lee 3:08 pm
I called verizon and the dude was like "man we haven't had these in stock for like a month but let me check" they had 3 in stock so he rushed me one

so was it like 2 seconds or 30 minutes? and was it 3 or was it 5?

:o

:o

first call that my iphone dropped had a higher stock number, second time I called back and went through the entire process again they had a lower number.

and yes the time frame was off

oh and Google Voice for iphone is amazing...I will be getting it for winmo and dropping my text plan. It seemlessly intigrates free text into the factory text of the iphone.

How does one do that? I might be interested in dropping my 500 texts to save $10

well at least on my iphone, once I installed GV mobile on it, it sends and receives texts via the google voice host, which is free. It integrated perfectly and went straight from my stock SMS button on my homepage instead of having some clunky interface....right now I am about to get on my att account and see how many texts I have sent and then have a lengthy conversation with soembody on text and see if they add them on or not. If they don't, I will be taking off text plan from my new phone and just installing GV.

Draconius · 11-04-09, 05:33 PM

So people then have to text the GV number? If they text your actualy number you use texts?

Draconius · 11-04-09, 05:52 PM

o bad this isn't out/ready yet

I have a winmo phone right now with no issues.

So I would gladly go with another winmo phone.

How you doing that? The cheapest I can manage to get on Verizon's website is:

Nationwide Select 450 (includes unlimited text) - $60
Email & Web for Smartphone - $30
Total - $90

As opposed to iPhone:

Nation 450 - $40
Data for iPhone - $30
iPhone Unlimited Messaging - $20
Total - $90

So.....if you like Google Voice on your iPhone, and you can drop down to an even cheaper text plan to get your AT&T bill lower, why'd ya plunk down for the TP2? Just want to get to Verizon anyway?

Correct.

**MrFatbooty** · 11-04-09, 08:01 PM

Oh and also Lee FYI if you do want to stick with the move to VZW and WinMo, here's a good Google Voice client thaht does SMS: http://www.onedialer.com/

Correct.

the entire purpose of this exercise was to get the fuck off ATT. I wasn't going to leave ATT if I couldn't get it down cheaper on VZ which I have.

ATT:
900 minutes
data
text

Verizon:
I did 39.99 plan with 450 min.
added data 29.99
added 500 text for 10.00

everybody i know is on verizon so the verizon to verizon being free on text and minutes makes it easy to keep them low.

edit: fuckers

they said it would go next day and it went 2Day so I won't get it until friday

**MrFatbooty** · 11-04-09, 08:23 PM

Well, enjoy the switch, TP2 is a pretty solid phone.

Check out xda-developers.com forum, there should be plenty of stuff on there for you to play with. Here's the section you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=479

I suggest getting the cab file to add HTC wifi tethering (turns your phone into a MiFi hotspot).

Sega Genesis Emulator is called Picodrive, SNES is called PocketSNES.

If you need to browse Flash there is Skyfire, otherwise there are ways to tweak Opera Mobile to do Flash.

Bing Mobile app has rudimentary free turn-by-turn navigation.

Fring is a good IM client.

Civic2Scooby · 11-04-09, 08:45 PM

Yeah it seems to have a pretty good size nodding scene which is good. I already bought copilot8 live for navi duty. Verizon also told me that it will be releasing 6.5 before the end of November

Civic2Scooby · 11-06-09, 09:54 PM

welp got my phone today and all I can say is HTC touch pro 2 >>>> iphone. This thing is like a laptop in my hands. The operating system is incredibly smooth and the capabilities I am still trying to unfold. After I ported my contacts over from google I did facebook link which automatically searched for the people on my phone on facebook and linked them to their contact. This takes there FB photo and makes it there contact card photo. It also updates when they update their status and puts it under their name on my contact list. Some of you mite think it is excessive and it can be turned off, but it flows in so seamlessly. Just click and hold down on their photo and bang you are on their FB wall ready to post. I was pretty impressed with that little feature. I also forgot how awesome a physical keyboard is. I am waaay faster on it and it makes surfing the net and posting huge blurbs like this a no brainer. I would never have posted all this from the iphone it was just too much of a pain in the ass.

cliffs: new phone >>> iphone.

Uhoh...where's Jessie and Drew to slam you now?

Also is the FB app a winmo app or an htc app? I would be interested in grabbing that if it is a winmo thing

Just started using 3g and no worries at all so far.

Civic2Scooby · 11-09-09, 12:22 AM

well that didn't take long, I already cooked my own ROM for this phone. The support for this thing is rediculous. Fuck standard 6.5 upgrade that verizon hasn't put out yet I just built my own with my own options. If anybody else needs a windows mobile ROM built let me know.

6.5 kicks the shit out of 6.1 in every aspect. Everything is smoother and I am using 30% less memory to run standard functions.

JessTD · 11-09-09, 12:23 PM

iphone is still awesome, but i've never hated on winmo ... i've been debating a HTC device for a while just hate to jump ship yet again
