worth Getting the Touch Pro 2 for Sprint?

[wildpig]

If you don't mind switching out of SERO, then you have a lot more options to pick from since TP2 is and probably will be the most advanced phone that Sprint will ever allow on SERO... Kinda sucks to think it is the dead end.... ;(... Having said that, I am quite satisfied with my TP2 compared to my old TP1. GPS problems on my TP1 is fixed on the TP2.

I also have a lot of WM applications so I like to actually stick to TP2. There are a lot of applications out there right now that don't have an Android version yet. They might in the future as Android gets more popular, but of course there's no guarantee that there will be one... I wish we have something like HD2 for Sprint, but we don't .....

If you don't mind paying at least twice what you are paying now for SERO and if you don't have a real need to stay with WM, then you probably don't want to just limit yourself to TP2.....

the tp2 is an awesome phone but its def. not worth locking in to an upgrade with at this point in time. youve got the evo out now, the epic before summers end, and with wp7 4 or 5 months away you will be kicking yourself if you use an upgrade on a tp2. but a tp2 used from ebay or from the bargain trader section here and hold your upgrade for a next gen handset.

I'm nearly in the same boat. Here is my problem. I am on SERO and won't be changing..should I just go ahead and get the HTC TP2? My contract is not up but I can get new customer pricing right now. I guess I can look at getting a used one, and keep my upgrade.
I think that even if I did get it through Sprint that the TP2 would be good enough for me for two years..any thoughts?

My boss recently returned an EVO because the battery life was so poor it really can't be considered seriously as an everyday business phone.

He also had the "screen delaminating" problem. He decided that between the very poor build quality & the atrocious battery life that he would go back to his TP2 (that easily makes it through a day on one battery) & wait for a better quality Android phone to come out.

Like what??

I am asking a serious question, not trying to argue at all.

I recently reserved a DroidX for myself & I THINK at this point that all the WM programs & apps that I use are available for Android, but I'm worried I may have forgotten something.........

Good for you, the only real thing keeping me from a EVO is $$$$$$$$ that I am lacking.

Is it worth switching out of SERO for an Android phone?

That's the eternal question I struggle with every day

So far, I've been holding out, the phones get better every day.

Get 'em while you can kids. Verizon has marked the TP2 as "Out of Stock". I'm thinking that might be the end of the line? Talk about a short run! And for such an excellent phone. Well, excellent before HTC frogged it... sheesh.

The gps lag for TOMTOM was address with changes in the software, some dude came out with TOMTOM Version 7.916.9192 and this addressed the lag problem. Since you said you have the Sero plan my question is what phone are you using currently? Can you live with a phone which will become outdated. Many software developers including Microsoft themselves will not come out with software for windows 6.5 anymore. What is your budget? If you are on a limited budget then I would wait and see what comes out in the fall. Maybe you might get lucky or if the continue to developing the android platform on the touch pro 2 and if they get android working completely it might be worth an upgrade on the Sero plan. But I would wait and see how things unfold before committing to upgrading right now. I sent you a thanks just because you love the 49ers. I can already tell you a classy person by the football team you support.

sure it will last two years and work just fine for you. the tp2 is a nice phone although a little big for me. hell people are still using moguls so tp2 should be good for awhile yet lol.

I would look at getting one after the galaxy pro comes out... thats when a lot of the tp2 holdouts will finally move over to android. should be a buyers market
