Since the tp will also get the new wm6.5, it will get the tf3d2 update as per my post from Sprint and Htc. The new phone is bigger and the reason why the battery last longer is not based on hardware because it is the same, it's the new 1500mah battery.

It will also get the windows mobile 7 upgrade aswell.
Whenever microsoft gets around to it.

That's a major factor for the reason I'm waiting
for the TP2 instead of getting the TP.
With the TP2 I'll be able to keep it for quite a while.

this is prolly the only reason i can be convinced to get it. but it may be too far off to not get it on a newer device than the Pro2

The TP and TP2 are almost I dentical. I am pretty sure the TP will be able to run windows 7 as well, can someone confirm my theory?

Check your facts first, it will upgrade to wm6.5. There haas not been mention anywhere about the Touch Pro 2 upgrading to wm7.

Actually, there was a link posted somewhere that show all the specs and the last bullet point mentioned wm7 upgradeable. Can't seem to find it right now but its in one of these threads somewhere, probably over in the pocketpc news forums.
