I have really simple (lol) needs in a phone.

Seemless & wireless connectivity with my email, calendar and contacts in Outlook. Works globally (ie Europe, Asia, and here). GPS is a plus. Music player is a plus. Most importantly and easy keyboard to type on. Lastly the smaller the better as I am a pocket user as I hate shit bolted on to my belt.

TP2 comes with all the plugs to work globally.

The TP2 can handle email, and sync with Outlook, has wifi and bluetooth. It has Win media Player (I think you can also get a win amp version), supports FLAC. With some tweaking it supports Pandora. Remember though, it is windows based, lol.

I'm assuming like always with you though Sean, the soonest you will be looking into this is at least 6 months lol, which, in that time Windows Mobile 7 is supposed to be out and be a much better operating system

Are you saying that I am slow?

Yes, it will take a while as I have to buy 16 of them if I switch and convince my boss it is the right thing to do.

TP2 has the ability to do all of that. it's about the size of an iphone but bigger screen and thicker. It's only a bit thicker as it has a slide out button keyboard.

It will also have win 7 support soon and all the networking that can work with that.

I used to really like MS city and streets for directions/gps, but I don't know how good it is anymore.

Probably packaged in the MS search/MS live progs that came with your phone.

What UI did you switch to? I am just using the HTC TP2 standard UI. I have to update and download the "1 new text" bug fix, but I can't imagine a better phone than this.. at least untill HTC comes out with a new one. They should become publicly traded here in the US. I haven't had a non HTC phone in 5+ years

I downloaded the spb mobile shell. Its supposed to cost, but I'm on a trial right now.

The only problem I have with the phone lies with texting and the pictures. Sometimes its just slow to open a new text, which is really annoying. Also if I'm in a convo with someone and leave it up on my phone and they text me something new, I can reply to it but unless I click there name in the convo it acts as if I never read the message.

With the pictures its just slow to open sometimes...

There is a new text bug. You may have better luck if you update.

There will be more win mob solutions by then I bet. I am just amazingly happy with the TP2, and htc in general.

The ability to modify the phone and the UI that HTC makes for winmob makes it a joy to use.

Mikes right about the picture/text interface, but again there are known bugs and fixes. It may not cure them all but for me I send so few picture texts it's amazing. I do love the copy from internet, paste to MMS function.

Text highlighting is not as ideal as I would like in opera, but it's a small price to pay. Wim mob like BB is much more function and buisness oriented and much less about cutesy apps.

one bad thing about traveling up here though is the abundance of the firearm shops; we've already snagged a .22LR Taurus Tracker in the 2.5 days we've been here :tehe:

I would loose my retirement.

There are so many weapons I still want. :/

do want .50 BMG

I also want a .44 mag I think or maybe a .500 or .50AE. Probably wheel gun rather than auto.

A nice bolt action barrett would make me giggle too.

I just read quite a few reviews on the Droid, there is a good chance I'll end up with one.

I'm listening to the news now, I'm a little angry that they keep repeating a story about two EMT's that allegedly didn't assist a pregnant woman that was having difficulty breathing because they were on break. The truth however is both EMT's are dispatchers who were not qualified to assist the woman. The media being..well the media refuses to say that.

.44 Mags are fun, specially wheel gun form; being able to swap for .44 Special rounds at will is a major plus too
