[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dark973:
You might find that these reasons suck but I'm sure there are lots of people like myself who are the on the other end not caring if these features are gone or not..

No 3.5 m headphone jack - I doubt I'd EVER use wired headphones on my phone... and I've built up things around this fact. at my desk job I have bluetooth headphones that give me wireless sound... they charge when I'm not at work and they just sit on my desk for when I come back. In my car I have a USB input that not only CHARGES my phone but allows me to play the music and video off my phone to my radio. with the plug that is on the bottom of the phone... but hey ..guess what its 2009! get with the times!

No flash/LED on the camera... - has any LED flash not be so pathetic that it made a difference in a dark room? if you take a dark room/outside at night and use the LED flash you have to be INCHES (talking 1-4) away to even see the effect of the light on the object!... the last phone I've owned with a flash was a 8525 and I only ever used it as a flashlight.

No D-pad or other directional buttons on the front... - this I don't know if I'd miss yet... scrolling and everything can be done with screen slides in nearly every program. then if you really need a D-pad the keyboard has one.

No FM radio/disabled by firmware... - Since I'd never use a wired-headset I'd never use the FM radio and instead stream XM-radio off the internet... this even works on the EDGE network so almost anywhere.

Same processor as the TP. 520mhz qualcom, although the TP2 has an older version !!!!!!!!! -I'm still on a TyTN II (tilt) with its 400 Mhz so the extra 128 will most likely be welcomed to me. and my room mate with a touch pro 1 can do everything I'd want to do with the phone...including video. Sorry bub if you want to run a 1920*1080 video on your phone...but we use 640*480 and it runs just fine. and makes a smaller inprint on the 8-16gb storage cards we use.

Same storage space as the TP. I install like 10 or so programs extra and the only one that requires to be on the phone is TomTom...that said on my tilt I have 57.29 free and i have ALL my ringtones and sounds and all the apps install to the phones memory... I think the touch pro 2 has what 4 times as much?

Same ammount of RAM, although the TP2 has 20mb LESS RAM available to it.I bet your one of those guys who get a computer with 4+GB ram and ***** that vista is using close to 2GB of it... not realizing that it is running better than it ever did with 1GB and you only having 512mb free. Maybe they decided to make WM use more memory to prevent leeks and make it run better? again with my tilt that I haven't rebooted in close to 22 days now hasd 24.34MB free out of 85.63 and I have opera mobile/core-player streaming XM radio and touchflo-2D all open.

TP2 has a better battery than the TP, BUT worse battery life! Now this might be true...but isn't the screen brighter and larger? I'm sure that makes it a hog. AND the phone just came out...I'm sure all these people with the phone are using it like mad because it is a new toy... give it a few weeks for them to die back down to normal usages and I'm sure it might even be better! The owners of the Touch Pro 1 did this (or at least the 3 I know)

I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why this phone was made how it was... but all I really know for sure is the first day ATT sales this phone I will be there waiting in line cash in hand.
