WOW, I can't believe something actually worked. I had to go through some aggravation, sure, but the order has been placed and I'll be getting a TP2 Monday or Tuesday he said in a follow-up email!

The only thing I think is maybe 10% shady, is the 2-year mandatory extension, I can live with it... but I've been out of contract for a long time, and this might screw me if I want to upgrade to the Droid or the HD2 in the future at the discounted price. OH WELL, I can't complain to be honest!

Why on Earth would a company carry a 'specially' made (read: crippled) version of such an awesome phone!? Did they castrate their TP2 as well?

ANYWAY - I AM NOW ANGRY AND FEEL I HAVE A RIGHT TO HAVE THE PHONE I PURCHASED, REPLACED ACCURATELY, SINCE I BOUGHT IT AS AN ALLTEL CUSTOMER BEFORE THE MERGER WAS ANNOUNCED!!!

lmao, gimped phone, at least your getting a tp2

LOL, that's exactly what I said. I bet the people reading my email were rolling their eyes, or getting a kick out of it, haha!

Shoot, whatever works! ("read: crippled") classic.

I am very excited about the 3.5 headphone jack, improved screen, tilt function, and slimmer design. Sure, it's not a MASSIVE step up, but it's a big one... what other differences am I forgetting here? Well, at any rate... good job Verizon (that isn't said much I would assume).

HERE'S THE SCOOP: I was one of the many who was forced into Verizon, back in October, due to the massive merger of the companies; when my original Alltel TP became defective, BUT was still under the 1yr Manufacturer's Warranty, I wrote Verizon an email and they shipped me a new Verizon model TP.

Is there anything I can do!? I HAD NO IDEA Verizon was inferior to Alltel considering the hardware... LESS RAM!?!?!? What the......

The TP2 is alright... after a solid time-frame of use and reflection, I can obviously say it is better than the TP1, but it doesn't hardly seem like a major upgrade or somethign worthy of fan-fair (which is why it wasn't listed on C Net's "Top-10" smart phones of 2009 list). The screen is better, and responsiveness seems faster, maybe the processor is quicker?

I have compiled a list of problems with the TP2 thus-far, and will post them up asap in their own thread - the MOST problematic of which is the fact I have not been able to use the built-in USB internet tethering program with my laptop to get online. I keep getting an error code that says "End Data Call" although I am not on any type of data call, I don't even know what that means.
