this may really be a case of possibly different hardware. I too felt almost immediately that the TP2 shots were not as good as the TP1 shots. I still have my TP1 and have had the TP2 for about a week. They are both Verizon models.

I took some pictures in broad daylight today with the TP2, trying various settings with ISO and Brightness, and Sharpness under advanced. Upon loading them onto my laptop, they looked pretty bad. Very grainy/noisy, even with ISO at 100.

I loaded up some TP1 shots I had taken outside in sunlight, and they looked MUCH better. I'm posting this in bed from my TP2, but I will try to remember to post some pics up here tommorow. Even my wife agreed though, when I had her look at them but didnt tell her which was which... hands down felt the TP1 shots were cleaner and better colored.

It sucks because otherwise I am loving the TP2!
