My phone is 2 1/2 years I am ready for a upgrade. Since I am going to get a pro 2, I thought I would get the phone that sinks with the pro. The 1820 will be a MS phone and I can wait 3 months for it. I have a Sony CX 760 V camcorder and I hope the pro 2 allow me to record and view in one step, something the ipad will not do. I am retired and travel a lot. I am not concerned about the cost as much as getting a set up that works. Thanks Steve.
