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.

Why does everybody down talk the performance of the touch pro? I think the performance is just fine. They made some physical changes to make the device more enjoyable. Why fix it if it isn't broken. Especially with windows 6.5 coming along. It takes up even less space. I gurantee you when you see the touch pro 2 sporting and offcial 6.5 rom all of you will just be wowed.

The author of the article is obviously a just a Pre fanboy. If he says that the TP2 is a POS and it's slightly better than the TP, then he must think TP stands for Toiletpaper......I'm content for now with my TP because of sites like this and custom roms (Thanks Scott). I'll just wait til my TP gets another nuetron ring problem and get verizon to upgrade me to the TP2. IMHO the TP2 is what the TP should have been all along.

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.
i dont see the problem here lol

I can see how it is a questionable upgrade from TP, but for folks upgrading from 6800, do you think it is worth it? I definitely do... especially since my 6800 is on the fritz and currently has the functionality of a paperweight.

Perhaps you can explain how the performance has been compromised... I see the same specs on both devices with the exception of the different chip sets. Which, from my understanding, the 7200a chip is supposed to have better video playback and recording than 7201a.

Yes, even though I've never had a 6800, I'm sure the TP2 will be better than a non-working 6800.

Personally, I'm keeping my TP.
I'm ok with the screen and the KB of the TP, I don't care that much about the improved mic and speakerphone (they work fine as is), and I would miss the D-pad.

I think it's a pretty weak "upgrade". Of course, that's just my opinion.

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