The phone did not have a significant lag as many have mentioned but there is a noticeable 3-5 second delay when opening apps. Also I noticed that the screen would turn off extremely fast. It could be a settings issue but I did not have time to go through it. However, flipping through the homescreen was very fluid as many video reviews have shown. Sense UI was impressive but I would put it slightly above TF3D 2.0. The keyboard in portrait was not as accurate as I had hoped. I kept mistyping the words but perhaps with practice it will get better. The resolution on the screen was impressive, and I want to say it is similar to the TP2.

That is all I have. Thanks.

Rey

some have reporting running the calibration program in landscape helps with the keyboard issues so be sure to do that if you have another chance to play with or if you buy the phone

Im not sure how you got the calibration tool to run in landscape mode. It's not letting me.

No REV.A !? I just happen to visit Sprint Users and saw a whole mess of people saying they don't have REV.A

The Poll and another discussion.

I can't check it now because I only have Airave and I don't feel like driving.

But this is unacceptable.

That's just crazy. Im on rev0. My guess is all or almost all of the people that got theirs at Best Buy will be rev0. Sprint needs to do an update very very soon...

How do I check what I'm on? Got mine from corporate sprint store.

**jbearamus** · #**489** (**permalink**) 10-11-2009, 11:21 PM

i'll see if theres a discrepancy tomorrow when i pick mine up from a sprint corporate store, what on the phone are we checking exactly to see which Rev we're running?
