What provider did you have the Touch Pro with? I've had an Alltel and verizon version. The verizon version sucks. The gps is locked so they can get money off their Vnav, the cpu is slower, and has less ram. |

Yeah I have a friend with the touch pro, but he has metro. He's happy with it. But I know they always run differently depending on the provider. I've watched some video reviews of the storm 2 and all the reviewers are saying it's 1000x better than the storm and is a great phone. They showed that even on an old OS that it comes with in the box, it runs faster than the storm with the newest version.
So I might give that a try. Ideally I want the iphone, but I'm not willing to switch providers for it. So if I hear any word that verizon will be getting it while I'm waiting, I'll hold out until then. |

If you want to stay with Verizon, wait a bit, because I think the Android phones may be announced tomorrow and available before Thanksgiving. |

Wellll, Jarv and I got new phones a few weeks ago. He waited for the HTC Touch Pro 2 to get in stock (he waited about a week or so, it was back in stock for a whole day, which was when he ordered it, and has been out of stock since), and I got the HTC Imagio. I was really happy with it until one day the phone was telling me I had 1 new text message, which I couldn't find. I went through every folder, every text thread and found nothing that hadn't been read yet. The only thing suspicious that I had found was what appeared to be a thread with myself. It had a text in it that I sent to Jarv, and he received it, but for some reason it was put in a thread with myself, and did not show up in his thread.
I tried turning the phone off and back on, I tried taking out the battery, I deleted every message and conversation, clearing everything out, and that damn "1" just wouldn't go away. I went to verizon and the tech guy did all the same things I did, and finally came out of his back room and said he couldn't figure it out and all he could offer me was to replace the phone, if I still wanted it, explaining I may have gotten a defective one. He offered to transfer all my contacts and set up my e-mail again and put everything back the way it was, so I took the offer. He did however, say something about that he hates Windows Mobile, and I've heard that people either love it or hate it, they swear by Windows or by Blackberry. He then stopped himself saying he didn't hate it, that it was good, but this sort of thing tended to happen on their phones. Anyway, he replaced my phone and everything has been fine. Then, the same thing happened with Jarv's Touch Pro 2. He went to verizon, just yesterday and since the phone is sold out, they couldn't replace his, so he had to back his phone up, and then reset it. When I was trying to play with his phone, I noticed the same thing, a message that was sent to me, and I received, but was filed in a thread with himself. Now today, it has happened to me again. I again, found the same thread with myself holding a message that belongs somewhere else. And now that it has happened twice, I'm frustrated. My 30 day trade-in period ends next week, on the 13th, so i need to make a decision soon. So I need opinions. I'm considering just going to blackberry because of what the tech guy said. I'm worried to go to another windows phone and have it do the same shit. I'm liking the touch screen thing, and have heard the storm 2 is a huge improvement on the original. So that is an option. Then of course, you have all been talking about the Android, which is coming out on Friday, the 6th. Jarv has told me when he went to verizon, they didn't say it was windows mobile causing the problem that windows was the reason they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Argh, I'm going crazy here. Help please! |

Go droid
The storm2 isn't bad now that they got 5.0 OSes on them.

HTC makes some great phones, I've had mine for almost 2 years and its finally starting to wear out from harder than normal use. I too had a problem with some of my texts dissapearing, brought it to a store tech and the guy hooked it to a computer and changed some settings and it never happened again.
Android really is the wave of the future, a few years and it will dwarf all other phone OSs (except ipod which will be a relevant force for years)

HTC has some pimp ass phones. Wish the providers would supply more of them.

I'm sticking with Samsung... Every time I deviate from them I run into problems. I'm not saying that they are perfect but I seem to have less problems with their phones.
