I got a chance to play with one in the store yesterday. The phone is pretty large and feels about twice as heavy as other WinMo touchscreen phones. It has an accelerometer, but few programs make use of it. The Touchflow screens completely ignored the accelerometer and only Internet Explorer made use of it.
I didn't have a chance to do much with it as the T-Mo employee was scrutinizing my every move. The GUI felt plenty fast. The display is the best I've seen on any Windows Mobile device. Viewing photos on it is a whole different experience from other devices. A friend of mine raves about his Sony Xperia X1, but to me, the TP2 is a better choice for someone who wants to carry a small computer that also happens to make phone calls.
I tried to get pricing info from them, but they were pretty quiet about it. All they would say is that their discounted phones rarely go for more than $249. I'm guessing that this will cost $299 with a 2-year contract since it's such an expensive phone. The Dash 3G is $169 with 2-year contract and it's a far less expensive device.
