Re: New Touch Pro 2 not worth upgrade, must read!

I can see how it is a questionable upgrade from TP, but for folks upgrading from 6800, do you think it is worth it? I definitely do... especially since my 6800 is on the fritz and currently has the functionality of a paperweight.

Yes, even though I've never had a 6800, I'm sure the TP2 will be better than a non-working 6800.

Personally, I'm keeping my TP.
I'm ok with the screen and the KB of the TP, I don't care that much about the improved mic and speakerphone (they work fine as is), and I would miss the D-pad.

I think it's a pretty weak "upgrade". Of course, that's just my opinion.

Re: New Touch Pro 2 not worth upgrade, must read!

I didnt read every comment, but one other thing to note is that the speaker phone on the TP2 will be much improved.

Tilting screen - check
3.6 " scnree - check
larger keyboard - check
Improved speakerphone - check

Almost every complaint about it is solved.

Ram is not an issue with TP1. Sure, it could use a boost to CPU speeds and internal ROM space, but hardly a deal breaker.

Re: New Touch Pro 2 not worth upgrade, must read!

1- TP1 lagged in performance cuz the CPU could barely handle the VGA screen, i cant imagine how it would perform on WVGA with older CPU and less RAM .....

2- pple complain on battery life on TP only to upgrade to a device with WORST hahaha

3- everybody says that apple brainwashes pple with a ****ty product andy et pple still want to buy this cuz they are mainly seduced by the screen... good work HTC

Im gonna open a "I Told You So" thread the minute the Rhodium section is opened =D>

+1 for 8820, umma wait 2 KB and bigger screen arent good nuff,phuk dat. A combo of a good battery performance and a a 512MB RAM will be an incentive, other than that , HTC and Sprint can forget it ....
