Anyone going to pass on the tp2? - Page 3

I'm gonna pass on the TP2 as well. I don't think a bigger screen and a louder speaker is worth buying another phone. Even if the tp2 has excellent battery life, it's ok. My phone can last all day on a single charge, and that's all I need.

I really dont see the point to upgrade from my touch pro.. Aside from a slightly larger screen and a tilting keyboard there really isnt a difference. I already have manila 2.1 why bother?

I'm definately passing on the TP2. It's just not worth it....for me, anyway.

I am happy to upgrade. I have a sprint TP on verizon. I am tired of not having insurance and everytime I plug it in, it brings up the Activesync menu even though its only a charger. I don't think it will make it another 8 months till the next gen arrives. Its time to make it the back up assuming I can get the ESN added to vzn. I panic everytime it takes extra time to startup thinking its finally toast.

Are you sure about that, Most chefs are moving to the TP 2 or diamond 2. Touch pro is slowly dying. Noticed the lack of Rom updates. Besides you need a bigger res screen to run it right

Rushing out to purchase the junk that HTC decides to toss at us is the reason why they will never fix their older phone. An aluminum back cover with a small amount of heat transfer tape on the area that gets hot below the light and on the battery is a quick fix but they will never do it. (Yeah, I made a make-shift one that worked)

GPS lag is a completely fixable issue that they just don't give a damn about. I can get videos to play good after converting it to the perfect specs. I see no lag in nearly 100% of non htc phones. I don't believe anyone that says that their tp is lagless. The specs say that the tp 1 is a "Fully built and turbocharged Viper" but at times it functions like a "Ford Excursion with a 50cc engine with a blown cylinder".

The loss of flash? I admit that flash is worthless for photos but I use that feature more than I make calls. LOL this is a complete downgrade IMO.

FAIL!

Qualcomm 7600 > Qualcomm 7201A
WVGA > VGA
New Manila > Old Manila
Notification LED > Non-existent
New (larger) Keyboard > Old (smaller) Keyboard
New Loud Speaker > Old (failure) Loudspeaker
Proximity Sensor > Non-existent
Tilt Screen > Non-existent
No overheating > Overheating
GSM Radio > No GSM Radio
3.5mm Jack > 2.5mm Jack

Should I just stop now? Because I can't see how this is a downgrade in any way shape, or form. Please note, to understand this comparison to the TP the > symbol means "greater than".
