To Touch Pro2 or Not to Touch Pro2....

gsmarena has a full review of the tp2 posted already, if anyone was was interested in reading that. even though it is the gsm version, the performance should still be similar to what we should expect in the sprint version.

I wonder if there is any heating issues
as far as user opinions check out xda devs they have a lot of users commenting on the phone. So far for GSM no duds yet

I know I might sound crazy, but if I can talk with phone plugged in and not worry about it dying, I def will be gettin the tp2, thats more of a feature to me than anything!!!!

What is the difference between the MSM7501A processor on the TP, vs MSM7200A processor on the TP2? They are both the same mHz (52, but is the new one a different/better class of processor?

the one on the pro2 is slightly older, what worries me is how it will handle the WVGA screen which really sucks up cpu and remain good preformance-wise (thats one reason why the Pro lacked in optimized performance compared to the Mogul and Touch which has less power compared)

The Omnia Pro really caught my eye though but i rather see a head-to-head comparison before jumping to conclusions. Although the 800mhz and possibly GFX driver provided CPU as well as the AMOLED screen on the omnia really might give the Pro2 a run for its money. we will see...

I'm somewhat on the fence about getting the TP or the TP2. Is there anywhere that compares those two specific devices? I was originally sold on the TP2 b/c of the speaker and the bigger screen but, the more I read about it, the more hesitant I become. The TP2 has fewer hardware buttons on the keyboard, no flash for the camera (I find that thing more useful as a flashlight than for taking pictures lol), and no directional pad. I'm also surprised that they did not seem to make any major hardware updates to this supposedly "new" device. Its almost like a few years ago when Nintendo made the original DS, then repackaged it with a smaller form factor and a better screen as the DSLite. At this point, I have an old ppc-6700 and my contract was up a few months ago. I was on a family plan and recently graduated from college so the parents are kicking me off their plan. I want to stay with Sprint and just get the "everything" plan. Would it be better to just get the TP with some rebates or wait a little longer and get the TP2?

If you are on the 6700 you might as well wait for the TP2. That way at least if you don't like it, or something else comes out soon afterwards you can sell it for more than you could have sold the original TP for.
