Looks good. i was looking at that phone as a replacement for my father -in-laws Mogul. I got him the Mogul last year to replace his Treo that was falling apart. But he is really having a hard time learning to use it.

How in the world did you manage that? You truly are a stud, Mal.

Nice write-up Mal. I'm sure some of us would be willing to "liberate" that phone from you when you're done playing with it.

And hey...get rid of those annoying pop-ups at WME...nomesayin'!

late,
Coz

EDIT: what's real-world battery life like...and how's the keyboard?

lol, re: pop ups...I have no control over that, but if you use Firefox there some easy tricks to prevent that

re: battery life, still testing and will do some "stress tests" this weekend, but so far, so good. I mean, a 1500mah battery is a nice boost from 1150mah

re: keyboard, I liked the Centro so I'm more tolerant of the Pro's which is nearly the same but wider spaced. It's not as good as the 800w's (arguably the best Treo KB ever), but I find it okay. Really, it'll come to personal preference.

Honestly? I walked into a Best Buy and bought one for $760. I have 30 days to return, which I surely will at that price, lol.

Some other thought: call quality is very good and it has TRUE MMS on it, meaning pics and vids are inline with the message. It's a new ArcSoft app on their and it's truly impressive.

I didn't realize Best Buy was actually selling them yet. I knew they had them but thought they had to hold on to them until the launch was official. Yeah, I'd be returning it too for that price.

Can't wait to see a demo or pics of this new MMS. How long have we been waiting for this on Sprint???

Any way to rip and post the Arcsoft app for us?

[Malatesta]

Will work on a ROM dump today for Ebag, who may be able to rip ArcSoft out.

Will also try to get some pics of the MMS system later for you guys

btw, yeah BB is not suppose to sell them but not everyone gets/heeds those memos, lol

[InvincibleLiving]

Flash and IE6

As people probably know, this is the first phone to have IE6 built in with flash support. It even comes with YouTube as a link/favorite.

So how's it work? Very well. You just go to YouTube and the flash player is there with on screen controls. Quality is quite good and very usable. I'm actually kinda impressed.

I'll be doing an in depth write up on IE6 for WME later on, but here are 2 shots of YouTube running flash right in the browser (full screen mode).
