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.

looks crap whatever it is

hmmm, i hope this is not SGS 3!!

I too think that its fake...But we never know if it comes true....from last few months this phone is creating a great buzz.
Lets hope for the best until it finally comes out.

Sure it's not beautiful
I'm not really sure it 's a fake
We will have more rumor/Buzz soon i think
PS : 681 RAM for use ~= 1GB RAM in the cellphone

check: youtu.be/3Ei61wWOr4w

Best fake ever.

seem s3 have 1,5g ram

With English subs.....

Keep in mind that the case is actually a dummy case used to disguise/protect the real design of the device while testing.

i kinda like it. nice slick design. i doubt anybody will renew the look of these smartphones anytime soon. and if its fake then a nice one.

so its basically a galaxy S2 with a faster processor and a better screen?

Does anyone believe that this is a notification LED in the first picture? This would be so great!!
But the Camera shots are extremly crappy, the GPU is a great letdown, but for a mid range device its too big and too well made with a quad core AND a 720P OLED Screen. this should be the real deal, a shame

IT is called galaxy s2 plus and not s3

After thinking about it, you are right
But then, will the Galaxy S3 have a notification LED and removable bettery and SD Slots?

IPhone owners say the darndest things

I was talking to an iPhone owner about the internet situation at his house when I asked him why he just doesn't tether if he has good phone reception
To which his reply was" if I tether my iphone then I'll have to connect it to the computer to turn it back on' when clearly what he was thinking was a tethered jailbreak. And not wireless internet
To which I laughed hard for about 5minutes solid.
This got me pondering about other people's experiences with iSheep so please share and discuss them here!

Most of you may have heard of this, i ask my friend why she wanted to buy a 4S, and she replied:
"It's got Siri"
And i was like

Swyped from my GT-i9100

I have one. My friend posted a siri vs google now vid on his timeline and of course google now trumped. The ishep convo goes like this:
Isheep, upon seeing the video, simply said:
Nope
Smart person:
Explain to me why siri is better.
Me: IPHONES SUCK
Isheep:
Siri is better because it's still really fast, and the droid only beat it by fractions of seconds at some points. It also gave more out more data than its competitor, and was more visually appealing. I also personally don't care which sounds more human like either.
Me:
Wrong on all counts. Android was WAY faster on most tests and it is MUCH more appealing. It did not give out more data whatsoever. Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grmixtB9dZM
Smart person:
In most cases people want data immediately, not more of it. And siri only displayed more data once.
Isheep:
Yeah but it did give it out immediately. I don't think most people would care if you get data in 2 seconds vs 2.5 seconds, or even 2 vs 3 seconds
Smart person:
People want information and not those little "additions" that say "the weather looks good outside today."
Idk why but this just makes me laugh...

Switching from Xperia Z3 to LG G3, is it just me?

This is not a trolling topic. This came from a casual Z3 user.
I pre-ordered the Z3 on Sony store and got it. The phone was great, screen was pleasant to look at, no lags ever happened, but there were too many cons that took over the pros imo:
- The battery was not that great, I've installed GSAM App since day one, and now the average screen-on time is only 5 hours, maximum is 6h30m. I've tried resetting the phone via Pc Companion... no luck. I mainly use the phone for Facebook, Web browser, taking pictures, and music, no heavy games.
- I've dropped it several times due its f*cking slippery glass panels. So far there's no crack but the aluminum sides are slightly damaged.
- It's so uncomfortable to hold. Sony made premium phones for sure, but it's not practical... the Z3 is just a beautiful metal slab but not really a phone. In my opinion, the curved back is much much more comfortable to hold in hands.
- Wifi range is horrible. I've tried putting the Z3 next to the LG G3 and Moto G, the Z3 lost signal frequently, the other 2 were fine.
- Glass back panel = fingerprint magnet.
- Finally, the most disappointed feature - Camera. I don;t know what the heck Sony did to their Z3, but the camera is just average to me. Plus it does not focus well while recording videos, even with normal macro shots; Superior Auto sucks; too tiny flash; a lof of Noise; a lot of disappointments.
- Not to mention that it fails so badly on cosmetic look. Huge gaps; unsymmetrical panels; bulging nylon corners. They are not a big deal for me, but compared to other phones in terms of cosmetic build, Sony has to work harder.

Question Build quality of this device?

how is the build quality of this device? heating problems?
how is it vs. the Samsung S20 SE
any battery drain isues? is Realme updating the software and security in time?

Build Quality - To me it feels premium in the hand. The only thing I'm worried about it only has IPX5 water resistance.
Heating Problems - None. I play CODM, Diablo Immortal, FF7 The first Soldier and use Moonlight to stream games from my PC all at max settings with balanced gpu profile on Game Space. It becomes lukewarm.
Better than Samsung S20 SE? - GT Neo 2 has a CPU gen better than the S20, more battery and faster charging (30min from 10%). I have not yet tried One UI, but, Realme UI is also highly praised. On the Neo 2 it's really smooth and has many customisation.
Battery Drain issues: None. See below. However, battery usage differs from user's settings. And I'm absolutely happy with this phone's battery usage.

Updates: Seems extremely slow and concerns me a lot. Global is still on Realme UI 2.0 while China and India are on Realme UI 3.0 since a while. I personally don't care about security updates.

I've had Realme GT Neo 2 for 2 months now and haven't received any, even security updates. Shame on you, realme.

thank you for the comprehensive reply i do apreciate it.
i have one baught expecting it soon.

i have just received the device.
all good and working. very fast wifi, and 4G. moving between networks in a breeze.
phantom chip probably cpu and wifi working correctly.
screen brightness is crazy good.
The screen has a factory screen protector like in Samsung devices.
Camera gives rly great photos indoor in low light conditions. didn't try it outside yet.
speaker quality and volume is ok. very depending on source quality. Ring volume is not so loud.
