I can't believe I'm getting into the flashlight discussion, but has the lack of flashlight been confirmed? I ask because the photos of the back appear to have the same LED in the same position that the TP1 has.

Could be, but the european version shown on the HTC website sure looks like it has a flash. Of course it also has a different back cover, but that's just cosmetic. I guess we'll just wait until one is in hand.

If you zoom that pic you'll see the button below the camera has a pic of a mic on it. So I am sure that it is the speakerphone button.

The TP2 is just a TP with a bigger screen, removed flash which is very useful, all the problems of a TP (slow video, lag here and there, rainbow spot in middle of screen, GPS lag, and most likely still have heat issues).

Touch pro users are not worth an update to fix GPS lag. Fortunately the Palm Pre is looking quite good. Customizable? I haven't upgraded my ROM since October.

Is the GPS lag & heat issue fixable at all? I never used the stock rom on my Diamond but no GPS lag and major heat (much cooler with a different radio). Slow video on occasion depending on what files and misc lag not significant enough to annoy me. What's the rainbow spot in the middle of the screen though? Sounds horrible.

Really do wonder why they removed flash. Had it on my 2 previous phones but lived without it on the Diamond. Such a simple feature that is so useful...

I'm quite sure that the GPS lag is fixable as the mogul ran perfectly. The rainbow smudge is discussed in this thread.http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49405. Looks like someone put a little motor oil and water behind the screen.
