From a functional standpoint at this point it is just a tool that I use to get the most out of the old cell plan that we have managed to keep for the last several years. I sure hate to give up the free unlimited data and other benefits that the retention people have so generously given us over the years along with the plans advertised advantage - no real penalties for going over our alloted minutes.

I am hoping mostly just for a better internet browsing experience on the larger screen of the TP2 for those times when I don't have a laptop with me. But I am also looking for some new challenges. I started customizing the ppc-6700 the first day that I got it. I am sure the TP2 has a lot of hidden gems to uncover. I am also looking forward to messing around with running android from the memory card. That would seem to give almost unlimited opportunities for cell phone adventures.

These phones and the discussions here remind me a great deal of the computers that I messed with in the early 1980s. I purchased the Timex-Sinclair, the TI-99-4a, the VIC 20, the Commodore 64s, the Atari 2600, the Apples, the Spectravideo SV-328, various Radio Shack computers, and of course the first XT clone that I built from parts. I am a bit of a hoarder and still have working examples of nearly all the above mentioned computers. I can still remember debating the various merits of each with my friends at the time. It may seem a little funny now, but our discussions could sometimes become fairly heated.

It is good to appreciate the merits of all of the amazing devices that we are fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to use and enjoy. Fred Sanford, from the 70s television show Sanford and Son said, "An old woman is like a tube of tooth paste... You can always squeeze out just a little bit more." These computer/phones are like that. Someone will always be able to figure out how to get just a little bit more out of them. Some end up being more memorable than others.

dont listen to chardog he is a known troll and an MS hater,i find it funny how 90% of us on this site haven't experienced the same problems with WM that he's had. go for the TP2,its way better than the vogue (touch) that u have now. or u can wait for the sprint wp7 pro (working title) which will take advantage of the Ev Rev.B upgrade.
