Help me like the TP2

[jbass350z]

Well I gave the TP2 a fair shot. Even with all the tweaks it was slow as mud. I just bought a Droid Incredible and it was the best decision I ever made.

The only redeeming quality of the TP2 was the keyboard. Live and learn I guess.

& the fact that it has a TV out & runs both Sirius & SlingBox Mobile (the Incredible won't do any of that unfortunately or I would own one myself)

Any Windows Mobile Phone is going to be what you make of it. its just like windows on your PC, don't install a ton of bloat ware and use the K.I.S.S. method and it will run like a champ.

Install every Tom, Richard (would not let me use the other name) and Harry piece of software and its going to run like Crap.

Ya, you are going to install software but make sure what you have you do use (don't install software that you only use every 3 months just carry the cab on your Memory card). I remember a few months back this guy had like 180 programs installed and wandered why His phone would not run right.

Remember this is WINDOWS, it gives us the ability to do just about what ever we want with our phone but that does not mean that we have to Tweak every little aspect of it. sometimes just sticking with simple makes things go along ways.

Once I get everything on my phone the way that I like it I can go weeks without a softreset because I take the time to make sure everything works right and works together right. Ya it make take a few weeks to get everything just right but by the time thats Done I am good for Months of a Problem Free phone.

^lol

hmm.. why is it that most of the users here who hate there tp2 have a low post count and/or low rep?
The phone will act the way you make it go install a bunch of none sense and you will slow down any phone.I have been running stock since release have no freeze ups nothing bad.Oh and i recently stopped flashing on this tp2 3/19 but ive been flashing since my tp1 and never had bad problems either

If your not fully committed to your Touch Pro 2, sell it and get something you like. You can't really half-@$$ a phone like the TP2. You gotta fully go at it to get the most out of it. I've had mine since the first day it was released on VZW. Eight months later, I'm ready for a new phone and have been ready to switch ever since November or December.

The only thing that keeps me holding on to it is the wonderful work done by chef's of custom ROM's. They are absolutely amazing and by flashing a new rom every month, I get a chance to have a new 'feel' to my phone.

Hope all works out and you end up liking it. If not, why waste your time and money on a $500 phone that your aren't fully committed to?

Just my $0.02

Good luck

Because these are the people that are/were going to be you one day. We expect a phone to do a specific task. We all bought this phone for a different reason, but when it comes right down to it this is a slow performer. I like how you said the phone will act the way you want it to. Well if that is to hold water the Lambo can do 200mph, but in order to reach this speed you must take all the interior out, put on nasty rims, use plastic sides. You are just sticking up for microsoft (although i have no idea why, just take a look at wp7). I have android on my sd card and use it far more than windows mobile.....guess what i got almost every game you can get on that app store and the phone still runs great. Now with that said this is by far the most usable windows phone i have ever had, (although the constent keyboard issue with the tp1 sending over 7 of them in and now my tp2 screen just quit working today.) but we need to improve on what we have. The iphone is lightyears ahead of us, android is already almost bigger than wm and it hasnt been out that long. You are just another fan boy sticking up for his phone (not that it is a bad phone)

Most ppl get winmo for the customization factor. Sure android has all the fun games and so does iphone but when you think about it you cant do whatever you want with those companies. sure android you can get apps or programs that void your user agreement. and have fun sending it back when the phone does break down. because like everything in the world the phone has a self life. there will always be issues with things because companies release sub par items just to get the money then decide on whether to fix them or not based on user complains. When you think about it most android phones and iphone's are entrainment phones. which is the selling point. If you want something that will keep you busy on the train get an android phone or a iphone. because that's what the phone is made to do entertain you. which is fine but, winmo phones are business phone to the core. you say ppl are fan boys for their phones. Its all situational you cant call someone a fan boy because they defend a product they like. ppl who blindly wait in line for 24 hours to get a product ie: iphone just because it has a new feature like copy and paste are fan boys. please dont put me in the same category as them for sticking up for a phone i like and have no issues with.
