hmm where do i even begin.........

This phone is actually not bad from a hardware standpoint, its fingerprint resistant (rubberized coating) with a responsive touch screen.

-CPU is very fast, never hangs up or goes jittery, all the animations are very smooth

-the keyboard has good feed back, you know for sure if a key is pressed or not, though it feels kind of cheap, as

-long as it holds up to my crazy texting for 2 years ill be happy.

-shift and function keys just piss me off, they are not in a very convenient location nor are they easy to find in

the dark, they don't illuminate, which leads me to my next point.

-the keyboard is not evenly lit, the right side has some buttons half dark however... with keys that require the function button to be pressed, you can also press and hold the button to use the special character like onscreen HTC keyboards

-the camera sucks, but then again i think all cell phone cmos cameras are junk. i also cant turn off the freaking camera sound, its so loud and annoying.

okay now to the software... here we go

we'll begin with the things that are right...

-animations are super smooth and very aesthetically pleasing, i would even venture to say its better than android and the iphone animations

-maps is amazingly fast and fluid, when you zoom into the max position it will auto change to sat view

-app store isnt bad, lots of cool free apps already (only time will fix this properly)

Onto the bad......

so many things are missing from the basic OS itself its ridiculous! its unusable out of the box..

- battery %, please dont use a retarded batter icon that doesn't tell me anything, not even the iphone is this crippled

- cant connect to hidden networks, this make the device totally useless as alot of companies choose to hide the SSID, i dont CARE if it doesn't add another layer of security, you hide it so guests connect to the public shown SSID and employees connect to the hidden.

- cant connect to exchange, this is completely unacceptable, i cannot type in a space on this device to connect, alot of companies use First Space Last as the user name for simplicity, short names or garbled user names dont identify a user as easily. when setting up your exchange connectivity, space is disabled.

- after getting the network admin to change my user name (ridiculous, i really shouldn't have to do that), i got connected only to find i cant sync text messages or Tasks, now this phone is as useless as android and the iphone. i have a ton of info in tasks that i need, and the SMS sync was for ease of use, in outlook 2010 i can send and receive text msgs right from the email window so i dont have to take my phone out.

- no file browser, we arent retarded apple users, why is this missing?

- bluetooth is completely crippled like the iphone, windows mobile 5 had more functionality! (cant send files, cant receive anything, cant do ****)

- proprietary drivers, wtf is this? again, crippled like the iphone doesnt show up as a removable drive, i cant access this phone on other computers (android and WM6.5 asks you if you want to charge, show up as flash drive, act as modem, etc)

as it stands now, i cant replace my sony X1 with this trash, basic functionality is GONE, i guess we can thank apple for making everyone retarded. this OS was obviously WAAAY too rushed.
