ive currently got a htc touch pro - if the hd2 is anything like this phone (it does look kinda similar in terms of the software at least), i personally wont touch it.

firstly its got a capacitive screen (great for inaccurate repeated frustrating jabbing, not so great for controlled accurate interaction (and i have long nails ) - IMO!).

secondly its got no hardware keyboard - this just compounds the first let down above. to me the hd2 is an iphone wannabe, which is the very last thing in the world i would support by wasting money on.

the software on my touch pro is rubbish - even with all the latest and greatest roms and all the free stuff from all the great chefs (thanks girls n guys!). i think the problem is the os mostly (max of 32mb ram per process, with a max of 32 processes (iirc) - a memory model straight out of 1971?).

but if you have ever had a look at the internals of touch flo you'll see what a horrific mess the software really is (IMO!) - maybe this new sense ui has had a code base clean up but i would be very surprised if the quality has improved much...

either way, im utterly done with windows mobile. im sick of the hangs and pauses which almost always happen at the times when i really need to use the device quickly and i end up having to wait for it to wake up and faff around. EXTREMELY frustrating.

hmm i didn't want this to be a rant oh well there you go - i felt compulsed!
