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always heard talk about how Windows OS sucks and how its a hog and drags and everything else and how this phone is sooo outdated.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).

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

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

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 
bleh go for the arrive the Android phones with all these dual core processors don't really have hardware acceleration to take advantage of it. wp7 has hardware acceleration built in and IE9 and some upcoming apps will take more advantage of it as well. who cares of its locked down? the purpose of customization was to tweak the device to work reliably this was a necessity in the tp2 wm6.5 days and even in some Android phones I'm hearing about but it isn't a necessity on wp7 which provides an excellent out of the box experience. since I got my arrive I have never had to soft reset it or anything like that. and with Zune I have access to millions of songs that I can stream without having to download them sure Android has this as well but the apps aren't as good,everything just works .or if u don't want the arrive u can wait and get the mazaa which is a wp7 world phone that is coming to sprint later this year.

Actually, the only thing that doesn't have hardware acceleration is the UI, the apps had hardware acceleration since Froyo..not all apps take advantage of it yet but the new Opera and FF do..

further proving my point

because stock Android looks basically no different than stock WM without HTC Sense, Samsung touchwiz, Sony Panels and whatever the LG interface is called no one would probly even want an Android if it weren't for one of these shells and some interface customizations could also cause lag

I doubt it, all the wp7 converts from Android on wpcentral and xda are saying that nothing on Android was better than Zune, where's the first party solution to this? that's only 3rd party.

Just cause manufacturers choose to include a UI does not mean those are the only choices..there are many popular ones such as Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher, SPB Mobile Shell (just came out), and etc...

CloudPlayer just came out a few days ago..and its not limited to just Android..you can play your music from anywhere as long as you got web access...but there is an Exclusive app for Android(for now, Im sure they'll make a WP7 version in the future)...

As for native solution...Google is working on their Music thing but I haven't payed much attention to it...

thats what im waiting for...has to be dual core, seems like the next big step up. but to clarify, i think all the dual phones, known, all have front/back cams. just read it on engadget today :toothy10: which is another requirment of mine.

edit: did you mean dual cam as in what i said above or something else, now im confused?

eric12341 04-15-2011 11:42 PM
Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 
dual core is all hype and gimmicks same with 4G. this is no different than the console wars of the 90s "oh my system is better because its 32 bit urs is only 16"

Quad Core by end of the year though :/

A 3d camera requires that there be 2 cameras on the back...in Evo 3d's case for example there are two 5mp cameras on the back...by capturing 2 images at once it is able to accomplish 3d photos and video...

4g is definitely not a gimmick..neither is dual core...

4g while is not real 4g and just faster 3g..its still faster...

and dual cores allow for better multi-tasking...once they are fully implemented...so atm it may be a gimmick..but by end of the year ice cream will be out and those phones will be able to make use of both cores.

So far, from what I've seen and read, the Arrive, while superior from a hardware standpoint, is otherwise a step down from the TP2. Until hackers can "unlock" it, such as customization and tethering can be accomplished, I'd stick with the TP2. If you must have a new phone, many praise the Android phones as having more in common with WM 6.5 than W7 phones as far as business users are concerned. WP 7 appears to "dumbed down" to allow M$ to compete with Apple for the consumer market.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 
Excellent view points! Plus developers are still supporting windows mobile. There is a free Angry Birds Adventure Platform game , its simple and fun like iphone games out for our devices. Keep your touchpro2 until a real upgrade comes out.

unless uve actually tried a W7 device for more than 5 mins u don't know the half,in fact not even the basics!

Gee, as a person whose used windows mobile since the days of the Hitachi G, I thought I had a good understanding of the "basics." And as one who always likes to pick up the latest technology, I thought I had spent several times in various Sprint stores experimenting with the Arrive. It's very nice of you Eric to disabuse me of my illusions. I must have imagined my disappointment that the Arrive was less functional than the TP2 in many respects.

Now, if I could only learn to post in your elegant and correct style. Sigh.

nope not even the basics. wm is still there its just that things are more streamlined allowing fir a much more smooth and stable out of the box experience. something that u couldn't get with wm 6.5 and Android without tweaks and yes I've tried the Android build on my tp2 and it isn't anymore stable than a freshly flashed 21916 rom. keep in mind I've been with wm for awhile too (since 2005) so I know what im talking about and also considering that im a VIP and ur just a lurker.

Re: Dont want to give up my TP2, But is it time?
 
I know you like change see alot of you at Timberwolf and Sharkie.
I went from TP2 to galaxy, miss the TP2, however the processors on newer phones are lightning fast.

I'd check the forums and see who is making the android roms and stick with that crowd, more support the more comfortable you will be.

No one can tell you which is the best phone, it's all about what fits you best, hell, I can remember having a MA Bell rotary phone!!!!

Best of luck

Hey Eric you have best position to respond to my inquiries,
but anyone else please chime in.

I amin same position to be ready to move on,
but I admit, don't like change as now I have to relearn all stuff.

I was wanting the "HTC Arrive" as it look most like my TP2,
so I started looking into various comments to a few reviews.

but I read and found 17 various most posted issues,
both trivial and major ones.
So wondering if anyone knows when/if some can be resolved,
or if they exist at all.
Or I may be moving onto Evo3D in Nov.

