I was one of the customers to purchase the new HTC Touch pro2 and i was SADLY disappointed. This units needs a lot of work. It appears to be running two operating systems (window mobile and HTC system). The window system is very boring and less attractive than the HTC menu. The HTC menus are slick and creative. The HTC menus are used as a type of front face but opens with windows.....boring!!!! Either be a MAC or a PC!!!
Pros: attractive phone with great key board and speaker phone. Cons: Poor battery life (GPS drains your battery fast), very complicated with windows mobile software and very heavy to carry in your pocket.
Uh, if you had done any bit of research, you would know that TouchFlo3D is an interface on top of Windows Mobile. It's not an OS, it's just a front end. Yes, WinMo 6.1 tends to be a bit boring without a front end. There are plenty of alternatives out there (SPB mobile shell, throttlelauncher, etc). They were made for those that don't like plain 6.1. Me, I don't mind TouchFlo3D -- if anything, I can wait until 6.5 finalizes.
GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G -- all of these things tend to drain your battery fast. Not really a CON, it's more of a trivial thing if you've done your research on different phones.
If you really think Windows Mobile is complicated, maybe you are better off with an iPhone. Those are for people who don't put much thought into using a phone with features. It really sounds like you've never operated a phone with Windows Mobile, so I (along with others) would probably suggest you do some testing before buying a phone with a more advanced OS.
The Cobra Tag may help you win that losing battle, acting as a Bluetooth device that attaches to your key ring and connects to your phone, it gives you the opportunity to find the missing item if it's less than 30 feet away.
