I totally disagree. The GPS on mine is just fine - not too different from my DeLorme PN-40. Slow? Not at all. Crashes? None in 2 months - none. Telephone hangs up fine - not a problem with a good signal. Buttons and screens fine. Blue Tooth (2 words) stays on 24/7.

And I have the stock Sprint ROM. Excellent device used for business purposes.

I have to say that the Verizon version is COMPLETELY AWFUL while The Sprint version is just a step up at TERRIBLE. I have been using pocket PCs for many years and I have to say the Touch Pro is by far worse. Camera? not the best, but not the worst at all. Battery? hey, it does lots of things.

I have used multiple ROMs that do help but don't resolve the problems.

-GPS is AWFUL or unusable.
-It is SLOW (half the speed of the XV6800 on a good day)
-Crashes constantly
-Telephone half the time wont hang up
-The physical buttons only work half the time
-The screen is slow and unresponsive
-Bluetooth disconnects, or "goes corrupt" and I have to hard reset.
-Camera is awful. SLOW, Difficult and most pics are blurry.
-Should I even bother mentioning battery life?
-The physical hardware is fragile at best

LOL... OK, I am done with my rant... Now I feel better.

So does anyone have any suggestions as to an alternative phone? I have read the specs on the Omnia but it sounds like aside from a better camera, I would loose many features. Aside from that, I am ready to go back to my Mogul.

I thought Bluetooth was one word?

It is.

Bluetooth... as in "the king of denmark" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth

Blue Tooth is a dental condition brought on from sucking on too many blue pens.

The pro is the best windows mobile HTC CDMA device out right now buddy! try DREAM ROM 1.2 and you won't be disappointed.. if that doesn't work then yeah you might need a replacement.

Have you considered a jitterbug?

**schettj** · #29 (**permalink**) 02-12-2009, 10:09 PM

LOL jitterbug. Can I put iPhone apps on that?

Edit... just realized I am a whopping 13 years shy of their target demographic. Crap. Guess I'll be getting 'bugged soon!

Is no one else bother by this: dispise is not a word. I think he meant despise.
