The long story short is that they're very impressive devices. And, as you probably already know, HTC is committed to providing free Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrades later in the year. If all that has convinced you to purchase, head over to our affiliate hardware store. The <a href="http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=179174&amp;partner=pthoughts" target="_blank">Touch Pro2</a> is available for pre-order; however, the <a href="http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=179176&amp;partner=pthoughts" target="_blank">Touch Diamond2</a> is already in stock (48 units, at the time of writing) and ready to ship, so you could have one in your hands as early as this week.</p>

anyone have any speculation for the tp2 on at&t?

Some ppl say it won't be until november because they're gonna wait atleast a year since the tilt was launched and that the FUZE is still fairly new, but At&t is now offering the fuze for free i think it could be soon..

I hope they will be able to optimize the Touch Pro 2: with a somewhat underpowered processor the battery lasts only half day? Way too short for someone like me that has already gotten burned by the Touch and its ridiculous battery life.
I am slowly drifting toward the Toshiba.......

yeh, specs aren't special, it's a wait and see for me.

Is this really a good idea to advise buying a D2 or TP2 when they dont have US 3G? Seems a waste of money since you will never get the full potential of these devices in the US in their current config.

I must agree. Another thing, Touch Pro2 has accelometer, but yet, it looks if you want to change screen orientation you must open a keyboard. So, what ios the point to have the axelometer?

That's just fine with me. I've watched people twist and turn their iPhone's to get it oriented the right way. Give me a button or something. The phone is not smarter than I am. Not with orientation any way.

This looks pretty cool but I with they didn't take away the d-pad.

It's all about the apps, not the app store.

If Apple keeps software like SlingPlayer off the iPhone and WinMo developers step it up this probably be my next phone.
