I looked and looked and even popular former TP2 Chefs get queried about a fix like OMJ and said sorry, it's still broken. If you store your contacts in GMail it works. What I had to do was export them from outlook, strip out the Notes in Excel and import them in Gmail. Now I have to maintain two sets of contacts if I want it to work. I have not rooted it yet and probably will. But folks that build Custom ROMs don't have an answer yet. It was only since V2.2 they had Bluetooth Dialing at ALL. Now that I have done that hack, it's working fairly well. But Voice Dial did hang once as well. I don't regret getting it. But boy what a disappointment that was. I'm glad I waited at least this long for Android. I think new phone every 6 month is excessive, but I get the bug every year. With the money I save on SERO I justify it to myself :) I'm still on SERO Premium now. |

They ask permission but they take what they want anyway. :twisted: |
Re: Good time to leave TP2?
oh boy...they're bring on the dual cores soon. I am very tempted at this moment to give up the TP2 in a few months.

P.S I'm pretty sure there is more Android talk in the TP2 Android development forum ;) lol |
Re: Good time to leave TP2?
that's an exception and if WM was dead they wouldn't have updated the Facebook,MySpace or bing apps. bing jus recently got an update because when i installed it after installing lead rom the intro screen said copyright 2011 microsoft ¿cómo lo ves?

I ditched the TP2 because it was a terrible devices. Store more than 100 text messages and it'd freeze up. Not to mention it was slow as molasses. I havent missed a single thing going to the Droid X. I still have my TP2 and all kinds of accessories sitting in a box here. I should sell it all for 100 bucks, but I cant sell something like this terrible in good conscience. |

4 times the rom and twice the ram? I dont really care if those numbers are right or not, the TP2 is much much slower than the optimus, and I'm sure there's a lot of people that can vouch for this in the optimus section, who are previous tp2 users: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/lg-optimus...r-optimus.html the optimus runs the same chipset as the evo, just slower clock speed. Analysis of Qualcomm MSM7x27 (MSM7227 MSM7627) and MSM7x25 (MSM7225 MSM7625) processors - how good are they? - Smartphone Benchmarks (SmartBench 2010/Quadrant) Forum sure, you may not be able to play the fastest racing games (not without a custom rom at least), but it's in a completely different league than the TP2. Sacrifice resolution for multitouch capacitative screen, better battery life, no SOD, better camera, better voice commands, speech to text that works, better navigation, faster, and more reliable phone. |

Re: Good time to leave TP2?
and u must smoke some good stuff if u think that phone with a smaller scree with a lower resolution can be better than one with higher resolution screen, ur pics and videos will look like u are looking at them through the screen of a screen door. how can anyone be satisfied with that? only a fandroid who is blind to the fragmentation thats about to be caused by such devices . ¿cómo lo ves desgraciado cobarde inmundo?

Re: Good time to leave TP2?
Dudes! lets not get argue as vailid poinst wer made on both sides,
and we cannot disregard our user experience. It will vary widely due to differences in apps, and maintenance, and overclock or not, and custom OS or not. I can say that the newer TP2s can be overclocked higher, But really a TP2 will not run optimal on stock OS, and so alot of LESS "techy" buyers unknowingly buy a phone that will give them problems. Just look at all the complaints reviews on Sprint upgrade phone site. Iph*ne and Android devices usually run easier "out of the box". Thats why M$ is going new route with WM7 phones. So it gets a bad rap. As for me, I will stay with my TP2 overclocked on Vinn rom.. at least untill newer devices come out :) |
Re: Good time to leave TP2?
i know about those reviews they're mostly associated with the stock 6.5 rom. wasn't like that with the stock 6.1 rom which is the best stock rom of all time.

Re: Good time to leave TP2?
I am feeling bored with my TP2 now. WP7 cant come fast enough to Sprint. They are slow.

Re: Good time to leave TP2?
I was at a BBQ sometime in June and a few of us put our phones on the wooden deck railing. There were 6 TP2's side by side on 3 different carriers.
The same group of friends was recently together and I noticed that we were down to one Touch Pro 2. The overwhelming sentiment was that the new devices, all running Android OS, were a significant improvement over the TP2. The last TP2 is mine, and it continues to be mine after having tried the Epic for a couple of weeks. So from that anecdote, I'm inclined to conclude that the newer devices are better for some and not for others (or at least me). It remains unfortunate that this concept is difficult to grasp for some people, and even moreso that these same people feel compelled to sway the opinion of the masses with their tiny slice of bias-reinforcing experience. |

