FYI, Walmart is selling flashlights for $1.99 with baterries no less. If you want one for you keychain, you could probably score one of those for about a buck. The big bright screen of the TP32 works fine for illuminating any space.

I can only tell you why I upgraded my TP2....because I'd come to hate my TP. It's as simple as that. In particular the keyboard was my biggest gripe with the TP. I just couldn't get used to it. The keyboard on the TP2, IMO, is far superior, and I'm not talking about the tilt, I'm talking about the layout, spacing, usability, etc.

All of the other pluses are just a bonus e.g. increased screen size, form factor (once you've used it for a while you'll understand, and I'm not talking about holding it in the store for 30 minutes), raised volume and power buttons (my preference only boys and girls), 3.5mm jack, and better battery life.

These are my opinions, my preferences, and my money if I want to spend it (or the companies?). I'm happy with my current choice. Next year I'll probably be posting in another thread 'justifying' why I needed to upgrade from a TP2

Everyone is going to have have their own opinion -some will be biased, others will be more honest. If you're not happy with what you have, you've got your homework to do. If you are, then congrats, and you're probably not reading this anyway

Something else I neglected to mention, the volume buttons are no longer on the side of the lcd, so no more PIA pushing of the tiny buttons.

Yes the TP2 is better in some ways, worse in others, and about the same everywhere else....

The question you should be asking: Is it $200 better than your TP?

And I bet if we looked at the post archives we would find that most of you who say you upgraded because you hated the old phone said all the same things about your last phone when you first got your TP!

I'm not racing to upgrade simply because my TP works fine! I have never had the issues everyone else seems to have with it...
Yes the battery sucks and I'm sure the TP2 battery sucks as well!

I haven't had a cell phone that ever had enough battery power! LOL

HTC did screw up by not providing a flash led...Would have added all of 10 cents to the price!
Considering they skimped on the proc it was the least they could have done for us.

I think it's becoming indisputable that the camera on the TP2 IS in fact better if not simply by the increase in resolution. Considering that it's using the same hardware, I think a software solution for the TP1 may not be far off.

Well if there is an actual increase in resolution then the hardware is not identical. Both are CMOS cameras I'm pretty sure but a 5 MP camera has more pixel sensors (or better sensor density) on the CMOS chip than a 3MP camera does.

Software alone won't be able to correct that.
And at some point the Megapixels will not matter much anymore...
Cause the glass of the lens will be the limiting factor not the chip sensor.

While tecnology can increase the density of the pixel sensors on the chip it still is for naught if the lens does not have the focal length to increase the size of the picture hitting that sensor.
