IMO thats no equivalent because its not a htc device. I called verizon last week and they told me it was a retired device. I dont understand why. This device is kick ass. I just got one a couple months ago via insurance. Now i have to try not to break this one. Hopefully if I do i can get another though insurance.

IMHO
WiMo has the worst menu / GUI ever thought of.... some like titanium, i just don't get it. Love Sense but it's bloated. LOVE my Leo Energy with Cookie...
MS should spend a million, hire NRG & Cookie & refine out all little bugs & they'd have a winner w/o WP7!

I think that the people who work for MS own and use Blackberrys

i kinda wish i could have tried the vzw rom with 2.1 and 6.5 in it. that seemed like a good idea. 2.1 had some bloat but not as much. i finally took out the weather animations on the home screen cuz it was flooded with clouds. seems to run faster now, well the today tab

i really like htc sense though. some people dont like it because its too many taps to one thing, but im so used to it it doesnt bother me.

VzW 6.5/2.1 was TERRIBLE. It was the worst of the 3 VzW ROMs (6.1, 6.5/2.1, 6.5/2.5). So many quirks...

OK, late to the party and all that...

I just called Verizon, knowing that there was a good chance nothing was available.

My keyboard stops working along with the physical buttons below the screen (all but the end/power button). Happens every day, sometimes multiple times. A soft reset solves it for a while.

Tried for a warranty claim as my warranty is up in September. They have no phones! I was told they would monitor availability and call if they received more refurbs in.

Any suggestions how to resolve this? If I get an android device under warranty, anyone want to swap for a Verizon TP2 (fully functional)?

yes i noticed this too i wonder if its b/c of the other HTC phones that came out?

Friday, I was on with VZW tech for a GPS problem. Being nice enough, they opted to warranty-exchange my TP2 however, not for another TP2.

After not succeeding at working out a deal between Support, and a store for another TP2 at my expense, I agreed to accept an LG Fathom.

At 1Ghz+, I'd call it a fair upgrade but, as annoyed as I was with the animated clock in TP2 MR1 & 2, I now miss the rest of HTC Sense the same way I miss the default Today of WinMo6.1.
