Great specs no question. For me the question would be can a device using WM 6.5 run free of past quirks that are a nuisance. If this device was running Android 2.0 I would say "Look Out". I really want to use one of these for a few days so that I can see for myself.

Pictures and Specs sure do look nice tho.

I guess it's like the windows Vista stigma. Windows 7 should help break that. If not WM 6.5 then maybe 7 is Microsoft's lucky #

With specs like these, I'm seriously considering going back to WM. To me, the "past quirks" of WM were no different than the present quirks of the blackberry (i.e, hourglass, random resets). But I will say it is very tempting...

I'm already waiting for my upgrade option to come next March to get the Touch Pro 2 but if the Touch HD2 comes before, I'll have a big decision to make. I have been waiting for WM to get some new phones. Last WM phone I had (3 of them actually) was the HP iPAQ 6315.

I will be using a demo Touch Pro 2 next week to see if I like the interface and the push capabilities. I'm just ready to use something with a better browser and better attachment viewing capabilities.

I am not willing to give WM a try right now, but my son is. He hasn't decided which phone he wants but this is high on the list. I will let him be the guinea pig

Love the new HTC's that picture doesn't really do it any justice. It's different once you hold it. But it's what's inside.
