I was reading in on rstoysguy kitchen and it sounds like most of my programs will carry over, so once I can get the basic kitchen running, it should be pretty easy (especially since I don't use sense).

Re: Thinking of jumping to the HD2

I live in SA, Tx. I got the HD2 last Saturday (for free from T-Mobile) and have been testing the speeds. @ home (NW side of SA) The HD2 on Tmobile beat the pants off of my TP2 on Verizon! Mobilespeedtest.com rated the HD2 at 1200+ for the 1MB DL and the TP2 at only 700. (same results for the lower DLs too)

At work, (SE side of SA) the HD2 gets anywhere from 1-3 bars of Edge signal to 1-2 bars of 3G indoors, but my TP2 gets 2-3 bars of 3G everywhere indoors.

I LOVE the HD2, and am thinking about paying the ETF and keeping the HD2 for a 3rd party GPS device (CoPilot 8 and OnCourse Navigator 8 ) and for WiFi use since Draft-N can be "unlocked".

Call quality on the TP2 is great and the physical keyboard and the speaker phone on the TP2 are the BEST I have EVER on a phone or PDA device. I will continue to use the TP2 as my primary device but I really am struggling about what to with the HD2! (Huge Screen, Screaming Processor and Draft-N for WiFi)

that's one of the great things, I haven't had a cab that didn't work on the tp2 but not the hd2 :D.

once you get past the no hard keyboard, you'll wish every phone had a snapdragon, trust me :).

It came down to no keyboard vs no winmo, winmo won out.

Re: Thinking of jumping to the HD2

once my thanks come back, you got one coming! winmo might be dying, but it ain't dead yet! put cht 1.8.5 on it, runs way better than the tp2 (i have that too)..it was made for the hd2!

Re: Thinking of jumping to the HD2

I might give CHT a try, but mobile shell is so ingrained in my brain by now that it might be the better starting point while "learning" the phone. Actually, I'm gonna hunt for a titanium only 6.5.3 that is fully functional. going back to 6.5 is gonna be painful before I start cooking.
