Since Sprint will be releasing a WM6.5 update for the TP, I will keep my TP.
I only paid $1.05 for my Touch Pro when I was having so many problems with my Mogul.
The new TP2 lacks a camera flash, dpad, voice services, and to me, the back is ugly.
Also, the speakerphone requires that you put it screen down, talk about scratches!!
I'M going to wait this one out until the WM7 devices roll out...

TP2 doesnt get a hardware refresh..... only bigger screen. You'll be disappointed if you think you are leaving TP problems behind you.

its a quad band device.. gsm AND cdma, plus the gps radio... dont think for a sec it wont have the same overheating issues...

the mogul overheated, and it wasnt corrected with the TP... so i doubt the TP2 will be different... Has HTC made a new device in the past 2 yrs that doesnt overheat while charging and doing things??? until they upgrade their batteries they use(UTStarcom, actually recalled their batteries in the WING awhile back, same battery used in Moguls-sprint refused to do a recall, yet Tmobile mailed em out without customers even asking) we'll always have these issues...

too many radios, and were trying to do too much while its charging... the problem is us, not the device necc... although, theres no reason not to be able to make a call and it stay charging, which the TP doesnt do

I can't see the touch pro 2 as an upgrade because getting a bigger screen doesn't change the internal components. I like it for the big screen. that's it.

this reminds me of what car manufacturers do. they come out with a model and two years later they change the tail lights and a few knobs inside and act as if its so much better. tf3d2 has been floating around for a year. the only thing you getting is a big screen and better keyboard. we will see how many migrate to it when it comes out.

to me the only real draw is its bigger.. people coming from the Mogul might love the TP2 as its probably close in size.. i know, for me anyways, if i could have all my TP storage in a mogul body, id still have a mogul... thats kinda what the TP2 is to me, just a TP in a bigger shell...

i certainly wont be getting one.. well if sprint throws some free deal my way sure, but thats about it

The only reason that I would like it would be because of the bigger screen.

agreed, the bigger screen would be great imo, since you cant really use full screen in PIE very well.. so it'd be nice to browse with a fuller screen-not an opera or skyfire fan personally
