Re: amidst all the hating, a nice article about the touch pro 2!
The weakness of the TP2 isnt the features. When the Windows Mobile decides to work, the phone is a powerful device. Unforuntately WM runs like crap and it takes ridiculously long to accomplish basic tasks. Dialing, texting, running programs.. all slow as molasses.
Yesterday I wanted to forward an email from my phone.. unfortunately I was on the text screen and the phone decided to freeze. I had to take out the battery and reboot the phone. In that time, I booted up my company laptop, connected into the VPN, and fired up Outlook/Exchange to get the email.
The TP2 really needed HD2 power to run decently. As it stands now, the phone is an embarrassment IMO. The only thing keeping me from spend 600 bucks on a new Droid X is the fact that LTE handsets should be out sooner or later. Dont want to drop all that cash and be a "G" behind..
I used to try to defend the TP2 when all my friends break out their iphones and android devices, but now I dont because I just get clowned. Usually Im like, "Big deal, I can do that too!" and then I try to do something and everyone's standing there for 30 seconds with a "Well?!?" look on their face as the TP2 struggles to run bing or perform a search on Google Maps.
