...its kinda a mental trauma with me an ME >.> lol anyways... QUOTE]
It is very frustrating when you buy a product that does not deliver. I know others who were unhappy with ME. Some advertised features such as system restore didn't really start working well until after they matured in XP. Thinking about it... there are some parallels between ME and the TP2. ME was basically an orphaned OS just as WM 6.5 currently is. And I am sorry for getting a little confused as to who said what in the discussion.
I am not sure about the new $10/month fee that will be assessed by Sprint on all new phone activations for devices with a "robust operating system". I suppose it makes sense on many levels. I am just gald that I probably will not have to pay the new fee anytime soon. But it will be a strong incentive to keep the TP2s for a very long time. I should probably thank someone at Sprint for this altruistic effort to keep my ETF (Electronic Trinket Fever) in check for the next couple of years.
