This touch pro 2 is close to perfect

I got a touch pro last year and was slightly disappointed when it arrived, it was smaller than I expected, and smaller than my friends' iphones.

Probably six or seven replacement touch pros later, the guy in the store tells me he's ordering a new one since my keyboard conked out. I come back, he goes to the back, takes my touch pro, and hands me a touch pro 2, without a word. As if that's normal.

I take it and say thanks.

Now, get home, put the energy rom 21905 with the cookie and glass theme, and twenty four hours of customization later, I can barely imagine what could make it better.

The battery life seems long. The screen is ****ing gorgeous, I've put a really deep, high contrast wallpaper that makes it look even better. The keyboard is huge. I'm still used to the touch pro keyboard, so typing will get much faster as I become accustomed to the bigger keyboard.

The speaker is loud, and I could play a song for my friends without it sounding tinny. Haven't used the speakerphone yet but I've heard the speakers, so I know how that's going to turn out.

One thing would make this perfect.

Is there a way to split the screen? So I could send a text message at the same time I watch a movie?

The screen is big enough that we can start talking about multiple windows showing at the same time.

I figure it would be just my luck that a cab has been made a long time ago that will do just that, so I have no choice but to run it by you guys.

No split screen that I know of and I have been using WM for close to 10 years. Thanks for the write up, its nice to see positive experiences.

Re: This touch pro 2 is close to perfect

I thought mine was perfect after months of tweaking also, until I got an EVO.... WM and the TP2 now look like ancient relics in comparison. WM7 and WindowsPhone have a loooong uphill battle to reclaim market share from iPhone and Android.

Re: This touch pro 2 is close to perfect

Really LIKE my TP2 especially after my lil ole TP1. Sadly Sprint service is weak where I use it most and the insist I am in "Great" coverage area. So I guess I will eventually kiss my TP2 goodbye and swap to Cellular South and cry a little over losing my keyboard.

I will of course attempt to flash it to Cellular south once I get their service, although I have NOT heard of this being done or successful ever before. Guess I will go with HTC Desire - but NOT because I want to lose my TP2!

Re: This touch pro 2 is close to perfect

Yeah the TP2 can be pretty great when it's customized right. As for your comment about the speaker, I also noticed it seems to play higher bitrate songs better (so do the stock HTC headphones). It just has a much more crisp sound to it, much better than an iPod. The only phone I've ever owned that had a sound that could rival it was my old Sony Ericsson, but as many of you remember I'm sure you know that the speaker was the ONLY good thing about that phone

Re: This touch pro 2 is close to perfect

I feel just like you OP. My TP2 was always good in my opinion, but now it is absolutely PERFECT, and only after a few tweaks (didn't even take me an hour)! I've been hanging around the forums just trying new roms just for the fun of it.

I'm running Mightyrom Full Force with a few cosmetic tweaks to Manila 2.5. The TP2 i awesome!

Yeah. Touch Pro 2 is a solid device. Customizable, versatile and lots of freaking fun. Try and take my wallet.
