Re: How many switced from TP2 for EVO?
 
I left the line about the TP2 in my sig because it still holds true. I started with a Treo600... worked my way up to the EVO. I got my EVO from Sprint because I had to replace my TP2 under insurance, got a recon unit that wouldn't boot, another that wouldn't boot, one that rebooted on its own all the time and one that you had to take out the battery.. to put it on the charger because it would lock up... Before that I loved it.

The EVO is sweet though. Getting used to the lack of keyboard, with OMJ's ROM it rocks. I love android, I own a Moment as well. Just sold my moment, and god does it feel tiny compared to this!

I just looked at my desk while typing this, and there is a still working original Treo650... I think I might activate it and play.

I have not switched and will not.Unless you pay the same as you did with the tp2 it is not worth it.

Sure if you do not have to change plans but it would cost me 40$ a month more and it is a phone.It is not my computer it is a phone.

So if you do NOT have to pay more fine but unless i was able to keep my plan forget it.

Actually it is a computer and a phone. I rarely take my laptop out of the house these days because I use my phone for every day Internet use that doesn't require a full size screen like using Excel or something. It is actually better than a computer when you are riding on the train...just pull it out of the pocket and go....

After the Mogul, I was just tired of "customizing" my WinMo phones. Played some with the Vogue. It was interesting concept after the 6700/6800. The TP2 was/is a great device. I never had to reset, no crashes, no problems, but I also never switched outta the stock rom or installed any other apps. I was the hold me over from the TP (poor phone) until something better than the Moment/Hero came out.

I throughly enjoy my EVO without regrets. I still have my TP2 for international use.

I made the switch and will never look back specs wise. Initially I switched for the Evo over TP2, but not for Android over Winmo. I think Winmo would have been great on the Evo, but Im extremely happy with Android.

If there was a Winmo port, I would probably try it lol...Winmo did everthing I needed: ms office, navigation, internet, tethering, music/video playback. Android does everything as well and being finger friendly is a huge plus.

The HD2 would have been a good option for ya then..

I made the switch. Dumping SERO (Never thought I would say that) and don't regret anything about it. This phone is amazing. I picked up my TP2 the other day and I was thinking to myself how tiny the screen was, lol. Coming from Palm Treos for 5 years and WinMo for about 1 year, it feels strange to have a phone you don't have to pull the battery out to reset all the time. It is also nice to be on a platform that developers are targeting for their new apps.

Re: How many switced from TP2 for EVO?
 
I switched and I love it. I tried different roms on tp2 and at some point they all started to slow the phone down. WM is nice but outdated. I like Evo a lot and i dont have to wait to load camera :) which i really hated with my tp2. I would never switch to iphone couse i think it is for retards. Android seems like has a good future. MS gave up on wm and their updates are no updates. Evo feel nice and looks nice. I also kept my TP2 only couse it is a world phone which I need when i travel to Europe. So the bottom line is Im happy with my new Evo.

I used to be in love with the screen on my iPod touch ... that is, until Evo. Now, I have lost so much lover for my poor Apple. The screen is almost a joke now compared to the Evo. I can hardly stand to look at it.

Well I recently installed iOS4 on my 3GS and its pretty damn nice. Huge improvement. I pre-ordered the iphone4, if its not as great as I expect it to be, I'll return it for the Evo. I had the Nexus One previously with Android 2.1. It was better than iphone iOS3, but the new iOS4 in my opinion beats Android now, it works real well and much more polished than Android for the time being.

Just made the switch today. I appreciate all the work the chefs did to help keep a fragmented system (WM) going.

Re: How many switced from TP2 for EVO?
 
I switched, well I still actually have my tp2 on sero and my evo on my eprp on the same account. If you get a family plan you can actually get the evo down to sero prices if you have enough people.

All in all I love the new phone. Looks a lot better and much more powerful. I wouldn't ever downgrade back to the TP2 again =)

yep switched...was worth it, kinda missed the keyboard but I'm over now... voice text is the sh!t and the urine <----thats a good thing lol

Re: How many switced from TP2 for EVO?
 
