Background problems...
I had the PPC 6800 titan, loved it. I'd flashed it a few times, had a chance to sell it and move on... so I did.
yet, I thought the pro would be an upgrade, really it wasnt. sure there were some neater OS flashings going on, but I aint really as happy with the pro, cant get the GPS to work until 20 minutes after you try to get it to start, about the time the battery is dead..
So I been trying roms, Im on mighty rom, same issues, except 1st 2 days after Mightyrom and I had tried the PPC geeks kitchens, well it ran seemingly ok, then when I started my trip, about 10 days later, no dice. everything but hard reset has been tried so far. Im waiting to see if I want to try another OS flash or, just dump the device and move on.
Im still unhappy, except now VZW bought out allTel in our area. So the my touch Pro is now having hard times even making calls or working with VZW. {I assume because it is an alltel version, and that is the way VZW is going to treat us former alltel phone users} So anyway, I look around, I can buy a pro2 ready for VZW, not as cheaply, yet IMHO buying it outright, is cheaper than having verizon double my month to month contracts...
Should I do it, you think?
I mean are the TP2's:
much better
or
barely better
or
NOT better than the TP1?
Any advice to a HTC user, that still likes the ideas of the HTC, just not sure I can take another FLUSHING of $$ to end up the same friggin place? I want my GPS and after that, I would be happy to be able to make & take calls, D@mmit! lol
Thanks in advance you all!!  |
Ok, scold him, sure.
At least offer him some advice too. If useful information is only posted ONCE in the forum, when people go looking all they're going to find is endless pages of information. He isn't really going to find an exact, personal answer by searching.
That said:
Yes, please look around next time, BUT...
I just got my TP2 a while ago after having TEN Touch Pros since last October. Needless to say, everything "just works." My only complaint about the thing so far is that I miss the home key, and the windows key on mine is hard to press and doesn't provide feedback - it's probably broken but this is a refurb so I'll live with it till any more major problems show up - if they ever do.
It's been a few weeks and I love it. The battery life is considerably better, the build quality is tons better, it's faster, and most importantly IT JUST WORKS. Google maps AGPS works. Sprint navigation works. SMS works. Calling works. Everything I try just works.
The stock ROM is awesome. I was running build 28015 on my TP, which I miss. It's sucked adapting to WM 6.1 again but I don't want to lose the perfection of the stock ROM. I have not had to soft reset it since I got the phone.
The battery doesn't plummet when I'm in a poor service area like the TP used to do. It still drops more quickly but at my parents house, my TP would go from 100% fully charged to 100% totally dead in under two hours (it was one hour and 51 minutes). It took longer to charge it than it did to let it sit in standby and die.
The touchscreen is nicer to use, requires less pressure.
The thing is just tons better. I haven't run into problems thusfar, nor can I see myself flashing off the stock ROM for quite some time.
I'd say make the swap, you'll enjoy it. But it's only been a couple of weeks for me. My discontent for the first TP took about a month (and three replacements) to develop.
