yea...you just click on Edit, then Go Advanced, then you can change the title. Also, it says at the bottom of the post who is doing the editing.

I PREY verizon releases the 6.5 update soon. I was using titanium for the past few months on my TP1. Can't wait to see how nice the titanium is on this big screen.

6.5 is a big upgrade because it is faster than previous versions. Also, there is a rumor floating around that 6.5 will have new drivers, maybe supporting hardware acceleration. More importantly, touchflo3d gets upgraded from 2.0 to 2.5, which increses the depth touchflo extends to.

6.5 is the Operating System (os) of your phone. The whole operating system will change for the better. Right now you run 6.1. its like going from windows xp to vista or something like that. A whole new experience.

If you check out 6.5 screenshots you'll see the awesome staggered start menu. I think it will add a lot options on the windows front and also give the TF3D more tweaks. I find that the windows 6.1 side of TP2 is very sparse. Once you disable TF3D, yr stuck with a blank screen. Hopefully 6.5 has more substance.

If you disable TF3d you can still get the same classic Windows Mobile interface of the past 8 years or so, just enable the items you want. As for 6.5, never saw much of a difference aside from the Start Menu. Titanium is kind of cool, but Touchflo is better.

touchflo is better in your opinion you mean. I hate touchflo and cant wait to remove it. titanium is smoother, less flashy, and by far is a resource hog and takes up more memory. tf3d2.1 takes up like 32 mg or more. tf3d2.5 will take up even more memory and for what, thats what i'm wondering. I like the less flashy but more stable look from titanium. The only thing i like about touch flo that i'm going to miss is the music player, windows media player is weak. Touch flo has problems with memory that i don't like, for instance if you're scrolling through contacts and select one thats starts with P then press back, you're at the top of the list instead of the p section. The music player while scrolling through song artists or albums and you select one they you press back, your at the top of your artist list again and have to scroll all the way to the bottom because there is no random access in the music section. Have you tried to play nfs on your tp2 it won't work because of the memory error, as soon as you turn off tf3d it works flawless. Thats just an example, i don't know if you even tried to run nfs on your tp2.

I've played NFS with TF3d enabled and it worked fine. I'm on the Telus version of the phone though, maybe that makes a difference somehow.

works fine in my Verizon phone with TF enabled also.

I do have to start NFS in landscape mode (KB out), but as soon as it starts up it will run fine in any mode.
