Stop reading now if you are sensitive to complaints.

The phone itself is part of the problem (insufficient hardware) as well as the flaky OS that struggles to cover up the shortcomings of the hardware but instead dead ends in a flawed experience favoring fluff over function (tell me the Sense clock doesn't make the home screen crawl).

I bought an iPod Touch 3rd gen last weekend because I needed a new iPod and wanted to see what the Apple OS was like (TP2 will die before sunset if I play more than a few songs during the day). I work in IT and have until now avoided major contact, aside from configuring ActiveSync for end users. After using WinMo phones for 4 years, I see what a joke the interface has become. I really want to throw my TP2 against a wall every time I have to wait for an SMS message or photograph to paint itself (inevitably misaligned) on the screen.

I think most people knew that the TP2 would not have very long in the limelight after its release last year. It has nothing left going for it; WinMo applications for popular services are barely supported if they even exist and the masses are moving onto modern platforms where applicable. I do love the keyboard, and the $30/mo SERO, but every day that goes by I become a little more comfortable with sacrificing those features for a device that doesn't eat itself alive when an MMS comes down the pipe.

The only reason to hate on the TP2 is the now-dated Hardware. (And maybe the OS)

I personally think the TP2 is the best Phone Layout ever. Only a few updates and it would be Top Dawg again. Replace the MSM528MHz with a QSD Snapdragon, possibly replace the Resistive screen with either a Capacitive, Multi-touch Resistive, or Preferred Hybrid Capacitive-Resistive. Then the usual upgrade of RAM (588+) and ROM(1GB) and I will even enjoy if they left WinMo 6.5 on it. (To be honest it would be nice if HTC had an Android Variant, Windows Phone 7 and Windows Mobile 6.5 of a TP2 with a faster chipset and more memory. Imagine not having to compromise on having the best Hardware Mobile Keyboard and a decent sized Touchscreen. Only having to choose your OS flavor and be good!!!)

Only other options that could improve it are DO NOT disable FM Radio & TV-OUT. Maybe add a camera Flash and/or improve the camera, but not a biggie to me.
