Re: How do you like your Touch Pro?

I just switched from a mogul. I really miss all my buttons, and the jog wheel.
The d-pad on the TP only goes up and down, yes it is touch sensitive, but I have contacts with 4 or 5 numbers, I just like to be able to press left or right to get to where i want to go. I can look, know I have to go left 3 times, or what not to get to the correct number. Now I have to learn that a whole different way.
The jog wheel and OK button I really miss a lot.
Finding a contact, scrolling pages and menu's were great with the jog wheel.
The okay button was a good all around exit, or menu answer. Now you have to click on the OK with the stylus. Yes, it's a touch screen, but you know how hard it is to hit that little okay box while your driving with your finger or thumb?
I would much rather have the home button and the back button turned into start and okay, like the mogul.

I haven't really got to experience the touch sensitivity of the d-pad yet. It seems like its usage, zoom, is really more irritating to me. I constantly zoom by accident. I rarely want to zoom in and out that easily, and didn't mind using a menu to do it in opera before, it was simple and quick, and i knew my results by a numbered percentile.

The middle button the d-pad seems like a pretty neat all around button. Very nice action on it. I'm happy with that button.
The call button and the end button. They really need to stop associating things like "flight mode" or "menu" with these buttons.
Call should always bring up the phone screen, and the end button more of an exit, like other phones, and end call only!!!!
for a 600 dollar phone, I do not need to hold the end key to turn airplane mode on. I'll most likely have plenty of time to use my stylus before I get on the plane.
Oh, you like to do it in your pocket, so you don't get calls? TURN THE VOLUME DOWN!
Sorry, I'll get back on track.

The touch screen is nice, but stiff by the edges, which is okay i suppose.
I really need to put on my screen protector ASAP.
The carrying case cleans the screen slightly when you pull it in our out.
This is probably the best bundled case I've seen yet for a PPC phone.
The Mogul cases were garbage. Don't use magnets to close a flap for a 500 dollar phone. WTF?!
I'm disappointed in the belt clip though, it comes off far to easy. I've almost lost the phone a few times bumping against something.
Camera Rocks.
I noticed its G-Sensitive as well.
the G-sensor is friggen so touchy! Rock on!
I wish i still did construction so i could use the calibration tool to level my products, haha. that would be awesome.

My only other complaint I have about this is the stylus sucks.
I wish it was a full body stylus. This one is still to small, and the end is plastic, I can feel it breaking in my hand already.
The magnetic part is pretty sweet. I have my spare stuck to something here on my desk so it wont get lost.
And the magnetic hold in is very nice and sleek too.
The abiilty to turn off features regarding the stylus in or out is nice as well.

Questions, comments? Please PM
I'll try and check back for responses.
This is a big thread. I avoid them mostly.

Almost forgot.
I Would switch to my mogul if i had to, but the phone is so damn clunky with its lack of rom. So even with the extra keys, I'll be keeping my TP, because it has more possibilities and functionality.

For anyone complaining about the back creeking, this problem I don't have, but I have seem some threads regarding it. I think there is a sticky on XDA for it.
I believe its the coating on the back of the phone causing it. Dont quote me, I didn't read the thread.
