I'm curious about this device. I'm undecided on the TP2. I might just wait and see if this worth the upgrade.

Yeah this post is in new section

But somewhere in that thread it says there are more Android based phones coming to Sprint by end of the yr? May be worth it to wait since the Hero hardware is pretty old (relatively speaking of course)

And I think I would miss the Dpad too much (even though it sucks) to go to the TP2. I do use it pretty often...

Well the reason for the pro 2 over the hero is simple and the same reason to switch from the pro.Bigger screen on the pro 2.The Hero will not be as big and from the reviews it runs slow and also slingplayer will not run on it.

Those are just a few reasons to get pro 2 over the hero

Yeah I mean, I like the hero, but there are definite advantages to having the tp2 coming from the tp, specifically that you can transfer over your apps. Also the screen resolution is better.

But who knows, I may try a hero in a sprint store and cream my pants.

I thought the screen resolution was staying the same...just with a bigger screen. Which I really don't see the advantage of.
