I went onto a T-Mo store and the guy handed me the TP2 to play with. He said, I am not a fan of WM because I just don't get how to use it. Well if a sales person who works in a cell store does not have the patience to learn the device, how many average everday cell phone users are going to have a clue. It is the same reason why so many companies go with Blackberry's. It is just easy to use and they just don't freeze and have issues like a WM device.

If I wasn't a phone geek, I wouldn't deal with these things either. WM devices are the most unstable, non-people friendly, always having to worry if your phone is frozen in your pocket and that's why you didn't get a call all day, or if the alarm will go off in the morning or just decide not to work type of machines....

Now with that said, I will be purchasing a TP2 because I like having a device that people have no clue how to use and have it do everything I need. I am not overly excited though, because once the large screen wears off, I will basically be down to the same features as my Diamond. I think the next round of devices are the ones to get excited about!

I disagree. What some of you fail to realize is the stock roms these phones came with worked pretty damn good not perfect but pretty damn close. The do what they are suppose to we just always want to push it to the max. A lot of those issues you just mentioned are issues that cooks have created by tweaking and modifying things. My phone rarely freezes and i never worry about missing calls. The problem is the cell phone carriers need to teach the employees to not be bias. The employees try and sell you phones they like and the ones they like are the ones they are knowledgable about. I just laugh when i walk into a store and then try and tell me what a phone can and cannot do. Because most of the time they are completly wrong. example: before the pre came out a rep try to sell me on the point that you can have multiple web pages open at the same time on the pre's browser. I said dude i have been able to open multiple web pages on windows mobile phones for a while now and he said "are you sure" i said yeah and showed him. He was suprised. And this is something small. Carriers need to train there employees on all these phones and help the customers find a phone that fits the customers needs. Windows phones are not that complicated. If you know how to use a computer you know how to use a windows phone. The complicated part is flashing and tweaking which most people probably wouldn't do. Windows just need to make it look more flashy which windows mobile 6.5 and 7 will take care of.
