Need Help concering Verizon TP2 - Page 3

1. I like it alot although maybe thinking about switching to Android since I get bored easily and I do not need complex business functionalities unlike others.
2. Only time I ever noticed it getting a bit hot was when I was running igo8 for a extended time.
3.This one is tricky, sometimes it lasts all day with only 20% used some times dies after 6 hours.
4. Games can be tricky to play I have hard time getting use to the small buttons AND
non-multitouch screen makes it difficult to play with on-screen buttons.
EXTRA: as far as plans go, it is the exact same price as ATT plan, for me I pay about $55 for voice and data (with school discount) with google voice I do not need to many minutes.

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?

1) Yes. I had the TP1 and just got it by stealing someone's upgrade on our business account. I wasn't expecting much since I knew the internals were practically identical, but I was nicely suprised. MUCH more responsive, even stock firmware, I am liking the large screen more than I expected, and I knew I would like the keyboard better, and I was NOT disappointed.

2) Yeah, it gets warm with use just like the TP1...kinda toasty in some cases (GPS, 3d gaming, long calls most notably.) I would have to say it's about the same as the TP1, maybe a teensy bit better.

3) I'm a light talker, but it seems about the same as the TP1. I can go 2 days on it if needed. Many others find it dies partway through the second day, or end of the first for heavy users.

4) Yes...they register as a normal up, down, etc. I find it a bit awkward with them on the right though, but I have ripped up some NES games with it pretty good.

It's good to get a report on how the TP2 handles games! Thanks.

I guess I'll get it then. I was gonna get either the Pro2 or the Imagio, but I don't know if I could've handled not having a hardware keyboard.

I still haven't talked to Verizon yet. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Why not stick with the Alltel plan? I bought my TP2 on the release day through Verizon telesales and I'm still on an Alltel plan. Everything works fine. Plus I have the added advantage of roaming on Sprint EVDO after installing older Alltel PRLs.

Well, I didn't want to just buy it because, honestly, I don't feel like it's worth $299, or even $199. It has a bigger screen, supposedly better keyboard, an audio jack and a good speaker phone (those last two I could really do well without), and I just don't see those features as being worth that much of my money. But if I can get it for say... $80-$100, then that's a different story...

By the way, we found a Verizon plan that's close enough to the one that we had before. In the end, we'll lose about 1500 minutes off of our plan (it's a 4000 minute plan; before we had 5500), but anyway, we don't even use more than 2500 minutes a month, so it works out in the end. So it looks like I'll be getting my TP2 soon, if they don't try to tell me that it's not in stock that is.

I called Verizon today, and they told me that the Touch Pro 2 was out of stock. When are they gonna get back in stock??

the only thing different I have from the majority of the responses is Battery Life Sucks.

I assume it depends on where you are coming from I had a Samsung I760 and the battery would last about 3 days on average. So to me 1 day of battery life is terrible.

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.
