Re: I'm convinced
This phone like all WM ppc phones is a conundrum. It's a great toy for the geek at heart who likes to tinker but poorly implemented for any concevable market. If the video performance were acceptable, this could be considered a high end consumer device, it's not. If the battery life were significantly better it would be a great business device, it isn't. With WM, it's always "the next version will fix things", but it never does. Hey, how about not having the phone turn on incessantly to tell me the battery is low, accelerating it's demise? I'm also not too happy with HTC. Each of the 3 HTC devices I've owned has had significant design flaws that are never addressed. I've owned 3 models, but I've had 8 units! The TP battery life is so bad, I now carry 3 batteries with me for heavy use days. The keyboard lag and slow transitions from portrait to landscape should not exist, period. Then there are the oily spots, the failing keyboards and the creaky battery covers. I admit I enjoy constantly tinkering with the phone to improve its performance and function. I also hate that I have to constantly tinker with my phone. I could never recommend a TP or any WM device to someone looking for anything other than a toy to tinker with. I have fought with WM for years and frankly, I'm done. When it's time to replace this phone, I'll look to Android, maybe the Pre or take a step back in functionality with hopefully a step forward in reliability with a BB.

Re: I'm convinced
As I stated earlier, I love my TP's but they are definitely NOT for everyone.
I have a 20 year old son who is in College (but is not a geek at all) & I gave him one of the TP's to try out for a while. His main thing is texting & he can text faster on a T9 phone keypad than anybody I've ever seen (it is amazing to watch). He used the TP for a month or so & decided he hated it. He went out & bought a new Verizon eNv 2 & he absolutely loves it. The eNv is the ultimate for super fast texting (it responds instantly/never lags even for a split second), is much easier to take a good picture with & works perfectly as a phone & that's all he really needs.......... ~John |

Re: I'm convinced
I will say that when I first got my TP I returned it due to poor battery life. It is very hard on the battery. I don't think anyone will argue that. After looking at the other sprint phones including the Samsung Instinct this is the best phone Sprint has to offer. I believe what HTC should have done is provided a extra battery and charger like the Samsung Instinct. After flashing the radio and using Might Mikes R3born ROM the battery life is acceptable. Turning off things like WiFi, Beam, and Direct Push I can get pretty good life out of the battery. Turning these options on when needed will extend battery life. For example I turn Direct Push off when I'm in the office and on when I leave. I do feel these are things I should not have to do but have come to the reality that, that's just the way it is.
I have not had issues with lock ups or freezing at all. The phone is very responsive and quick to load apps and switch between tabs. My previous phone was a Moto Q9c if you want a phone with windows mobile and great battery life its probably the way to go. |

Re: I'm convinced
I agree 110%. The TP is the sizzy. You just have to customize it to make it work the way you want it to. And that, my friends, is the beauty of windows mobile.
