Seems like all the cool kids are doing it...

Doesn't seem like there's any real cutting edge ROM development...
MS is working on WP7 now so nothing new coming down the pike for OS or really any software to speak of...

What do you all think?

I think you're babbling again and even if the cool kids are doing it, jumping ship and getting one ISN'T gonna make you cool, no matter how hard you try.

It seems like there's still plenty of WM ROM development going on, and also the Android port. And enough people are still tinkering with the device that the overclocking finally got figured out. It's pretty obvious that the TP2 is at the end of its life cycle but it's not totally dead just yet.

Couldn't have said it better. I'm loving the android port and it's only going to get better.

Vin's are my go to rom when i'm not looking for another one to be even more stable, but even that rom can't be great if the phone is a pos. It's a shame they didn't make it with better specs, jeeze, its not even a year old yet. It should have been cutting edge when it was released lol.....

Now I think we can all agree that stock rom's suck donkey balls, however there are many custom roms on here that are stable as all hell, X, Mighty, Vin, Mals, I can keep going on and on. Sounds to me like you've got either a hardware issue or a user created issue, because I've had my TP2 since Sprint release day and can't say it's unstable at all. Look in X's thread, Mighty's thread, Vin's thread, etc, the problems you see are very rarely chef/TP2 created issues, most are user created, and to blame the phone (unless it's a hardware issue) is a shame.

i agree medic, im just playing with the android port on my tp2. seems to do the job to get used to android till i finally make the switch.

Re: So.... TP2 a dead platform?

The TP2, the HD2, and HTC Universal are the best phones ever made for the WMO platform and will remain that way in history. Too bad I never released my roms because they kicked ass on my TP2.

Also psycho is right, TP2 best keyboard ever!

Lastly never argue with Fish, he is always right.

Peace

Re: So.... TP2 a dead platform?

I must be missing something. My TP2 with stock 6.5 ROM works fine. I am able to tether OR use HTC Wifi Router without any problems. Email works well. Text messaging is stable. I can browse the web with a static browser (Opera) or see flash video with Skyfire. Google Maps and BING do an excellent job as a secondary GPS. Slingbox is also dependable. All this while paying significantly less on SERO.

It is disappointing to see the limited of number of WinMo Apps on MS Market Place compared to Android (or iPhone), but I don't use my phone as a game platform or toy. I can survive with the basics and the known quirks.

In the end, I won't pay extra $$ for an HTC Android device that has a similar UI as WinMO (Sense). I believe hardware specs vice "Android" is what makes the phones more responsive.

I'll stick with my rotary dial phone until an improved touch tone phone is available under SERO for no extra cost.

Whoa Tiger... I never said I hated my TP2, I've actually been quite satisfied with it, nor did I saw WinMo sucks... I'm just saying they're at the end of their lifespan!

Kind of like the horse and buggy... there wasn't really anything WRONG with it, the car was just better.

I'm thinking my TP2 is going the way of the horse and buggy.

really? where's a source to verify this? and stop comparing the TP2 to the EVO or droid X,its very corny, cheap,senseless and immature. of course they're gonna be running smoother than the TP2 they have 1.5-2x the specs. its hardware not the OS.

Whoa....easy there killer.....he is just talking about phones....stop taking your phone so serious....there is more to life than phones.....

Re: So.... TP2 a dead platform?

Talk about dead on release.

TP2 was hardly D.O.A. it was highly anticipated and sold out for months... so "dead release" doesnt even come close...

i agree i ran stock for months and months in the begining.. i wouldnt flash because i hated the way there was now a license involved and you had to pay for a new license if you need another for another TP2... but there wsnt ONE thing i couldnt do stock, that everyone else was doing with Custom Roms...

i have to agree though, everyone comparing TP2 to brand new devices are just way off base... even Fanboys know better than to try to compare an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone OS4.. its just an unfair comparison... so why does everyone try to do it with winMO?

Theres still people using Moguls, TP1s and still LOVE their phones wholeheartedly... so what, because a Mogul, TP1, TP2, HD2, or any other winMO device doesnt have "todays specs" its a shit phone now?? what ever happened to : "Whatever works best for the individual End User is whats Best".. i mean shit thats what we all tell people in those infamous "best rom threads", we tell everyone that it comes down to what works best for Their Needs..

so guess what people, maybe the TP2 is still what "works best for us"..

anyone hating on the abilities of Project Android and/or XDAndroid honestly are just hilarious... the fact that even got pulled off, makes winMO a more "open to development" platform than Android or iOS... since NO OTHER platform allows for that much open development... so just be grateful you even got to play with Android on a winMO device... shit, theres plenty of Android devices that dont even have Froyo yet and maybe never will get them.. to bad for them though, if they had a TP2 they could have Froyo already..

My TP2 will still do just about anything any Android device can do... if theyd of given us a winMO device with 1-1 1/2GHZ processors, and 1GB Ram/Rom itd be a whole new comparison... but they didnt, so its just not fair to compare any of the devices..

post is getting long, time to wrap it up.... im not a DEV at all.. but I still look for new things to do, always... i dont even know Linux, but because my TP2 can do it, i tried Ubuntu.. i did the whole Full Win95/98 thing..so i guess Ill leak here offically what im working on.. its not really new, since Android does already.. but Im currently developing booting Multiple Roms from SDCard... so when your device starts up you can select between different winMO roms to run, just like you can in the other "gen y dual boot-like" startup utility... so in theory you can hold as many Roms as you want.. figure its just soemthing new to delve into and maybe give people something fresh to play with..

anyways.. winMO still rocks because no matter how old we can still tweak it out better than any other platform..
