on the LEDs could be better.

I traded phones with my brother, who has an iphone 3GS, and besides the camera, I was ready to give it back in about 5 hours.

Yeah that's HARDLY enough time to really use the phone. As much as I used to be a windows fanboy and apple hater, that all changed once I got an iMac and got used to using it. The OS is MUCH more intuitive than Windows and I have to say Apple has things really figured out, from their computers, to the iPod, to the iPhone. As much as I like my TP2, and I would love to have an EVO, and I'm excited about the new W7 phones, I wouldn't mind having an iPhone on Sprint with 4g if they offered one. Actually, that's probably what I would have.

with all the new sprint phones coming I know I will be upgrading from the touch pro 2.. the touch pro 3 or so its being called right now feels like a downgrade so hopefully they change the name of it to like the touch pro mini or something. Now my upgrade who knows evo, the lg or motorola phones maybe even a win mobile 7 (assuming they add in multitasking and cut and paste and such after launch like they said they would) so many choices its great to be a sprint customer for once.

My pictures use to suck too, just look below at some before and after. I took a cotton shirt that was slightly coarse, a little saliva and rubbed on the plastic screen for a good 3-5 minutes. There is this anti-fog film on the screen which is suppose to stop condensation when it is pulled out of your pocket, but it just makes your pictures suck.

yeah the camera is really really crappy. I mean they couldnt even include flash in it and the quality screams 2mp or less. Sometimes I get good pictures but usually they suck. My wifes moment has a 3.2 and takes awesome pictures and has a flash and is cheaper wtf how come htc couldnt include that?

An HD2 now would be a mistake. Since it's not getting W7, you're gonna be stuck with an obsolete OS. Unless you plan on running a ported android build, but in that case, I'd just buy the droid phone coming end of the month.

Very true. The best choices for the year unless that Scorpion processor monster thing gets announced very soon would be the EVO and the Incredible.

Yea, the HD2 has a very nice camera. My brother has the HD2, and it takes awesome pictures - even in the dark with the flash. So I'm wondering what their 8MP camera does.

I do think it sucks that the HD2 is not WM7 compatible, but it seems M$ is losing a lot of interest from their customers regarding the WM7 specs & non-compatibility. Once that comes out (which I'm assuming to happen early 2011?), I'll probably switch to Android. So I guess getting the incredible may be a possibility for me. Or possibly the EVO. I just really really like the HD2. What a good looking phone.
