OP, you typed all that from your TP2? (I saw on the top it say "Wirelessly posted"). Awesome!
I love the TP2. Got it a few days after the Verizon release, friend got his VZW a few days before me, and another friend got his Sprint a few days before that. We both came from TP1's, (I came from an XV6700 > XV6800 > TP1 > TP2), and each step has shown big improvements! Although, I think I take all these advancements for granted - there are so many great features of the phone that aren't taken into consideration, but I definitely appreciate them more and more. Each phone, HTC comes out in strides, although some people really tend to bring attention to the minute faults).
Quick note, I saw a comparison of the N97 to the TP2, and I some people complain the tilting screen is too "loose", I don't think it's too loose, but after comparing it to the N97, I suppose I see what they mean. But look how ugly the tilting mechanism is on the N97! I'm very happy with the way ours tilts. I love our dual speakerphones, dual microphones (for speakerphone use), I also love the speaker grill - very attractive! (especially compared to the TP1), the phone looks and feels high quality, great ergonomics, chrome trim around the camera, etc... aesthetically... it's amazing! Slide out keyboard - each phone gets better and better. Keyboard buttons - I think everyone will agree these are very attractive, easy to use, doesn't stick, and presses all the time (sometime 'A' and 'FN' on my last phones wouldn't press).
Absolutely love this phone, and I'm happy to pay the premium price I pay for my VZW service (can't have an awesome phone on a cheapo plan with no data). I don't really have too many complaints. I do agree WM6.1 is outdated (I had it 2 phone generations ago (XV6800), and I do like the improved Touch Flo 3D 2.1 on our phones, but I am drooling over 2.5/2.6! Although I'd like to point out, HTC has once again come out strong with their Touch Flo 3D improvements over each of their phones.
My only complaints: no flash, no camera button (how can I take self portraits, lol), and for some reason, the camera really isn't good. N97 has a 5MP Carl Zeiss? We need an advanced camera app, the HTC app is weak, basic, and doesn't take good pics. But I'm confident they will fix this in the future.
Awesome phone!!!!!