I switched and though it would have been nice to keep my $30 a month SERO,the only thing I've really missed is S2w's "Dark" themes. I really need a Dark Glass clock,widgets etc. I'm waiting to see 2.2 before I root because I actually like Sense on the Evo.

Re: How many switced from TP2 for EVO?
 
I switched From the TP1, to the TP2 and now the EVO and the EVO is alot smoother. The web browsing on the EVO is faster than the TP2 even on 3g.

I dont get the hangups and screen freezez that i use to get on the TP2. The EVO can have several applications running at the same time and I dont notice a decrease in speed, whereas on the TP2, i was constantly using the HTC cleaner to free up memory. Camera is better on the EVO, and apps seem to be better.

Im sure alot of this is due to the faster processor on the EVO, but I like the EVO better.

Re: How many switced from TP2 for EVO?
 
I also migrated from TP2. Luv the Evo and its just so much easier to use thanks to its speed. I do not miss the crashes and lagginess of the TP2. I am suffering flashing withdrawl though since I used to throw new roms on it often(currently its on Mighty Rom).
There has been no need for me to even think about modifying my Evo yet.
I would love to see a Touch Pro 3 with windows 7 provided its well executed and fast. Hey I need something to play with on my other line....

I personally switched over to the iphone because I got burned out of the constant rom changes and almost daily resets with WM phones.


8 months with TP2 (mightyrom) vs. 10 days with EVO.

Evo makes the TP2 (and Android makes WM 6.x) its bitch.

I am still trying. I am on a special plan grandfathered from an employee plan for $30 +7 for the contract. I Ok'd the $10.00 = 47.00. They want $100.00 +- to connect the EVO.. Not Me For that $$ they will need to have a support person ( Like there is such a thing) follow me around..:protest:

I switched, dumped sero. I love my evo but I do miss my TP2 keyboard. I am getting better at the evo keyboard though.

Re: How many switced from TP2 for EVO?
 
I switched from SERO, and after the Evo (Android), I cant believe I wasted my time with WinMo. I havent been so happy with a Mobile OS since PalmOS in its hayday.

I did, and i like the dual mics and speaker on the tp2 better. but overall the evo rocks. I do miss WM sometimes.

I switch from TP2 to EVO and loving it. I sold the TP2 on ebay for $172 + $5 shipping. Use that money to buy the evo on june 4th at 8:30 am in Best Buy Charlotte, North Carolina at NorthLake Mall.

Re: How many switced from TP2 for EVO?
 
I'm still enjoying my tp since i put it back on my main line for 30! I didn't 'forget' how bad ass it is, but I'm am happy to be back on it (with siley rom of course!)

But the hero/evo definitely have their advantages!

I will soon be moving to the HTC Evo 4G on August 1st from my Touch Pro 2. Windows Mobile has it's own set of users...Business users...it's easy for them to transfer calander and other stuff via their home PC to the Phone and vis versa. I like the interface and the ability to be able to just plug in the USB and transfer stuff from my computer...but that's as far as this phone goes for me. It lacks any Social Networking apps worth while...WM is clunky and unresponsive. The overall feel to me is that it's distant. I like to be able to do certian things with my phone...access this, acess that.

Android on the other hand has a lot to offer. Speech to Text, Search by speech...multiple desktop screens, Tons of apps etc. When I first saw Android I was very impressed. It gave me a sense of "Hey, I can do things with this OS". I don't know how to explain it really..it's one of those things you just feel. Android also has a decent/good looking GUI layout. Apps and display Icons are clean and pleasant to look at.

Resetting shouldn't really be a issue with Android..maybe once and awhile..but nothing like WM phones. I also don't believe I will have any regrets moving to the Evo. I'm a tall guy with big hands and I've always been looking for a phone that fits them...with 4.3inchs of screen and the keyboard actually being decently sized...I don't forsee any issue or regrets.

I never messed with Custom ROMs or cab files to help WM...I left it plain factory..
