Ready for everyday use?

How many people here use it for "every day use?"
From reading i understand there are some limitations but nothing i have read so far seems to be a show stopper for everyday use.

i dont use it everyday yet bt i will with some power management tools. But I have also cooled down from my excitment about it since 6.5 is officially out.

No.

Unless you consider no sound, no charging (for many) as minor issues.

(no GPS, no BT also but not as major).

I really can't wait for it to work 100%. With MS crapping on us by announcing WM7 and halting development for current WM platform, I'm going to Android. I love my keyboard though so preferably I'd like to stick with the TP2.

I could see myself using it full time once it's 100%. I used to think that android sucked because of its limitations but since windows mobile is dying, this seems a lot less limited than windows phone 7.

100%?? ha ha... I don't know if it will every be a full 100%... There are always small minor issues here and there (even with the genuine Android phones). I'd settle for just getting all the "major" features fixes like sound, power issues, GPS, and BT.

But I'm with you, I'd like to switch over to Android once it's ready. I'm hoping that by the summer we'll have a version that can be used everyday.

Its ready if you don't need sound, bluetooth, or GPS. Then yes it is ready.

Ready for everyday use? I don't think so but i have been using it that way during the day. I work at a pc all day so i just keep the phone plugged into the usb port and have not had any issues. So far it says charged (and has not blown up!) so i can use it as much as i want and still get phone calls and txt messages.

I need charging to work 100% to use it everyday, im about half and half throught the day though. I enjoy the Android software ever since my G1, but thought WM6.1 was more awesome at the time. Now im leaning more toward the android software once again. Sound would be awesome too, or atleast headphone port. I use my phone as an MP3 player when im on my motorcycle.
