Re: Gone to the Incredible

Didn't mean to start a war between the two platforms. Just like WindowsMobile, there are different versions of the OS. The Incredible comes with the latest, 2.1, and is about to upgrade to 2.2 which is due out in a few weeks. Older versions of the Andriod OS has shortcomings with email and such, but the newer versions have fixed these issues. I sometimes miss the hardware keyboard, but the predictive text on the Incredible makes typing so easy and fast. I am getting used to it and it's only been a week. And now, I have Swype installed and have been playing with it quite a bit. Takes a little getting used to.

When I pick up my Touch Pro 2, seems like it takes FOREVER to do anything. The Incredible happens instantly! HUGE speed difference! The TP2 seems like visiting my grandparents- I love them and miss them, but it's a much slower pace around their house. The Incredible is like touring around in a luxury italian sports car, fast and sweet! I had to reset my TP2 about 2-3 times EVERY DAY! I have YET to reset my Incredible since I've HAD IT! It just works! And my bluetooth hasn't dropped since I've had the phone either! It would drop 10 times a day with the TP2! Ever misdial someone on the TP2 and try to hang up fast???? Wouldn't happen! Happens instantly on the Incredible, both from the phone AND the bluetooth headset!

The Incredible has been reviewed on ALL the major gadget/smartphone websites and has the highest marks! That NEVER happened with the TP2. And I'm NOT Dissing the TP2! I LOVE my TP2! That is, until I got the Incredible... Now, I only turn it on to use as a hotspot for my laptop so I can talk to the client on the Incredible and connect to their computer using the TP2 on my laptop at the same time.

Seems sad to leave my old friend in my laptop case all day, but it just couldn't cut it anymore. It's short-comings were causing me too much grief and aggrivation.

I will replace the Incredible one day too, but for now, it's the baddest phone out there. Just read the reviews...
