Cool!! We are cheering for you ModmyPPC!!

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

I bit the bullet today and bought a used HTC Hero for $50 to keep me entertained until the Evo 3D comes out. I've been very supportive of WM and the TP2 over all these years and it has definitely taken leaps and bounds since I got it stock, but the fact of the matter is the hardware and OS are just way too outdated. Overclocking my TP2 kept it fresh for me for an extra 6 months but now the wow factor is way past due. Lack of apps/development has forced me to Android. Thanks for the memories TP2/WM!

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

Okay here is my game plan.

Goals:

1. I want to keep my old account alive its a killer
2. Open up a sero plan. and enjoy a new phone I know I said Ill wait but I lied :P

Problem:

I spoke to sprint rep and they told me that I cannot have two seperate contracts with two seperate phone numbers under one social security number.

so here is my solution.

1. I first have to transfer my fathers number to my account. (his account sucks)
2. Do a transfer of liability so he is the owner of the account.
3. Open up a everything plus referral program
4. Find someone with a sero plan and TOL
5. Enjoy my new badass plan and phone! \\:D/

Now its just time to execute.8-[ [-o<

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

just dish out the extra 10 for a blackberry or android.

funniest part of your post:
"this phone hasn't froze ONCE in over a week. Its VERY VERY STABLE."

I havent had to restart my android phone for months. I've never had to restart my iphone, other than when I jailbroke it.

you have very low standards if you think the TP2 is reliable. Truthfully, if there was a dumb phone that could tether and sync outlook contacts, I'de get that over the TP2 any day.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

jaja don't u ever learn to stop posting the same FUD everytime someone has a thread like this or when someone has a problem? enjoy ur iPhony and Android and stop posting FUD in the TP2 forums unless ur helping someone. sorry that the TP2 was such a sh!tty phone for u but none of us who used the stock 6.1 rom or custom roms never had the problems u did.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

it's just a phone... why are your feelings hurt?

I'm giving the TS some perspective on what he considers "VERY VERY STABLE". What's it to you?

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

its not that my feelings are hurt because they are not. I don't even use the phone anymore. the matter is that u keep barging into any random thread with the same nonsense as always dspite what I told u to do to make it stable. I could honestly even bet that 200 of the 228 posts u have are nothing but this nonsense. and for the record I only had to reboot my tp2 due to lockups maybe twice a week at the most,this was on the 6.1 roms and the 6.5.21916 cooked roms but once again u won't listen to this and will continue with ur nonsense that u seem to post 2 or 3 days out of each month then disappear again.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

I'm kinda in the same boat as you but I think I'm gonna get the evo 4g instead. I figure the evo is a huge upgrade from the tp2 already so I'll have a new phone to satisfy me for a bit and then next year I'll get the evo 3d. Plus once the 3d comes out I'm hoping to pick up a used evo 4g for no more than 200 and sell the 3d (upgrade) i get for ~400. Free evo 4g + $200 sounds good to me

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

Here is an alternative plan if your interested..wait till middle of may and then get an Evo, then use 30 days in june to replace it for Evo 3d...

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

that works too but I kinda want the $200 lol

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

I'm believing at this point that I'll be driving my TP2 till the wheels fall off. Currently the EPST says I have 787 Hrs on the life timer. The other 2 TP2's I had that I broke had around 300 or so. This phone has been the greatest phone I've ever used.

There really isn't any phones on the market (or coming) that can take the place of it. I'm waiting for a Windows Phone 7 world phone with a keyboard, dual core processor and removable memory card slot that's easilly removable.:headbang:

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

wp7 is already as smooth as smooth can be (hate the phrase buttery smooth) on the single core processor it doesn't really need dual core processors like Android does to run smooth.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

Dude, before you leave the TP2, you need to try the new ROMs by WCX. I have used sharkey's and did like them, but these are unreal. It's worth a shot, if you're already familliar with flashing:

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

These appear to be GSM ROMS. OP has CDMA.



Just sayin'...

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

been registered and that was jus his second post looks kinda suspicious.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

Yeah, totally. He registered 2 years ago so he could come back on 4/20/2011 and make his post pointing to Wild Child's ROMs. I smell a conspiracy lol :).

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

I too still love my TP2. But I am looking. Would love to have 4g, video conferencing, and apps. But a hard keyboard is a must. I am starting to wonder though if anyone will produce a hard keyboard in the future????

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

they're going to have to....apple is suing everyone that makes touch-screen phones!

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

haha... oh boy.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

Yea, but now everyone can sue apple for this!

