Not everyone and their mom is on Sprint dumbass...especially considering the horrible numbers that Sprint is posting quarter after quarter.]]>May 7th 2010 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/May 7th 2010 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/
1. No need to call the guy a dumbass. He brings up a valid point. Technically speaking, the Evo offers some nice feature the HD2 does not. Also has Android if that's your cup of tea.

2. While their numbers may not look good, from the comments I read on Endaget and elsewhere seem to indicate people who have Sprint, love them. As a Big Red user, I can tell you I would love to take advantage of Sprint's (very) competitive pricing. ]]>May 7th 2010 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/could not agree more.

1) Windows Mobile isn't that bad of a platform if your experienced with it. I personally find the experience much more satisfying than Android, especially with XDA Devs, and there is always the possibility of dual boot, since the performance specs are identical.
2) There is no 4G in Tucson, so it would be something completely useless to me.
3) I have a dedicated camera, so I don't need the 720p video or 8MP camera on the EVO, although it would be nice.
4) Sprint doesn't have any towers where I live. T-Mobile has 2.
5) I prefer the looks of the HD2 over the tacky black plastic on the EVO.
6) I'm not sticking with my Centro for another 2 months.
7) I have this really nice Sony Ericsson a friend gave me that needs a SIM.
8) The rates are cheaper.
So in many regards, I did not really settle for second best.]]>May 7th 2010 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/May 8th 2010 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/Because I hate Android, it's buggier than Winmo 5, even the best 2 Android phones(Nexus one and Droid Incredible) are having tons of freezing and crashing problems, people just let it slide because it's from google.]]>May 10th 2010 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/May 7th 2010 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/Wouldn't blame them for leaving permanently.

It certainly is. The last and greatest of the Windows Mobile device (and surprisingly one of the best devices out). At least winmo is going out with a bang on something as good as the HD2.

Even the HTC Incredible has a geekiness to it that would appeal to a niche. The Nexus One 'looks' like the most mainstream HTC product.

I'm used to an iPhone and being responsive and doing what I want it to do most of the time. It feels sluggish, and the keyboard needs improvement. It felt like typing of the iPhone 1.0. but of course maybe that was just the particular one that was on display. I'd be willing to give it a second chance, I was just shocked at how it performed vs everyone talking about how great htc phones are. The display is very nice though. ]]>May 7th 2010 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/May 7th 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/May 7th 2010 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/
I'm never sure if people who say this did ever have one. My HD2 has been faultless, the interface is beautifull and even though my GF has an iPhone we often use my phone for TomTom and internet browsing as it simply works better.

I'm not getting into a debate over the HD2 and iPhone (we have both), but I am genuinely surpried that people criticise the HTC when it's such a great bit of kit.]]>May 7th 2010 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/That's right, I'm lying about buying one and not liking it, because that makes perfect sense. There were many things that I hated about the phone, like the entire SMS layout and the management of the texts. Either way, I don't feel particularly inclined to justify myself to you and try and prove to you that I didn't care for the almighty HD2. I'm glad that you like it, I wish I did because I was excited about actually being able to use T-Mobile's 3g. Which can't be done on my now-out-of-retirement iPhone. ]]>May 7th 2010 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/I would have to agree with you. The keyboard lags so badly its impossible to type a message with absolutely nothing in the background according to the task manager. PS1 games run beautifully, but if you press the call button in the texting client half of the time the phone has a shit attack and needs a battery pull.

There is a reason it was equipped with a reset button, and it's because it's needed. A LOT.]]>May 8th 2010 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/May 7th 2010 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/I actually won't get Windows phone 7.

That was my point exactly. It comes with Windows Mobile 6.5. Very few people prefer Windows Mobile 6.5 over WebOS, Android or iPhoneOS. Those that do are glutton for punishment. Windows Mobile 6.x is obsolete; HTC should never have released the HD2 with it pre-installed. It'd be like Apple releasing a new iPhone 4G with version 1.0 of its OS (and no upgrade option).]]>May 7th 2010 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/May 8th 2010 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/current-t-mobile-customers-having-hard-time-upgrading-to-htc-hd2/
Not only that but the T-Mobile location in my area promised me a replacement once they got a new batch in, they even took my name down on a list. 3 days later the list was gone because "corporate said so" so i returned that P.O.S. and got my money back and i was taken back off contract (since mine was already up and i wasn't planning on leaving t-mobile)

I am now planning on leaving t-mobile, i was with them for 5 years and to be treated like this i was very upset.
