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

Okay First let me say that I never hated the TP2 I think its a wonderful machine.

Bing is amazing with turn by turn direction, Themeing is awesome and I can have a different phone every week, with IOS, Windows7, Android, Sense, Mobile shell. I can tether very easily. I think its everything I need in a phone. But the new shiny phones are tempting.

I was a complete noob (and still am to a degree)when I first started and I always heard talk about how Windows OS sucks and how its a hog and drags and everything else and how this phone is sooo outdated. But to be honest I Love my phone.

Running sharkies rom and clearing out the start menu and a few other htc enhancements this phone hasn't froze ONCE in over a week. Its VERY VERY STABLE.

But the oppurtunity of getting a Newer phone is VERY TEMPTING. I may be able to TOL of a sero premium account. for 60$ plan.

Right now I have 1000 mins unlimited data, text picture mail. for only 30$ a month... Even sero can't beat that. Not only that Im not committed to a contract I can leave anytime but with this sero Im locked in for another 2 years. Ive been free since 2009.

So Should I make the jump and pay twice as much for a new plan just for a new phone?

Now to add to the dilemma What type of phone should I get for sprint?

1. htc evo
2. HTC ARRIVE
3. Epic 4g

or wait for the

4. htc evo 3d
5 Galaxy s II

Or some other phone that is not on the list

My phone is in mint working condition. Recieved it from asurion less then 1 month ago...

What phone do you think is best?

Im not sure if its worth it but yet I want a New shiny toy :toothy7:\\:D/

But I love my TP2 :cwm10:

Im going crazzy:confused2:

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

No, you should wait. I'm keeping my TP2 going for one reason and one reason only - a huge wave of new phones with dual-core processors will dominate this year. There's going to be such a huge leap in power and performance with the next gen phones that I just can't commit to the phones that are available today. As of a few weeks ago there weren't any dual-core phones with a QWERTY keyboard, so I'm just being patient and waiting for the killer device to arrive. For example, the HTC Scorpion is supposed to have a 1.5 GHz dual core CPU. The HTC EVO 3D has a 1.3 GHz dual core cpu, shows movies in 3D like the Nintendo 3DS, and even has dual cameras to capture your own videos and photos in 3D. I'm just going to wait a few months and let the dust settle a bit and see who comes out out with the best device. Just too much new stuff on the horizon at the moment (and to let the prices drop a bit too).

...that's another thing stopping me, plus with slingbox my tp2 is a portable cable box.

Iam not getting a new device until they put something on the market thats a real upgrade. Right now companies are adding small upgrades then saying how advanced thier phones are. Trust me I know alot of people with different devices and there isnt too much differnce between them. Actually on android there are some phones that are a step back. Windows Phone7 is an ok phone , but not a superior must have.
As a programmer I dont let fancy commercials or hype get to me. I know whats is real and whats not. Touchpro2 is an excellent device that is has some underpowered processors and lack of multi-touch. Besides the slow processors and lack of multi-touch , you can do almost anything you want in newer devices on this device. I very,very strongly suggest you stick to your device and dont pay attention to the hype of newer phones. Around late summertime there will be launches of new phones that will be closer to a computer in quality. So just wait and you be very happy you did.

Well if you plan on swapping now I would suggest Epic 4g ;)...here is why:

Arrive - no theming..its a locked down platform

Evo 4G - probably has the best dev community out of the 3 but the GPU is horrible and will be completely blown out of the water by the new hardware accelerated apps.

Epic 4G - Has the best CPU out of the 3 and the best GPU, the GPU is actually on par with an Evo 3d and other dual core phones. It also has a kb, if you dont want a keyboard there is the Nexus S 4G which is a pure google phone...

if your going to wait then its a hard call...so far Evo3d is the only one Confirmed..spec wise SGS 2 is better but who knows when sprint will get it..and I hear by end of the year Nvidia is promising Quad-Core phones :/

IF you do get rid of you TP2, let me know.. I'll throw you an offer for it. As to anyone else that is doing the same. ^^

Yeah, or we could pass it along to Sharkie405 with some group support!
