I had to drop my $7.99 My Circle text messaging pack and pick up the comparable Verizon pack, which is $2.00 more a month. I can live with $24 a year extra for the Touch Pro 2.

yeah but now i heard that they fixed the online problem so my only choice is to do it over the phone which i heard they will not give you as much of a hassle as in the stores. i might go in the store just so i can pick up the phone right there and if they make my change my plan im walking out.

I just did it online last Tuesday, so if they've changed it, it's just been in the past few days. After signing into my account and clicking on the option to upgrade my phone, it showed me which phones were compatible with my current (Alltel) plan.

only reason to wait is if the hd2 comes to sprint early next year.

Noone ever said that. HTC said they will be bringing it to the US in Q1 of 2010. They didn't say they are making a CDMA version for the US. They will bring a GSM model. Ie no Sprint compatibility.

Hence the "if" in his statement. They didn't say anything regarding the US compatibily at all so we can't rule out a CDMA counterpart. Touch Pro(2), Diamond, Hero and more were GSM in Europe (obviously) and yet they all have CDMA counterparts here in the states. Until I hear otherwise I refuse to give up on the dream that they will continue this tradition with the HD2.

Look at the HTC HD. Which is the one that came before the Leo. No US counterpart, no CDMA counterpart.

Yeah but HTC never said that would come to the US.

Is the imagio a CDMA HD? I know it doesn't have the 3.8" screen, but if not, then what is the GSM counterpart to the Imagio? Or is there one?

1) iGuidance
2) GPSGate v2.6 (which is needed on the Mogul to allow iGuidance to work)
3) PDANet
4) SOTI PocketController Pro
5) MusicID

This is the software that I use most on the Mogul. But if there are other known and troublesome software problems on the TP2, please share those as well.

Another thing I'd be worried about is Bluetooth. I've seen a couple of mentions of TP2 Bluetooth problems. My biggest concern would be to make sure that my Motorola stereo BT headset works properly, as I use that for nearly all of my calls.

I've already seen the thread covering things like dead pixels and/or troublesome keyboards. If I run into those, I can always arrange an exchange. But if there are other hardware/software problems that can't readily be solved by swapping phones, please mention those as well.

Thanks in advance for the consultation!
