Sorry i know is off topic but how much did you get for the TP2.

Dont forget to complain to the FCC about the "Premium Data"

I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but back up often. If you plan on rooting, etc. Pick up a copy of Titanium Backup and pay for the paid version. The scheduling client doesn't always work, or at least i can't get it to work. Even when I have the application set to back up daily, it doesn't do it.

Sprite has a backup software for Android. it's what you'd expect from Sprite, it has bugs and they don't have very good support, but it's one of the viable solutions.

For whatever reason, the backup software for Android is just not very good.

I came straight from a tp1 to the evo. I was hating the jump from wm to android after doing so, and was starting to regret it. But in landscape mode the typing is geting better, i got spell corect on, but it doesn't. But have been able to adjust to the screen and how it responds to the touch and typing has gotten faster. Just getting used to the fact of touch over pressure from my tp was hard to get used to. Sometimes when i fumble the phone around it will respond to anywhere i even barley graze it. Still working on that one.

As a reply to the comment text above. I feel ya on many levels, but some skip me. Everyone and their grandma in phsyc ward knew that android was google device specific. Why buy a google device if you have no intentions of syncing it with your google account when it pretty much requires a synce to work correctly? Using activesync on wmxp works great, syncs your outlook info geat, wmdc on w7 doesn't when you have to BUY outlook. I jumped ship on wm couse as many tp1s i went thru, the keep giving me an other one. 6.5 never made it to tp as an official and i really hate the way wm7 was starting to look. Add the fact that 7 was to be launched almost a year ago and ms dropped the ball on that, and now if we are lucky our new wm7/aka the xbox360/zune phone might be launhed this year if any device maker decides to pick it up the way android is moving forward. I really hate the fact the ms f'ed up and pushed the UD an other year cuz what they had going then would kill android, now they are going with a mp3/gaming device trying to compete with apple. If wm can make a 7 that blows away 5, 6, 6.1, 6.5 or even the crappy 6.5.x system without turning it into a mp3 player ( ipod touch ) slash gaming unit with copy and paste feature and install to sd/rin from sd that looks more like windows then i will jump ship from android. But i got so feed up with stock 6.1, hated 6.5.x and was so not looking forward to 7 that i jumped. Think about it, so did the manufactures. It's either web os, android, or iphone on all new devices. MS had given a good start, but with age comes replacement. Keep up, move forward, or move out of the way.

And I really want to go back to ms..... really cuz you are RIGHT wm is way more responsive, customizable, and powerfull. I do miss it.

I am extremely on the fence and basically have 10 days to decide if I am going to stick with TP2 or get the EVO. This thread makes me want to switch though. Before now I have been wanting to stick with the TP2 and just wait out til a working dev made android OS was finished for the TP2, but now that I finally got my micro SD card and so far the quality has been subpar then what I expected... I am back to really doubting wanting to keep the phone. I don't have any issue with outlook or any of the things people mentioned in the thread except I really like the TP2's keyboard... It is by far the best keyboard I have ever used coming from BB's, iphone, and ect. I just don't think a physical keyboard is going to be enough of a reason if the TP2 does not effectively give me enough of a reason to not also carry around my ipod. Something I am sure the EVO would do easily.

I was in the same boat. I'll admit, I was VERY apprehensive about switching from the TP2 because of the hardware keyboard.. It was one of the reasons I hated on iPhones, etc. That being said, I dont miss my physical keyboard one bit. With Swype, I dont even go into landscape mode to get a keyboard anymore. I think you'll like the EVO's KB. I love it, and wonder why I stuck with hardware keyboards for so long.

I hate the Evo screen keyboard. Good luck.

Well it's the keyboard and the fact the phone will cost 120 bucks extra a year... that part I am not thrilled about either.
