I don't have any experience with the Alltel Touch Pro, but it seems similar to the Sprint version. Recently my Sprint Touch Pro (hacked to work on Verizon) keyboard started having issues so I was forced to pickup the Verizon version to tie me over until the TP2 comes out. And let me tell you, it was a major let down.

Verizon:
keyboard sucks: I can't get used to the arrows being between the M & N.
memory: it always runs out of memory unless I turn off TF3D & disable the HTC dialer.
screen: it looks really washed out compared to the Sprint version which is bright and crisp. it also has an oily film look in day light and the back light has a sort of "buzzing" look to it.
speed: because of the lack of memory the whole thing runs really slow
size: it's actually taller than the Sprint version and is more brick like
looks: it looks like a cheap toy. the Sprint version looks hot with it's combination of chrome, black and gray.

The whole thing is just a total POS IMO.

The Sprint TP had it's own set of issues:

battery cover: is flimsy and makes creaking noises when the keyboard is extended and I'm typing.
screen: after months of use starts to get loose between the screen and keyboard.
chrome: mine cracked around the volume button without dropping or having had any impact. it just started to crack and then a big chunk fell off of it.
keyboard: stopped working
dust: when this thing came out, I exchanged it several times because they all had dust under the screen & dead pixels.

T-Mobile TP2:

In the week I've had this thing, I have to say, from a hardware standpoint, this thing is rock solid! I really don't see it breaking down over time, and I'm hoping the Verizon version continues that tradition. I really hope Verizon let HTC use the best of everything & didn't sacrifice quality to save a few dollars. For example, I really hope the screen isn't washed out like the TP is. Obviously there are different screens these guys choose, because there is a significant difference between the Sprint TP & the Verizon TP.

Wow, how could you live with that brick for so long. I had that monster from the day of its release to the day of the 6800's release. All it took was a phone call to Asurion to get it for free, and rid myself of the nightmare of the 6700 forever.

This is more of a Verizon update then a TP2 update

well this might be a sign Verizon is launching new phones this week but they currently have a 3 day sale of the Nokia 7205, due to end on 8/27, and the BB Storm, among other BB devices, are now at $49.99

However checking the http://store.verizonwireless.com/landing/ site, the prices for the Diamond and TP are back up to $99.99

I'll give it time =/

WOAH!?! I just called them a few days ago to replace my 6700 and they said they'd be shipping out ANOTHEr 6700!! How did you get a 6800?!?! Also i have used the Vogue for a while (i was able to modesn a broken contract one i bought on ebay but it was stolen a fwe months back so all i did was fire up my old 6700 and it took its place as my phone again) but i noticed the typing of numbers is a lot easier on the 6700 vs the vogue/6900

I think it has to do with what Asurion's warehouse stock is at, if they have the 6700 sitting there they have to send you that one. If you play your cards right, if they don't have any more 6700's or 6800's you could end up getting a Touch Pro.

I called a week ago because the keyboard on my 6800 went bad and they are still shipping out 6800's so instead of giving them $50 for a refurb'd 6800 i'll wait for the TP2
