Re: I dispise the Touch Pro

I totally disagree. The GPS on mine is just fine - not too different from my DeLorme PN-40. Slow? Not at all. Crashes? None in 2 months - none. Telephone hangs up fine - not a problem with a good signal. Buttons and screens fine. Blue Tooth (2 words) stays on 24/7.

And I have the stock Sprint ROM. Excellent device used for business purposes.

I have to say that the Verizon version is COMPLETELY AWFUL while The Sprint version is just a step up at TERRIBLE. I have been using pocket PCs for many years and I have to say the Touch Pro is by far worse. Camera? not the best, but not the worst at all. Battery? hey, it does lots of things.

I have used multiple ROMs that do help but don't resolve the problems.

-GPS is AWFUL or unusable.
-It is SLOW (half the speed of the XV6800 on a good day)
-Crashes constantly
-Telephone half the time wont hang up
-The physical buttons only work half the time
-The screen is slow and unresponsive
-Bluetooth disconnects, or "goes corrupt" and I have to hard reset.
-Camera is awful. SLOW, Difficult and most pics are blurry.
-Should I even bother mentioning battery life?
-The physical hardware is fragile at best

LOL... OK, I am done with my rant... Now I feel better.

So does anyone have any suggestions as to an alternative phone? I have read the specs on the Omnia but it sounds like aside from a better camera, I would loose many features. Aside from that, I am ready to go back to my Mogul.
