Can you keep the screen from tilting?

[Viper786]

tilt feature is one of the main reasons i got this phone. I usually save my teachers' powerpoint presentations on my phone and go through them while studying. it's nice to have the phone sitting on the desk with the screen tilted up kind of like a laptop. this feature is by no means "retarded". there is no way to permanently lock the screen from tilting up and if you dont like it, I'd recommend a different phone.

Well if you go to Verizon you can get the Imagio (basically the TP2 without the keyboard) or wait a week and get the Omnia 2 (3.7" OMLED screen!!! 800mhz processor!!!). But if you want to stay on Sprint... the TP2 is the best you're going to get. Unless... you go to Android/WebOS...

But honestly you need to go check out the TP2 in person. Find someone that has one (there are 4 different U.S. variants!). Or go to an AT&T or T-Mobile store (dunno if Verizon or Sprint have them physically in stores yet). Honestly the phone only tilts when I want it to. I personally rarely use the tilting portion, really only to place it on my desk to watch videos. The TP2 is really the best winmo phone on Sprint right now, you shouldn't rule it out until you personally check it out.

I almost never use the tilt feature myself, it doesn't tilt far enough to be a really useful feature IMHO.

That being said, that certainly isn't a reason NOT to buy the TP2. If you don't want to tilt it, just don't use the feature.....

Seriously, the tilt is really not a problem at all. Unlike the AT&T Tilt, it has a hard ratcheting click when you tilt the screen up. If you use one hand to slide the screen open or closed, you <b>will not</b> in any way shape or form 'accidentally' tilt the screen up. And even if you did, it will easily go back flat before you can slide it closed again. Seriously, man, complaining about the tilt on this thing is like complaining about the fact that you have to hold the phone up to your ear to hear people talk unless it's in speakerphone mode.

I am planning to, just been busy that last few days. I'm not ruling it out until I hand it in my hands and test in myself, but just in case it doesn't work out, I wanted to know what other options there are. Sounds like for Sprint, not much except wwaiting, which is an OK option. The HD2 looks nice, if that's somehting coming soon I would wait for that.

And thanks so much for the help so far!

Got my hands on a T Mobile Touch 2. The screen did't take that much pressure to tilt, however, compared to my mogul or the old Tilt, the body is wider, so when held one handed, my index finger doesn't rest on the back of the screen, it rests on the back of the phone itself, so there's no pressure on the screen to tilt it. which is good news.

I noticed that Touchflo was pretty laggy in landscape mode, does the t mobile version have lower specs or something?

i just came from the mogul. i rarely tilt the screen, as it is what i am used to. the hardest thing for me is the slide opens the oppisite direction..

as to the touch flo in landscape. i just messed with it.. no lag..

do you know how much memory was being used on the phone you played with..
