Switching from TP2 to EVO

[BenC]

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.

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"

sold it for 150, i got the evo last night, cant put it down....lossta stuff to download etz....definately a learning curve here...ill learn this os for sure, but there is a learning curve

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.

bottom line...yesterdays technology....n i loved/love my pt2, but...il get used to it, just like i did when computers came out n no one knew what to do with them...

I am going to play with the android OS on my tp2 for a little while, but also call some local stores to see if they have any EVO's in stock. None within a 30+ mile radius has had them in stock every time I go through the list. Depending on how droid does on the TP2, and if an EVO is in stock within the next few days I'll get one or keep the phone I have.

To the threadstarter, if in fact the keyboard is that important to you, you could always wait for the epic 4g, thats a very nice looking device with a nice hardware keyboard.

Yup I agree. capacitive is soooo much better. Incredible how much more responsive it is compared to resistive. Too bad the Evo snapdragon cpu is a joke thou. Theres that imput lag that does not go away no matter what.

thru it all, the evo kicks ass..i cant put mine down, n 4g is pretty impressive, so i guess the time ya save with 4g vs the lag you describe is a minor inconvenience, you try to pick fly shit out of the pepper, but this phone blows my old tp2 out of the water, i loved my touch pro, but im beginning not to miss it, much like my 1st wife

Just picked up the Evo today and I love it!! Gonna be selling my TP2 here very soon. I also cant stop playing with it, much more excited over this than I was the TP2 even though I called an ordered the TP2 the day it was available on telesales and paid the $10 extra to have it overnighted. I'm not even in a rush to flash this like I was with the TP2. I was dying to flash it the day I got it and checking on here for the unlocker every 5 minutes. Kinda weird but I actually enjoy this phone the way it is right outta the box...

The novelty of the EVO wears off rather quickly. I played with a friends ERIS last night and the experience was almost identical. The Eris felt more fluid than the EVO because there wasn't a 30FPS limit on it. The only real point I can see to getting the EVO is if you live in a 4G area and don't mind leasing a phone.
