your tp2 makes and recieves calls??? wow i never heard of that. what ROM are you running??



my list would be GPS, and mass storage via usb

Walking in London, with unlimited Data roaming on the VodafoneUK network, getting an HSPDA signal, and using Google Maps with GPS to navigate and search for all the things we wanted to see, for a little over five hours before the battery warning indicator. THAT made our trip (plus having internet for opening hours, tube travel etc...) so worth the price of admission. WOW, it was great and easy to do, a quick glance and I knew where I was and how to get where I was going.

4: Make sure your firewall isn't blocking it.
5: Install the app on your phone.

you can get an adapter from 2.5 to 3.5

Was this with the Sprint SIM card or did you buy another SIM and use it? Also, did you do anything to the GSM side (unlock or anything) or is it pretty much stock? Did your phone number change while there or did it stay the same?

I've been curious how these phones work overseas for a while now...

sitting at the club last night listening to the PA's obscure music and looking it up with Midomi is pretty cool.

As someone else mentioned...one of my favorite features is using the phone as a flash drive. I have a tendency to leave my flash drives in computers but when it's my phone...no chance!

Shhhh... it's a brand new top-secret ROM... Only a very select few TP2 users realize that their devices actually can make and receive telephone calls. If I let out the details, I might get a "cease and desist" letter from Microsoft and get banned from PPG. LOL

who would make a phone call when you can txt and email?

Indeed...I partly purchased the TP2 because we will be in the UK next Fall for a couple of weeks... I'm interested in any and all info on how the phone "travels". What needs to be done...pitfalls...costs, etc.

To answer the OP, I upgraded from a Motorola Q9c specifically for a better web browsing phone. I am very satisfied with the TP2 web browsing.
