Upgrade to Touch Pro or wait until Touch Pro 2

Depends on how soon you want to pull the trigger, how deep your pockets are and what value you place on being on the "Bleeding Edge" and also, if you are SERO.

You should be able to get a TP for $100-$200 in the next few months, after rebates. I'd guess that the TP2 will be available about 6-9 months from now but it will probably maintain a $200 premium over the TP.

Even now, you can't count on all Sprint stores and retailers having a TP in stock.

OK, so I don't wait for TP2. will i be happy with TP when using VZW 6800 now? Reading a lot of neg reviews bout VZW version and all versions in general.

Do a lot of reading here and figure out how to get a sprint TP to work on VZW. That way you won't have to extend a contract, more expensive but better hardware.

I was thinking about this too. I'm with VZW. VZW won't have the TP2 until later in the year if not next, that's a given. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with my mogul so I decided to pull the trigger. I ended up purchasing a Sprint Touch Pro on ebay last night. I won't burn my upgrade, and will be able to sell it (and my mogul) when the TP2 appears.

That's my plan. Your results may vary

That is simply not true.

I am no big fan of VZ as a company & I'll certainly agree their phones suck, but their coverage/fast SMS/calls connecting etc is WAY better than Sprint & I've used both extensively.

I had Sprint for two years & I am never going back. I do buy Sprint phones however as anyone who hangs on this site has the capability to port a Sprint phone over to VZ & have the best phone along with the best service.

By the way, I run a corporate account at work with 49 VZ phones (we switched them all over from Sprint) & VZ's tech support is super (I was on the phone with them yesterday)

odd, just sold mine on craigslist for $100 2 days ago. Now he is calling me back to help load some cabs

I sold a heavily modified xv6800 last week on ebay for $180.

I'm always amused when someone says "that's not true" about someone else's opinion... it's like saying "I can see into your mind, and I know that's not really your opinion

BTW, John - of course your support experience with VZW is superb... you're on a corporate account. Most companies will put their best support people on the business accounts and will usually bend policies much more frequently for them (and I should know... I work for a major computer company in corporate accounts tech support and we do that quite frequently)
