I laugh every time I see someone write a review that says "I'm writing a review on the phone and not the carrier".  I want everyone to understand that it in most cases that would be the only way to do it.  Unfortunately in this case the carrier effects the phones software so dramatically that it serious changes the dynamics of the whole phone.


I bought this phone way back in November and it has been over all a solid phone.  I have used little tweaks to help the Verizon crippling software.  It wasn't until just a week ago that I installed a new custom ROM (SSK 1.5).


Now I feel I can give the phone and not the carrier the review it deserves!


Plain and simple this phone is AWESOME now that the so called carrier's crap is no longer plaguing the phones performance.  The only thing I couldnt change was Verizon's idea to reduce the RAM from 288 to 192.

Well im rating the phone, not by the carrier BUT THE PHONE. the phone is really coo. At times it will lag up..... but what windows device doesnt!!! the battery life could be better.... But having as many phones as i have, the Pro is really good. The Flow is sick, and the camera and its feats are awsome. and putting opera on it was great.. And the motion runs great.. That teeter game is sick... and that means you can put a lot more motion games on there......BECAUSE it is a windows device you can do a lot more then some people have been posting... there are plenty hacks and feats you can add to it... Do a lil research before you go wrighting off the PHONE... you can do a lot! Yes verizon wants its money.. but they cant catch everything and figure out how to block it all!!! So dont rate the phone low cause the company its on... this is not a company review, its a phone review.

Why does Verizon feel such a deep need to strip features out of manufactures phones? Verizon reduced the RAM from 288 to 192.  People who don't own the phone might not think this is a big deal but it is.  Touch Flo is great but it needs every ounce of juice the phone has to run smoothly.  It is mind boggling that Verizon would cripple the phone further when 288 isn't enough.  Its like putting a 4 cylinder in a Ferrari or only being restricted to driving it in a parking garage.  Verizon is also the only company to lock the GPS.  I called to talk to a service representative to see if there was a way to turn it on.  They said that they couldn't do that for me but would gladly give me one month free for VZ Navigator.  So then it made sense. HTC designed a feature that works great with Google maps but Verizon cant make money off that. So what do they do? LOCK IT! Verizon now makes it mandatory for you to get their data plan and I'm OK with that. But they then make you pay another 10 dollars on top of that for their beloved VZ Navigator. I was upset with that. I have read a lot about how well HTC designed their YouTube player. I was really excited to put my 30 dollar data plan to some good use.  I figured if I cant use Google maps with my data plan then maybe I could mess around on YouTube.  You are not going to believe this but they took that away from the phone too.  My friend had a Sprint Touch Pro and should me his as he laughed at me.  I was looking for the included case that HTC provides and it was also missing.  I went to the Verizon store to yes spend more money for a case that HTC normally gives you.  Verizon doesn't have a case yet for it.  By this point I'm really impressed.  I did remember my friends Sprint Touch Pro had some included head phones that would pick up FM signals.  Yes you guessed it. Verizon took this too.  Well I thought all is not lost because surely the phone cost less with all these features missing.  You guessed it once again.  The Sprint Touch Pro was less money!  But hey, I have the network! LOL!!
