There will be a seperate youtube application that comes with the phone that you can use to watch videos, I don't have a link at the moment but I am sure you can see it in action on youtube right now.

Typical growing pains. I'm sure by the time people get used to the Pro with hacks and mods, it'll be the next big thing to make them jump.

I don't care, the Pro looks HAWT!!

I already saw an article about the Touch HD saying that it was only for Europe/Asia application. That could change, but I don't see it coming to Sprint for another 1 year at the least. Hope you don't mind waiting for a very long time.

Just thought this was the most appropriate thread to post this video I found on Youtube.

Why the Touch Pro? Cuz you can text faster than the iPhone...LOL

Nice video...I believe it can be done even faster. The guy on the TP seemed a bit slow. My Kaiser, no matter which ROM/Hard SPL I use, has ever been able to keep up with the speed of my texting...kinda disappointing and annoying to have to backspace to add a letter it missed.

The main feature I'm excited about with the TP is the video out function. I'll link it to the 7" screen in my G35x and have email, video, music, youtube, and internet within my car. Just stick it in the cradle and control with a bluetooth mouse.

LOL...That's what I was thinking too. Even though the guy with the iPhone was struggling too, you could see the guy with the Touch Pro keep hitting backspace...hahahaha.

As for the video out, the best part for me is being able to hook it up to a monitor to use the NAV in my car! SO much cheaper than buying an aftermarket dual din NAV or especially OEM Nav for my car. I'm actually searching for the ideal NAV screen right now.

Ah ha thanks, forgot about the NAV! For the longest time I've exclusively used TomTom N6 especially since you don't have to have data connection for maps. Here in Western NC I often lose cell service when out on woodsy adventures and it's been a live-saver more than once.

Within the last few days I've come to appreciate Google maps...it integrates well with the Manilla2D interface. Since intalling Manilla to my Kaiser it finally has a fluid and useable feel. This will hold me over til the TP is released through ATT, which is rumored to be mid OCT. yay!
