TP2 the last Sprint WinMo 6.x device!?

[Rager02]

considering sprint announced it will not release a device that comes with 6.5 at release. i would say tp2 is last wm device until wp7,but then again who believes them?lol i don't see it happening.Another device other then tp2 coming?Nah.

If the next incarnation of Win Mo is WP7, why would you come out with 6.x devices? Aren't WP7 devices starting to come out on other networks? Stands to reason that if WP7 is almost ready, come out with WP7 devices.

Myself personally, I have used both WinMo and Android. I personally love both OS's. The only reason I left my Sprint Hero and went to TP2 was because of work purposes. I had it synced to my work server for email, but it would only update my general inbox and wouldn't update any of my folders within it. That may have just been my naivity, but I didn't have the patience as I was starting to miss important emails. As for the customization, I feel like even with the android market being full of free apps, as long as you are willing to do the searching, you can find damn near everything you could possibly want for Winmo and 8 times out of 10 it will be free. I've become a master at flashing roms and am a quick learner with new mods and cabs and such, but I will say that it is nice to be able to just purchase an app, it auto installs, and just works! No hard resetting, no soft resetting, it just works. I do see that people are starting to develop Android roms now but I don't know enough about android to feel comfortable trying to flash them. If they ever get android running 100% functioning on the TP2, I will be in heaven. The one thing that android lacks is the physical keyboard of the TP2. There is not another phone in the industry that has a keyboard anywhere close to that of the TP2. If HTC ever decides to make an android phone with that keyboard or even make the next gen TP android with the ms exchange integration of WinMo, it would be the greatest achievement in the cellular industry IMO.

That is the same problem that I found. I also like using shazam and nanogroove and don't know if they are available for android, and I have been too lazy to research that.

this_discussion(my-reality) =
The TP2 does everything I could ask for from a phone. Really, if I want blazing speeds, projection functionality, etc., I'll just buy a freaking-nother device just for that purpose...like an uber-hott mini. And I don't see myself lifting a projector to my ear to talk to people. Yeah, there's bluetooth, but they all suck in reality. For the Sprint folks, SERO is that good that I can see myself "suffering" with my TP2 for the foreseeable future. The only way I'd give it up is if they let better hardware in or they give me a better pricing schedule on new hardware.

TP2 & SERO forever, baby!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love my TP2. The problem is that I have had it for about 6 months now and am beginning to explore other options and right now I am looking in the direction of Android. The only problem is not being to see the subfolders from Outlook.

every carrier seemed to have their last push: HD2, TP2, Tilt2, Imagio(arent i missing one or 2 from the last release wave?)... but yeah it seems anyone not wanting android and holding their breath for win7, it out of luck if they dont like whats out and available to them now... thats a long time to wait if you ask me... win7 will be lucky to hit before xmas and we all know microsoft sucks at hitting target dates anyways.. and who knows, they may only have super expensive phones with it... not alot of people liked that offical 600 tag on TP2s for sprint, that slowed alot of people to the device... so it may be a loooooooong time before users afraid of android get a new device with anything winmo really

Well I may pick one up if I can get a good deal on it.

Yea, with 6.5 dying, and no longer being "officially" supported (PPC and XDA are more official to me than an actual Microsoft release) there will not be any further 6.5 phones. I hate the look of Win 7, looks unfinished, and too "gamey" not as business and straight forward as id like. I havent tried android further than booting on my TP2 and messing around with a Moment in the store. But i like it, and seems more customizable than Win 7.

It sucks that its dying, but I know i will be getting an EVO when it drops, and hopefully somebody can port win 6.5 to it.

Now there's a GOOD idea.
