Re: BACK to the ORIGINAL Touch, after 3 weeks of hell with the Pro

I can safely say, that my Touch has a much more responsive screen, louder/clearer speaker, and an earpiece that is in an entirely different league than the earpiece on the Pro. I don't need an Audiopara3.csv file to make the Touch sound better---and it's not crackily.

If I can get a GOOD Touch Pro, then I will likely return to that phone, but for now, the ONLY thing I liked better on the new phone was that the screen is VGA, and it's hardware-accelerated.

Although, I didn't see ANY benefit from the acceleration. I guess I don't use and games or anything that use it.

I hear that the Diamond has many of the same problems as the Pro, like the heat issue. Although, I don't really care about the heat, as long as the battery keeps charging. I need a phone that is usable. If I can't make a 2 hour phone call, (which I do at least two or three times a week,) obviously I will have to take the phone back.

It seems that many people are having the same problems I was, with the charging. I really hope that it's not as widespread as it appears. I love what the TP could be, but it's just not refined enough to be released in the wild. I felt as if I was holding a beta unit. The Touch feels more solid, like a retail product release. I think this is because the Touch was out for a LONNNGGG time before it came to Sprint, while there was less time to make improvements from the GSM version on this phone this time...
