Htc Touch Pro 2

[ppclover2]

exactly...thats what im saying...why is the TP2 even being released?!

and winmo can lag...especially on the mogul w/ limited RAM...even stock ROMs

I've given up on custom roms myself and stick to stock...they are more stable...but the whole OS can operate slower than other phones with different OS

i never had winmo 5 so i cant tell ya what was different btwn that and 6.0....winmo 6 to 6.1 brought GPS and MMS and a better radio.. 6.1 to 6.5 brings today to titanium, TF3D2(which is like a stock tab and just smoother intergration really),new start menu(the honey comb), MS' stupid conerence call software... theres most of it..

i wont be jumping to a TP2 for sure, i may take an offical 6.5 rom though and just stay on the pro... i take way too many pics of my daughters with my phone to ditch the flash, thats what honestly is not even making me take a look at it..

Again I ask, have you tried a custom rom?....???.......

Apparently since you avoided the other question, or just missed it, but for the sake of this very long run on sentence, I'm going to say you avoided it, and by that, we can infer that you have not tried a custom rom.
Since you haven't tried a custom one, there lies your reasoning for liking stock.

then go get an iphone already.
we all know that's where you're heading.
and older phones like the mogul are like trying to run vista
on a windows 95 computer that has like the 1gig of harddrive space.
It's not pretty.

The Touch Pro2 is a good device now... But if it really will be launching in the fall in the States... It won't be able to compete against Omnia Pro and other devices

I will never understand why people get defensive when others speak the truth. WinMo is slower than any other modern Mobile OS. Playing with the Palm Pre, multiple Blackberrys and even the instinct tells me this. I can get the bb storm to slow down but not as slow as how my phone runs normally.

The filings at the FTC indicate the Touch Pro2 for Sprint (I'm inferring that from the frequencies in the test reports) will be released 10/31/09. Look for NM8RHOD in the OET database. There are multiple models, but the one operating on CDMA freqs that also has GSM capability has a short-term confidentiality end date of 10/31/09. This was spot on for the TP1 and is also consistent with the leaked roadmap that had the TP2 being released 3Q 09.

BTW, GSM capability is a definite plus if you ever travel to Europe. (US GSM freqs are firmware disabled on the TP2).

exactly...just because i speak the truth doesnt mean im willing to spend 200 for cancelation and then get another phone with another company just to dish out more money

all im simply doing is wondering why they wont fix their known problems and continue to let them follow from device to device...and im asking...wuts the point of the TP2

[ppclover2]

dont get me wrong...i love Winmo when it works smoothly, the capabilities are endless compared to other devices. But i've tried the custom ROMs...eventually they all begin to lag...and now there's a million custom ROMs...its hard to even tell which one to go with

back in the mogul days you only had maybe 10 at most to choose from and you knew the pros and cons of the ROMs

I've come to the point where I just want my PHONE to work how it's suppose to out of the box. On the same, token, the ability to tweak things is the very reason why I love WinMo. But it's a little ridiculous when you have to tweak the phone just to get it working normally or tweak TF3D to run smoothly.

Personally, I think flashing custom ROM's can be a little daunting for newbies. Sure there are walkthroughs and what not but why should you need to do that to maximize the phone? And like ppc was saying, there are sooooooooooooo many different ROM's, how does one know what's in the ROM? Personally, I like stock because the standard software and functions work and I can pick and choose which ones to remove/tweak. It isn't worth it to me to flash a new ROM and have simple things like Sprint TV or Picmail not work, but that's just me.

I guess I could always switch to a crackberry but I like being able to do simple things like change icons/themes.


And on that note, I don't really see the point of the TP2. Sure it has a "different/better" (subjective) keyboard and a bigger screen but the same hardware under the hood. Doesn't seem like a worthy upgrade when TF3D is already laggy on the TP and it'll probably be even laggier with a bigger screen since it has more pixels to draw..

I agree, Im gonna stick with my TP1 until the end of next year when I can renew..maybe a better phone will be out then, who knows...

In my mind, the screen is worth it. I work at a high tech, high security company with every internet site blocked. I use my phone constantly to surf the web during the day. Also to watch Slingbox... (I sound like a horrible employee) But, it's worth it to me.
