Goddammit! I hate HTC... Only about 3 months since I spent NZD $1200 on my HTC Touch Pro, they now launched the Touch Pro 2. I guess that's technology for you. New today, old tomorrow.

I for one, will not be upgrading to this. Apart from the bigger screen & tilt, it nothing else to offer. They've crossed bred the Tytn II or Kaiser with the Touch Pro or Raphael to make the Touch Pro 2. Why not do that in the first place? A lot people on xda-developers forum feel the same. The keyboard has less keys than the Touch Pro. Anyway, it does look really sexy doesn't it?

HTC Touch Diamond 2


The Touch Diamond 2 on the other hand, if by far superior to the original Diamond. It now has an microsd card slot so you can expand beyond 4Gb! I think this is worth the upgrade.
