Re: Touch Pro Reviews
Thought I would chime in here.......
I purchased the VZW TP 2 days ago. It is being sent back tomorrow.
Reasons:
Cost: I spent 300 bux on this thing and in my opinion, it is not worth 50 bux.
Build quality: Pretty good except for what appears to me a bubble in the lower center of the screen. Should have been caught with QC.
Responsiveness with operating system: I would love to throw this thing out my car window one day just to laugh about it. This thing is so dang slow it ain't funny. Forget even making a call while driving, you get so messed up because you have to wait forever for the phone to respond to what you are doing and constantly have to look down to see what the phone is doing. I'm not wrecking my Eclipse over this thing.
Responsiveness with TF3D: As above, sure it looks great but you can't even run it because it slows the phone down even worse than what it is.
Camera: Impossible to take a picture. I can't even take a picture of a fence post without it blurring due to a 5 to 7 second lag between clicking the button and when the shutter actually snaps.
SMS: With my trusty ol razr v3m, when I get an sms there is no waiting for 2 minutes for a sound that comes with that message.
Not to mention I get a message all the time saying that Voice Command has stopped due to low memory, and I need to close programs. I don't have anything opened. Geesh.
And...battery life is aweful at best. The specs say 250 minutes talk, 250 hours standby or something like that (I may be wrong), but I can't make it 8 hours without it dying.
I have been reading and waiting on this phone for several months now and even got up at 1am when VZW put it on their site so I could get it. Wish I hadn't now, this thing is beyond horrible.
Not trying to start a flame war, but this is just my opinion. Something is either badly wrong with this phone or VZW should be hung for thinking the public would accept something like this.
JUST A REMINDER: This is a review of the VERIZON version of the TP. The TP itself is an amazing phone, but once given to Verizon....you wind up with something about useless.....
