How do you scroll using your finger on the TP2?

I was playing with a TP2 at the Sprint store today. An employee got it.

I am having a hard time scrolling up/down thru the screen.

I have to press hard. It seems to scroll way too fast if it work. Sometime it doesnt scroll at all.

When I want it to stop, I always end up activating it. For example, I was scrolling thru a list of city weather and I want it to stop and it activate a city instead.

It is very frustrating.

How does this scrolling compared to the iphone? Alot better or the same?

I miss the physical d-pad.

I still like the Treo Pro somewhat.

I takes some getting used to. My friend from work been rocking his t-mobile wing for the last 2 years and when he got his tp2 and started using it for the first time it was funny as hell. I wish I could have recorded it on tape, it was just hilarious seeing him using touchflo for the first time.

HAHA! welcome to Touchflo 6.1.
when the 6.5 update comes out it will scroll much better, alot more like the iphone scrolling.

So I sense its frustration and the scrolling doesnt usually work?

Or is it one of those things of getting use to?

Yep, you just got to get use to it. The scrolling is pretty smooth in my opinion.

no, i agree with you, the scrolling sucks. winmo 6.5 will fix that.

my tp2 screen is very sensitive, even in the corners. the scroll in tf3d is perfect... it might of been a hardware, or a software issue with whoever phone you were using.

Will having a screen protector on it makes it harder to scroll?

I know my Treo Pro works perfectly fine with TomTom7 and I dont know why I want to get the TP2.

My friend coming from a blackberry storm had a hell of a time. Then he realized he just wasn't pressing hard enough so he was always "almost" activating or scrolling but not "committing" the action if that makes sense. Once he more firmly touched he was fine.
