From what I can see it doesn't look like you posted a similar question in the Droid forum. Curious why not??? I know you said you've seen reviews where they bash the TP2...but you're always going to get that. Go to the TP forum and ask if you should upgrade to a TP2 and see what happens
Anyway, it may be worth posting the same questions / issues there. You may get a different set of answers over there and/or a different perspective compared to what you'll get in this forum
