Well he works for apple so I would imagine he would get some frre right? Then he tries out doing my phone. He ran all sorts of speed tests, with scrolling, they were about the same speeds give or take. When I told him his phone was basically made for the common idiot who couldn't even fathom navigation on a PPC, he decided to pull out the 'ore apps than you crap'. But he didn't, he was astonished that I can listen to XM Radio on my TP, and watch live streaming video (not like the iphone downloaded video, but the 'LIVE' streaming video0 with no lag... Yes people, he was a true idiot...
LOL

but wait. here comes the touch pro 2, then is over.
eh, TP2 will still have a plastic screen.
I want the glass one already so I don't have to deal with scratches or screen protector!

as far as the touch pro goes, it's easily the best windows mobile device i've used (thanks to touchflo 3D, but i just hate when it goes into windows after that). as far as reliability is concerned, thats a whole other issue entirely (5 broken touch pros - most unreliable phone ive ever owned). the problem, quite honestly, is windows mobile. ive been using winmo since microsoft released pocketpc 2000, and while that was awesome, today, the software just needs to get revamped, period. 6.5 is essentially a GUI update, with no real major changes under the hood. that being said, hopefully winmo7 brings some much needed freshness to the table.
Keyboard is HTC's fault.
The other Windows after TF3d will be solved with TF3d 2.5,
it basically covers 99% of windows screens.
which is being worked on now,
and the bugs are being worked out before they release it.

But other than that it's not much more than a video ipod with phone built in.
zoom features arent all that cool.
they're semi cool, but I like alot of my zoom features. lol.
but multitouch will be here with WM7.
hopefully they start using glass screens though, as that is really a huge factor to me and is quite annoying to have to deal with the plastic scratch-with-anything-touching-me-so-you-have-to-buy-screen-protectors-or-letyour-screen-go-to-crap-so-you-cant-see-anything-screens-that-we-have.
