I've had my HTC TP CDMA for about a month now. I was at first really impressed. I had a BB Curve before this and I wasn't sure I would like this TP. I have vasilated back and forth between optimistic and seriously thinking of switching back to my BB.

I have stayed with the TP so far plowing my way through websites to figure out how to use the phone.

First fix had to be the butt/accidental just about anything and everything. It seemed like it got to the point if you looked at the phone it launch opera or something. I have unlimited data time buy I bet if there are people out there that have minute plans they are going to be surprised by their first bill.

So then I went through the whole .net 3.5 installation, bought pocketshield and although I haven't used it much so far....I already am convinced it was worth 6 bucks. This program has some serious thought built into it and very user friendly.

So. As of today I'm looking for the audio file I had seen...going to give that a try since I can't hear the phone with/without speaker phone on.

Another thing that I think was never thought through by HTC regarding the locking and unlocking of this phone is that if you are outside in the sunlight with a screen protector more than 2 days old.....you can absolutely forget finding the unlock button since the screen is so dark its hard to tell if the phone is on or if maybe your batteries went dead....

Not having to deal with that alone was worth 6 bucks.

So anyway....I still haven't decided if I am keeping this thing..... but so long as I can find apps to make it actually useful....I'll stay optimistic.

Next venture....is new ROMs....just not sure I"m ready for that just yet....I need this thing to work everyday...I can't afford to be without it if I screw it up. Well.... I could also switch back to the BB Curve
