getting rid of TP1 with TP2 comes
 
Anyone besides me getting rid of the touch pro when TP2 comes out? I am because its gets hot as hell and it stopps charging when I use sprint nav and my battery goes dead half way in my trip.

I'm gonna try to get a free upgrade somehow when sprint runs out of tp's

with all the people who returned these babies, i'm sure they'll have plenty of refurbed tp1s floating around.

good luck with that. I second that it will be a long time before they rub out. I got my diamond free when they ran out of the touch, but that was a year after the diamond came out. the touch pro has so many problems so I am sure they have a abundant amount

Yeah I'll probably upgrade when I can, but I won't be "getting rid of" my TP1 by any stretch.

why would you go to the TP2 what are the "better options" its slower and has less memory.

Re: getting rid of TP1 with TP2 comes
 
If the TP1 was so terrible for you, what makes you think that the TP2 is going to be a godsend? Isn't it essentially the same phone with a larger screen?

deadwrong03 08-08-2009 12:51 PM

Re: getting rid of TP1 with TP2 comes
 
i want the tp2 because it looks better than verizons touch pro, and hopefully it has the ram that was removed from verizons touch pro 1, push internet, and tf3d2

verizon customers are more justified in trying to get this phone if they leave the ram specs imo...otherwise like u said its the same phone with minor changes

You should google the TP2 specs to see what its going to have. Then youll probable find its not going to be a special release. It hasnt turned any heads thus far and I dont think it ever will

Re: getting rid of TP1 with TP2 comes
 
Since Sprint will be releasing a WM6.5 update for the TP, I will keep my TP.
I only paid $1.05 for my Touch Pro when I was having so many problems with my Mogul.
The new TP2 lacks a camera flash, dpad, voice services, and to me, the back is ugly.
Also, the speakerphone requires that you put it screen down, talk about scratches!!
I'M going to wait this one out until the WM7 devices roll out...

TP2 doesnt get a hardware refresh..... only bigger screen. You'll be disappointed if you think you are leaving TP problems behind you.

its a quad band device.. gsm AND cdma, plus the gps radio... dont think for a sec it wont have the same overheating issues...

the mogul overheated, and it wasnt corrected with the TP... so i doubt the TP2 will be different... Has HTC made a new device in the past 2 yrs that doesnt overheat while charging and doing things??? until they upgrade their batteries they use(UTStarcom, actually recalled their batteries in the WING awhile back, same battery used in Moguls-sprint refused to do a recall, yet Tmobile mailed em out without customers even asking) we'll always have these issues...

too many radios, and were trying to do too much while its charging... the problem is us, not the device necc... although, theres no reason not to be able to make a call and it stay charging, which the TP doesnt do

Re: getting rid of TP1 with TP2 comes
 
I can't see the touch pro 2 as an upgrade because getting a bigger screen doesn't change the internal components. I like it for the big screen. that's it.

this reminds me of what car manufacturers do. they come out with a model and two years later they change the tail lights and a few knobs inside and act as if its so much better. tf3d2 has been floating around for a year. the only thing you getting is a big screen and better keyboard. we will see how many migrate to it when it comes out.

to me the only real draw is its bigger.. people coming from the Mogul might love the TP2 as its probably close in size.. i know, for me anyways, if i could have all my TP storage in a mogul body, id still have a mogul... thats kinda what the TP2 is to me, just a TP in a bigger shell...

i certainly wont be getting one.. well if sprint throws some free deal my way sure, but thats about it

The only reason that I would like it would be because of the bigger screen.

agreed, the bigger screen would be great imo, since you cant really use full screen in PIE very well.. so it'd be nice to browse with a fuller screen-not an opera or skyfire fan personally

TP does everything I need. A 6.5 upgrade will do until I get my hands on a free TP 2.:mrgreen:

yea Ill take a free TP2 but even then would probably use it for a bit and get rid of it.

I'd upgrade if I could afford it but I don't have $800 to spare right now.

Re: getting rid of TP1 with TP2 comes
 
well thats what i'm waiting to test. if I get a tp2 and it overheats like mogul and tp1 then its back to treo. my treo 800w was "made by HTC". and I never get overheating problems from it.

At least as of month ago that was the price for an unlocked phone. On eBay they appear to be selling for about $650.

Dragon2 08-08-2009 06:34 PM

Re: getting rid of TP1 with TP2 comes
 
I once thought all that, untill I keep seeing vids on it.... The screen is huge, That alot is woth the $, theres a video next to the g1 and it dwarfs it.... Also the keyboard is fantastice and hopefully wont go out like our damn pros do..... The speaker on the tp1 blows donkey wang, and the tp2 speakers seem to rock.... The titlting screen is also pretty sweet IMO... Ultimately this is what I would ask if I was to change some thing on the tp1, and now here it is, the tp2, yea its basically the same phone, but in a robocop type body, and its gonna be sweet... :u I tried talking myself outta one, but cant do it anymore, its so close and its just time for a new phone, and what better than the same one, in a different body..... Oh and the battery last a tad longer which is a plus and the screen is so sensitive its almost as sensitive as a capacitive screen,,,, thats another huuge plus..... Pictures are also gonna look awesome on it.....

P.s. Go Forrest griffin, kick anderson silvas arse tonight in the UFC... off topic:headbang:

Still have the mogul eh? I don't know if I'd ever make that statement.

I kno I am because verizon will probably mess up the TP2 like they did the pro & get rid of some of the memory and alot of other things

the TP2 is going to bomb. bigger/higher res screen and the same internals = crappier performance. plus, word on the street is, you won't be able to get the TP2 on a SERO plan.....

Where does this word on the street you've heard come from? I've been talking to many of my former coworkers at sprint (corporate not 3rd party) and they haven't heard of any restrictions being put on the phone like the instinct or pre have.

I think your just gonna have to give him a pardon on this one. He must not be talking about the same phone that we are.

Most of these have already been previously mentioned but...
-Higher resolution, larger display
-Improved screen touch response (according to reviews... we'll have to see)
-Larger, offset key keyboard that is one of the best on a phone (again, according to reviews)
-Official TF3D2 so it should (hopefully) be more stable than the current VGA ports for the TP1
--Includes landscape TF3D, much better calendar, TF3D screen customizations, more settings, etc.
-Better speakerphone and noise cancellation than the TP1
-TBD but it looks like the CDMA version of this phone will have a 3.5 audio jack
-Better performance than TP1, xperia X1, omia i900 (but not as good as the new omnia II)

Downsides...
-No flash
-A lot of things to be determined yet... the biggest is real world performance, batter life, overheating, etc.

The Mogul is closer in size to the TP1, NT THE TP2. SAME SIZE SCREEN AS TP1. THE BASIC PHONE IS THE SAME SIZE AS THE TP1. WHERE DO YOU GET THE MOGUL BEING CLOSE TO THE SIZE OF THE BRICK TP2?

I said except the better screen and if you didnt happen to catch the HTC Pro 1 when it was comming out they prommised a bunch of stuff that they didnt deliver here in the US but by the looks of it the only thing that will be different will be the tilting (something else to brake) and better speaker witch I dont use. I just posted the official specs a few posts back.

Did you read my post; I SAID NOTHING ABOUT A MOGUL BEING THE SAME SIZE OF A TP2. WHY ARE YOU TYPING IN CAPS ANYWHO?

The post I was responding to said they would like to have their mogul if it the storage of the TP1. I said I don't think I would ever make that statement.
