Switch Touch Pro 2 for Droid?

I purchased the Verizon Touch Pro 2 the day it came out, but I have never been happy with the phone. I have had some issues with two of them actually. I’m receiving my third new phone this Thursday. I’m going to sell it off on either Ebay or XDA or something, but I was curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship to the new Motorola Droid. Anyone? I think the droid is a great mixture between the customization of WM6.5 and the stability of Blackberry. What do you think? Anyone taking the leap? I think that will be my next phone. I was excited for the WM6.5 update and what not, but it my eyes WM will never be great until possibly WM7.
PS: If you’re interested in a new HTC Touch Pro 2, we can discuss that too! Just thought I would toss that in there…..

We have almost 20 TP2s. Everyone knows the Droid is coming, no one has asked. I have 10 more eligible for upgrades in the next 2 months, and most of them have asked for a TP2.

you say you have had problems? what kind of problems to go through 3 phones :\

I have seen videos of it and it is buggy. For instance if you go to scroll through contacts or a list you drag your finger and about a half of second later it decides to scroll. Plus I can't stand not having decent gps software.

are you talking about the droid not having decent gps software? The google maps on droid looks pretty damn good to me.

Be wary of "The Droid", last guy that thought it was a good idea to switch... well, it didn't turn out so well ...

if you don't want the freedom of doing anything with a mobile device via mods, hacks, and forums (and I mean anything literally) but rather a very handy device that will perform well out the box...then I recommend the droid...but if you want anything you can think of on a phone...stay with the TP2. Pretty much, the TP2, you have to "fix" and "trick" out to see the "actual" potential of what you have where as the the Android OS, you get most of what you would want right out of the box but has limitations. I stay with windows personally cause if I need something, it's there either on xda or ppcgeeks, period. It's just a matter of finding it.

I say do it. The more people we have working on it, the faster we can root it and start modifying.
It looks like a great phone. I can't wait to pick it up friday.

What are the differences between winmo and android?
thanks

Android has a simpler method for installing apps that WinMo tried to emulate, but never even came close. Android also seems to be more customizable than WinMo, and once it's rooted, a lot more modifications can be done without having to flash the phone. Almost all of the apps I had on my Pure I've found Android equivalents for, and more. Beyond that, the differences will probably be more related to improvements in the phone itself.

Before this summer I sold my HTC Diamond so I could afford the HTC Desire... I've been a true WM fan for years. And I also think I was a bit weird since I actually enjoyed using a stylus Since I loved to tweak lots of things in the wm registry I was a bit worried that I would miss that in android, I also played around with the xdandroid project in the end before I sold the HTC Diamond.
After using the Desire for one hour or less I thought like OMG! now I understand why windows mobile is so behind!!! Playing around with free apps from the market, using multitouch in the superfast browser, everything felt just awesome! And suddenly I wondered how the hell I've managed to live with Opera Mobile for years. In Android stuff just works! And you can customize everything, you don't even need to root it (even though I recommend it), just install a great launcher like launcher pro and watch the beauty.
And games Android kicks wm into the dust when it comes to games!!! Check out games like N.O.V.A, I play it online against other people and it's super cool. NFS Shift is another game that looks very good! And finally we have Angry Birds on Android too
I could go on forever... expect to be a happier smartphone user!
...And if this reply didn't make much sense I'm sorry but I'm so damn high atm

thanks for the reply. I got my lg yesterday. And ive got to say for £99 its a bargain! Android is just amazing! Free app in the market. And its so much faster!
I am truly amazed!

And you are using an outdated version of Android (1.6).
2.0/2.1 Eclair and 2.2 Froyo are a lot better.

Sorry for noob question.
I use AppBrain as that saves a set of currently installed programs. It however does not do very good searches *or it does and then adds in sponsored apps*. Are there others like this?
Does My Apps on Google Market store all Purchased apps?

Yes it keeps a list of apparently that you have installed. It also has auto update and will periodically look and find the updates that may be available and install them or you can set to only notify you and ask permission to update...hope this helps

It's the standard market, just the update. Some phones weren't getting it updated so it was a good post so people could get it. It's pretty sweet.

