I also can't stand those generic stock photos of supposedly successful people... Happy... Surrounded by loved ones.....

or is it because they all have iPhone?

Tell me about it! I bought the phone on day 1 launch here in the States and ALREADY there's a new version. There are a few threads of pissed off Fuze owners on xda-devs. I know technology improves very quickly, but a whole THREE MONTHS before a new one is announced and availability by the end of Q2 which is at most 9 months out from the first iteration.

They HAD to have been working on this before the TP1 was released. So basically they're pulling an EA games strategy and holding back what could've been released at launch to cash in a few months later.]]>Feb 22nd 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/htc-says-touch-pro2-to-be-broadly-available-north-america-inc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/htc-says-touch-pro2-to-be-broadly-available-north-america-inc/Feb 22nd 2009 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/htc-says-touch-pro2-to-be-broadly-available-north-america-inc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/htc-says-touch-pro2-to-be-broadly-available-north-america-inc/

Running a Touch Pro here and it is blazingly fast after installing a custom ROM on it.

- The enormous screen with the gigantic resolution, doesn't stream HD.... the Touch HD with the same resolution and processor played DVDrips with choppy frame rates.
- The OS doesn't support 3D acceleration.
- Not for single-handed usage.

The Palm Pre is the best device so far. (even though I saw a recent 23 -minute demo that showed webOS to be very sluggish and slow).... but I'm waiting for the Tegra Android in Q3..... or the G3....

False.

WinMo handles 3D acceleration just fine.
There are cases where the manufacturers of 3D chips dont provide proper drivers to get adequate 3D performance out of their hardware, but the point stands that it is entirely fallacious of you to assert that Win Mo does not handle 3D when it does elegantly if properly supported by the driver manufacturers. ]]>Feb 23rd 2009 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/htc-says-touch-pro2-to-be-broadly-available-north-america-inc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/htc-says-touch-pro2-to-be-broadly-available-north-america-inc/
The drivers are available for free from third party developers. You just need to run WinMo 6.1.