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

Yea I know...assholes! it'll be interesting to see what will happen to them as Sammy is their #1 component provider.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

My Epic took the place of my Touch Pro 2 And Then Some! So nice to have a phone that doesn't slow down/lock up/ need a soft reset 50% of the time. I too thought my TP2 was the greatest thing since sliced bread, until I bought an Epic! The TP2 has been collecting dust in my drawer since November.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

I think I'm going to finally bite the bullet and give in to Sprint's crap about smartphones and legacy plans. I'll probably be getting the Nexus S in a couple weeks or whenever it launches.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

Theres no way Ill pay 80+ for a phone bill...

Ill only switch if I can get my hands on a sero plan!

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

Yes, not likely to switch too soon given the lack of phones with ideal characteristics... and my cheap plan. My short list of needs is

1. quad-band
2. dual ghz processor
3. good battery life
4. Android 2.3

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

uh oh. looks like we're about to lose another one to the dark side.

I'm going to try to fight temptation as long as possible and hopefully Sprint will get a really nice WP7 device.... I thought I was ready for Android, but I was just playing with the Evo, I'm not ready yet lol.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

i can't wait for that evo 3d, gunna be amazing :)

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

I went from the TP2 to an HTC Arrive and I could not be happier.

I imagine that going from a keyboard rockin' TP2 to an all touch screen HTC EVO 3D would be tough. I also imagine the 3D is going to be gimmicky and suck down battery life...but I admit, I hate 3D with a passion. So you should probably just ignore my 3D hate.

I really just don't see 3D as having any place on a phone.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

+1 yea I don't see the point in 3D period! Android has enough power management problems as it is especially when being used with the other gimmick aka 4G. despite that it still for some reason has a large following on this site. the arrive just now took 2nd place over the EVO 3D which is still another 3 months away at least and I heard the 3D effect on the Nintendo 3DS was making kids dizzy and harming general vision. kinda similar to the virtual boy situation of the mid 90s.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

I also dont see much use for the 3d either..until maybe they get 3D OLED..(saw a 3D OLED screen at CES 2011 and didnt even know it was 3D..looked like looking through a window)...

That said I don't see a reason why it would use up more energy...

2nd place in what?

It doesn't have that much power management problems...that said Gingerbread improves power management I hear. As for 4G..its not a gimmick...its just faster 3G..the problem right now with 4G is this:

1) Original EVO had no 4G idle, Epic and on do so that has been addressed.

2) You are effectively running 2 radio chips at once..while 3G is turned off when using 4G, the 1X and 4G are running both at same time..thus more energy drain.

3) 4G is not very strong in many places thus drains more energy when connecting/disconnecting and trying to pick up weak signals.



But I want to clarify, this is for Sprints and Verizon's implementation...on T-Mobile and AT&T which use HSPA+ is backwards compatible...as its effectively 3.5G..and in no way energy drainer or a gimmick.

Personally I use Sprint 4G when I gotta download those 100mb files or get to a place fast...I notice the web loads instantly almost when on 4G...so whilee it may not be something that I keep on all the time..its VERY useful when needed.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

It looks like its harder to get a sero plan then I thought.

All that I can ever find is the 500 min plan w/out the 3 free numbers!

I mean common did anyone ever buy the 1250 plan!

Im struggling looking for these two plans. Mainly the 1250 plan.

If anyone can Help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks to anyone willing to help!

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

+5) Big Super Amoled Screen
6) Very thin
7) A tp2 keyboard


Dont get mad just start getting used to it. LOL

Dont fight it just come to darkside as Eric12341 put it your ready you just dont know it yet

Wow that send me back in time i remember those i Had one


If you havent already got a phone i think you should go with the Epic since imo its awesome but lacks updates from Samsung/Sprint but the Developers do a great job or You should wait for the Galaxy S2 which hopefully Sprint will get one thats if you can wait till then

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

I cant vote. You didnt put Evo 3D on there.

Edit - I didnt look thru the screen. Its there.

Looks like most people are jumping off the Microsoft plateform, just like me.

It is not a good sign.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

Agree, a lot of people here are going elsewhere, especially since most users here love to mod or have special needs. Working in a retail environment, I see more and more regular users with WP7s, talk to them about it and they are loving it which is a good sign(compared to WinMo users I talked to who always have some discontent-sound familiar?). Like everything there are always pros and cons. Hopefully we will reach the balance point where the average user picks it up and loves it yet offers everything we as users here love too.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

Well said Steve!

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

wow VIP now, when did that happen?

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 

WP7 sucks, said it before it came out, will say it again, the whole UI makes me want to puke... that or throw "panels" at people... WM6.1 and WM6.5 RIP you golden era child, so many quirks that made you suck but you STILL win over WP7!


That all being said, I am looking to jump off my TP2 as well (sprint as well), looking into an HD2 or maybe an HTC Evo Shift 4G or Evo 3D (on Boost, Sprints cheaper bastard child network)
