Re: bought the evo and starting to regret it.

Sounds like he is scared to move from what he is comfortable with. I am personally the other way....I can't stand Windows Mobile. My TP2 is a boring brick of a phone to use...all I do is text, and call people...anything else...well you get the picture. The amount of memory the Evo has over the TP2 is almost double...the screen size...the HDMI out, the capacitive touch screen...whats there not to like....The TP2 lacks in all those catigories...

Hmm...dude you should really look at your situation....are the things your getting fustrated over really that big of deal?

Re: bought the evo and starting to regret it.

I had similar concerns over what to do about apps if i was to give other roms a try after rooting. Being a flashaholic with the TP2, i got used to using UC and having it reinstall all my apps again after flashing.

When I started to read up on android though, I realized that not only can i do that with programs like titanium backup, but through nandroid backups i can pretty much rest assured that if a new rom isn't what i wanted i can go straight back to my previous setup, rom/apps/settings all saved via nandroid.

The best part about the whole thing is, i have my nandroid backups copied to my laptop so i'm doubly insured against having to redo my entire phone if new things don't work out.

I would try and do some more reading, maybe with a more positive attitude towards android, the Evo is gonna be a crap phone compared to the TP2 you're familiar with if you don't make the effort to get to know the platform better.

Aside from the lack of the physical keyboard, which i'm missing less day by day, my TP2 is now a battery charger for my Evo. Sometimes when i accidently turn it on when i put the battery back in to the TP2 and it boots up, i am reminded of how limited the hardware and the software was as a combination.

Re: bought the evo and starting to regret it.

I can only say that since moving to Android I am not looking back. Consider all the rom chefs from WinMo that are now moving onto Android. Despite its rapid growth, it is still a relatively new platform and when the best chefs really get going, it will get really innovative.

Re: bought the evo and starting to regret it.

hell i will trade you my touch pro and My new touch Pro2 runny Vinn's ROM
hit me up. (oh I got a diamond also)


also believe me it will only get betters, I think a physical keyboard might just be a thing of the past, No hardware to software issue, correct keys etc....
Phones will be coming out with faster more versitile processors. But I think that a 5'' to a 5.5'' inch displays should be the largest until they can squink down the bulking size of the phones.....
just my 2 cents
