Just got my new (replacement) TP via FedEx - TRANSFER QUESTION :)

HTC Touch-Pro · #1 (**permalink**) 11-24-2009, 11:42 PM

Hey everyone,

I just got my Verizon HTC TP to replace my Alltel TP, and I have a question about transferring programs - its a little more detailed than just switching contacts etc, which I believe (?) I can do using the "MyPhone" function from Microsoft Marketplace I just installed.

My question is, is there anyway to transfer over all my programs I have installed onto the new factory-fresh Verizon TP from my Alltel version? I have installed a lot of great programs over the months, and although I could download and install them all again one by one onto the Verizon, I was just curious.

THANKS!

Ok...first of all see if you can get it replaced with an ALLTEL TP. THE VZW and ALLTEL TP's are different, hardware wise. I would have sent it back. Im waitin on a replacement and I hope its an ALLTEL TP.

DOH!!!!

This is the worst news I've gotten all day by far!!!

HERE'S THE SCOOP: I was one of the many who was forced into Verizon, back in October, due to the massive merger of the companies; when my original Alltel TP became defective, BUT was still under the 1yr Manufacturer's Warranty, I wrote Verizon an email and they shipped me a new Verizon model TP.

Is there anything I can do!? I HAD NO IDEA Verizon was inferior to Alltel considering the hardware... LESS RAM!?!?!? What the......

How can I get upgraded to the TP2?? That would be something, obviously, I'd be ecstatic about and very interested in, if its at no cost?

I am already eligible for the 'upgrade' option if that's what you're talking about, every 2 years, since this Alltel TP I have (I still have it now, because I have yet to send it back in the pre-paid FedEx box the new Verizon TP came in today) I bought at retail price. Thanks...

depending on if you saved your cab files pim backup could do it,aside from that, why would you go from a alltel tp which has 288mb of ram, to the verizon one, which only has 192mb of ram? Not making fun, just curious why,

AHHH MAN, as I posted above (regarding your post and Killa's) I was totally unaware of any of this! When I got my instant email notification that popped up on my phone, and I read what you both had said, I came over and turned my laptop on to make a post I was so upset.

Why on Earth would a company carry a 'specially' made (read: crippled) version of such an awesome phone!? Did they castrate their TP2 as well?

ANYWAY - I AM NOW ANGRY AND FEEL I HAVE A RIGHT TO HAVE THE PHONE I PURCHASED, REPLACED ACCURATELY, SINCE I BOUGHT IT AS AN ALLTEL CUSTOMER BEFORE THE MERGER WAS ANNOUNCED!!!
