I'm wondering why the TP 2 doesn't have a 5MP camera... It looks like a great phone, but I don't see it as a needed upgrade, but knowing me, I always love a new phone. Anyways, I can't wait for it to come out, so I can strip all the new junk from it and put it on my TP

Jesus A Christ 3.6 screen! htc hd is no longer needed or wanted.

Yeah its about time they went with a bigger screen. The micro screen size from 2005, even at vga resolution, is really dated.

Too bad WinMo isn't getting updated in time - wm 6.5 won't be ready until end of summer, and 7.0 won't be ready until spring 2010. No rush there, redmond.

I'll pass, my next device is probably the Palm Pre, already have a large pile of winmo hardware.

Nice that they brought back the tilt screen, that worked well on the Tilt (which I have)

So, yeah, guess this also explains the dumping of the 6800 (they are revving their hardware so fast people are not even close to ready to pop for a new device. The TP just came out in November...)

This makes me glad I didn't blow my upgrade eligibility on my TP

Now lets hope Sprint gets it...

1100 mAh battery... Is this a joke? by the looks of it, it will take up more battery than the diamond1 which barely goes half a day without dying on 1350 mAh...

whoa, its gonna be hard to decide on which phone to get this time around.

i want a massive screen, but a slim phone
i want a 5mp camera but i want a massive screen
i want a slim phone but i want a 1500mah batt

3.5mm headphone jack. what the heck is going on??

Son of a B****. Damn you HTC, why bring out such a beautiful TP2 now? My TP is still pretty hot. HTC is a company full of people who don't have to deal with wives.....

Well, the leaked Sprint road map shows devices that look just like the Diamond 2 and Pro 2. HTC has had a pretty good relationship with Sprint, so Sprint will probably get them, maybe not as the same time the GSM versions come out, but eventually...
