Now I love my TP2 but if HD2 came with a keyboard as TP3

It's just like Intel and AMD processors. We could have had 6+ GHz procs years ago, but there's a ton of money to be made by also selling 3, 4, ad 5GHz procs. The ability to give the market something better is already there. But why go from A straight to E when there's all that money to be made in B, C, and D. If you're really estitute you'll notice this business model in just about every industry in some way. Example, the 2004 Nissan Altima didn't have folding side mirrors....the 2005 does. They held off on the mirrors so they would have one more "NEW" item to add to the new model window sticker thus making it look like a better car. Previous generaltions of Altimas had folding mirrors.

In short....every combination of phone will be done before the perfect model sees the light of day.

I think this is why they didn't include a flash and all the tech inside upgrades on the TP2 vs. TP1. This way they can market the TP3 with snapdragon and flash and we will all rush to buy yet another device.

i really would like to see what the tp3 would look like. Even though I wish better, i'm pretty sure they will not give it a bigger screen, but instead maybe a faster processor and updated tf3d (2.5? 3.0?) possibly a better camera.

They keep the HD with a bigger screen to make people choose. i think it increases sales too.

a sprint tech that works for corp cust. just told me that hd2 is coming to sprint the week of christmas and a tp3 based off the hd2 with wm 7 is coming in april it has all the goodies of hd2 with better battery and a sliding keyboard and a 4.3" screen Im surprised none of this info has leaked yet.

Disclaimer: I know all the haters are going to say what ever this info is made up and what not but im telling you this is going to happen.

I'm not hating but it's not. Wm7 isn't set to come out untill the 3rd quarter next year.

He meant xmas of 2010 !!!

You guys are dreaming. GSM models always come 6-9 months ahead of CDMA models.

We won't see an HD2 (or anything close) on Sprint or Verizon until Aug 2010 at the earliest.

If it was coming xmas this year you would see info published on it with FCC by now.

I LOVE my TP2 (with Mighty ROM) but if I could buy a phone with a bigger capacitive screen I would buy it tomorrow. I really love the way the screen on my ipod touch reacts & zooms & I really want the biggest screen I can get.

I could care less about the hardware KB, I never use it anyway (I use TouchPal 3.5 with T+ which is WAY faster than typing on any hardware KB)

with a 4.3 inch screen and a keyboard touchpal wouldnt be needed or even without the keyboard i assume the bigger screen would give a person with the fattest fingers enough room

Its not just about having enough finger space. Some of us like the real tactile feedback from the hardware keyboard. No, "vibrateback" cannot replace the real feel of the hardware keyboard.

As for changing carriers for a phone... It seems like 2 year contracts (even 3 years for a free Palm Pre) it too long of a commitment. Here are my reasons as to why i will wait for a TP3 or a HD (w/ keyboard) on a Sprint Network.

1. Sero Plan ($30 + $7 Total Equip. Protection) is unbeatable.
2. EVDO > 3G (AT&T and T-Mobile) in terms of reliability and speed. (At least in the LA Area)
3. Mostly likely, within 6 months, a better HTC phone will surface that will make u drool all over again.

My 2 cents.

In my opinion the HD2 w/ a keyboard isn't enough of an upgrade for me.

i want a 4.3" 720p screen w/ a 1.5ghz snapdragon (or tegra II preferably) w/ a gig of ram! and of course a keyboard.
