But there was a turning point when my phone failed on critical instances. I am privileged to work anywhere I want, and when my phone started to fail when my boss contacts me, that's pretty huge since I occasionally deal with mission critical server issues.
there is no question there are better phones out there that trump the tp2 in almost every single way, like the iphone 4. If the iphone 4 were available on sprint(and sero users) @ the same price as the tp2, I'm positive it would sell at a ratio of 100 to 1 compared to the tp2.
a biased reinforced opinion doesnt necessarily mean it's wrong btw. For you, the TP2 is the best phone out, and you have no choice but to stick with it.
saying that the tp2 vs android vs apple debate is subjective is a little misleading.
Here is a more simplistic analogy: who is hotter? Sarah Jessica Parker(TP2) vs Candice Swanepoel (Android) or alessandra ambrosio(Apple)... the only reason you would care for parker is because she's loaded.
you're a slow adopter. The tp2 is around 150 used, but I wouldnt be so fast to get it if the ppc 6700 works for you. I have a ppc 6700, and I've fiddled with it. Fairly responsive minus the eye candy and some apps. if you dont care for all the social apps and integration, and care only about a functional phone with emails and text, the 6700 might be the way to go. the lightweight interface keeps it snappy, where the tp2 gets kinda laggy.
It was a downgrade for me, upgrading from a motorola q9c. Constant tweaks to get this thing up to the stability of the q9c, which wasnt very stable to start with. I had lowered expectations moving from one WM os to the other. I understand that price is a factor in moving towards modern devices, hence my wife is using a feature phone on sero...... I've encouraged her to stick with it, rather than to have major frustrations most wm users have.
I'm in another country and using a sim card, so I had to use my pair of iphones. It's my wife's first time using it, and she's fine with it. It gets the WAF(wife approval factor) award. If I gave her the tp2, she'd probably have switched to a feature phone.
ultimately, you will have a modern looking device, that does not quite live up to modern phone standards, and compares quite poorly in comparison. Not much of an upgrade from your ppc 6700.
