My TX touchscreen was much more consistent and responsive.
Took me a while to get used to it on my XV6700. Quick, distinct fingernail taps are your best bet.

5. Also when selecting Ringtones or Wallpaper - there doesn't seem to be a way to have the Ringtones autoplay as I select them to try them out. I have to select it, hit Play, and if I don't like it, have to drop down the list, try another, rinse and repeat.
This is one of many reasons to keep the Touchflo interface. Instead of using the WM sound setting menu, slide over to the Touchflo Settings tab, tap Sound, scroll down to Ringtones, tap one at a time to play.

I actually really prefer Touchflo to just about anything else, including Mobile Shell. While some settings can require quite a few taps to get to, most things are pretty easily accessed, and it's a hell of a lot more elegant than the old Win9x style start menu that WM still ships with. It took me a few days to get used to the slider, but pretty quickly you'll find that you can get around it blindfolded. I really miss the program tab though. Got used to it being at the end of the slider, now I have to remember to push a button to get there. Really don't miss hardware buttons at all.

This is the first PC phone I've had where I didn't have to hack anything just to make it usable. That said, I've done a few mods to it just to make it 5% closer to perfect. My main gripe now is that it takes no fewer than 8 taps to toggle bluetooth off and back on just so my headset doesn't stay connected after every call. Why doesn't this just time out?
