Re: Anyone returning thier Touch Pros?

No way in hell I'd return my TPro...I liked the Mogul, but going back to it would seem like a serious downgrade.

Just imagine how awesome it will be once the real customizations and VGA apps come out..

Personally, I'd try Sprint out again if I were you John... you can get it for free
sprints service has gotten a lot better. I think they are starting to learn you have to make your customers happy and they will keep your service. Who would have thought. Anyway not to hijack the thread.

Re: Anyone returning thier Touch Pros?

Today was my first full day of using it (got it last night), and I am definitely going to return it and get my Diamond back.

My main problems with the Pro are:
Crappy speaker (terrible quality, sounds metallic and is hard to hear)
Doesn't feel good in the hand - it is too big and just doesn't feel solid. When you hold it you can feel the sliding keyboard kind of move and it just feels like a toy. The build quality overall just seems poor, with one button feeling loose (and many of the forums reporting cosmetic issues)
The sliding keyboard is OKAY, but doesn't compare to samsung/other sliders. It isn't smooth.

I guess this phone just isn't for me, never had the mogul or a qwerty phone, so idk.

Re: Anyone returning thier Touch Pros?

Anyone who is returning theirs wanna trade for a brand new 800w? I was going to craigslist it to get the TP but I can't wait anymore. Local trade only though. I'm in the bay area.

And the panel covering the lower 1/3 of the phone was threatening to peel off after I got it out of the box. Really like the phone, but I must have gotten the dud as far as build quality goes.
Diamond Tweak fixes the d-pad thing. That was annoying for me as well, but the Diamond Tweak has to be the best cab I've been recommended so far (by p-slim).

As for the speaker thing, the Diamond Tweak cab also has something for increased volume and a couple other things regarding volume. Anyhow, might as well try the cab before you return it:

Waiting for release from Sprint is going to get a better phone or kinks worked out. Sprint just delayed it to get inventory upso ther won't be heavy backorder issues. That is what i reaf and was told from Sprint. I believe everything is the same on the Best Buy version and from Sprint.
