Windows Mobile just sucks *too* darned much... and the reception on this phone is terrible. <BR/><BR/>A shame. It's a nice concept, but a combination of Windows suckitude and HTC (the manufacturer) ineptness just eventually irritated me to the point of slamming it to the wall as hard as I could and laughing when it finally disintegrated.<BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Treo PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-1160954237864554052006-10-15T16:17:00.000-07:002006-10-15T16:17:00.000-07:00DON'T GET THIS PHONE... horrible.. just horrible....DON'T GET THIS PHONE... horrible.. just horrible.. the touch screen dialing is horrible cause if you don't hit it just write you hit the wrong numbers.. loading and taking pictures with the camera is just a complete jackoff. while it loads up.. there's too much of a pause when actually snapping the photo. I attempted to load a few programs on there.. i loaded up photocontacts that worked pretty decent but loaded up another program.. i think pocketbreeze or something for themes and whatnot and it ran like an old 333mhz computer chocked full of crap. i immediately took that program off.. since then i haven't loaded any thing up. Another problem is reception (that deserves a completely different topic in itself) .. the internet! blah.. charging 29.99 for their so called hotspot and gprs is a joke. I've never actually surfed the internet from this joke of a pda. (again, another topic in itself).. but my biggest complaint about this this phone is.. (for the player that I am) It does something called... FATHOM DIALING... meaning if you don't lock this phone.. and put it in your pocket or purse, it will call just about anyone that the touch screen happens to land on. my (NOW) EX-girlfriend got about 7 and 1/2 minutes of me partying out with my friends acting very un-boyfriend like.. (not that I care anymore) but the simple fact that it left a voicemail on her phone while I was out having a good time made me really uncomfortable.. in all and all.. this is a horrible phone.. shame to t-mobile for selling this product.. if i wasn't trapped in it, I wouldn't get another phone by them.. they actually gave me a t509 for my troubles free just so I could really make a phone call and feel safe .. right now, my mda is for SOLITAIRE and some text messaging... it's a shame i have to have another phone just to make a %$^% phone call.. don't EVER get this product.. you WILL be sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-1160068958216372852006-10-05T10:22:00.000-07:002006-10-05T10:22:00.000-07:00I have had horrible issues with this phone as well...I have had horrible issues with this phone as well. It's impossible to use while driving as always it requires 2 hands, the phone reception sucks, and it doesn't even use a standard headphone jack to take advantage of the touted mp3 player capabilities. I can't believe T-mobile is charging $200 for this phone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-1154647634313046472006-08-03T16:27:00.000-07:002006-08-03T16:27:00.000-07:00I made a huge mistake getting this phone.

With the Windows Mobile OS everything takes longer and any program you open is still running even after you close it. It takes a 7 steps process to really turn it off. This thing hogs memory like no other device I have seen. It does not work well as a phone either. You can not hear people very well outside and it takes 2 hands to operate this thing. T-Mobile should be ashamed that it sells this as their premier phone. It has made me not want to ever use Windows Mobile or T-Mobile again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-1144896296901084412006-04-12T19:44:00.000-07:002006-04-12T19:44:00.000-07:00Complain about the poor reception.

I think they had a bad batch of them from the factory because the rep did not seem shocked that we had one with a bad antenna.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-1144270458142766732006-04-05T13:54:00.000-07:002006-04-05T13:54:00.000-07:00Waaaaait just a second here!
