Can't even increase magnification or adjust the screen to see anything. It is what it is.

I only thought about that point while I was replying. I was surprised to see the jack in the videos. I LOVE this phone! I've always bought HTC devices. I also have ALWAYS ticked off my wife every two years (upgrade). (Anyone looking for the original HTC Touch w/ WM 6.5? :wink: )

You may, very well, be correct. I just got the TP2 (Sprint) and that is what it is listed as, a "G Sensor". In the settings it lists: "Auto rotate" and "calibrate" (shows two bubble levels - one setting horizontal and one vertical). Figure this; Apple listing their sensor as an "accelerometer" doesn't make much sense either. It doesn't allow anything to "accelerate" (or does it?). Both are simply different marketing names for achieving the same results, in my opinion.

FYI: "gravity sensor" (G senor), like the iphone has, allows for automatic rendering of the screen when going from portrait to landscape and visa virsa (without manually changing screen settings). The "Tilt 2" IS the TOUCH PRO 2 - NOW, all major carriers have it - sweet phone - even though it weighs 1.6 oz more than the 3GS!

Personally, I'd buy TP2 for the sake of it being HTC, NOT MicroSoft and their Windows Mobile. MicroSoft has been so behind in thought and has been for the last four (or so) years. All of my PDA Phones have been from HTC. They just seem to have their S**t together. I see HTC going their own without MicroSoft in the near future, permanently - maybe they have started already w/ their Androided HERO! My contract is up w/ Sprint. TP2 ...

Got to disagree Jay. They ARE different. Though, I appreciate their qwerty AND the way its adjustable (like their Tytn II) the Pro2 is too thick for my taste. The HD is 15.25mm less. HD is 32 gm lighter HD's camera is larger MB (not that I use the camera - by 'hey'). HD's screen is a whopping 2/10 larger (3.8") 8O - believe you mentioned 3.7 - their specs show 3.6" :wink: .

Just downloaded .9. It would appear there still will be areas that are "checkerboard" and "blurry". However, this version seems to render the page more quickly. Unfortunately, your situational area may still show suffering.

Probably so. Every other manufacturer of BT keyboards, pretty much, had similar pricing - give or take $20. They target the business class.

yes, reducing does make since. However, how often have YOU seen a Windows Mobile Device advertisement on the main stream media (TV)? I've been a WMD owner for 4 years now and I can honestly say I haven't seen Microsoft advertise WM's advantages ever on the TV. NOW, compare that to an iPhone advertisement. Appple (through AT&T) advertises their "package" - THEIR phone with THEIR operating system. Surely, MS will focus on HTC being exclusive. Then they can truly ...

As you said Caesar, "...IF' you and your kids communicate well." I would venture to say kids/parents, today, don't communicate as well as they should and those kids feel, "What Mon/Dad don't know, won't hurt em".

Originally, they could. But, w/ all the hacks going on w/ Windows Mobile Devices (and BBs) Sprint felt some hacked programs might infringe on copyright laws and didn't feel comfortable; hence, they halted MMS on these devices.

:paranoid: Don't think I'd be broadcasting the last part of your message. Yes, there ARE websites that provide such services and like it or not it IS piracy (illegal). I'm sure Skyfire has the ability to block websites or worse, provide the authorities with your IP address (if forced) or permanently, "log you out" since you are using their server.
