I'd wait until some official word starts coming from sprint then decide a couple of weeks ahead of time and researching then decide if you want to catch a touch pro for cheap before you can't get them

I agree with this. The phone is essentially the SAME under the hood except with a bigger screen. Throw a good WinMo 6.5 w/ Manilla 2.5 ROM on your TP and you basically have a TP2 w/ better screen and speakerphone. There are some other minor enhancements that generally just make it a slightly better TP. I just cant really validate spending any money on this small upgrade. My TP will do fine until Sprint has a true next-gen option (winMo 7?) in 2010 Q2 or around there.

for myself when i saw the screen size of the touch pro compared to my mogul i was like "hell no" I knew one would come out sooner than later with a larger screen so i am definately glad i waited. Going from the mogul to the touch pro 2 is going to be incredible.

Let me tell you, I thought even going from the Mogul to the TP was incredible. Jumping to a TP2 will DEFINITELY be great. The TP is Soooo much snappier and more responsive compared to the Mogul. It got to the point where the Mogul was really getting annoying. Mogul--> TP2 is definitely a justified update. However TP-->TP2 is probably not.
What other kinds of Phones/OS options are we predicted to be seeing in Q2-3 of 2010? Tegra may only be android based down the road and I feel like WinMo7 will be much more robust and matured for Business uses and 3rd party apps.

Apparently while the initial focus is Windows Mobile, NVIDIA sees Android surpassing Windows Mobile sales into 2012 and has decided to put some serious grunt into the new OS's development. The NVIDIA Tegra 2600 part is being developed with an optimized and accelerated Android release aimed squarely at OEM development and set for release sometime in Q2 this year.
