Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

:) Be very jealous of your Canadian brothern - just picked up my Touch Diamond Pro 2 from Telus - it's HSDPA Capable and GSM quad band capable as well.

Looks like Telus had the device shipped with no Wifi :-/... (FAIL)

Wifi works just fine... I'm an idiot.

Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

Some comments and some questions about this phone.

The TP2 is sex... pure sex... the thing is speedy and although it's a pain in my bum to go back to 6.1 TouchFlo 2 is fantastic... very nice integration.

Now for the "uh-oh" part and I'm sure all you gadget geeks will know how to help.

Telus has decided to disable the wifi functionality on the phone. Is there anyway to check to see if the hardware is actually in there to be activated? (EDITED - it's there... just can't have the PC hooked up while trying to turn it on!)

Second, and this refers to our best pals over at Best Buy. They were the first to pick up the units here in Canada and well... I got a problem. My wife likes shiny things... in a hand-off after my second bottle of Grolsch (ohh great Dutch Beer Gods... you have forsaken my fine motor skills) yes... the batton was dropped... the nice shiny Touch Pro 2 took a tumble to the ground. No screen damage but a nice little nick around the bezzle. While operable boy would I like to take this thing back and exchange it for a brand spankin' new one. I was thinking about rendering this puppy a dumb phone and try to return it for switch-a-roo. Anyone ever try to return a mobile phone back to best buy slightly damaged but inoperable? Yes, I know I am a stinky bum with bad motor skills and I suck :)

Thanks in advance for any advise on both the issues at hand.

BTW - if anyone has any questions about this phone I'd be more than happy to help in soothing your deepest desires.

you dont make any sense. at all
did you get the
touch pro2
diamond2?
do you have a slide out keyboard ?

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

Yeah Whaaaa.....????

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

Does the TP2 grant 3 wishes when you rub it?


As for the WIFI, it should be in there..maybe they hurried the launch and temporarily disabled it?


Edit: Telus site says WIFI is there:

you also fail at where to post. this is in the wrong section.

mods just delete this because he started one in the touch pro 2 forum as well ...

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

its either a touch pro2 or a diamond2 which is it?

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

Oh for comon, I thought we actually had an upgrade :angry7:

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

I just rubbed it... said, fix yourself and it just kind of sat there looking at me...

I think there's a WiFi radio/receiver in there - they just disabled it.

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

Its a TP2.

STUPID I AM... I unplugged the phone from the PC and low and behold the WiFi is there... false alarm.

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

Darn it! look at my Edit on top..if you WIFI doesn't work.. thats a good reason to get Best Buy o exchange it as well ;)

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

then why in your other thread did you call it a touch diamond pro 2? your other thread..you know the one where you posted in the wrong section...yeah that one

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

Yes I called it a Touch Diamond Pro 2... It's a Touch Pro2 for clarification - no Touch Diamond 2's are available in NA as far as I am aware of... I don't believe there is a CDMA Touch Diamond?


" Be very jealous of your Canadian brothern - just picked up my Touch Diamond Pro 2 from Telus - it's HSDPA Capable and GSM quad band capable as well."

Hey Mighty... can't wait for the goods!

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

its touch pro2 or diamond2 and are you crazy to think there is no such thing as a htc diamond? look on the forums. there is a section for them.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

Duplicate threads merged.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

dang, nice! it kinda irks me that the TP2 basically has the same specs as the first TP so its not much of an "upgrade" except for the screen size and some little extra features.

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

well can you edit your OP so there won't be anymore confusion? thx.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

Please don't purposely brick the phone just to exchange it for a shiny new baton. You will make our insurance rates go up.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

BestBuy is the ONLY place you can get the TELUS Touch Pro 2 at this time... $649+Tax with no contract. There is no Diamond 2 in Canada at this time. I am just waiting for FutureShop (sister of BestBuy) to have this phone.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

Not true, I bought mine on Friday at a local Telus dealer (in Calgary).

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

Only certian providers have them in stock.. sadly would take about 1 week for me to get one... Burnaby ...

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

In defense of the original poster, way back when the diamond 1 and the pro 1 were introduced many people called the pro the diamond pro before it was called the touch pro so maybe thats where the op got diamond pro 2.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

the differrence between Diamond and Touch Pro (1 and 2) is mainly the Keyboard and the Memory Slot...

Touch Pro (1 and 2) have sliding keyboard
Diamond (1 and 2) have no sliding keyboard and has build-in memory, because has build-in memory, there is no MicroSD Slot.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

the diamond 2 and the verizon diamond 1 have memory card slots

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

That's strange. Verizon included a memory card slot after they crippled it severely? ](*,)

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!

it seems that verizon ver is different then everyones elses.... they don't have Build-In Memory... Verizon Did something right :).

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

how is the battery life on CDMA...talk time, sprint touch pro was very bad

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

Verizon TP with the OEM extended battery has great life but adds sum bulk, but looks about the best extended battery setup I've seen on winmo phones. Usually they look odd and clunky.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

First off - I did a return on my Touch Pro 2 at Best Buy - yes the scratch was a main reason and I actually installed an app which screwed up the screen shuffling... nothing a quick flash couldn't fix. Yes, I suck but I do have a shiny new phone minus the scratches... BestBuy with that return earned my ongoing repeat business... I shall not buy a phone anywhere else from Best Buy as a token of my appreciation to them and I will continue to spend a ton of toy money there (which they get on a regular basis anyway...)

Much like Nordstroms and Costco - organizations that let me return stuff without a hassle always get my repeat business...

Now on to battery life... wow... I cannot express how nice it is to have the phone unplugged for two solid days without worrying about battery life. I am a heavy user with push email always on and it stays nicely charged. The battery is much larger than the Touch Pro and they have optimized it better than the original Pro.

I'll try to do some speed tests for people in the near future (this was asked of me prior.)

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

Well done on the return. Best Buy is generally pretty good with returns as long as you put up a small fight. I should know, I used to work there and a lot of my friends still do.

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

I don't see all the uproar about the TP2! At first it sounded like a great jump forward but after talking with several tech's with Sprint they said the only real difference between the TP and the TP2 is really the screen. They said the memory, processor, and major internals are the same from the TP, so where is this great difference? Definitely not in price and you can get TF2 off several sites. So until there is a REALmajor jump forward I will keep my TP. Again this is just my opinion.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

That seems kinda wrong to me. Don't drink and play with your new phone. The phone is going to get a nick on it sooner or later, this was your fault, why try and scam one over on them because you want it to look brand spankin new for a few more days?

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

Ladies and Gentleman, I finally picked up my Pro2 today. I can say without a dought, I'm happier than a pig in ****. :headbang:

Re: Touch Pro 2 in HAND (woohoo... uh-oh...)
 

Go to your local T-Mobile store and see if they will let you play with one. Seriously, a world of difference. Much more responsive. You just have to see it for your self if you don't believe it is a true upgrade.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

There is a few differences on the Touch Pro2. They keyboard is dramatically different, bigger keys, less of them. This updated speakerphone technology. I am switching as soon as Sprint comes out with theirs. I also think that taking the D pad off is a step in the right direction.

Re: Just picked up my Touch Pro 2 CDMA!
 

LoL Yea it IS a true upgrade! I had the first TP....It got old really fast! I got the TP2 now LoL sometimes I'll pick it up just to mess with it in some kinda way LoL
