Also in text messages, you can not select the text by moving over it. You have to goto menu, select "select text" than copy the text. Its doing 3 steps as where in the TP you only have to do one step to copy/paste/cut. MS tried to make it easier for the new people trying out the WM OS but I think for people that have been using WM since they launched, its more difficult. They are trying to make it too much like the gayphone(iphone). I don't want that damn programs tab to open when I hit Start. And last, yes I know you can remap keys. ;]

again, you can remap the keyboard to have CTRL, so your problem is solved there. so while you HAD a valid point, it's irrelevant to a power user because we know how to get around it now.

you realize why they put the select text option right? it's to make texts much more scroll friendly. besides, you CAN select text without going to that menu. it's just different now. you tap and hold the screen where you want to start, then move it along the text and when you're done just hold on it and a menu will pop up to copy. It's a little strange at first judging the time it takes before it'll go to the select all context menu, but once you figure it out it's effective... i basically wait for the lil animation to start then i start moving for highlighting text. plus u have better scrolling within the text because ur not accidentally highlighting stuff. i love this change. scrolling through threaded texting was a 8itch on the tp compared to this.

you can also disable the manila programs menu from popping up from the start button.. you just have to edit the registry which takes seconds. i was angered by this at first too because i like using quickmenu for cascading windows and the tf3d manila start menu would overpower it at times. disabling it fixed it and now quickmenu works perfect. here is the reg edit http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...6&postcount=92

it just sounds like you judged your tp2 too soon before even trying for fixes or even discovering how to do things in new ways. next time, you should try asking if there's a way around something rather than pouting about it in the diamond2 forum

Then some pleasantries and we both put the phone down...

So, I'm not usualy one to take things like this for more than a grain of salt. But... I do believe that according to her late in the 3rd quarter we will be seeing a Sprint Touch Diamond 2 with a 3.6 inch screen....

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/...llow/#comments That kind of corroborates what you were told and would mean that phone is coming to Sprint. Here's hoping.

Like I said I know I can remap the keys. And i still disagree that the new TF3D is gay! I am aware and have used the TP2 to its full potential. I have sent one out to overseas to my cousin so that he can test it out on the GSM network. Trust me I know what am doing and talking about. I know other WM users that find the new TF3D gay as well. ;]

Why are we arguing about a ctrl key in a diamond 2 forum? I will agree the TF3D is kind of pointless. It makes the windows 6.1 experience bearable, but with 6.5 coming out, HTC will need to do something game changing, otherwise everyone will use Titanium. I couldn't see using TF3D, now that I am used to titanium on my Mogul.

[billyapd21]

I am running a custom rom with 6.5 and manila 2.1 and I perfer manila over Titanium. HTC is currently working on manila 2.6 which is going to resemble touchflo on android. I'm sure they are working on something new. Look at the improvement from HTC Home Screen on the touch (Vogue) to Touchflo3D.

[savage25rcracer]

manila 2.6 will not work on current devices, it is designed for a device that has twice the power.(HTC LEO)

ha, funny. full potential? everything you said that was wrong with the tp2 has a fix! and if u don't like tf3d, then disable it... big deal. i never said tf3d was the way to go, so i don't know why you're preaching to me why you think it's "gay." I was just pointing out ways that you could fix your problems. In my opinion, the most functional UI that still looks nice is mobile shell 3. Using versions of tf3d1-2.1, i just feel restricted. You liked the build of tf3d that shipped with the tp1? that thing should be considered just as useless if not more than tf3d2.1. I won't return to touchflo until 2.5.

sorry, but you're such a hypocrite. you come into the diamond2 forum to complain about the tp2. after posting about faults that you either didn't understand or didn't realize there was a fix for, you back track when someone corrects you... as if you knew this. LOL! all anyone has to do is go back and read your posts.

i'm done here.
