BB Tour vs. TP2?
so i gave up the wait for the bb tour2/bold and got my dad an htc tp2. he loves the phone, especially the great keyboard (hands down the best i've ever used)...but coming from a dumbphone, i'm not sure he feels it's a keeper. is the blackberry OS much easier to get used to than winmo 6.5? besides outlook, i've managed to get his other email accounts pushed to the handset every 30 minutes...so at least that's taken care of. any other smartphone suggestions would have to be global ready. any thoughts? thanks.
...
anyone? basically, all i want to know is if the blackberry OS is easier to get used to than winmo 6.5. i haven't spent enough time on either to know the difference.

I hear that the Blackberry is a much easier transition for someone who came from a 'dumbphone', as opposed to something like WinMo, Android, or an iPhone.

I personally have a Blackberry Tour and a Driod Eris and I love both of them for different reasons. The blackberry tour is hands down the phone with the longest battery life IMHO smartphone that I have every used, and I have been though a lot. The keyboard on the tour is amazing. I bet I can type fast and better than any person using a touch based keyboard including the iPhone( I had that for a year). I have my work email and my personal email set up with my blackberry and get it instantly. I absolutely love that facebook and myspace notifications are pushed immediately to the phone the moment someone does anything concerning me (I couldnt get my Eris to do that). The blackberry tour will last me two days on a full charge and that is with he...

Thanks for your points of view guys. All my dad really needs is push email (for work and his non-profit org) and calls. He doesn't really text/browse online all that much. Sounds like Blackberry is the more logical choice, but after spending a week with his Touch Pro2, he may just be getting the hang of it. I'll suggest he wait it out just before his 30 days are up and see where he is at that point.
