Re: Thinking of trading/selling TP2 or Sprint Hero

i thought the stock rom on the TP2 fit the bill for the "just works" requirement. i dont think it would be too hard to train a non-tech person to use it, but you know your wife better than we do.

i got the hero for my non-techy wife. overall, i think the interface is easier than the TP2, but not everything "just works". she has had problems with yahoo mail not working, the sms battery drain stuff, phone calls that seem to go straight to voice mail even though she has a strong signal and text messages not getting sent. it is a good OS and overall she likes it. in many ways it is easier than WM. but it isnt perfect. there are a few things that dont work well. i dont like the web browser. typing long stuff is still a bit of a chore without a keyboard. maybe it is easier for those accustomed to capacitive screens, but i dont like typing on it at all. maybe the moment or whatever is called would be better.

craigslist can be good. my chief complaint is the buyers can be really flaky. lots of people will promise to show up with cash in hand, but few actually do.

My girl loves the moment,and she's a non techy.She doesn't use the on screen keyboard. The web browser is faster than anything on windows mobile.

That is a great idea, I will have to do it locally then. I cant afford to go a day with out my phone as its my primary business line. I will try call sprint first to see what they can do though.

Any thoughts/opinions on wither this is a smart move? Still on the fence on this one.

I sent you a PM last night. I have a brand new Hero from insurance, and I have no clue what to do with it. Offering a trade if you're interested...

No offense, but you have absolutely no rep here. I would be skeptical of such a transaction.

Re: Thinking of trading/selling TP2 or Sprint Hero

Hmm a local guy on craigslist just emailed me, he the Palm Pre and its within his 30 days still. He wants to trade because he cant find the TP2 anywhere...

I always really liked the Pre, as far as it being easy to use, I think it us there with the iPhone. Hmm i do however need tethering support in the waiting time until i get my new phone and dont know if the pre has that.

Re: Thinking of trading/selling TP2 or Sprint Hero

So far I really, really, really like it. First impressions are very good so far but I will report back once I have it in the field longer.
