Re: Is TP2 that MUCH better than TP?

i think the TP2 is much better too. I used to think it wasn't worth it, but when I actually bought it (I did so because I had to switch to a Verizon plan, and therefore get a new phone), I was very VERY satisfied.

I don't have any complaints. I've flashed Mighty's rom on here, and I haven't been compelled to change anything else. Battery life is great for me, and I'm a heavy user (it's not uncommon for me to play a game while talking on the phone with my bluetooth headset for HOURS).

It may not look like much of an upgrade on paper, but I think you'll like what you get .

Re: Is TP2 that MUCH better than TP?

Another big vote for yes. This phone is much more solid that the Touch Pro and the larger, higher res screen is a dream to use. If the screen was capacitive it would be completely perfect, but as it is it's close enough.

Re: Is TP2 that MUCH better than TP?

SO much better. I liked the original TP a lot but it did have so flaws. It seems like HTC was able to fix most of those issues. Most notably:
-MUCH better speaker
-smoother & faster
-bigger screen
-feels like a better quality (physically) phone

Re: Is TP2 that MUCH better than TP?

to answer your question, yes, but would you really expect many of us here to say no in the touch pro 2 forum?

Re: Is TP2 that MUCH better than TP?

It's the most wonderful device since the TP and it'll be great until a CDMA, old-school SERO compatible HTC HD2 is available.

Re: Is TP2 that MUCH better than TP?

Never really liked my TP1 that much. Love my TP2. Keyboard is in a league of its own. I really liked the tilt at first, but have to be honest and say I don't use it all the time now. Much prefer the slightly raised volume and power buttons. Larger screen is definitely nice too. Unit doesn't look square like the TP1 did. Lack of a d-pad took some getting used to...but I don't miss it any more.

Re: Is TP2 that MUCH better than TP?

YES, I cant believe what a difference the phone is. Honestly when I heard the specs were the same I didnt even look at the TP but its leaps and bound better. The hardware just is amazing, they tweaked everything.


-Bigger screen
-Screen is almost got capacitive type sensitivity
-Battery is much much better
-overall build quality is better
-call quality is better
-speaker phone is best out there
-best hardware keyboard
-Sprints has a headset jack
-feels better, its about the same thickness but its wider, does not feel so brick shaped.

Agreed, my TP2 is much better than my TP1 (especially since I had a Verizon TP0..

I'd also like to add the battery life is much better. If I don't charge the phone overnight, I don't wake up to a dead phone - it barely uses any power. This screen is awesome, speakerphone is awesome, phone feels solid - good quality, qwerty keyboard is awesome, tilt is very nice to have.

I've gotten past the lack of d-pad, but I do miss the flashlight. Softwarewise, many minor revisions - especially on a new rom. Glad I upgraded!
