Re: How do you like your Touch Pro?

I have to say I love this phone. It addressed all the perceived shortcomings of my mogul and then some.
I bought at BB the day they were available. I bought two. The one I happened to end up with has been problem free. I installed AudioPara-lite for the low volume issue and that solved it perfectly. I installed SecondToday so I could run PocketBreeze on the second today screen and mapped the softkeys to make switching easy. The phone does not heat up excessively and charges properly.
The screen is awesome and web pages look great after I did the 'desktop PC' hack'.
The second phone I bought for my son at the same time. He had a problem with the phone locking up during charging, random freezes, and bad sound. A couple of days after the phones release, I read here, on the truly wonderful PPCgeeks TP forums, that you should probably hard reset a new phone. I helped him use PPCpimbackup to backup his contacts to the storage card and we hard reset his phone.
After the hard reset, his phone has been perfect. No more freezes or lockups, and the sound problem just went away, though we installed the same AudioPara because he wanted it a little louder and now he doesn't have to max out the volume to hear it.
I am sure there are people who have problems with their TPs, but I can say that I've never had a phone so, um, complete. I like everything about it. I feels better, more solid in my hand. Bluetooth works perfectly and I have 5 different devices in my BT list.
I can hear the ringer and the phone in the noisiest places I go to, which, being a stagehand, are pretty noisy.
All in all, I can say that I like most waited for this phone for a long time and so far, it hasn't disappointed at all.
