The Dpad on the TP1 is the worst piece of design I've ever encountered. One fixed piece of plastic that is supposed to handle at least 8 different functions. I constantly am having problems with key presses being interpreted wrongly:
1. Instead of moving the cursor to the left, it will bring up the call screen.
2. Instead of going to the home screen, it will take me to the call screen.
3. Instead of moving the cursor to the right, it will close down the application I'm in (I guess it thinks i'm hitting end phone call button).
So I don't think I'd miss the dpad very much since I dread using it at all. I miss the mogul dpad, at least they were smart enough to define each key separately with the mogul.
Note: I'm not a TP2 owner, I still have my Sprint TP1 and I'm contemplating a change after just 7 months with this thing.
