Re: Many users here?
I carry a tilt. I like it, end to end.
My only complaints:
400MHz processor - underpowered
Not enough ram.
Missing alt, ctrl, home, and end keys.
But I can modify the snot out of the thing, and that makes up for a lot. So does WiFi, 3g AND GPS; with nothing locked out by AT&T.

Nonsense - it's just the *&^%$ Windows Mobile Pro and its laughably stupid, inefficient crappy architecture. quote:
Not enough ram.
See above. Windows Mobile sucks when it comes to resource management, period. quote:

I agree. I have a HTC Hermes (retail w/ front 2nd camera etc.) and I still use it with custom ROMs and it's a terrific device - too bad there's no Android for this.
I enjoy the zillions of apps and mods available for Windows Mobile.
BUT! I also HATE the stuttering, the instability, the "signature" slowdowns of EVERY Windows Mobile OS (WM Pro 6.1 still sucks big time) and while I admire the otherwise dumb, crippled OS(X) of iTard phones for being very snappy, I have to say G1's Android is so far the best of both worlds out there: VERY SNAPPY (easily on-pair with iTard) UI, excellent resource management, now with the dev version out there you can load ANY app, sleek design etc.
What still holds me back is the lack of stereo BT (A2DP) and the 2-year contract (retail price is a joke).
For Apple Android's arrival is very bad news - iTard just started making a dent on the world market then a free, very-well thought out, just as snappy open-source OS arrives, giving HTC, Samsung and all ther smartphone makers an entire platform for nothing, essentially reducing Apple'sadvantage over Windows Mobile (or Symbian, for that record) in OS features to zero...
Dunno but the increased competition in the Android camp will put a heavy downward pressure on the prices in 2009 and Apple will have to not only fix iTard's ridiculous problems very quickly but also start selling it in retail for a lot less otherwise they will quickly become just-another-phone, similarly like desktop Macs recently became almost irrelevant on the market (see latest ~40% drop in Mac desktop sales when PC sales or even Macbook sales numbers are up).

[BQUOTE=[user=bicker]]Waaaa waaaa waaaa. You just want what you want and don't care to factor in what is right or true. Your perspectives are un-American, and deserve far more ridicule than I'm prepared to pile on them.
