Over in the pocket pc news forums there are several threads that talk about what the tp2 will come with.

There's a pretty comprehensive (IMO) video comparison on pocketnow.com

[psycho_maniac]

pocketnow.com has like 4 videos on the tp2 you choulc check them out.

I just checked them out. The TP2 has worse battery life, no cam flash, no dpad, weighs more, is bigger, uses a older cpu, zoom bar is touchy, but will be a great phone just like the TP.
Then in 3 months from now you will hear about the upgrade to the TP2, the all new TP3, then TP4. Why release a phone so close to the release of another? IT's like cars, they release the 2010 model in Feb and March. The TP2 is nice for a bigger phone and a nice screen, but they brag about the higher resolution screen, of course it is higher, it is bigger! I'll stick with my TP that I just got brand new for $1.05 back in March as a trade for my poor Mogul and all it's problems. Plus since Sprint will be upgrading the Touch Pro to WM6.5 as well as the Touch Pro 2, I will wait until the Wm7 is released with snapdragon 1 ghz. Oh and the new TP2 has less ram.

as far as I know the TP is not upgradable to wm6.5 through official rom updates.

If you know different, let me in - how'd you find out?

I posted a email sent to me from a manager at Sprint about two weeks ago.
They are currently working on a wm6.5 update for the current Touch Pro.
The release will be sent to Sprint customers who subscribe to email update.
It will have the dialer fix and other fixes.

Video says there is no dpad on the TP2. Go to HTC, look up Touch PRO 2, it says, dpad, not supported.
