Guilty of what!?!?
I'm posting in the Touch Pro 2 Forums not the Evo Forums.
If I went to the Evo Forums and posted the same words he did do you honestly think I wouldn't get flamed? Maybe this shows how every Android/iphone/any phone other than WinMo user can do no wrong on this site.

I'm in the same shape as the OP. I still have a warm place in my heart for my tp2. I actually got my wife an iphone and I activated her Blackberry tour to use for a while just to see. As it turns out...the blackberry does a really good job of handling my work email, texts, and facebook. Not to mention actually running I heart radio, a good free weight tracker with internet database of calorie information. And the battery life is so nice.

If the people working on android had a complete android build I'd be running that just due to the availability of new app development.

I think both my tour and my tp2 are quadband. The tour does not have wifi.

I will not be giving my tp2 away as its so awesome. But as far as using it as an everyday phone, it was getting a bit frustrating due to battery life, and slowness as the op suggested.

It has been retired to use as a garmin gps and bluetooth streaming media as a permanent fixture in my car. I like it.

Furthermore, if I went and made a similar post in the Evo Forums on this site I would be accused of baiting and trolling to try to get Evo users to flame me. You guys told us to report this kind of crap so that's exactly what I did! I was told if I witness stuff like this to report it and it will stop so I'm not sure why you are questioning me for reporting it.

i see you edited your post but i left and to answer your question about using report button, i had no idea you reported the thread and i was just reading tp2 threads. like i said the op is asking a serious question but maybe worded it in a way that offended you as a tp2 user but as you can see from other tp2 owners they understood op and seems they were also wanting ideas what to use tp2 for now that they have new device.

hmmm..

OP, change the ROM if you think NRG is slow, nothing is stopping you.. dont need to be activated to switch ROMS - that might help you a bit..

also theres "almost" nothing your unactivated phone cant do if it has wifi available to it.. except maybe make calls...

your TP2 can also run Android, WIN95/98/ Ubuntu and Rhobuntu....

if you ask me the best way to "remote" your PC is by installing Android on that TP2 and using PhoneMyPC app.. love this app...

so you do have options

Android would be sick on my TP2. I know you can put it on your SD card and launch it once windows mobile boots up, but can it be installed as the main ROM?

[Counterfeit]

Running it as the main room isn't ready for regular users like you and I quite yet. head into the TP2 Android Forum..it's under NAND Booting or testing. Android is sick.

OP - If you were feeling generous you could donate it to an Android dev But the other ideas here rock.

You could install a bunch of games and give it to your kid (if you have one) to keep them occupied in the car. With no active service you wouldn't need to worry about your kid accesing the internet, accidentally dial, etc. My wife has an Epic and is always giving it to our daughter to play games. Amazing what sort of apps she downloads without knowing it. Of course, she is 4...

don't forget you can still dial 911 by accident
