Re: Getting Bored With TP2??

Totally agree.
My wife has a Moment and I love it - lots of customizing and apps can be had.
And things just work well.
Going to jump ship a soon as Sprint get a decent model (I would prefer slide out keyboard)

if you are bored with it, start making a custom rom. rstoyguy has an excellent thread that explains the ins and outs of making a rom here. you can practically use anybody's kitchen and work on cooking up something fun.

just my 2 cents.
We crazy? Sorry but installing new ROM's doesn't improve how Windows Mobile is. Like I said in my earlier post....Windows Mobile doesn't have jack out there other than tweaks and Cooked ROM's....and to me that just doesn't cut it. Yeah, you may be able to install cabs to the new rom, and get rid of junk but does it really enhance the device anymore than the previous? I really don't think so. Apps for Windows Mobile are few and far between....and most of them that I've looked for are really old, and lackluster. I don't know of any barcode scanner software for the TP2 or Windows Mobile, I also don't see police lights app that I have searched for....But the Android App store has both...and they run great on Android Devices.

Android is gaining on the Apple App store...if you read the post on the main page of PPCgeeks you'll notice Android apps store is predicted to surpass the Apple App store in the future at its current rate... The Interface of Android is much more pleasing, less clunky.

Oh and by creating a new ROM or downloading a new ROM that's un official your actually voiding your phones warranty....Yeah, there are ways of locking your phone but why take the risk? Is it that much better by changing skins, hacking the registry? You shouldn't have to do that to a OS...

HTC Evo here I come!

Not familiar with Android... But I have seen alot of them being flashed in front of my face... I haven't seen much customization though. Do you meaan rearanging the icons and putting them on different pages? I'm curious... Cus I've seen many TP2's and no 2 look alike.
Just wondering. Maybe I'll go poke around in the Android forum.

Thumbs up Re: Getting Bored With TP2??

Well not me because of the ability to plug any headphones and the mic still works it's awesome, able to flash and have your custom looks, I have a car with cassett player where I can just plug my TP2 with a jack and jam to youtube music videos or be able to listen to my conversation instead of bluetooth just plug to the speakers of my car and still talk, able to sync pictures from FB to my contacts, and probably many more options that I love. Is any one else with me???

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??

I still LOVE my TP2.

I wouldn't mind having a multi-touch screen like my ipod touch, but I can't really think of anything else I would change.

Hell, I love upgrading phones as much as anybody but at this time I don't see any other phone I want (I would buy an HD2 if I could, but that's not available on VZ & I will never switch carriers again)

So just to play devils advocate here, when you get the EVO with Android are you going to run it completely stock, not download any programs or change any backgrounds or adjust any settings or root the device? not trying to be degrading or anything like that just would like to know because it sounds like from what you are saying is that changing anything at all is bad?

I think WM is by far the most sophisticated device out on the market because of flexibility. and as far as apps go I am sure most of us know about handango.com and places like that, so WM having a low app store is just crap in my opinion.

Just my thoughts.

haha you complain about hacking the registry? do you even use windows? the registry gets "hacked" every time you change your background, etc. only difference is someone else does the work for you. I mean if you would rather have a toy than a phone, be my guest.

in order to unlock your phones maximum potentials, you have to "hack" the phone itself. want anything awesome on the android? you have to root it. want your iphone to do all this crazy cool stuff? jailbreak it.

all phone providers do is limit their phones capabilities so you are forced to buy the next greatest thing just for that capability.

you want a barcode scanner or a police light flasher? you'll use it for maybe a month and delete it. so arguments are moot. if you make a custom rom, you can make your phone do whatever you want. plus you can have something nobody else has.
