I don't get it either. I think people maybe tried to use an A2DP headset with a device that has crappy bluetooth hardware or the user didn't know they weren't in stereo mode. Now they're jaded for life, even though they did it wrong, and then a bandwagon forms and people start hating on A2DP without even trying it. You know, just like Vista.

Seriously people give A2DP a try, I use Sony DR-BT21G's with an HTC Touch/Samsung P2 and it sounds great.]]>Apr 24th 2009 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/Headphones cost 10$ vs what 100$ for okayish bluetooth headphones?
They need no batteries therefore I only have to charge one thing vs two.
I really don't want to be bombarded with extra radiation already coming from the phone. ]]>Apr 24th 2009 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/Apr 24th 2009 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/
Also, they failed to add a flash to the camera, which is a really foolish move. All cameras, especially one on a phone, need a flash.

.. 1. instead of fixing the crappy dpad on the touch pro they removed it completely

This totaly sucks cuz now you are forced to scroll and press with touch.. and that can be a bit annoying if wanting to just quickly call someone.

the lack of having any of these buttons is a real ... sad loss, of even the crappy ones that is.

2. there is still no headphone jack for some strange reason, eventhough the great new speakers

Stop giving us hardware and no way to use it.
2: Yes, the TP d-pad sucks!

My contract expires late summer, so HTC still has a chance to win me back, but the Pre looks more and more like a winner in my book. ]]>Apr 24th 2009 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/Apr 24th 2009 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/Apr 24th 2009 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/
If this had capacitive touch and Android, I'd buy it in a second. The 3.5mm is annoying but I'd be using bluetooth earphones anyways :)

Here's to hoping that some of the HTC, Acer, others companies? will release some decent Android phones later this year! Or else I may end up buying the 3rd gen iPhone :(]]>Apr 24th 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/
b) What's wrong with WinMo? Especially the latest beta version? If it's a user experience matter, there's many downloads you can pick to change the interface. There's a bazillion applications you can install, and it will have Exchange support, and sync to your PC easy.

I honestly do not see why you would pick Android over WinMo. ]]>Apr 24th 2009 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/
Also the caveats of WMWifiRouter to turn my phone into a Wireless access point and also mapping a button to turn the LED flash into a flashlight comes in handy too. I deal with people trying to bring me their personal blackberry every week asking if they can get their email and contacts on it since they bought into the commercial hype that blackberry is the greatest (maybe 8 years ago they were) but when you have native exchange support who they hell would buy Blackberry's BIS/BES. Knock WinMo if you like but HTC TF2D/TF3D gets the job done like no other phone can. I have tons of Motorola Q/Q9m/Q9c, Samsung Omnia and Samsung Saga's in the company and most of those phones are crap compared to the recent HTC line.]]>Apr 25th 2009 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/Apr 24th 2009 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/hopefully HD2 wil come this yr]]>Apr 24th 2009 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/htc-touch-pro2-gets-thoroughly-tinkered-with-overseas/it also has a camera with less pixels
