Got the TP2. Loved it the first night, but it's beginning to annoy me.

I don't know if it's my phone that's giving me trouble (please let me know if you guys are experiencing this as well), but here are the cons I'm experiencing:

CONS:

1. Clock and Battery can't coexist together on taskbar (if you choose to display clock on taskbar at all times... you loose the battery status icon).

2. Taskbar/Notifications; u can't click on any of the icons and get actual information. Clicking the taskbar just takes u to the "notifications" screen. The notification screen is a nice feature, but its only good for letting u know u have a new text/voicemail/etc. It doesn't let u check the status of your battery, network, etc.

3. Goes back to "home screen" whenever screen "sleeps"/goes on standby; If you're surfing the net on Opera... or running a program like Skype... once the screen goes off/standby and you wait a minute or so to turn it back on, it resumes back on the home screen (whatever you were working on is closed/hidden/etc.

4. Opera browser doesn't show up on Quick Menu (tab that shows running programs); meaning you have to relaunch the web all over again. Or you can open up the keyboard and push the "internet" button to resume. Both options are VERY inconvinient.

5. Battery is about the same as TP1; from what others were saying, I expected it to last longer. You have to recharge daily.

That's all I can think of at the moment. If you guys know how to correct these problems, please fill me in. Cuz it's really botherinng me.

Like - Screen size

Dislike - Not the phone itself, but lack of full screen support by slingmobile blows.

co-sign there is no point for the time not to be displayed as well as the time and the fact they got lazy with notification bad and not letting you check the battery. But to add on what cons

No drive to feature for address saved to your contacts.