Just like microsoft, google put out and update that was supposed to be an improvement but is just bulkier, and harder to work with.
i think its stupid, the market should be simple and basic, it doesnt need to be a cluster f*** like itunes.
but appearantly google doesnt feel this way and is heading down the path of cluster f***edness.
clean and simple google, clean and simple.

Tell US/Google how you really feel.

I just thought I would post this for anyone who didn't have the UD'ed market but really like your passion for letting us all know what's on your mind.

Thanks a lot for having this here, more than I know how to express honestly haha.... I made my first screw up today and had to revert back to factory settings, but no Android Market App to be found after that happened. So you literally saved my tail lol. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Will audio MMS ever come to Windows Phone?

Really WTF?, I am amazed by the fact that something as simple as this can not be done on a so called smart phone that is supposed to be leaps and bounds ahead of WM.

I miss sending simple MMS to people and don't see what the big deal is with MS not allowing this, I mean you can send video which includes audio but not audio it's self does that make any sense? I mean they even have apps in the market place that lets you down load free ringtones, are the developers at MS smoking crack?

I don't know either but MS need to straighten soon or im jumping ship else where

I would too but I would never go iPhone nor Andriod; I think that if I were ever to jump ship, I would just get a cheap talk and text phone. I just don't get why MS is trying so hard to be like the iPhone when the real competition is from Android

Seriously Microsoft? You can't send video MMS either? What the ****? Jesus Christ !!! What the **** can you do with this phone?

Never say never...come to the dark side lol....why not? they jumped shipped on wm & it users. MS only competion is themselves,they went iphone clone to get beat out by an wm clone,have crappy marketing,dont have alotta devices, & wp lacks many standard features. They shouldve scrapped the windows name and/or had commercials like to they did for pcs showing how easy is it to use.

Not to mention setting up MMS to work for an unlocked Windows Phone is almost like impossible. I think I will regret buying the Radar and will just be better off selling it

I don't blame you, there is a large amount of people that are going out and buing WM devices and ditching WP, if this doesn't open up MS eyes then I don't know what will. For one they need to stop fagging around and stop trying to be like the freaking iphone, 2 they need to get their heads out of the cloud, most people don't want to use that **** and 3 they need to listen to what people actually want, their answer to every question is "That is not possible at the moment".

Doh!!
Like I said, I won't be in a position to download probably till tomorrow, just hoping it will work on my GNex & Nexus 7 (and Nexus 4)!

Hi nishanthhh! I'm one of the Say What You See developers!
Are you sure it froze? The app downloads quite a bit of data when it's first loaded, so you may need to be patient?
If it did fully crash, it'd be great to know what sort of device and OS version you're using so we can try and fix it for you!
Really like to hear from anyone else about the app too - it's our first Android app, so we really want to make it as great an experience as possible!
Or, y'know, at least have it so that you can play the flipping thing.
Cheers,
Jon

Tried the game and had no fcs. The good thing is that it works and is fun. The bad thing is that its quite difficult cause I never had an iPhone or heard of this game. Just one request, I want to zoom in on the picture more cause its quite small and I have to strain my eyes.

ok I tried this app but as a french guy this is clearly too difficult for me, not to mention im not really a movie fan

Hi Juhan! We'll see if we can increase the magnification a bit, certainly down't want to send you running to the opticians!

Hi Jon_SWYS, I have just sent an email to yourselves via your online form with some suggestions and a bug report.
I will attach the email here so anyone else can also comment on if they have the same problems?
I have a few suggestions and a bug report for the current version.
Suggestions: I have been playing this on my Nexus 7, and because the keyboard takes up quite a bit of room, you can't always see the full, flashing clue as it is obscured by the keyboard. Would there be a way that we could hide the keyboard, while keeping the clue flashing and highlighted?
Possibly being able to scroll while the clue is highlighted would be beneficial too, but that is less of an issue.
Bug report: On my Nexus 7, when I try and buy more coins I get a "Sorry there was a problem making a purchase on this device. Please check that your System is up to date and you have the latest version of Google Play installed. I am running 4.2.1. It works on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.
I hope this report helps, and my suggestion makes some sense?
