Touch Pro 2 or HD2?

---

Hi,
I live in Sydney, Australia.
I've owned a HTC Topaz until i sold it to my dad to upgrade to a better HTC phone.
I'm tossing up between waiting until the 11th of November and ordering the HTC HD2 from www.clove.co.uk or to purchase a Touch Pro 2 from ebay.

I just require general advice on which would be a better investment.

Thanks,

Harry.

HD2 without a doubt. plus the specs garantee that it wont be outdated in a while... unlike the TP2 since a 528 CPU will only take you so far

depends if you need a Keyboard mostly

Thanks Mike, that was one hell of a quick response.
After the Topaz I was itching for a keyboard, but i think you're right.
The snapdragon processor will last quite some time and it outweighs my need for a keyboard.
I'm sure HTC can fit a decent touch keyboard on a 4.3 inch screen.

Plus if you're ever doing major work on it, you can just buy a bluetooth keyboard for it.

Still don't know about the capacitive touch screen. Most devices I've played with that have them seem to be too sensitive and at the same time less accurate.

I wish they were releasing the HD2 in the US.

Could i get one more piece of advise please - which site would be the best to buy the HD2?

Reasonable postage + pricing would be great.

the keyboard on the TP2 is great...have used onscreen keyboards for the last 5 years and now would not go back ...if you do a lot of text input (emails etc) then go a TP2 plus the business slant is great for organising work and play... the real question should be, want a real keyboard or not... the speed of text input will out play any gain by the faster processor of the HD2... now a HD2 with a TP2 type keyboard & under 170 gms... that would be a killer device

No hardware kwyboard
Not an option for me

TP2 is the best hardware keyboard device to this date

I have the TP2 from Telstra and really like the phone. It has the keyboard which is the main reason for me choosing it. Apart from this, the phone's screen is big and bright. And the performance is snappy. What I don't like is the Telstra theme. But I have changed to a Hero theme which I am very pleased with. So all in all, I am happy with my choice.

HD2 is just a TP2 with out a keyboard (as bloggers who have it are saying)

Ok you get a more ram with the HD2 and a thin device (kinda)

But you pretty much just between Keyboard + touchscreen or no keyboard and full touchscreen

at the end of the day its up to you. pick what you want.. remember your on a forum with users who have both devices and going to stand behind they phone and defend it so all you going to hear is users with HD2 saying "GET THE HD2" and users with TP saying the same thing
