I helped T-Mobile out today
 
Well, I have been waiting to play with the Touch Pro 2 and today I went to T-Mobile to fool around with it.

The "floor model" wasn't on when i picked it up so I powered it up and was instantly disappointed to see WM 6.1. I mean I have been using NRG's 6.5 ROM so you can imagine that seeing the green screen and then looking at the start menu was generic compared to the 6.5 versions...bleh!

The T-Mobile version felt cheap to me but the screen response was nice. I like my TP because it is heavy. I will still get one.

Anyway, once the CS agent walked away i popped my SD card into the back loaded a custom 6.5 taskbar from Tsowen and restarted TF3D. I left the store and the phone pimped out. Customers who come in to purchase this phone may be disappointed when the discover that their new TP2 has a white and generic looking taskbar when they get home.:mrgreen:

So that is my review with a bit of fun added in.

Love it. I used to go in to Mogul display units (working) and IR beam a photo of a topless woman and set it to be the background wallpaper on the Today screen

Should put Verizon or Sprint logos on the phones startup or background screen or even better flash a Sprint or Verizon rom to the phones! Or go the ultimate route and copy the ESN from a Verizon demo unit onto another stores unit... that would be hilarious

LOL! That's funny. They will replace it with a different one though because if someone bought it under the notion that's what they were getting, the store could get in trouble I think.

Go back and see if it's still modded

Sounds kind of like what I used to do years ago when Radio Shack was selling the TRS-80 computers. I'd go in and program the demo computers into an endless loop, so that the screen was constantly showing something like "Radio Shack Sucks."

The Reps probably wont even know the difference unless someone tells them.

They would just send the phone back to T-mobile and put up a different one. And if they have cameras in the store they would know who did it as well >.>..

also swapping ESN is illegal in the USA I think..and Tmobile uses SIM

Huh?

I did nothing with any of this....I just loaded a custom taskbar.

Biggz, he wasnt replying to what you said he was replying to my suggestion of popping on an ESN from another carriers demo unit.

It would be illegal, not to mention you'd be sitting there for a damn long time reprogramming the thing, probably need a pc as well to do it. That might be a little bit suspicious
