I need a new Sprint phone to use on Boost CDMA, and I can't use a WebOS or Android. I'm debating between the Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2. I can find the former for about $120 and the latter close to $200 used. If there's another good option please let me know. Here are the criteria.
1. Wifi and ability to use as a router
2. 3G data (I don't have as much patience for pages to load as I should)
3. A good camera, especially for indoors
1 and 2 are definitely met by these two phones. I know 2 and 3 would be satisfied by a Blackberry Tour, but not 1 as far as I know. I've read that the touch pro and touch pro 2 use the same camera, and in fact the same processor, but that the touch pro has a flash and the 2 doesn't, and also that the 2 is snappier and is a better experience to use overall. I'm willing to shell out a little more for the touch pro 2 if the camera is as good as the one in the touch pro indoors. My current phone, a treo pro with a 2.0 megapixel camera and no flash, takes pretty lousy indoor shots, at least for my needs, (mostly close-ups of papers, i.e. as a scanner, and photos of work on white- and chalk-boards). I've also seen that some touch pro 2's don't work on boost, but I can sort that out once I've decided on the best device.
Does anyone have experience with both these phones, or another I can use with Boost CDMA that meets the criteria? Thanks a lot.
