If you were looking for a keyboard less version the HTC Touch HD is a very nice solution, but I think the speakerphone on the back and the keyboard are really nice additions and worth the weight and size difference..

I am using the HTP2 with AT&T. No problem, but of course, if I need support, I'll go to my retailer. P.S. I am using the HTP2 with AT&T.

The serious business software that I have used for the past 6.5 years on my HP iPaq simply has not been developed for the iPhone. (Of the 65,000 apps, most are games.) Example: Pocket Quicken for the iPhone is totally inadequate to do serious financial reporting in multiple currencies. It cannot be compared to the Windows Mobile version which runs about $40; the iPhone toy version is a free download. That should tell you something. So I took it back and ordered an unlocked HTP2. Not quite as smooth on some things as the iPhone, but it does the work, and some things work better. And I don't need the little keyboard. (I'd like a foldable Fellowes keyboard like I had for the iPaq!) Transcriber has greatly improved (more like Calligrapher) since CE 3, and you won't find that on the iPhone. If you want a GSM world phone with a large beautiful screen that can do the work, get the HTP2. I took my iPhone back after 4 days.

I have a universal and an Experia X1 and i find the keyboard too small on the Experia. I was thinking the TP2 looks small in the shots compared to the universal, i've seen pics of the thoth and this looks great. I will have a play when it comes out on Vodafone UK anyways :) Can you guys find out when the HTC Thoth is going to be released?

Sorry for any confusion, but to the best of my knowledge the US Government doesn't forbid it. :-) @markntravis – When I said “if you are lucky enough to live in a country that allows them, which I am not.”, I was referring to the fact that as of yet, we do not have the infrastructure in place (whereas much of Asia/Australia/Europe does).

Clinton, you mentioned something about it coming to AT&T in a few weeks...is that conjecture or have you heard something about it coming sooner than the fall (which is what I had heard)?

If there was one that might be able to tempt me away from my iPhone, that might be it. The form factor looks really sleek and nice, as does the screen. I think I am too used to my iPhone now to switch back, though. :-) That is an *awfully* pretty WM device! If there was one that might be able to tempt me away from my iPhone, that might be it.
