Re: What can the TP2 do that iPhone or Droid can't?

I have gone android. I have had 3 TP2's in the last two weeks. The last one froze on me 15 times in one day. I took the battery right out and rebooted and then it still froze after loading. I bought the LG Ally after a little doubt of it freezing and didnt want to do Incredible for lack of keyboard but so far I love it.

The on screen keyboard with the ally is impressive I have missed one letter all night at normal text finger speed. Impressed with the apps as well, especially the Bruce from Family Guy soundboard...."Oooooh Noooo"

Re: What can the TP2 do that iPhone or Droid can't?

many overlay options (SPB Shell, Sense, WM Today, etc.)

much more customizable software (and can update software without buying new device)

5 row keyboard (best keyboard i've ever used)

it's more like an extension of your computer

Re: What can the TP2 do that iPhone or Droid can't?

ill agree dual boot usually shuts up any doubters..

doesnt stop them from making jokes while its taking 5minutes to boot Xandroid though...
---------------

any phone that you can power on and make a call in less than a minimum 2min boot time though beats out TP2 LOL

Re: What can the TP2 do that iPhone or Droid can't?

sorry but I caught this on the evo forum and thought while it doesnt mention the tp2
it covers android and iphone....
The Android Phone is For Pron and no its not x rated, just funny

and uhhhh... the evo does rock, i have 2 tp2 and the hero as well, and havent touched the tp2's for 4 months since getting the hero
But the tp2 has the best phone clarity, and speaker phone ive ever used, but who here actually makes calls on there phone, ohh and sorry for being a part of the reason for the network lags and crashes today

Re: What can the TP2 do that iPhone or Droid can't?

Like others said earlier... the TP2 saves me about $1000 a year.

Iphone: There's No App for that
Droid DOESN'T

Re: What can the TP2 do that iPhone or Droid can't?

Wow,

thanks for all the replies. i've only had my TP2 for a few months and now have some new ideas on how to use my phone. time to dust off the slingbox!

like many of you i have friends and family with Droids and iPhones. unfortunately, i don't have much experience with either to fully compare.

when i first got my verizon TP2, it was pretty bad (constant battery drain, slow, lock ups, etc). but after i loaded MR on it, it was much better at everything. still have a couple of small bugs like the screen not changing when going into comm manager and turning on wifi. but that's normally fixed with just going into landscape mode and back. Or the occasional battery drain after a long gaming session that need a soft reset to clear.

One of the main reasons i chose the TP2 was for it's keyboard. coming from a sidekick, i really wanted a descent keyboard to work with. still not as good as the sidekick, but way better than a motorola droid.

i'm also saving $100s of dollars a year with the TP2.

This forum has been awesome in getting my phone just the way i like it with all the tweak/mod .cabs.

but i especially like the posts that call me a troll.

it doesnt, its an android thing. the speech recognition is very accurate. once it learns your voice and diction it makes very few mistakes

There's several ways to do voice to text with TP2, TELLME software is one, Voice On the Go is another.

Re: What can the TP2 do that iPhone or Droid can't?

Well, I WAS a dedicated WinMo fanboy. I swore by it even when all my WinMo phones were locking up left and right as all the iPhone users were laughing at me. But I defended it to the end. Told them they were all fools to own a phone that was so controlled. I refused to give in and get an iPhone. Then came the Android. I waited and watched to see if it would deliver. And I waited just the perfect amount of time. I got the EVO and I will tell you one thing the TP2 did for me that this EVO doesn't... and that is.... piss me off.

This EVO stomps everything. It just works... period! No locks, no issues with PUSH... no problems period. And it BLOWS the iPhones out of the water!
