Re: Goodbye TP2

You can run androind on your tp2 so why switch? I tested the android and seriously warn anyone who switches .
1)has no file explorer so when you download alot of stuff its a mess to get to what you want
2)battery drains super fast
3)Not as customizable so your stuck
and the killer for me
4)When new innovative apps are present you must update or get upgrade to even use it.
Now that said there some good points but overall I have both on 1 phone now why trade and have only 1 phone? Good luck thou hope you enjoy it and your welcome back to the touchpro2 family any time. See you soon hahaha

Um, of course Android has a file explorer. You obviously are not familiar enough with the OS to make any statements like this.
---------------------------------------------
I don't know why I would need to keep my TP2 as a backup. I just don't think I would ever use it. Especially after I will be using a device with a 1ghz processor. My 3-4 year old HTC Touch running Android seems faster then my TP2.

As far as stability on the TP2, I can say I was running Mr X's Rom from 3/5 and have not had any lockups on my device. It definitely made my device STABLE! Thank you to Mr X for his wonderful Roms!!!

I don't mind going to a device without a keyboard either. I owned a Diamond as well and I just got used to it. With a 4.3" screen on the Evo and Swype keyboard, I do not see any issues I will have. I would rather have a thinner device and no keyboard. It was one of the negatives to me, the thickness of the TP2.

It will be interesting to see who stays and who goes when the Evo is released. I have a feeling a lot of people will even be switching to other Android devices and abandoning there TP2's. While Android might one day be fully ported to the TP2, unfortunately the hardware will be left in the dust..........

A lot of people need their TP2 either for the keyboard or the world phone functionality.

Re: Goodbye TP2

1)yes there is file explorer like apps
2)Battery life has more to do with the device and battery it carries not android
3)tb overall WM is far more customizable,simply put you just mentioned tf3d theres titanium,custom roms,touchX,SPb mobile shell.
4)Dont see whats the problem with getting the newest version thats almost what custom roms is all about getting the newest and better?
Yes Evo will be sweet and isnt called for fanboyism i love my tp2 but you just have to be awwweedd.. by the technology.

Because you can't use Android on the Tp2 as a full functioning OS yet.

1) There are file explorers in the Android Market
2) My friend's moment and my other friend's hero has very good battery life 1-2 days w/ internet usage/heavy texting/ and decent app usage
3) They will get to the point of being able to customize it, it's still a baby OS.
4) I don't know what you're getting at here.

If someone want's to do a full switch to Android, it's no big deal. Not the end of the world. I see Android turning into the new WinMO when it comes to terms of modding/customizing and such.

Ugh, the more I read about the shortcomings of Android, the more I be eyein' the HD2 with pleasure... I wish they'd come out with a Sprint version. I really don't wanna go to T-Mo.

Re: Goodbye TP2

i had my tp2 for about 12hrs and just sold it, i hate to say it but once you go android you can't go back to winmo.

the design of the phone is great but winmo just slows it down too much.
