I can't believe they're still charging $200 at sprint store for tp2

A pro of the Shift is that I'm now rooted running at a totally stable 1.51 GHz!

I came from the TP2 and I'm absolutely in love with my shift, it's a fantastic phone and a perfect replacement for the TP2. I'm not all that interested in all of the "superphones" that are coming out now, I don't want a dual core or any of that BS until we have a new type of battery to use.

The reason it's still $200 is because it's one of their world phones that is also sim unlocked from stock. I still have mine a backup and use when I go out of country. With a custom rom this phone is still great. Also this phone still sells on ebay for over $160.

I completely agree. We haven't had a significant advancement in battery technology in far too long. I think we're due.

Got a screen shot of that?? I just want it for future reference and postings of mine(if needed)

thats awesome it OC's that high

You can overclock it to 1.8 GHz if you want to but for now I think 1.51 is plenty haha. Some people have their G2's up over 2 GHz and still stable. This processor really is just a beast, don't let the stock clock speed fool you! I'll include one of SetCPU showing the speed and also my score in Quadrant, I think you'll like that one

[HTCotta]

Err... I guess that's 1.52 if I round correctly. Kernel was labeled 1.51 haha who's counting anyway?

hey guys i may be thinking to get the shift. But like most I have all my contact an primary POP email in outlook.

I can not use it as my promary email adress in the shift? I have to get me a gmail acount?

[HTCotta]

You can use it as your primary, there are separate apps for g-mail and all other accounts. The only reason I have a g-mail account is to access the market and so I can sync my contacts and calendar, i use another account for mail.

I probably just me. I feel the android OS phone drain the battery very quickly. I have the epic and the gf has the shift. Both of them seem don't have a good battery usage. I did use some of the android market program to help kill some of the services occupied the RAM, which enough to let battery carry through a day but not the second. The funny thing is that I did a few short phone calls and browsing the web for a minutes in the morning and it still shows 90% of the battery. When I close all the programs and kill most of the of background services. When it was 11pm, then phone crying for charging the battery. As for other UI, I feel it is much much smoother as compare to tp2.
