Re: just wondering

Its an awesome phone really. It runs many programs simultaneously without a hitch, the TouchFlo3D is silky smooth and responsive.. i love the text message animations. The on-screen keyboards are easy to use and the T9 functions really well in finding the right words. The screen is gorgeous and just a pleasure to look at. The accelerometer is very nifty and responsive as well. Battery life is decent. Doesnt last as long as my 1590mAh batt on my old mogul but lasts the whole day on a charge. The dimensions are that of a Blackberry Pearl, so it feels really good in your hand as a phone.

A few hitches:

The screen is good and doesnt have that squishy feel that all PPCs used to have, but you really have to press down at the edges of the screen. Once you know that its not a problem.

So far the battery life has been sporatic. Sometimes lasting all day, sometimes lasting half the day under the same conditions. Might be the new battery breaking in, only time will tell.

The awesomeness of the TouchFlo3D interface isnt everywhere, and scrolling through WM menus, although made bigger for finger imput, is choppy looking and not as visually pleasant.

The screen is gorgeous at 640x480 but ive encountered programs that dont like the resolution and refuse to format properly.

Overall, id give it 4.5 out of 5
Being a long time WM user, everything on this phone excites me and is very very easy for me to use, but a new user unfamiliar with WM might be confused at the disjointed aspect of the TouchFlo menus and the WM menus.
