g1 to touch pro 2

[newone757]

regardless.

once a 1ghz slate device hits you can be sure a keyboarded version or atleast comparable model is somewhere behind it(especialy if its successful which it looks like it will be), maybe later in the year but still. IMO its just stupid to upgrade to this already aged hardware when within a year something with double the specs will likely drop. not to mention WM7 this year (if thats your cup of tea). the processor is truly the anchor on this phone.

if you are content with using last generation software and internals then nothing i say matters. just trying to give the heads up, hindsight is 20/20, i only paid 100 for my tp2 and its just collecting dust now. with everything on the horizon coming at lightening speed this year i wouldnt recommend buying any phone with a contract at this point. I did but i have an extra upgrade waiting to see what sprint has up its sleeve at the end of this year (supersonic maybe?). i dont know about you but if im going to sign the dotted line its gonna be for something good, has to be worth my while. 2 years is a long time to be married to a phone (unless your pockets are just deep enough to keep buying outright)

What will bring you a device with 1 GHZ and a larger screen than the TP2 has, and the battery will drain in a few hours, you cant use a stylus (I´m happy I can use one!), and some more things?

Only because the TP2 isnt the newest device, that doesnt mean its crappy....

basically my plan is to plug the phone into my car through the video rca port and have gps on it. Currently the g1 does not support video out.

I bought a video cable for my Sprint TP2 a couple weeks ago and it works great. The one I bought was off of eBay and it was inexpensive. The connector was RCA (white/red/yellow). This should work for you through your car's port and have gps on it.

Oh, one thing I just thought of is whether your car will play video while it is moving. My Infiniti dealership has loner cars and I had a loner once (G35) and noticed the video port would stop while the car was moving for safety reasons. So just something to be aware of for your system/car.

the $125 price tag for a Touch Pro 2 that should just seal the deal.The Touch Pro 2 does have threaded or classic text msgs. it also has a tv out option.but does require a cable. and u wil nevr find a HD2 FOR $125,at least not for a long time. plus u can just flash a 6.5.3 rom with sense 2.5.i honestly like my TP2 just as much if not more than my girls Motorola Android. Plus they have a working bootscreen for the TP2 to choose between Windows Mobile 6.5 or Android operating system. Now the android part of the operating system is still a work in progress.but they are making good progress.but wont that be cool when our TP2s will b able to run Windows Mobile 6.5 or Android. Id get the Touch Pro 2. I use the GPS on my T.Pro2 with regular Google Maps,Bing or MSN maps with no problems.and if i run Quick GPS then run the HTC GPS Tool til it gets about 6-12 satellites locked,about 60 seconds,then when i go to google maps it only takes about 1-3 seconds to get a solid GPS lock and holds strong even when i go indoors.It gets the fastest GPS lock of anyphone ive ever had.Plus all the customizations,themes,apps,and programs available for the TP2.i was on the fence like u but i got the touch Pro 2 and never looked back.In my book it is by far one of the best PPC phones out. and ive had a Palm Pre, Palm Pixi,(hated those phones)my girls Motorola Android, and the htc phones are simply the best.My favorite so far is the TP2.hell if u dont buy it for $125 then let me buy it. ill pay $125 right now.i wouldnt pass that up.even if u dont like u could always sell it for more.

think im gonna go ahead and take your advice. Im getting the phone for 125 without contract whihc is why i was getting it. I love windows mobile and am now in dire need of a new phone so yea..

Also in my opinion the andriod os is theoretically better and more applicable but the windows mobile os is litterally better. I mean with windows mobile you get word, excel outlook, and many others my only thing was the gps but if it has it i think ima jump ship back to windows mobile granted hte new one will come out with a better processor but its not gonna b 125 for the phone regardless so im going to take the deal if i can.

I think your love the tp2. I hope you get tmo 3g where yur at tho. I don' neccessarily always subscribe to the argument that we should always wait because the next latest and greatest device is dropping in a few months. We always be waiting because that will always be the case. The tp2 is so customizable being wm and with all the customs ROMS out there it's just a flat out amazing device. You got a great price btw. Enjoy!

[Firozu]

I hope i get it of course...if i do ill definitly be baq on the forum trying to personalize it to my needs and trying to get it to work similar to the things ive gotten use to on the android.

is there a way to get it to have a text pop up on teh screen and reply to it right in the pop up?

I believe wmdeals.com is still offering a TP2 for free with a contract extension/service upgrade.

Also if you do get that tp2 and start to miss your G1 there's a thread on here for porting Android to your TP2 for CDMA here if your switching to a CDMA carrier which it doesnt sound like and there's plenty of threads over at xda for GSM phones.
