Well, I hope the fine folks at Expansys will provide this version of the TP2 :)

Now I'm debating over the TP2 and the new Acer M900 for a new phone in the Fall. Perhaps I'll get the first one to come out with 6.5

Dang! Here we go again with Telus and Bell getting the coolest new business phones on their CDMA network. While Rogers (our only GSM) sits back and suckles on the iPhone success.

There's probably NO CHANCE that Rogers will even bother with the latest HTC phones, as there just isn't the same market as the iPhone.

Maybe it's time to switch....
