worth Getting the Touch Pro 2 for Sprint?

[HTCtx01]

Personally, I love my TP2! I've been waiting all this time, n I finally got it...

Pros against EVO:
- Cheaper buying used.
- Screen Size's just right. (I might be the only one, but think EVO's screen's too big. hard to navigate using just the thumb)
- w/ Updated WM 6.5 ROM, the Sense 2.5 is amazing (just like EVO).
- World Phone (World GSM Unlocked).

Cons:
- Slower processor (EVO runnin 2x fast w/ Snapdragon)

I love my TP2. That said it is already out of date due to WM. Unfortunately the developers have dropped WM due to WP coming out. Just look, most places are offering apps for "smart phones", yet they only ever make them for iPhone, android, and blackberry, WM is never even considered.

I would wait until Sprint releases the next wave of midrange android devices, which I imagine would be soon considering the moment and hero are getting long in the tooth about now.

That said, the TP2 is a fun device and there are a ton of leg ace apps out there.

Thanks a ton lafester. I've been waiting (not quite patiently haha) for a nice post like that..just what I wanted to hear. There are some HTC TP2s in the Bargain Trader forum that look nice..one for sub200 and one that looks pristine for 225. I can get it from Sprint for 200 but if I could get the exact same phone and not use my upgrade now..that would be nice! I could always get a free phone or semi-cheap one and sell it NIB on eBay. Ha.

Also this is my 4th smart phone and I have had to plug them all in at night to charge. I use my phone for businesss use as well so I receive email on it constantly, but its something I have just gotten used to.

This is the best advice. TP2 is a good phone, but I'm ready to leave for a new phone. I'm on Verizon waiting for the Droid X (I was considering the Incredible). There has been quite a few high end phones that were released in the last 2 months, and I'm certain there are more to come very shortly. Don't waste your upgrade.

I bought mine on eBay so I would not get tied into new contract. I have a good old contract. Generally not bad if you have to stay with Windows and it is Quad band. Wonder what you could get a new one for now on eBay and keep your options open.

I just had the same debate whether or not to upgrade from my diamond to the TP2 and I finally pulled the trigger and I couldnt be happier, its a huge step up from my little diamond. The size took some getting used to but I am very happy with it so far

EDIT: I also got mine on ebay, 250 shipped with no contract extention

WOW dell axim x50v user,i have an x51v but yea ull feel right at home with ur TP2 as it basically has the same hardware specs except higher resolution and no cf card slot,as forsoftware much newer OS 6.5.x vs 5.0 (6.1 or 6.5.x via custom ROM) i personally hated the 6.5 roms on my old x51v because it only booted with less than 10mb of RAM
