After A Few Hours

[Mustang46L]

Ok, so here we go. I just got done installing all my apps and she is ready for the real world. First off I would like to say that I was GREATLY surprised at how small this phone was. I love the size, it is great.

Also, btw I haven't used BT yet at all. Battery life "seems" better than the Mogul, but I won't be able to tell until tomorrow for sure since I didn't use it from 12-9 today w/ no contacts or anything. But it is 11pm now and it is still at 40% so.. we'll see.


Pros:
70mb free memory!!
X-Button pre-installed
Sprint TV (working as of Nov 3)
HTC Photo Album
Slingbox works great
Touchflo is great.
The keyboard is FLUSH with the unit finally!
Flash 7 and Opera Mini work amazingly on this unit
You can have calltones
Instant Messenger built in

Cons:
No hard button for start menu.
Slide up/down instead of wheel/ok button.
Threaded SMS works, but every time you launch it MMS runs first, then SMS. Kinda a pain, but worth it.
Getting used to the keyboard -> miss the Mogul keyboard.
Skype not working (might have installed the wrong version)
Take battery door off to get to microSD card
No flash (no flashlight)
No infared



Overall I'm happy with my choice to drop the Mogul for this. I'll miss the keyboard but I won't miss the bulkiness. This is a great device if you aren't typing emails all day and aren't looking for an enterprise phone. This phone is made for consumers that are tech savvy and it shows!

thanks...keep us updated. I'm particularly interested in battery life with the programs you're running.

as I would be lost w/out a flashlight there is an alternative - and as a side benefit it works as a signal, say when your ina crowd and trying to get someones attention...

It's of course free, it's flashlamp, I beleive I uploaded a cab to the ftp a while ago, I would up it to this post, but I'm posting from my apache and well, you know the site can't do mobile now soooo.... I tink I got it from ppcfreeware.com

anyway I think you'll like it.

Oh, I have a flashlight app, it is great. The issue is that the Touch doesn't have a flash built in, so nothing for the flashlight app to turn on. Shame.

[SINNN]

Mustang, take some pictures with the Touch camera. I wanna see the quality. And its not Auto focus right?

[nuguy]

I understood you, flashlamp uses the screen - trust me now, find it and try it, you'll like it. Not as much as having a flash, but when you need a flashlight, you will thank me...

Doesnt the screen protector cover all the border around the screen or just the screen?

[nemanracing]

Try this one...

[Ya Boi D]

Is anyone experiencing any issues with the Touchflo after the screen protector is applied such as the upward motion to launch the cube from the today screen? Its just not responding the same way after its applied.

What do you mean MMS runs first when you launch threaded SMS?
