Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

I haven't used the tilt feature at all, but it does wobble some. I'm guessing that it's a design limitation as others have stated. Still feels sturdy when tilted, but i have no real use for a tilted screen, ever.

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

This is great feedback guys...the main reason I started this poll is there are other threads where people talk about it and someone else jumps in and says "take it back"...it looks like if you took it back you'd very likely end up with the same thing...

I have yet to use the tilt so it doesn't bother me otherwise...

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

verizon tp2 with slight wobble. no bother as most have mentioned. never really tilt it to be honest, i only open it to use the keyboard for typing, then close her back up.

After voting can you all please post your vote along with what carrier you have?

I am starting this thread because I have a slight "wobble" in my screen (Sprint) but otherwise I do not have ANY issues with my TP2 (no dead/stuck pixels, etc) so I am afraid to exchange it just because of the "wobble"...

EDIT: To clarify I mean front to back...when tilted if I push the back of my screen towards the front, it moves a little and when letting go it sits back to where it started...
No dead or stuck pixels? I wouldn't exchange that phone due to a wobble in a million years. All the TP2's I have seen, both T-Mobile and Sprint have it. Most (actually all but 1 that I have personally seen) have stuck pixels too so consider yourself lucky and just live with the wobble.

Oh I agree...there's no way I am exchanging...I wanted to make this poll to get people to relax about the wobble...I would see people post about the wobble (or the youtube videos) and others would tell them to take it back immediately...as you can see from the poll, it is quite a common thing...

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

I think this wobble is mostly an unavoidable by-product of a design that allows infinite tilt angles. The alternatives would be click stops at fixed angles, or making the tilt hinge mechanism so stiff that it would be very hard to move.

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

Mine wobbles only if I shake it up and down. Otherwise, it doesn't move when typing. While it's not as perfectly stiff like my Touch Pro, it's not all loosey goosey like my Mogul was.
