CNET ratings of the Touch Pro, unfair? Lets show support for our favorite WM device! - Page 5

On c-net I would rather see reviews from people who extensively use the TouchPro (Sprint) than from people who do not know what sprint and their phones are about. There are people on there that actually reviewed it based on their experience with the unlocked gsm version. Then we have the people that mention Sprint does not have 3g speeds LOL
Its good to show people what Sprint handlers really think of their phones

OK... I guess I'm in the minority but this whole thread just strikes me as being very insecure. Does it really matter that much to you?

I'd much rather spend my time tweaking my phone than going over to CNET and trying to argue with the editor over a bad review (and if you read it... it's NOT that bad of a review. Yeah there are a few mistakes but it's fine.)

As for affecting sales... nonsense. The main reason I'm not currently a Touch Pro user is because every place sells out so fast.

I totally agree with U brother. U r not the minority. Only few members post here because a lot of members think it's a waste of time to post in here. The thread has a lot of pages due to the same people posting and complimenting each others back.
It is totally my point that I came here for the development. What support for TP are they talking about? The whole PPCGEEKS is a support itself for WM devices. Why is a thread like this created for support? It is really funny I would say. They say that they to want help people decide to get the phone or not. Here's my answer. If U go to a ppc site, They will tell U to buy PPC. If U go to crackberry, They will tell U to buy BB. If U go to modmyiphone, They will tell U to buy an Iphone. So what help to decide are they talking about? If U Don't like what CNET say, Ignore it and move on. U and U alone know what ur phone really is. If U are not too sensitive and too insecure, U will not make a thread like this. That is not only my 2 cents, That is a fact.

Looks like people are feeling my positive review on CNET, I am rated second so far.

i think the op has a good point in getting everyone who OWNS a pro to post a positive review. that being said, i think the best way to show support is by doing what most of us did : BUY A TOUCH PRO. i was going to write a review but i already know that it's going to turn into a iphone vs pro or sprint vs att&t conflict. all i can do is smile whenever i read a negative review from an obivious biased person because none of our touch pros crashed like the iphone 3g did when it was releashed. so let whomever say what they will, let's just enjoy our much better, faster and sexier phones!

Heh, I convinced my Dad to get one (have to train him on it) and my brother! Bunch of rednecks using these fancy phones... Watch out!

LOL yeah, my dad and his wife are switching to sprint in two months from AT&T. They LOVE my phone. I will have to train them too as they are illiterate when it comes to anything electronic.

Bonnie Cha says "the Touch Pro is thick and heavy, making for a pretty tight fit in a pants pocket"

In girls pants, any phone would be a tight fit especially in Bonnie's. It fits perfectly IMO. Her cons sort of seem weak. If she experienced sluggishness 'at times' then that's legit tho. Which makes me wonder, I wonder if they tested one of the faulty ones? If I read the review before seeing the rating I probably would have assumed she gave the TouchPro a four. She does provide alot of useful info but I think it is safe to say she hasnt spent much time with the phone to topple the learning curve.

well, i went ahead and posted a review and kept the bashing to a minimal. i think i did the pro justice. the bad reviews that i read did come from iphone users but we all know what's gonna happen: when att&t gets this gsm version officially, those same people will say it's the best thing yet! so let them have thier fun, bring on wm7!
