Getting Bored With TP2??
 

Is it just me, or ya'll getting bored with the TP2?? Ever since the most anticpated upg frm sprint, which wasn't really that great. Its nothing going on with the TP2..it keeps freezin on me and all kinds of stuff. Then with more and more news about EVO..i jus can't wait 2 get my hands on it...sorry TP2 :???:

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

The Evo will take a while. If you're that bored, get a MOMENT and call it a day ...

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

DONT GET ME WRONG, I LUV MY TP2...ITS JUST..I HAVE LOST THE EXCITEMENT FOR IT...i use 2 b on the website lookn for stuff 2 add on and etc...but now..i dnt do nething lol

I personally think its the fact Winmo has lost it touch. Everyone is fixated on Android OS since it offers way more in the sense of apps, and usability. Winmo there is not definate app store that is worth while...and support is almost no exsistant. I for one still like my TP2 and enjoy the apps I do have on it, but like a previous post I will be transitioning to Android once the Evo becomes avaiable. I've played with android devices and they just seem more user freindly, less ram usage, and easier to use. Sorry Winmo, but its time to move on. Windows Mobile 7 to little to late....

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

Yeah i agree with Chris..thats what i think it is...everybody has all this new cool stuff on there phone and we left in the dust.....it seems like we old news...even the HD2 seems regular...dnt get me wrong..that phone is the hottest on the market..but with windows on it..i think it brings its value dwn a lil bit

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

+1 for being bored with TP2 now. After 7 months with it, I'm ready to jump ship to Android when the moment comes. And no...that wasn't a pun on the Samsung 'Moment' lol

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

man yalls is crazy! ive had my TP2 since sprint released it and ive never been happier with it. so you have lost the desire to search for "new" stuff. there are brand new roms released every day. have you tried emulators? you cannot honestly tell me you have played every single snes game.

if you are bored with it, start making a custom rom. rstoyguy has an excellent thread that explains the ins and outs of making a rom here. you can practically use anybody's kitchen and work on cooking up something fun.

just my 2 cents.

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

hmm makin my own rom...thats i've been wantin 2 learn how to do..i always thought it was time consumin, and i dnt have time 2 do it....

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

what cool new stuff are you talking about??

My brother-in-law has a Droid & I have way more cool stuff in my phone than he does.

+1 with getting a little bored now with the TP2... i am anxiously awaiting the EVO. :-)

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

Totally agree.
My wife has a Moment and I love it - lots of customizing and apps can be had.
And things just work well.
Going to jump ship a soon as Sprint get a decent model (I would prefer slide out keyboard)

too bad you can't use a SlingBox with android.

We crazy? Sorry but installing new ROM's doesn't improve how Windows Mobile is. Like I said in my earlier post....Windows Mobile doesn't have jack out there other than tweaks and Cooked ROM's....and to me that just doesn't cut it. Yeah, you may be able to install cabs to the new rom, and get rid of junk but does it really enhance the device anymore than the previous? I really don't think so. Apps for Windows Mobile are few and far between....and most of them that I've looked for are really old, and lackluster. I don't know of any barcode scanner software for the TP2 or Windows Mobile, I also don't see police lights app that I have searched for....But the Android App store has both...and they run great on Android Devices.

Android is gaining on the Apple App store...if you read the post on the main page of PPCgeeks you'll notice Android apps store is predicted to surpass the Apple App store in the future at its current rate... The Interface of Android is much more pleasing, less clunky.

Oh and by creating a new ROM or downloading a new ROM that's un official your actually voiding your phones warranty....Yeah, there are ways of locking your phone but why take the risk? Is it that much better by changing skins, hacking the registry? You shouldn't have to do that to a OS...

HTC Evo here I come!

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

Not familiar with Android... But I have seen alot of them being flashed in front of my face... I haven't seen much customization though. Do you meaan rearanging the icons and putting them on different pages? I'm curious... Cus I've seen many TP2's and no 2 look alike.
Just wondering. Maybe I'll go poke around in the Android forum.

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

LOL, that is the kind of lame stuff I expect from the iphone users I work with........

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

Well not me because of the ability to plug any headphones and the mic still works it's awesome, able to flash and have your custom looks, I have a car with cassett player where I can just plug my TP2 with a jack and jam to youtube music videos or be able to listen to my conversation instead of bluetooth just plug to the speakers of my car and still talk, able to sync pictures from FB to my contacts, and probably many more options that I love. Is any one else with me???

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

I still LOVE my TP2.

I wouldn't mind having a multi-touch screen like my ipod touch, but I can't really think of anything else I would change.

Hell, I love upgrading phones as much as anybody but at this time I don't see any other phone I want (I would buy an HD2 if I could, but that's not available on VZ & I will never switch carriers again)

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

So just to play devils advocate here, when you get the EVO with Android are you going to run it completely stock, not download any programs or change any backgrounds or adjust any settings or root the device? not trying to be degrading or anything like that just would like to know because it sounds like from what you are saying is that changing anything at all is bad?

I think WM is by far the most sophisticated device out on the market because of flexibility. and as far as apps go I am sure most of us know about handango.com and places like that, so WM having a low app store is just crap in my opinion.

Just my thoughts.

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

need a change???? load rhobuntu.... holy crap that is an eye opener for what the phone can do.... i wouldn't trade winmo though, i have no problem playing with all the different features, and i use my phone constantly for work. i can't make an android phone work the way i need it to for my day to day use, if you can then more power to ya

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

haha you complain about hacking the registry? do you even use windows? the registry gets "hacked" every time you change your background, etc. only difference is someone else does the work for you. I mean if you would rather have a toy than a phone, be my guest.

in order to unlock your phones maximum potentials, you have to "hack" the phone itself. want anything awesome on the android? you have to root it. want your iphone to do all this crazy cool stuff? jailbreak it.

all phone providers do is limit their phones capabilities so you are forced to buy the next greatest thing just for that capability.

you want a barcode scanner or a police light flasher? you'll use it for maybe a month and delete it. so arguments are moot. if you make a custom rom, you can make your phone do whatever you want. plus you can have something nobody else has.

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

and i requote. you want android? download a file and put it on your windows mobile phone. lets see the android do anything even similar.

Re: Getting Bored With TP2??
 

Yeah @ one point a long time ago i felt like you do. but eventually youre going to reach a point where you've tried all the good/ highly rated roms. a lot of roms you find out there are not even halfway decent/stable. And if your like me, you cant be without your phone or missing calls, losing contacts,etc because of the phone crashing from a unstable rom. And once you find a rom that truely works for you then you wont even bother to flash anything else because its a 95% chance it wont be worth it. I would have to agree, that I am bored with the phone too... its just not exciting anymore. i think we've discovered most of its capabilities.

Yes I'm a little bored with the phone. I also have a fairly short attention span for these things. However, I can't say there's another smartphone on the horizon that will make jump ship any time soon.
