program memory is less but storage is more.I also found out that bluetooth got a total facelift,I believe it has a new BT stack now,by using my Plantronics Voyager 855 stereo BT headset,i can only control audio from the headset itslef but not on the device anymore,good thing is,bt music audio is much louder now than my Diamond b4,i'm going to try my Moto S9 HD tonight when i get time to see how it sounds like.

I am from Sprintusers and some guys over are saying that its not worth the upgrade from the TP1. They have mentioned that upgrading to TP2 makes you loose the magnetic stylus, LED flash,internal memory for storage, 32 megs ram, light sensor for auto dimming,hybrid capacitive lower dpad and something about no drivers. Can someone explain that one?

One thing you have to remember is that we are all different people with different needs. Ok so it doesn't have a magnetic stylus, that doesn't bother me at all and doesn't prevent me from using the phone the way I normally would. Removable flash card? I am assuming you mean memory card. Now come on, how many of us actually use the one that it comes with? If it did come with one it would probably a 512mb or 1gb card, is that really a deal breaker? Hell you could easily get an 8gb for $13 free shipping. Now the ram issue I can understand but once you see how responsive this phone is especially running a stock rom then it won't be an issue any more. Yes the lack of a dpad will take some getting used to but thats the case with anything new and as far as no drivers, thats been an on going issue and not specifically related to the tp2 itself. If you are on the fence about getting one, remember sprint will give you 30 days to try it out. Make a decision on based on whats important to you and not what some else said. I really like this phone alot and I don't have any regrets at all about getting it and it was definitely worth the purchase. And yes I am upset about the lack of flash for the camera

Sorry guys. I made a few corrections since it looks like I did a few thing wrong. Reread my paragraph please. I just updated the memory question and added the light sensor for auto dimming the back light. thats something that I really liked about the TP!.

The light sensor on the TP2 does automatically adjust the backlight on the screen to dim or brighten depending on lighting conditions and it also controls the backlight on the QWERTY keypad

To me, it is not worth to upgrde to tp2 after I tried TP2 a couple days, I feel like I am going to stick with tp1. Data speed is about the same as tp2, it just has better screen, memory is less than tp1, is it an upgraded phone from tp1? Memory should be equal or more than tp1, but it has less memory than tp1. It is not worth to pay $ 349.95 plus tax. I am returning the phone right now.

What do you mean about less memory? I keep seeing that comment, but what memory are you and other folks referring to?
