Touch Flow is probably a big reason why the HTC Touch Pro is selling out while 800w's are not. But put a Touch Flow styled interface on the 800w and it's going to be slower. Leaving the results with the HTC Touch Pro on top. For me it's about seeing what the hardware can do with similar configurations. But for most of the buying public, they're pulling the HTC Touch Pros off the shelf and could care less about whether it's a little slower with the Touch Flo on, we do agree that's why it sells.
On a similar note, personally I continue to enjoy Kinoma Play because I enjoy the ease of navigation. Other people love CorePlayer, because it uses less resources.
For the author of the review (VibrantRedGT), the speed difference with Touch Flo on the HTC Touch Pro was not enough for him to desire keeping his Treo 800w.

I have a question. If I were to swap out my number to a new phone, will the older phone still be usable? Or will it require some sort of 'cleansing'?
No, your old Treo 800w won't be usable as a "phone", given the number will be assigned to your new HTC Touch Pro. (To use that old 800w as a "phone" you'd need to get it another number.) But you will still be able to use the Treo 800w as a PDA and WiFi device. You could even try playing with the GPS and let us know if you can get it running .
