Why is there no htc 7 pro section? and how do you think the HTC 7 Pro stand up against the HTC touch pro 2 and Samsung Epic 4G? this is what I wrote to Htc and Sprint!

HTC,
Htc 7 Pro
I would like to know the big difference between the Htc Touch Pro 2 and the new Htc 7 Pro, which is heading to sprint next year, and how does the Htc 7 Pro compare to the Samsung Epic 4G? I have also added a conclusion that people would like to see you take into consideration. It is just a small favor for the small upgrade to what suppose to be the successor to the touch Pro 2.

In conclusion, The Htc touch pro 3 (aka) Htc 7 Pro, which suppose to be more of a business phone, should have a frontward facing camera, at least a micro sd memory card reader for those of us who already have a 16gig micro sd memory card, at least a 4.0 inch screen, and run on the 4G network. I will not mention that the Bluetooth and USB use old technology on the Htc 7 Pro when the new Bluetooth and USB upgraded technology is available. Asking for mobile hotspot and a 1.5 dual core processor would be asking for too much. Most importantly Htc, how does the Htc 7 Pro compare to the Samsung Epic 4G besides the OS?! For those who would like to see the specs of the Samsung Epic 4G with Sprint, go to the Sprint website or Google it.
Notice the full five-row keyboard and big 4-inch screen with a frontward facing camera for video conference. Most importantly check out the specs! So what is the difference between the Htc touch Pro 2 and Htc 7 Pro, and how does it compare to the Samsung Epic 4G?!

It helps to have only half a brain.

Here's where 7 Pro falls short:

--NO SD SLOT!!
--8Gb of memory
--448Mb RAM

No SD slot makes 8Gb very weak. This is supposed to be an enterprise phone but no SD slot. Needs atleast 16Gb or expansion slot.

448 of RAM? That's less than the MyTouch Slide. Needs atleast 576.

The 7 pro has no Multitasking!

HTC almost had me buy this phone when it is out. I just liked its looks and specifications when it was announced.

However, the absence of sd/microsd card slot have made me rule it out of my plans. A very poor decision on the part of HTC - maybe they wanted to please Microsoft their partner, as it seems that all W7P do not support a memory expansion card.

i have the phone and it has 8GB and 576mb ram.

the missing sd-slot ist not a poor choice by htc but a requirement by microsoft to run wp7 on it.
still, i have no clue why this phone has only 8gb

Sprint released the CDMA version of this phone as well. I hope to see a forum section on it, although I'm with AT&T. I hope a GSM version of this phone comes to the U.S. (or Canada) so we can run 3G bands on it.

I loved my Tilt and Tilt 2, so this looks like the next logical step. I presume AT&T won't be happy until they redo the keyboard like every other HTC phone. :-/

Maybe they're waiting for some 4G hardware version (HSPA+ 14.4)? Wouldn't mind that.

Strange: In the opening post, the writer asks the question but doesn't answer it.

So I would like to ask the same question once again: Why is there no HTC 7 Pro Section?