Here they are(posted from various threads):
1--No Front Facing Camera,
2--No International GSM Support
3--No custom ringtones
4--Limited app library
5--Text messages just stop at 160 characters
6--No multi-tasking
7--No Sprint Live Football
8--Netflix video needlessly pixelated even when on wifi
9--No 4G,yet still have to pay 10 more
10--No FaceTime
11-Absence of sync with Outlook, no Mobile Device Centersync!
12-You can't use it as a drive when connected to a PC
13-There are a few places where the display doesn't flip to landscape mode
14-Keyboard can be difficult to slide out sometimes
15-Lack of microSD slot
16-Zune required for media Sync.
17-Too much swipping is involved if u have lots of apps,
due to the Vertical arrangement.

I am not sure 100% even if these problems exist as I don't have an Arrive,
So don't take this post wrong as if i am knocking it,

I would just like some clarification from those that know.
I'm shure we could take any device and make a similar list.

The biggest reason why Android has advantage over winmo custom roms is that Android has working drivers...if you load up the experimental drivers made by the community you would see some things run faster but they were never completed so they aren't very stable...

If your going to upgrade in november..might as well grab a Tegra 3 quad-core that Nvidia promised by en of year :/

Quote:
1--No Front Facing Camera,
10--No FaceTime
This is the same question...and facetime is apple only...you mean Skype/Qik/Oovoo?

6--No multi-tasking
There is multi-tasking for M$ stuff but no 3rd party multitasking yet..I think in mango?

Everything else I'll let someone with the device clarify..

1--No Front Facing Camera, there may be an addon that will mirror the rear camera over to the front
2--No International GSM Support the arrive doesn't but the upcoming mazaa will
3--No custom ringtones coming in mango
4--Limited app library 13,000 and rising wp7 has faster app development than bb,iOS and Android did in its first year
5--Text messages just stop at 160 characters not a big deal since its so simple to continue typing after send and the person doesn't get the messages any slower,may be fixed in an manufacturer update
6--No multi-tasking not a big deal to me as some apps allow background push notifications but its coming in mango
7--No Sprint Live Football this was crap anyway and there are equivalent apps
8--Netflix video needlessly pixelated even when on wifi only if u started watching on a 3G connection it clears up after a few minutes
9--No 4G,yet still have to pay 10 more carrier issue not an MS issue. 4G is a battery sucker anyway
10--No FaceTime see #1
11-Absence of sync with Outlook, no Mobile Device Centersync! u can link outlook account to hotmail and then they will sync seamlessly
12-You can't use it as a drive when connected to a PC I posted a link to a hack that allows this in the wp7 general
13-There are a few places where the display doesn't flip to landscape mode all the apps I use flip to landscape just fine. even in WM this issue was present
14-Keyboard can be difficult to slide out sometimes not much more difficult than the tp2
15-Lack of microSD slot 16 GB of storage is fine for most needs. there are dropbox apps and SkyDrive if more space is needed. Zune supports unlimited streaming of songs
16-Zune required for media Sync. see #12 and Zune makes it easier to edit tag info. supports WiFi sync and works perfectly with Zune pass
17-Too much swipping is involved if u have lots of apps,
due to the Vertical arrangement. alphabetical jumplist will be added in or even before mango

I am not sure 100% even if these problems exist as I don't have an Arrive,
So don't take this post wrong as if i am knocking it,

I would just like some clarification from those that know.

Every OS got bashed..but it gets a lot harsher as the market matures..This is why windows is so strong in the PC market...its hard for competition to compete in a mature market where a platform has been developed for over 10 years..

Expect 5 years from now that the market will stabilize and almost impossible if not impossible for new OS to enter...

In M$ case though they changed their thing completely as winmo and WP7 have almost nothing a like...so that warrants more displeasure...

I'm not really missing much from WM as I have found some apps with push notifications and such. as for open ness WM wasn't really that open either it had to be hacked to allow for all those taskbar mods,hardSPLs and tethering, once someone finds the exploit for wp7 it won't be any different. same with Android someone already found its exploit and thus it's now able to be rooted. honeycomb is supposedly goin to be more locked down tho.

I read this thread on my tp2 :).
:laughing3:

man o man! i am so glad i ran across this thread as i am in the same boat! im really ready for a new phone but ive had wm since the apache 6700 and ive had every cdma wm phone with a keyboard since then! i am really thinking of moving to android but dont know whether i should:

1 take the offer sprint is giving me for the epic... $164.xx with tax and all and they put a $50 credit on my bill.

2 wait until the evo 3d or better phones come out

3 but the epic, and sell it when the evo 3d or better phone comes out.

i am really leaning towards 3 but im not sure if i will keep becoming eligble for these magic upgrades the next billing cycle after i use my upgrade, like in the past.. 8-[

Ive seen people apply the credit via "loyalty credit" and I've seen Epic go in 3rd party places for $100..not atm though..other then that radioshack offer where you bring in any old phone for credit...

yea i tried to upgrade through radioshack for 89.99 but they couldnt do it since im on sero or whatever... $50 off is fine with me but $100 would have been better! lol.

yea employee care said something about that too. i think i will go through sprint. its only $10 more and i think radioshack charges $36 activation fee when i know i can talk sprint out of an activation fee ;)

well guys it looks like I will be waiting for a chance to get my hands on a sero plan with atleast 1000mins. Hopefully i can find the sero 1250 plan somewhere for sale. I have until maybe the end of the year to find the plan. Because Im waiting to see what they come out with.

Once i do get the plan I will be upgrading but for now My TP2 does everything I need it to do.

Thanks for all the feedback. WHen I have time Ill go through this thread and thank everyone.
