If you look through these zillion posts what "most" people are saying is it will be available for direct ship Sept 3 and in stores Sept 8.

Oh I know, I am a seasoned vet when dealing with sprint but honestly I don't want to run to retentions everytime I want something. Sprint has taken great care of me over the years especially with both my apaches, both my moguls I had before and the diamond and pro I have now, they have gone out of there way for me with me not even having to resign a contract most of the time . So I will do my part and support sprint and pay full pop, and just resign a contract next year with the next greatest thing that will come out, what ever phone that may be.

Now muffinman, you should know better anyway than to listen to a bunch of people who are probably in the same boat as you. I'm getting the TP2 as a belated Father's Day gift, otherwise, I'd have to generate some scheme I'm sure.

And as for your response regarding paying full price as opposed to using the retentions threat, may I just say "thank you". I feel as you, Sprint has been good to me over the years, and I've only had one customer service rep treat me poorly. In the end, because of how angry he made me, and he was in the wrong, Sprint gave me a Mogul to replace my Treo 700p which was giving me the fits. I thought that was pretty superb service. How they can remain in business when so many just want to stick it to them is beyond my thinking.

well i could tell you this much as per sprint telling the employees about the release we don't know anything other then whats found on the internet i want this phone i figured it might be out by oct only because its just not right that a upgrade to a phone came out less then 12 months honestly this should have came out right after

I called Sprint yesterday to check what upgrades I was eligible for and asked about the pro2. They confirmed the 8th for both.

08/21/2009 12:24:43PM Searcher61: "So I would get what ever the price the phone says "as a new customer"?"
08/21/2009 12:24:53PM Agent (Chris G): "That is correct."
08/21/2009 12:25:55PM Searcher61: "ok... one last question. I have heard of a new phone.. I have a diamond today and am looking to upgrade to a phone called the Pro2. Do you know when that will be available?"
08/21/2009 12:26:50PM Agent (Chris G): "One moment I will assist you with this information shortly."
08/21/2009 12:27:00PM Searcher61: "thank you."
08/21/2009 12:28:50PM Searcher61: "HTC Touch Pro2... is the full name I think."
08/21/2009 12:31:00PM Agent (Chris G): "This device would be launched on Sept 8"
08/21/2009 12:31:24PM Searcher61: "Stores or from telesales?"
08/21/2009 12:32:21PM Agent (Chris G): "This would be both stores and telesales."
08/21/2009 12:32:30PM Searcher61: "Thank you...."
08/21/2009 12:32:43PM Searcher61: "Thats all I needed."
08/21/2009 12:33:06PM Searcher61: "goodbye"
08/21/2009 12:33:20PM Session Ended

Hi... I was considering to buy a pro2.I am tired of my regular Mogul and need a nice upgrade. I passed on the Pro since it is also suffering from improper 3d acceleration. So I did a little hunting around for video on you tube all about Pro2 and I could not help it and now I have the itch! I want to get it badly. But after viewing more videos of it in action(telus and Tmobile versions), I could not help noticing it ALSO suffers from improper Hardware acceleration. Remember all those videos of how older gen PPC like the 6700 would out perform the new handsets like the mogul,Touch, Diamond Pro,Tilt and so on? Specially on the videos using Tom Tom or Igo 8? Remember the videos when they put a side by side comparison of a 6700 vs. Mogul running Igo or Tom Tom? Where as the 6700 had excellent render and smooth while the mogul was very sloppy and choppy and running on 8 FPS? Well... I came across this video and it looks like Pro 2 has the exact same 3d acceleration problem.

So I decided not to buy. I hate to play the whole "Tweak and hope 3d communities fix our PPC game" again. I wish HTC would just release a properly working PPC for a change.

PS. Just found out the Pro2 uses the same CPU as the Pro except it a older version of it. I wonder why? Its like they are taking a step baclwards.

The specs on the pro2 have been discussed many times. Many people have asked the same questions. I have my own theory about the CPU, maybe the older version did not get as hot, so it may have helped fix the overheating problem in the first touch pro.

The funny thing is that a few years ago I would probably be all in retentions *** trying to get whatever I could but I have changed alot over the years and realize that I shouldn't really be that way(you know, always trying to get something for nothing). I wouldn't want my job nickle and diming me over my paycheck so why would I treat someone else that way?

Agreed on that. Ask but do not pester.
