As for the rest, it's too early for me to tell. But I can say that I WANT to be happy about it, the Inc is a pretty sweet phone. I'd still prefer a hardware keyboard, but it's probably time I learn to adapt. That's interesting that it's considered the like device, how they put little importance on hardware keyboards I'll never know. A like device to me is the same KIND of device. Same OS and structure, such as a slideout keyboard.
Thanks for the input. As far as the like replacement device, they did offer me an LG Fathom, which is the last windows phone with 6.5.X to be released until WP7 comes out. It has the Snapdragon, but I told them that an LG wouldn't be considered a premium device like my TP2 was. After that they said that they were willing to offer me any phone besides the Droid X. I didn't want the Droid 2 so my only other option was the Incredible, mainly because I knew there were already hacks and custom ROMs readily available for it. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm going to miss my TP2 with Energy Sense 2.1.

Yes there was a HUGE learning curve for me coming from Windows...i am a business man so the keyboard was an adjustment and Mighty ROM with all the hacks was nice...

It has taken me weeks to learn how to root and hack the DINC not that it is bad from stock but when you have been with Mighty you want more. Soon it will be hard to find a hardware keyboard soon I took the leap...bottom-line look at the future it a social world (unfortunately) it is Google & Apple front stage... Will the new Windows 7 phone really be able to compete and create apps in that trashy Zune market...good luck.. The Driod Inc is mega powerful and then there is a whole other world after rooting it...
Yeah, I've been reading since the 7th when I found out I was getting the INC. I believe as soon as I get it tomorrow, it'll be immediately rooted, NAND unlocked, and flashed to the Virtuous ROM over on XDA. I might play around stock for about an hour just to get a feel of the phone and to see how limited the stock VZW ROM is compared to the custom.

Thanks for the replies and clearing up my bluetooth worries guys.
