I don't believe it is in stock. My phone started messing up and I went to a verizon store to get it fixed/replaced with no cigar. The rep actually told me they would probably replace it with an Imaggio in stead...I guess my phone heard him cuz when I hard reset it it started working properly again

A few things first, before I get into my post. For those of you who remember my "TP2 vs. MY TP" thread, yes, I'm thinking about getting the Touch Pro 2.

The reason why I'm planning to upgrade is because I still have an Alltel phone and an Alltel plan, and Verizon is offering an incentive for us to get Verizon phones (it's pretty much a HUGE discount). Anyway, I plan to get the Touch Pro 2 from this discount.

So I have two questions for all TP2 users. Now that you have been using your phones for a while now, I want you to tell me how it works.

1. Do you still like it?

2. Does it get hot at all?

3. How is the battery life?

4. Here's the main thing. For those of you who play games on the phone, are you able to control the games using the arrow keys on the hardware keyboard?

Thanks for all of your responses!

1. Yes
2. Warm but not hot. And only when it's on the charger, not while on the battery.
3. Outstanding with tweaks i.e. data disconnect after 1 minute
4. I only use the touch screen for games but there are a lot that use the g sensor instead of the arrows.

Yeah a rep told me the same thing about "maybe" replacing it with the imagio.

Would be a stupid move. Just based on the number of reviews on their own page there is a higher demand for the TP2.

Anyone heard any info on when/if they'll get them back in stock?

I am in the same boat, I went seeking replacement for my TP, they were out of stock on them, the tech said they would replace it with a TP2 for no charge. However when they went to fill the order for that one it came up out of stock as well. I am waiting to hear tomorrow about what they are going to do. I think I am going to ask if they can just upgrade me to a droid and be done with it.

I called verizon today about getting a replacement of my TP2 and was quickly transfered to the supevisor. He informed me that they have no idea when they would be getting more in and that I can choose any phone of my choice as a replacement. This sucks because I really love the TP2. Maybe I will change to the Droid.

If you are a current customer, you might have luck. I tried to get it via the web site and it still shows out of stock. When I called the rep said it was low on stock but could be ordered. Only drawback is that you don't get the rebate up front like online. You still pay the same, but you have to mail in the rebate. The rep gave me 10% off my bill for 6 monhs without me asking due to the mail in rebate issue.

I love mine. Best HTC product I have owned.

Does not get as warm as the xv6800.

Battery lasts one day with data connection always on and checking emails/pushing a couple Opera pages.

Don't know but I do intend to start looking for more games to play on it.

Some peope checked every day and they had some back in stock for like an hour before they sold out again. :P My friend finally got his, this was about a week ago.

1. Do you still like it?
Yes. Best device I've ever owned. Blows the TP1 out of the water.

2. Does it get hot at all?
Never for me.

3. How is the battery life?
I take it off the charger at about 8 am and at 1am I'm still at about 50%. Ridiculously good battery life compared to the TP1

4. Here's the main thing. For those of you who play games on the phone, are you able to control the games using the arrow keys on the hardware keyboard?
N/A for me too.

Best smart phone device I've ever used. Period.

Doesn't get hot at all for me.

Great battery life. It has far exceeded my expectations. Been away from a charger since 7 AM this morning and in a crappy signal area and I'm still sitting at 73% battery at 12:30 PM with full push e-mail/data.

Can't answer the games question, sorry.
