Any reason why I shouldn't buy a TP2?
 
I'm starting to think about replacing my Mogul with a TP2 from Sprint (if I can find a decent price anyway). But after seeing a few mentions of TP2 issues, I thought it might be a good idea to check and see if there were any significant problems with some of the software that I would need to migrate from the Mogul to the TP2:

1) iGuidance
2) GPSGate v2.6 (which is needed on the Mogul to allow iGuidance to work)
3) PDANet
4) SOTI PocketController Pro
5) MusicID

This is the software that I use most on the Mogul. But if there are other known and troublesome software problems on the TP2, please share those as well.

Another thing I'd be worried about is Bluetooth. I've seen a couple of mentions of TP2 Bluetooth problems. My biggest concern would be to make sure that my Motorola stereo BT headset works properly, as I use that for nearly all of my calls.

I've already seen the thread covering things like dead pixels and/or troublesome keyboards. If I run into those, I can always arrange an exchange. But if there are other hardware/software problems that can't readily be solved by swapping phones, please mention those as well.

Thanks in advance for the consultation!

Illegal aliens are the only reason I would consider not buying this phone.

I use a Motorola S9-HD stereo BT headset everyday at work with my Verizon TP2, it works just fine.

Unless your waiting for hell to freeze over, great phone if you can get it for a good price.

the only reason why i dont have the phone yet is because im waiting for verizon to take over this area and then i can get the phone without (hopefully) having to change my plan at all.

only reason to wait is if the hd2 comes to sprint early next year.

One complaint I have is that all my friends and co-workers want to keep playing with it.
