The day I ordered an EVO I found out that my SERO plan could take it if I wait till OCT. So I’ll return it and see what comes out around OCT.

What did I think of it? I’m coming from windows mobile 6.5 with HTC improvements (as well as a custom rom)

  1. I really miss the X button that you can hold and it will shut down the specific program. plus the little pull down on the main screen where you can shut down unused programs.
  2. I miss being able to quickly check all my emails with a few screen swipes
  3. Strangely enough the on screen keyboard (resistive screen) on the touch pro 2 is better. It really annoys me that if i already touched a key on the screen it won’t register it but the one next to it if i moved my finger a little (as i brush off to press the next button).
  4. I don’t like the fact that you can’t select where you store your media and it just searches the entire SD Card
  5. SNOOZE!!! i miss the different snooze options.
  6. I think the icons should be closer to each other, medicine so much space wasted.
  7. The stupid camera lens sticking out really bothers me, misbirth i know its a matter of time for it to either crack or scratch.
  8. No way to just shut down the cellular (yes i know there’s an app for plane mode + wifi)
  9. There is no easy way to customize the lock screen (to show agenda etc)
  10. The camera is really sub par.
  11. Very little internal storage space. WHY ?!

Pros:

  1. It’s much faster than my old TP2.
  2. Marketplace for apps.
  3. Front camera. I can see it useful
  4. Better integration with Google services, navi, cal, etc…
  5. Thiner and lighter.
  6. I like the bigger screen.

Comments are always welcomed.
