In fact, that alone is the single biggest reason why I think everyone criticizing and poo-pooing this phone (especially if they haven't even held one in their hands) should either upgrade or shut up about it, because let me be as blunt as I can be on the matter... you have no idea what you're missing!

I was going to do a full point-by-point review, but so many others have done great jobs already that it's just redundant to do so. My attitude is that this is the Windows 7 equivalent in the smartphone world. Mogul was XP, Touch Pro was Vista, and TP2 is Windows 7. That's the best analogy I can think of right now.

It's what I wanted from the TP1 and didn't get.

I agree completely........ And, well said.

I will add this;

I was not into my current contract long enough to get a discount on my TP2, so i had to pay full price, $670 something - delivered.

AND it was worth every penny!

There was a lot I liked about my TP1, of which i had 3 (after returning the first just 2 weeks into owning it, and getting a third after the second went swimming one day), but I was very disappointed in it.

Flakey is a word that comes to my mind when I think of my 3 TP1's. Like when you type the "R" key in the contact window and it dials whatever contact that happens to be highlighted at the time. The battery life was dismal to say the least, and that’s after applying the battery tweaks, blah blah blah........... It did some very cool things, things that made me money, but, I was disappointed in the TP1. Can’t tell you how many times it almost got smashed up against a wall.

TP2 is a different story. I got mine yesterday about lunch time, stuck it right on the charger and started playing with it about 8 hours later. So far, it has been wonderful, a totally different experience. Much better build quality for sure. Battery life is way better! And I mean way better. The bigger screen is so much better it amazing. Software is configured in a much better way. The no d-pad is different, but I am already getting used to it. Much like not having all those switch's/buttons that were on the Mogul with the TP1.

When I was this far into my new TP1 I had already found a number of things that I did’t like about it, not so with my new TP2, not at all.

It is a TOTALLY different/way better phone.

Love it!

Hope this helps.
