New Touch Pro 2 not worth upgrade, must read!

I think the screen size alone is worth the upgrade. Just do it when you have the 150$ rebate don't go out and but one straight up. Then it's not worth it.

Good point, but all of us TP owners have had the TP for less than a year. The TP 2 will probably be out 3rd or 4th quarter which then would only give us a $75 rebate. The TP 2 will probably come out at $500 or $600. For those who have a TP already, even a TP 2 at $450 or $350 doesn't make too much sense outside of bragging rights, the need to have the latests gadget, or the money just buring a hole in your pocket. Some will be able to negoitiate a new TP 2 through different means and/or buy at a huge discount but not many. The upgrade seems more suitable for Mogul, Touch and 6700 users. I feel like I am waiting or the next HTC WIndows based PPC phone after the TP2 with Windows Mobile 7, 5 megapixel camera, faster processor, and other uprades.

I have tried to talk myself into finding a good reason to buy the TP2 and haven't come up with a good reason yet.

I've missed mine too until I got the TP, but I still miss the screen size. The 6700 and mogul were terrible replacements, complete downgrades in performance--why on earth did they go from 128mb ram to 64 on those--64mb isn't even enough for WM to run properly.

I only paid $1.05 for my Touch Pro back in March and The $100 rebate, so I got it for free. I gave Sprint back my problem Mogul which was purchased for negative $700 with all the free service and credits I got because the service in Myrtle Beach sucked!
I am waiting for a new windows mobile 7 phone with a 1 ghz snapdragon cpu and 512 ram and the larger oled screen. So I'm hanging on to my Touch Pro until then because if I upgraded everytime a new device came out, I would end up buying a new Phone every 6 months.

Not a problem at all, just makes no sense to buy a new phone every 3-6 months.

too bad the snapdragon is a long ways from being produced in cell phones...netbooks just got them, and reports are that performance wasnt what was expected at all...
