I ended up getting the wife a free upgrade too.

Going from the Mogul to this was not very easy. I found myself dependant on the scroll wheel and all of the buttons on the Mogul. I really have to put the Touchfloo to work on this think so it takes some getting used to. I am not a stylus user but I haven't really found many times where I have had to use it yet.

I want to flash a custom ROM on it but I haven't found the time needed to learn how. Nor am I sure of which one to go with.

I like the adaptor and the 3.5mm capablility allowed of it. I am eagerly awaiting delivery of the video output cord that I ordered.

I heeded Darkith's advice and QUICKLY put a protective case and screen protector on it.

I luckily don't know the speed of any other devices as I have only used the Mogul so the speed of this is sufficient. I am more of a buisness user though, so contacts, calendars, email, and sync with outlook are the most important to me. I travel a lot too, so GoogleMaps and internet come in handy.

This phone combined with my $50 SERO plan are still a winner.

 

I rocked a Treo 650 for 3 years... I quess I was expecting more when I upgraded.... I am really a HEAVY duty user, so anything less than stellar shows up pretty fast!

For a light to medium user, I really think this phone will be more than enough... I just cannot be waiting around for the phone to give me a freaking number to dial!!!!...

 

keyboard failed 2 days ago... no drop...no nothing...just slowly went out during the day...who wants the refurb one sprint is gonna send me in a few days?

 

Dayuum rick! What's up with the TP? Looks like waiting for the pre may be the right cool for me.

 

The keyboard was one of the reasons I ditched my sprint mogul. forgot to mention it in my other post. for some strange reason my mogul would type duplicate letters over and over again. So instead of "spoon" it would spit out "spoooooonn".

ROM updates, reboots, nothing fixed the problem.

 

I have the same problem on my XV6800 (same as Mogul)... It is pretty irritating...

Mine is more with the keys toward the middle of the keyboard though. Sometime it won't take the keypress, and other times it would put duplicates.

 

I am so ashamed of how I got pimped...wait for the Pre Brotha Rick!

BTW... does anyone know when its comming???? Also considering the iPhone, but waiting to see what the 3.0 update yields... gotta have cut and paste...plzzzzz!!!

LOL... mine started that for a day or so, then Bam! Nothing... like the keyboard doesnt even exist...

My palm Treo was about 2 years old and s/p one huge drop onto the floor before 2 keys on the edge that hit started acting up.... I was so hopeful that this phone would be such a big help...

 

whats the "Pre"?

iinteresting, that qwerty seems pretty small though

 

Hate to hear of your misfortune. Hopefully you find a more reliable one that suits your fancy. I am still trying to learn the TP and I really miss the wheel and buttons that were on my MOGUL. I am going to switch out my TP before my 30 days is up to reset the 30 days and hopefully the pre will be out during my second thirty day run so I can switch to it...

 

Pre or iPhone for me... I really need a phone that doesn't require a stylus to get things done... I am too frakin busy to pull it out all the time...

 

Pretty typical for a Palm phone... but ur rite, the one on the TP is really nice... when it is working!!!!

 

I've got an igo bluetooth portable keyboard that is SWEET! My HTC is just like a laptop with it connected...

 

thats sweetness!

Do they still make the "no keys" keyboards that just project onto a surface...havent seen one of those in a while...

 

I went to the Sprint store last friday and showed them my phone... long story short... no charge...sent me a new phone in the box to my house on monday...LOL...either I am a favorite of theirs or when I mentioned the name iPhone...it sent up a red flag...LOL... this is a different build of the TP and works better overall... still not a HTC fan boi!

 

^^ Just about everyone with issues is gettin a new in box replacement at this time. Mainly due to refurb shortage on these. I just ditched mine after 3 mths. Im considering the Palm Pro to use temp till the PRE releases. Should b by summer due to the delayed launch of the Palm Pro.

 

...are you still liking this cover?

...since I just got another one, that is blemish-free, was thinking about putting one on now...before I drop it!

...also, how hard is it to remove if you have to take it off?

thanks alot!

Rick

 

I dont even know what to think, since the Pro 2 is already coming out and this phone is shady... battery is alil better...but all of the other, same issues are still there... gonna find another phone...... my wife wants the Palm Pre... we will see....

 

Still like it. I didn't put it on quite right but it looks good. I ended up ordering two more spares when they were going for so cheap.

I am considering selling it though when the Pro2 is available.

 

Pre is gonna be that hot shytt.
Darksith, there is an invisible shield kiosk at memorial city mall, incase u want to get ur replacement done. they charge to $10 if u want them to put it on though.

 

I hhaaaaattteeee that problem! lol I tried all the above AND got a replacement...same deal. I love everything else about the Mogul though, and I plan on upgrading to the Touch Pro at some point.

 

I might roll that... thx fo da info... this big clear case is droppin my IQ

 

Smart move... when is Pro 2 due out?

 

^in my search to find out when, i discovered that they have a twitter

Sprint is sending me my 3rd TP.... this is the 2nd one that has had a keyboard malfunction... I told Sprint that the TP is a piece of Junk and that I would not accept a rebuild... so they said thy would send me a new one... thats kinda crazy... how many of these do they have laying around????

 

Your lucky if its only the keyboard. Most of these have the screen going black.

 

Black screen is FTL... thats crazy... I sure hope mine doesnt go out like that!

Funny thing is that they keep sending me a brand new phones in the box and all they want is the old phone sent back... i am building a collection of HTC stuff in my closet... and for what... I want this phone gone... not more stuff to go with it...

 

make that the 4th busted keyboard....

.... and I just heard from a Sprint Tech on the Sprintusers web site that they do have a TON of the TP's laying around for replacements...

19 more days with this phone...

 

bigchico68, one of the mods at sprintusers.com just posted this today...

"A little birdie told me starting tomorrow (10.8.2009) they will be replacing TP's in service centers with other models. Don't know what models but they have had too many problems with the TP. Highest replaced phone for sprint."

LOL...this makes me alil crazy, but happy at the same time... will keep yall updated...
