I wasn't impressed with the keyboard, thought the D-pad was silly, and the gold is ugly. The TP2's keyboard is phenomenal... absolutely perfect. If I had to pick between the two, I'd probably go with the TP2... no new OS to learn, no new versions of programs to find, and the keyboard is better.
I can't go keyboardless... I type too much & have never used an onscreen keyboard that even approaches the usability of the even mediocre real ones.
As an aside... when I bought my 1st smartphone, I was NOT looking for a smartphone. I had always had a problem with losing my phones, so I either wanted something like the tiny Startac BellSouth Mobility had, or I wanted something "the size of a shoe" that I couldn't lose. That's actually how I explained what I wanted to the salesguy.
The outgoing model was the ginormous & bulbous Apache 6700. He handed me that ugly brick & I was sold in a heartbeat. Add to that the fact that there was a MFR's rebate, a Sprint rebate, the new-contract rebate AND a rebate through my work & I got the thing for $50! Schweet!
My thinking panned out... I have NOT lost a phone since.
Uh.... what was this thread about?
one word for the keyboard and me and wcked feel alike.... better keyboard
