Re: Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates !
I don't know why the Fathom has such bad reviews I love the phone. I think it's twice the phone the Touch Pro2 is. I bought a Touch Pro2 and a Fathom and used them both for about 2 months. I was so sick of the Touch Pro2s lags that I sold it. I tried 3 different roms, plus the stock and they were all slow to me. I loved the 3.6" screen, the sensitivity of the screen, and HTC Sense, but couldn't take the processor. I even tried overclocking the processor, but nothing helped.
The fathom has a more crisp screen than the Touch Pro2. Yeah, it's smaller, but it's not THAT big of a deal. The keyboard slides out way better than the Touch Pro2 and the accelerometer is 50 times faster than the Touch Pro2.
You just can't beat that Snapdragon in the Fathom. The internet was WAY faster on the Fathom too. There are only two things that bother me on the Fathom. One is that there is no dedicated period, which you get used to really fast. And secondly is the Arcsoft text messaging, which can be easily removed with a few reg edits found on this site.
