if you could return it, I would recommend trying it out.

I agree... It looks like the best of the best. However I would rather wait for w7 than switch carriers. I wouldn't blame anyone else for doing the same thing. You know?
The phone would have to have w7 (along with the specs) zune software, wafer thin, and full day constant use battery for me to switch.
Even then.
So... Yeah... Not leaving for the HD2. Hope it comes to Sprint though. And Even if it does... and it comes too close to w7 release... I'll wait.

I love the TP2 and will not move to the HD2, i need a qwerty keyboard. Hopefully by the time I tire of the TP2 Sprint will have the perfect replacement for my beloved phone.

Oh and SaltDawg, an extra smartphone on the Sprint everything family data plan is $20.00 for lines 3-5 (both text and data included), not $30.00.

Wait, just looked at t-mobile pricing for family plans and T-mobile is much more expensive. Again I'm only looking at the family plan.

Even selecting the wrong button on accident, with xt9 this isn't even a problem. carrier is really the only thing to talk about when it comes to the HD2. I can't believe any winmo user would pass on this phone.

My wife had T-Mo for many years until she switched over to Sprint to get the Tour. She never had voice or customer service issues. In south Florida, T-Mo's 3G footprint seems pretty solid.

Plus, T-Mo seems to be getting the two hottest phones of the moment, the HD2 and the Nexus One, so switching to T-Mo doesn't seem all that bad of an idea.

would rather have the extra screen real-estate now and the almost double processor speed now then wait for a win7 phone. Just guessing but the HD2 should run win7 at least spec wise.

Naw, I need a keyboard. I need to feel the keys when I type. Plus, when I start typing, I don't want some virtual keyboard popping up and taking up half the screen. It's bad enough trying to work on a 3 inch screen, but when a keyboard takes up most of the 3 inches it makes it even worse.

See... I think that's awesome... If they have a plan for you and the phone you want... Why not go there?
Choices are great.

So then for 2 lines T-Mobile is cheaper, 3 lines is the same price, 4 lines Sprint is cheaper. If you factor in the nickel and dime fees Sprint puts on you though ($5 fee for having a speding limit and the new fees they are adding this month) then T-Mobile is cheaper. Plus, T-Mobile doesn't have a contract on those plans. You can leave anytime you want with no ETF.

yeah but now micorsoft pushed back the release date for wm7 till the 4th quarter of 2010. so wont be seeing any devices that can handle wm7 till mid or late 2011. but there wiil be leak of it before release date, for hd2

I have 8 phones on sprint and the 2 yr contract is easy to get out of without paying the ETF. With 8 phones I still dont use the 1500 minutes due to Sprints new mobile to moble feature. So for me T-mobile is not cheaper. Anyway sorry to get off topic in the thread.
