Touch Pro2 a stopgap?

I upgraded from a vz vogue to the tp2. It really depends on what your coming from. The only other phone that makes me jealous is the htc leo. Just not patient to wait and I will not switch from verizon due to my corporate discounts.

So in my case I just forked out 2 grand to get 4 Touch Pro 2's on a family plan. Now that I got them, I found out that Bing doesn't work correctly (I have been using a GSM version on AT&T and Bing worked great), and also the conference calling feature has been removed (I guess it doesn't work with CDMA). And there is really no way I could have known about this before hand, because no Sprint stores have the Touch Pro 2 in stock. The only way to see one is to actually order it.

So I could technically leave Sprint and get the T-Mobile version. But I'd have to fork out another 2 grand, while giving Sprint an interest free loan for 45 days.

I guess that is more a carrier issue than a device issue though. However, it does explain why returning it might not be as simple as you say.

this is true, understood
