Dropped Epic - Went to TP2

Same for the call log, you can sometimes click exactly in the call button, but it is a hell of a task and typically brings up the persons profile.

Oh, OK. You should give "dialer one" a shot, it has smart dialing and like the HTC dialer will show around 3-4 contacts as you are pressing keys. I have not played with the dialer much on the Epic as its my wife's phone but I will check this out later.

This thread has to be fake. Having owned a series of Windows Mobile devices starting with the PPC6700, the IP830W, Mogul or PPC6800, Diamond, Touch Pro and then finally the Touch Pro 2 (loved it at the time), and finally the Evo 4G and now the Epic, I have to say that I find it extremely hard for anyone to go back to Win Mobile after using a device like the Epic. But thats just IMHO.

Cheers.

I was there due to an absolute hate of the default screen keyboard. Made my call, found a buyer and then happened upon another keyboard. Since then I have only 1 complaint, the Bluetooth implementation and that is not bad enough to junk the phone. As I have mumbled before, if I knew then what I know now, I would never have purchased the Evo. The Epic would have been it. The TP2 is an excellent device and never has given me any problems. I still carry it with me.

No option to see them all at once though, which I seriously enjoyed about the EVO. It made jumping to a certain application a snap. Also I don't prefer the home screen key being swapped with the menu button. I think that far button should take you to the main page.

Its not the fear of change, it simply wasnt worth it for me to use my upgrade yet. I had high hopes for the phone and was planning on buying it, but because the call quality(sounds tinny + ambient noise isnt filtered like my TP2), and the screen wasnt as nice as it was amped up to be, I chose to wait. Unlike others who pay for the everything data plans, I cant upgrade every year, and with more devices rolling out(+ WP7) I want to hold onto my upgrade and see if something else is worth my investment for the next two years. I like the phone, and I agree, the TP2 is a POS by comparison, but the mic and speakers are one of the best I have ever used, and it still does what I need it to.

PS: Before I get flamed for saying the screen isnt as good as I hoped, consider that my vision is not quite like everyone elses. My eyes are somewhat biased towards red colors, so its easy for me to distinguish the staggered red sub-pixels.

stay away from anything with out a real QWERTY keyboard!!, I'm watching the industry moving to a screen only platform and I'm joining the many who do not want to type on a smooth surface, while having the convenience of a Computer in their pocket..

Then again, I only have 33 posts and an old Diamond (with hacked roms), so what's my opinion worth anyway.

Well..I checked back in after a time with the TP2 and I have to say I still made the correct choice for me. Unlocking and using the Energy ROMS put this device in a much better light.

As for me having only a few posts, head on over to the Treo Pro forums from whence I came. I am not a spammer or have any interest in one phone or another. I would toss around my technical credentials which include working for a major CDMA/ equipment supplier in which I work(ed) on many of the gee whiz feature sets that we all enjoy. However I don't believe that would be productive and after a month of my TP2, I will say again I made the right choice in this case.

I haven't dialed that way since I had a flip phone. Why not push Contacts, scroll to the one you want, press the contact and push call? 3 easy steps.

How can you not press the 1/2" call button easily on the call log screen?

Also, as someone mentioned, you can add 1-click call widgets to any contact/number on your home screens. Looks like 20 will fit on 1 screen. Lots of options.
