im sorry your service sucks there. i have great service in most my area and my test have brought me consistent 1mbps. through wifirouter i was getting 800 kbps. so the speeds are good. the stock tmobile rom is pretty good on it. the one thing im not liking so far is battery life. that screen sucks up that battery but luckily i can charge at work and anywhere im at. it is without a doubt though a fantastic gorgoeous phone.

I was wondering the same thing about the touch hd2 and the only motivation I had was doing the wp7s upgrade (which may or may not happen). But for the past 2 weeks I have been using the iphone (and save from keyboard, texting and facebook, its pretty awful) and I want to jump into a new phone experience. 4.3 in is big (that's what she said) but I also have to see the big deal...the largest thing that impressed me was the additions that htc added with pinch to zoom, screen sensitivity, development and hacking...and a myriad of other things.

I am already not without a keyboard phone so to speak (bad esn phone with a bad screen that works just cosmetically ugly touch pro 2) so I want to see what it is like with t mobile and buy the phone outright and save my upgrade for a wp7s device...

All in all I guess its in the eye of the beholder. I lusted after the touch hd2 for the processor and quality htc puts in their devices. but opinions vary especially after playing with it. Its up to you and no one will fault you for not getting it

Do you still want a wp7 phone??? you're better off keeping that iphone... no copy and paste, no file management, the only way to get stuff in the phone is thru marketplace or zune, No thank you! It looks like the hd2 will be the last windows phone ill ever own

Im buying this phone because of the hardware it has. I always wanted a phone with the biggest screen possible since I use it mainly for the web.

that's what she said XD
but in seriousness I'll play with one in a few days...again I should say I haven't played with a 1 ghz rom version and that intrigues me

Well being on a Verizon TP the HD2 is worth the switch for me. My TP pukes on a regular basis because it runs out of memory so fast. To use web on it i usually have to reboot it. It makes me want to smash it out in the parking lot and run over it with my car, which i will probably do once i switch.
