One would figure they would have synching to outlook more readily available. Some of the issues observed are valid, however, the performance is definitely the upgrade. Battery life is great, and having 3 TP2 batteries means never having to worry when out for extended periods away from power.

yep tried that too b4 i went to work i reinstalled stock rom for my tp2 and took it back in their still telling me the samething in both the stores here they can't em to sync over so yeah i got the music over alright now they're working i'm more worried about my work and family contacts cause sprint still can't get them over onto the arrive so i dunno i put a few on it today just to get by but sooner or later the rest are gonna have to go over to it problem is i know too many damn people ..

my bad for not getting back at you...let me speed dial info_box...

Regarding pushing over contacts from one phone to another using the cellabrite machine. Tell the sprint rep to use *HTC 7 pro* if they see HTC arrive. They have the same model number HTC T7575. Some store just don't know any better.

I don't recommend using WAV. while uncompressed is the best way to go the filesize is much too large for a mobile device

Finally got around to trying what you suggested. Converted all my music files. Downsized from 4.5 to 1.3 GB. Still sounds good. Thanks.

Not a surprise. New electronics usually have a higher defect rate than established ones. I had to use the hotmail method to sync my contacts from my Mogul because WP7 requires corporations with self-signed certs to extract said certs with all private keys for WP7 to sync. Good luck.

i don't know why but i'm starting to believe ya on that especially since i got this thing brand new and they can't seem to find anything wrong with it besides it heating up when i'm on phone calls . i tried using gmail and hotmail to sync my contacts and it's got my contacts names over just not my contacts numbers and email accounts went back in yesterday after they called me back and said their software for syncing contacts was updated and still they can't get them to show up and they also went ahead an swapped my phone out to another new 1 and it's still having the same issue so yeah i hate to say it but i'm going to not trying to piss any1 off but it looks like imma have to abandon my wp7 dream til sprint can figure it out damn it and i was just starting to fall in love with my device .. anyways fellas like i said b4 thank u for all ur help it was very much appreciated ..

dont know why you are having issues. all my contacts transferred flawlessly, number,pictures and all. try to sync them without the +1 in them because i had them blank once (but on my TP) but when i did that everything was good.
