I know most the reviews are positive but im just curious if anyone is thinking about returing thier phone and why. There was alot of anticipation for this phone, is anyone disappointed?

I like mine but im still on the fence. I find slide out keybopards annoying at time and the screen size makes the onscreen keyboard not very useful to me. Also the buttons are small of the keypad and i find it difficult to type on at times. Already frozeonce dring Windows live setup. Battery life is not great and call volume is low, although i have not tried the audio hack yet. Compared to my Treo 800w it has alot of improvements but also the Treo did may things good right out the box. I'm going to wait a few more days to make up my mind.

Not really, many of use have had a couple days playing with it now and sometimes it doesnt take long to figure out if your keeping it or not.

I'm switching back to my treo 800w. The HTC Touch Pro is certainly a very fun phone but the usability of it doesn't compare to the treo 800w as you briefly mentioned.

Yes I agree, TP has alot of nice features but the Treo is a more practical everyday phone

I don't understand, what makes the Touch Pro not as practical?

For me, its easier and faster to do simple tasks like texts, email etc from the Treo opposed to the Pro. Like i said thats just me though. Im not bashing the Pro in anyway, i think it has alot of positives and i went thru alot to finally get this phone but im just bit disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high

I am happy with my Touch Pro and I will be keeping it. I am very happy with it so far. I guess I may be a bit different than most here as this is my first smart phone. I am upgrading from a Katana (original one) so this is quite an upgrade. I can see how someone who previously used a Mogul might be a bit disapointed having to pay about $300 for a modest upgrade. In that situation I would not have upgraded but probably waited for the next big thing (Touch HD or some sort of Android phone).