Re: Good time to leave TP2?
I guess you could say that I am a slow adopter. I purchased a PPC-6700, a Samsung a920 and a Samsung a-900 when they first came out. They have served us well. We have a fair and flexible family plan with free unlimited 3g data and a 20% employee discount. With all taxes included our bill for the three phones comes to about $90 a month. We usually don't, but if we go over our 800 minutes Sprint charges $5 and adds a 100 minutes. After we get to 1100 minutes Sprint charges $5 and adds 200 minutes. The plan fits us very well.
I am still happy with the PPC-6700... it came with a data cable and sprint technical support originally told me how to tether. I have had a lot of fun using the kitchen to modifying it and getting it set up the way that I like. It is fun to have a five year old PPC that I can do more with than many people can with their new phones. I probably would not be upgrading but my wife decided she wanted an upgrade to her A-900 after she knocked it out the car door and drug it two blocks by it's charger cord. It still works fine but it is looking pretty ragged. We went to the Sprint store and discovered that the best phone we could get and still keep our fair and flexible plan was the TP2. I can't justify adding an extra $60, $70 or more a month to our family budget for a couple of EVOs. We bought a couple of TP2s on Ebay (I am still keeping my A-920 for my beater phone). I am studying the forums for customization tips. This has been a very entertaining thread for me. We are very excited waiting for our TP2s to show up. One person's obsolete phone can be another person's dream phone I guess. |

But there was a turning point when my phone failed on critical instances. I am privileged to work anywhere I want, and when my phone started to fail when my boss contacts me, that's pretty huge since I occasionally deal with mission critical server issues. there is no question there are better phones out there that trump the tp2 in almost every single way, like the iphone 4. If the iphone 4 were available on sprint(and sero users) @ the same price as the tp2, I'm positive it would sell at a ratio of 100 to 1 compared to the tp2. a biased reinforced opinion doesnt necessarily mean it's wrong btw. For you, the TP2 is the best phone out, and you have no choice but to stick with it. saying that the tp2 vs android vs apple debate is subjective is a little misleading. Here is a more simplistic analogy: who is hotter? Sarah Jessica Parker(TP2) vs Candice Swanepoel (Android) or alessandra ambrosio(Apple)... the only reason you would care for parker is because she's loaded. Quote:
It was a downgrade for me, upgrading from a motorola q9c. Constant tweaks to get this thing up to the stability of the q9c, which wasnt very stable to start with. I had lowered expectations moving from one WM os to the other. I understand that price is a factor in moving towards modern devices, hence my wife is using a feature phone on sero...... I've encouraged her to stick with it, rather than to have major frustrations most wm users have. I'm in another country and using a sim card, so I had to use my pair of iphones. It's my wife's first time using it, and she's fine with it. It gets the WAF(wife approval factor) award. If I gave her the tp2, she'd probably have switched to a feature phone. ultimately, you will have a modern looking device, that does not quite live up to modern phone standards, and compares quite poorly in comparison. Not much of an upgrade from your ppc 6700. |

I am hoping mostly just for a better internet browsing experience on the larger screen of the TP2 for those times when I don't have a laptop with me. But I am also looking for some new challenges. I started customizing the ppc-6700 the first day that I got it. I am sure the TP2 has a lot of hidden gems to uncover. I am also looking forward to messing around with running android from the memory card. That would seem to give almost unlimited opportunities for cell phone adventures. These phones and the discussions here remind me a great deal of the computers that I messed with in the early 1980s. I purchased the Timex-Sinclair, the TI-99-4a, the VIC 20, the Commodore 64s, the Atari 2600, the Apples, the Spectravideo SV-328, various Radio Shack computers, and of course the first XT clone that I built from parts. I am a bit of a hoarder and still have working examples of nearly all the above mentioned computers. I can still remember debating the various merits of each with my friends at the time. It may seem a little funny now, but our discussions could sometimes become fairly heated. It is good to appreciate the merits of all of the amazing devices that we are fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to use and enjoy. Fred Sanford, from the 70s television show Sanford and Son said, "An old woman is like a tube of tooth paste... You can always squeeze out just a little bit more." These computer/phones are like that. Someone will always be able to figure out how to get just a little bit more out of them. Some end up being more memorable than others. |

I agree with eric. Except I think he has an Apache which was and probably still is a great device but it is dated because of many things like screen size and resolution plus it is very big and clumsy in my opinion. The Touch Pro2 is definitely an upgrade. |

It also has a resistive screen similar to your 6700, but bigger and able to play encoded videos. It's much more of a powerhouse phone than your 6700, but the software is very bulky, and the swipe movement is slow. It feels like you're running a PC with not enough ram, rather than a smartphone. you'll have much better wifi signal than your 6700, and you should use it as much as possible. Going to android from the TP2 would probably solve a lot of issues as well as create a bunch. Android does not natively sync with outlook. Figure this, you've got a slightly higher power phone, and you're upgrading from your Windows XP desktop to your Windows Vista desktop. By most accounts, vista was a failure on the part of M$. Half assed product. Welcome to the TP2, another M$ half assed product :twisted: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-...ht=sleep+death |
