Re: 3+ weeks w/ the pre (vs sprint touch pro)

I just personally dont see how anyone could think Webos isnt better than Winmo. Ive been on Winmo devices for years now and done every tweak in the book to get the phone to my standards but when I had the pro it seemed that you had to disable the nice GUI to get a smooth experience or you had to have a jerky and slowly bogged down phone to not have to click 50 buttons to do something simple.


Winmo 6.5 was a good upgrade for me but I still saw it as winmo5 with a nice GUI on it.



What annoyed me the most was the amount of time it took to do the simplest of things. It would take nearly 30 seconds just to boot up the camera app and take a shot, with my pre it takes no more than 10. To search for something on PIE or opera would take more than a minute, the ability to just open the pre keyboard and type whatever im looking for and click GOOGLE or WIKIPEDIA is more awesome than I can explain.

For example, my brother asks me who the QB for Tampa was and the name had slipped my mind so I just slid the keyboard up and typed QB FOR TAMPA BAY and clicked google and what do I see? BYRON LEFTWICH on the first screen. That would have taken me a minute or more to do on WM.


I just see that even if they are IMPROVING winmo its too little too late, ive been waiting for years to find a phone that works this well and this fast without having to shell out $80 a month.
