I have the HDC HD2 and if it had a QWERTY I would consider it to be the last phone I would ever buy simply because it does all I need it to. I'm not buying into WM7, The iphone or even android. I have no interest in loosing the number of file formats I can handle. Its bad enough I had to give up resistive for a hyper sensitive capacitive touchscreen & loose my QWERTY Keyboard all in the name of a better camera, more user friendly OS & faster processor but the Buck stops here! I'm not moving anymore as their is nothing else I want but a god dammed QWERTY on my HD2! I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If htc made it a good planner phone, for scheduling, and meetings, etc, keep the stylus pen and slide out qwerty keyboard Htc would get a lot of sales. I would never get the new Samsung Epic I hate SAMSUNG and all there other products they suck. HTC needs to compete and bring out there new phone. Anyone agree. I want a new HTC TOUCH PRO3 bad, never owned a HTC phone but I'm hoping HTC is the future for me I want there PDA I know they can match the samsung epic and they will. This HTC TP3 will be the bomb when its out. I'll be the first one to purchase it thats for sure.

After being impressed with the speed of the HD2 but disappointed with the build quality and lack of both a harware keyboard and TV-Out..........I went back to my TP2. Also after playing with the clockspeed and running the TP2 overclocked at anyhting above 672MHz yields fluid response. The lag is gone and the interface feels refreshed almost feeling as smooth as the Capacitive HD2 and the animations move at almost the same speed it is amazing. But that also causes it to hang when certain apps are opened or calls are placed.( Reason the HD2 isn't as fast as it should be is 1) Drivers and 2)WinMO 6.5 or Windows Mobile in general wasn't ment to be run on a Capacitive screen so there are a lot of conflicts that need to be addressed. I agree HTC should not stray from the TP2's design....... While it may appear bulky- I think a larger screen screen would be too much device to carry around if we want to retain the tilting hardware keyboard. I also don't feel it really needs a camera larger than 3.2 Megapixels............How many of us can afford a display to view 3. 2 megapixels natively on 1:1 pixel count.............I myself could not. However I would prefer if they had a Carl Zeiss camera with proper drivers and a decent flash. As for the screen I prefer either a multi-touch resistive or the hybrid capacitve-resitstive screen ( <a href="http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/hybrid-capacitive-and-resistive-touchscreen-brings-best-of-both" target="_blank">http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/hybrid-capacitive-...</a> ) even though RIM applied for a patent for the latter. Specs any Snapdragon would be fine preferrably the one that allows for TV-Out and has the better battery life. Enlarge the battery's capacity........and what the heck offer it in multiple flavors. One with Android and one with Windows Mobile................... And if they could they could possibly sell it as a developer's type phone and just make a CDMA-GSM World Phone.................I'm sure that there are enough people that would appreciate the device to justify buying it without a contract and just purchasing it unlocked. It would be perfect..........heck they can just skip the 3 mniker and call it the Touch Pro Elite +1 @SnittyKitty

My 20 year old stepson has the HTC HD 2 (Leo). I love his device with one exception; a physical keyboard. For the life of me I do not understand why HTC didn't simply upgrade the Touch Pro 2s hardware and bring it up to speed with the Leo in the exact same form factor as the TP2 and call it the Touch Pro 3 (TP3). Do I think there's a market for a smaller TP2; yes, the damn thing with my Body Glove hard case is the size of a brick and about as heavy too. A smaller "business" phone or consumer "true" smartphone does have its place but calling it the Touch Pro 3 is just plains stupid. Upgrades go up, not backwards.

A non-starter. People who buy on of these want a keyboard - why deny them a proper keyboard and go backwards? The photo shows a four-line keyboard. A non-starter.

HTC will still release phones and I think any Touch Pro 3 will be a massive improvement. It will likely be similar in size to the HD2 and better specs, there are some dream mock ups out there on what I'd like in a phone but I have to be realistic. 1ghz+ Snapdragon 512MB Rom 8GB Storage 4"(minimum) Multitouch Sliding hardware keyboard only thinner Tilting screen 5mp camera (minimum with flash) 2100Ma Li-Ion battery These are necessary minimal specs IMHO, on top of this I would like to see Built in mobile projector 12mp Carl Zeiss Xenon Flash Camera WM6.5.X NRG Rom ;) For those of us wanting the WM6.5.X experience I think we will still get it for at least a couple of years, yet.

1ghz+ Snapdragon
512MB Rom
8GB Storage
4"(minimum) Multitouch
Sliding hardware keyboard only thinner
Tilting screen
5mp camera (minimum with flash)
2100Ma Li-Ion battery

These are necessary minimal specs IMHO, on top of this I would like to see

Built in mobile projector
12mp Carl Zeiss Xenon Flash Camera

WM6.5.X NRG Rom ;)

Owning now a htc touch pro (Raphael) My next phone will be most probably be the HTC touch pro 3. Was thinking about HD 3 but still bit worried about the capacitive screen not to mention lack of hardware keyboard. Whatever OS will be present I´ll take for granted then and if not happy i´ll wait so i can HSPL it and go back to WM6.5 Oeh forgot the most important part though hehe.

I accidently start up things on my girlfriends android phone, you need japanese sausages during winter times. I think future developed multi resistive touchscreens would be very big competition compared to capacitive screens still. Further more I tried capacitive screens but i can´t get used to it.

Have you seen the demo´s? They are primarily targetting youngsters and young adults who extensively make use of community networks like, blogs, facebook, twitter and what not. No doubt this new OS will be very handy and appealing in that perspective. For me however I want to use it for work and so i don´t need to carry around a laptop. The latest builds of WM6.5 will do nicely for me. I love to tweak my phone and install beta apps. I flash my phone once a week and still are able to use it for work. With WP7 what i hear is that only apps through the market can be installed. both internal and external sd will be jumbled together data wise and you don´t know on which sd particular data is present. All these factors might be for the better for most consumers but not for me. I want to be in control of my phone.
