"I think the phone is great."
Pros: The look of the phone. The slide out 5 row keyboard. The selection of ring tones. How the applications look.
Cons: There is some lag so you have to be patient.
Summary: I have had my phone for about 2 weeks now. I previously owned a Palm Centro. I like this phone much much better. I feel as though I definitely upgraded when I chose this phone. It is absolutely beautiful. The people complaining about it I really don't get where they are coming from. I can only assume they are the competition and trying to discourage people from buying the phone. Yes, sometimes the phone is slow in loading but I really dig this phone. When you look at the weather and its a rainy day it puts 3D raindrops on the screen which are then quickly wiped away by a windshield wiper. Those are the types of things I really appreciate. When you get a text message it appears on a black background which I really like as well. Aesthetically the phone is gorgeous. I don't think its "too thick" at all. I has a full slide out keyboard so why would you expect it to be razor thin??
I have figured out how everything works and it is different than my Palm but no real issue for me. The GPS is pretty awesome too. If you are looking for a sophisticated, beautiful piece of technology I definitely recommend the HTC Touch Pro.
Updated on Jun 18, 2009I have had this phone for about 8 months now and unfortunately I am not as impressed as I was initially. This phone is very sluggish. It frequently locks up to a point where I have to point where I have to take the battery out to reset it. It only holds a charge for about 6 hours and this is with only a few text message being sent or received! I then try to buy a new battery and this phone doesn't have way to just buy the dang battery so they had to send me an entirely new phone. The replacement phone doesn't work quite the same way the other phone does. When I text with the slide out keyboard the power button is now so sensitive that if I slightly touch it I turn the phone off in the middle of texting! I am so over Sprint. I have been with them since 2001 but I really think it is time to move on. I'm really disappointed with Sprint and their line up of phones.

You have to optimize your phone by flashing to a better than stock ROM.
Many at PPC Geeks. My favorite is the Mighty ROM 6 Final. -
Dealing with the lag...I was optimiZing my phone last night and there are numerous of programs you can do to tweak the cache files and little things like that. Just be careful when you use it or you can really screw it up. I changed some of the mini settings of the phone internally and it speed the phone up like 2 times faster just by the tweaks. It is based off of Windows, so it can really be tweaked just as a regular desktop computer.
The other thing is that people complaine about the damn phoen being too thick... well if that is such a bother you should have go the Motorola Razar...but these guys don't realize that having a fullsize keyboard takes space...It is just unbelievable for people to be complaining about it.
