Thoughts on the Verizon Touch Pro2

It's only the first time you need to use the end call button. Otherwise your phone is "sleeping", and the top button wakes from sleep, however if you pull the battery or kill it for a full power-down, you'll need to use the end call button once again to turn it back on.

The stock rom is freaking incredible, best I've ever used. I don't miss 6.5, because 6.5 for me offered nothing more than performance improvement over 6.1, and that isn't a problem on this phone. I didn't use the fancy interface of 6.5 or anything like that, always back to the normal, or spb mobile shell.

The stock speaker is amazing. The clarity and volume which it plays music is outstanding. Really blows me away. It's the type of sound quality you'd expect out of a nice set of powered speakers for your computer to replace your internal poor quality speakers. This, of course, also means speakerphone quality is awesome. And ringer volume.

Also, I have fat fingers. I have found that the diamond keyboard works beautifully with my fingers, and took no getting used to, when using my 6900/touch. Down side, it takes up 60% of the screen.

Not true at least on the Verizon one. I just pulled the battery and as soon as I put it back in I was able to press the top button and it booted up. It may be just the first initial turn on that requires the end press key. Try it you'll see.

But to stay on topic this is the best phone I have ever had period. I like all of the upgrades and tweaks made to this device. It's hard to tell the TP1 and TP2 are made by the same company and I;m talking about the Sprint one which is what I had before this one on VZW still. I can't believe VZW let this phone get out of there hands as perfect as this one did. That's just not like you Verizon.

I agree 100% In fact it's so beautiful I can't stop looking at it! I've been thinking of sending a letter to Verizon corporate thanking them for the progress they've made in the past year in regards to not gimping phones. I remember the standard excuse was that all phones underwent "rigorous testing" before they would release them and that's why it took so long. I'm so glad that excuse is no longer being used.

I'm not sure why everybody thinks this phone is so bulky, maybe a lot of people are coming from a diamond or touch, but let me tell you I came from a samsung i760 and this thing feels like it's not even there. Awesome phone!
