Wow,
thanks for all the replies. i've only had my TP2 for a few months and now have some new ideas on how to use my phone. time to dust off the slingbox!
like many of you i have friends and family with Droids and iPhones. unfortunately, i don't have much experience with either to fully compare.
when i first got my verizon TP2, it was pretty bad (constant battery drain, slow, lock ups, etc). but after i loaded MR on it, it was much better at everything. still have a couple of small bugs like the screen not changing when going into comm manager and turning on wifi. but that's normally fixed with just going into landscape mode and back. Or the occasional battery drain after a long gaming session that need a soft reset to clear.
One of the main reasons i chose the TP2 was for it's keyboard. coming from a sidekick, i really wanted a descent keyboard to work with. still not as good as the sidekick, but way better than a motorola droid.
i'm also saving $100s of dollars a year with the TP2.
This forum has been awesome in getting my phone just the way i like it with all the tweak/mod .cabs.
but i especially like the posts that call me a troll.
