Wow.

That's my first impression.

Just went to the sprint store to see this thing. I have a 6700 whose mini-USB port has stopped syncing/charging so needing to get a new phone. Been reading about the touch and how tiny it was and just thought it wasn't possible. Hell, I was hearing people compare it to a closed razor or a blackjack.

I was wrong.

The thing is TINY and light. Easily pocketable. I feel like i'd be doing it a disservice if I get one and ever use it in a side holster. The touch flow interface was nice, and the machine was very responsive. Not a bad screen either...

I found that finger scrolling didn't work well for me. I'd flick and it'd almost instantly go to the bottom or the top of the screen...but I figure this may be due to a setting that could get changed?

Typing with the two letter per key keyboard is going to take some getting used to I think, but I definitely want this phone

is there any t9 keyboards available? i know im in the minority, but i much prefer t9 to qwerty. i havent used a xt9/suretype keypad enough to know that i dont like it, but if i could get a t9 keypad it would be perfect

I have a quick question. The surface of the touch screen, what does it feel like?

It just bothers me when people are rude and have no idea what they are talking about. That attitude was completely unnecessary.

I applied the screen protector before even charging the device, I know other users played with the device and applied it later.

The screen feels a little harder than the Mogul's. I actually thought I was doing something wrong becuase finger-scrolling was not working well for me, but it ended up being me and not wanting to press to hard being afraid that the screen would crack.

It's definately harder than the Mogul's.

I also love how there are no edges like on the Mogul, the whole screen surface is flat. That was a problem I had with the Mogul and Touchpal, my finger would hit the plastic border when using the letters on the edge.

Thank you very much for the quick response with the info!

Pibe38 ftw.

So yeah... has anyone found any new issues not present on the Mogul or has HTC plugged up most of the holes without making new ones?

I really do love that device. Can't wait to get it in my hands. It absolutely blew me away how smooth the Touch cube is and looking in the memory and seeing more than 31MB free (the most I've ever seen on my Mogul) made me almost start drooling. I'm also quite pleased that the lights are TINY now instead of those huge gawdy things that flash in the night.

I'm just hoping they've fixed the issues that plagued the Mogul WITHOUT making new ones.
