Home button doesn't seem raised either.

Could you verify your PRL # and if your Rom ver. ends in .4?

Hopefully they'll be out by Q1 of next year

Me hopes so. =/

Sooo... uh, I may sound like a broken record, but if you think your screen is just as sensitive around the sides of the screen as it is in the center, can you please open the Notes application and, using your thumb, push down in the center until the dot appears, and drag it to the left side, using the same pressure? Tell us how much of a gap you have between where the line stops, and where the side of the screen is...

If this thing is as good as you have made it sound, then a lot of people will be very happy--assuming they can get their hands on one.

Also, if you could try making a 2 hour phone call, while on the charger, starting with 100% battery, and see if it drains at all... That's our biggest problem--the overheating...

I didn't think that really mattered--did it?

Not a big deal to me, but there is some guy here who is insisting that PRL 60750 doesn't exist just because he works for Sprint and they didn't tell him about it, he says "it's a typo". I'm just trying to clear things up.

I posted this in a couple of other threads but I'll recap too because I just got a 12/9 TP as well.

+The back case that comes with it now fits very tight (meaning, it makes it difficult to ut on), but does not squeak any more! It's a change in the case, not the phone.
+Keyboard slide feels better, keys feel more consistent, doesn't scrape on the keyoard
+Bottom keys aren't coming up

I come with good news, the screen is just as sensitive!

Hi,

so i currently have a TP with a 11/21 build date which i purchased on the 14th of december from bestbuy. now i dont think i have many problems with mine. i made a 40 minute phone call while plugged in and it didnt get any warmer then my treo 755p would i get the same results in the note application as the above poster... my only concerns are that the home key is a bit raised and the back case is not the tightest fit (moves a little when holding the phone tightly). are these issues fixed in the newer build dates? should i bother exchanging it at bestbuy for a different one and hope for a newer build date? should i wait till like the 25th day before i exchange in hope for a newer build date?

thanks.

edit: o and my keyboard wiggles a tiny bit...

Ah, this picture has confirmed for me that no Touch Pro will ever have even touch response... The Vogue, or original Touch, goes all the way to the edge of the screen without heavy pressure, using your thumb.

The main reason I care is for the on-screen keyboard, and the scrollbars... If you don't use either of those much, then it might not matter...

The scroll bars are still hard to hit, but I've noticed it's hard to hit any of them... if they were larger, it would be easier. I've just gotten used to using a finger nail for that sort of stuff.

This one definitely goes closer to the edge with light pressure than the other one did... it's more responsive, generally nicer to use.

If you manage to make contact with the scroll bars, your finger can slide off of them a tad, but you'll still scroll.
