treo 800w to TP1 or TP2

[derrickmd18]

Hello I have a Treo 800w and I'm thinking about upgrading to a TP1 or TP2(when is it coming out?) and I have a few question before I deside.

1. does touch pro have area code look up like 800w does? I mean like if a dial in 443-444-4444 it will say Maryland when I hit send on talk on the phone.

2. Battery life How is the battery life in the TP1 and TP2? I know with my 800W I can fully TAX it for like 3 hours sending about 30-40 text messages looking on opera mini and on slick messenger and I'm down to 30% battery with gps and wifi off and the screen turned down 2-3 bars from full dim.

3. Typing to screen lag time? pretty much how much of a lag is it when you start typing on the keyboard before it gets with the screen if you are typing long txt's and on word typing?

4. On screen keyboard. how is it on the TP1 and TP2? i don't have it on the 800w keyboard is right under the screen and sometimes hard to type.

5. GPS. what up with it with the TP1 and TP2? I read on there that there is problems with it. I know I use the GPS and sprint nav about once a month to find a place or to drive from Maryland to Central New York so GPS would be working for 5hours + on trips like that. Also heard that the battery goes dead while on the charger. I had HTC 6800 and I know when i had it I have to charge it 100% before I made the trip or it would get hot and turn off charging and go dead. if it was at 50% and i put it on charger and it would charge up and use gps and nav and get hot and stop charging. So whats up with TP1 and TP2 on this?

the tp1 doesnt have area code lookup...at least not on the sprint rom...which is all i run. the on screen keyboard is pretty slick IMO. gps i great...sometimes it may take a few seconds to lock on. the battery life is decent but again i run the sprint rom...there are millions of roms that can fix this. overall comsidering everything its a very good phone. not sure when the tp2 drops but if youve made it this far you may as well just wait for it now.

yea thats all I will be running is sprint roms. still trying to figure out when the tp2 is coming out and looking to see if there is a program to add area look up.

TP2 is going to be too big for me I think

This CDMA TP2 looks too neutered to me, and is a complete eyesore with this orange inside of the back cover.

if you dont have neither, the touch pro 2 is the obvious answer since you will upgrade overall to a better device and since it has a bigger screen and the new goodies , why not?

now it you have a pro1 then depends if the upgrade is enough for you since its minor

I had a treo 800w the worst phone I ever had. I now have a TP the best phone I have ever had. That being said if you can wait a little while I would wait for the TP2 and see what thats like. If you want a TP1 after seeing the TP2 then you could still get it and the price would be sure to drop. If not then aleast there would be no buyers remorse over the TP2 when it comes out.
