TP2 - Droid? Thoughts?

kashabrown · #1 (**permalink**) 10-21-2009, 03:02 PM

Anyone here who owns a TouchPro2 intrigued by the new "droid"? The specs are quite impressive, however, I don't know anything about android besides the fact that it is tied up with Google. I still have a few days to return my phone and would love an expert's opinion about this upcoming device.

Thoughts please?

yes, im very interested in it. Im concerned about the keyboard though and highly doubt it'll be as nice as the TP2's. I might use the upgrade on my other line to get it when it comes out and switch off in between devices

That is the same thing I will be doing.

from a purely aesthetic point of view, the thing looks like it came straight out of the early 80's....

I dont care if that thing has a super computer in, that thing is hideous!! My TP2 is way sexier and would never trade it for the ugly thing.

That keyboard blows, I would rather have my 4-row keyboard, other then that I like the phone.

Hideous Maximus. Although it probably blows away the TP2's performance overall.

Is that a thumb print reader on the thing or some kind of mouse?

My guess would be, that is a 5 way navigation that you can click with. Only because I don't see any arrows on the keyboard.

i have the htc hero and the PRO 2. the Android OS is really super cool and has a lot of little nice features (widgets) in it that make the OS a serious contender. if you like to mod/customize/hack ROMs then you may want to wait a while since its not easy to modify it as it is with the ppc devices, but in time that will change. the OS is still the new kid on the block and i am sure this device (droid) will have weird bugs in it so also keep that in mind.
