Boo Hoo;sniff bye TP2 (critique)

I am really going to miss my tp2 it was a beautiful phone......
I ordered and paid in full price the first day that they were out......

I truly wanted to believe, I truly did....

First of all the speakerphone quality is superb and the phone itself is fast and repsonsive; battery life was very very good.

So much for the good.

After the wow of the gorgeous tilt screen was over,
(basically like a 1 night stand) I just tried to use and to tweak the touch flo interface.The only thing it added was an extra layer of icandy that I just don't need in the way(speed had nothing to do with it).

This "business class" phone had much potential but they foooged it up! It could have been so great but they crippled and disabled many things.
Before getting this superphone, I dreamt of it like sleeping with a supermodel.

I own a Tech based business with many many clients and I even do remote desktop support from my phone.

Everything was just too many steps. Too many.
So much for making my life better, ah well.

The main reasons for going back are:

#1 copy and paste from internet, email & messaging
first and foremost how stupid to not include the ability, natively.

Default browser & Internet
this is windows mobile, right?
Wheres the soft menu buttons for Internet settings in IE. have fun getting back to settings when you choose full screen.

Keyboard
- it is great and roomy but a little far apart; and then with all that extra room not include a TAB, CTRL or ALT keys or menu buttons.
I have big fingers and I still find myself reaching kinda hard for keys; numbers too close at the top when tilted

Touchflo Favorite contacts - you choose the number for the picture when setup and yet still have to choose the number after choosing the contact.
example - Bill work(in suit) Bill home(in hammock) just more steps - not going to choose each time

Touchflo menus - choose settings all settings - programs all programs, no weather or menu customizations

Contacts
- does not show all contact info like notes have to choose more then notes.

Call History - have to choose another list to get the details of a call, business class indeed

Cannot edit a picture, kill the FM radio.

I was very disappointed with just another jazzed up WM version that had a tilt screen. I do realize that there will be many great and beneficial hacks to this phone but I cannot wait for that to happen I am just too busy to have to fix this too.

I guess I was just hoping that it would be great out of the box.

I want to apologize for the negative critique; there are just too many reasons to go back to my mogul that it just did better and easier.
(aside from battery life lol)

Also in the not too distant future there are more devices that have snapdragons & 5MP+ and even better coming down the pike, so I guess that I can wait just a little while longer.

Well we'll just end our relationship as just 2 ships passing in the night.

Goodbye babe we had fun didn't we?
