Default Is it worth to go for Touch Pro 2 instead of Touch HD

I currently have Touch HD, and I think I can sell it for a price which covers about 95% of Touch Pro 2 price.
So is it worth it? Is it worth selling my beloved Touch HD and go for Touch Pro 2?
Im a multimedia user, so I like to watch videos and listen to music with my phone!

I would! Ha ha ha...

There are lots of improvements but you have to ask yourself this. Are you ok with the added weight and thickness.

If you are, then I will definitely go for it.

Video is said the be much better on the new TP2.

from the revirew's i've read, the main issue is, if you don't need the hardware keyboard, the hd or diamond2 is the best bet. if you need the hardware keyboard, the pro2 is ofcourse the way to go. i ordered the pro2 for this reason too good luck.

about the keyboard-- Ive learned to type on my Touch HD as fast as on desktop computer!!!

Im more intrigued about the dual speakers and the tilting screen, which would be ideal for waching movies!!!!

BTW--- Hows the wifi reception, is it someway better then on Touch HD?? And is does the speaker outpot good sound when on low frequencies(BASS) ??

LOL that's not too shabby at all.
I'm looking forward to be able to test if the dual speakers will also serve as a pretty useful output for playing of music or getting verbal commands from various navigation softwares.
I only ordered my pro2 yesterday and according to the vendor, it should be available for shipping late this month - so i'm not of more knowledge than what's been said in the youtube review's i've watched (mainly pocketnow.com). i'll be watching intently for someone with more knowledge on these subjects

Just read a review - http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=por...eviews&id=1139
made me thinking, but still I need someone who is holding the device in his hands to write a review or something about the sound capabilities and other multimedia stuff!!!

Well
If you ask this on HD section you would recieve a lot of posts saying No!
But as you posted here...imagine what members would say?

If you prefer a buisness oriented device with a real keyboard go for TP2
If you are looking for a more entertainment device go for HD

If you don't need a keyboard then the HD would be nicer.
Now i have a HD and a TP2, for now there are no custom roms for the TP2 and the standard HTC rom is crap. After a night the device reacts slow and needs a softreset.
With a custom rom (black pearl 2.9 or daviduck 6.1) the HD is more stable and faster.

good luck with your choice. The sound when making a telephoen call is better with the TP2!

I did it last week (changed my HD for TP2) and I have to say that it is definitely worth of change (if as you are saying multimedia user). Better video, speaker is unbelievable, better camera (photos and video recording etc.). Different is, that I definitely needed a keyboard so this was my real drive. But by this I realised many other advantages of TP2. I wouldn´t change it for Diamond 2, but TP2 ruless...WiFi is for me same as on HD.
