They are true to size if you have a medium foot width. If your width is larger, grab a size 10.
I'll agree with that

Is it dark blue or that light like in TW's pics. For some reason their pictures are usually off.

Definately a darker blue than the picture, it's a very intense royal blue w/ a tint of turquoise in it.

Thought so. I want those soo bad.
I finally wore them for my practice (hard court, 2 hours).
They defintely felt different than the barricades - somewhat lower and a lot lighter. I really liked the straps on the ankle and the top of the laces, it worked great during the practice and since I like my shoes tight I found the straps really useful. The traction was really great, and in a way I liked the Propulse's traction more than the barricade's. However, it did take me about 30 minutes to break in the shoes, as they felt less cushioned than what I'm used to play with. I can't really comment on durability since I just bought them... but they do have 6 month warranty in case you need it.
Overall, it's defintely a great shoe, and thanks to the Babolat discount I got them even cheaper. But make sure you go try them on, because I think that these shoes are narrow, and won't be as good for players with wider feet.
By the way, I agree with pmacino's colour description...
I didn't really have enough time to try them out, so I'll let you know of any other updates.

Does the ankle strap have any sicnifigance or is it virtually useless.

I does work, definitely brings the ankle a little forward and does secure the shoe around the heel when cinched.

I just ordered a pair size 12. I usually wear a 11.5, but I do tend to like a little bit of space in the toebox. Did I make the right decision or will I send them back and go the 1/2 size down? I thought witht the straps even if they fit big, I could adjust them.

personally, I think that babolat shoes are 1/2 too small. I normally wear 7.5, but 8's fit me, so I think you made the right choice.
Propulse 2's are soooo siiiiiick. I sent in my propulse 1 to do the warranty thing, and I just got propulse 2's in the mail. They're so cool, and I think pretty comfortable too. Just gotta wear out my Barricade V's before wearing these bad boys....

I'm ready to wear them. I'm almost thru the outsole on my GChallenger VII's. I'm getting them Sat. and I still need to return my TAC IV's and get a 1/2 size up.
