I was a palm lover for years starting with the 650. COuld do a lot of work witht hat phone. Switched to WM with Samsung i760. Lots of pain in making that transtion. But hung in there and mastered it. Now with TP2 am loving it. I too am VZW. I too did not like the TP2 out of the box. Almost took it back for the Droid
But then I installed the cleanup cab found as stickie here. Made all the diff in terms of no more screen lag. Fixed tons of other stuff too. HTC owes goodthings2life for my still carrying this phone. Check it out... cleanup... otherwise I am stock and staying that way...
