how do you feel it performs compared to the hero? does the sense ui on the hero make a huge difference?

I just picked up this phone yesterday, they were out of the Hero... so the lady talked me into this one, and gave me quite the deal.

So far I like this phone. The screen is in fact capacitive.. no, it will not work with a stylus. It FEELS like a glass screen... if its plastic, its damn good.

I think people measure it with their iPhones (like myself), but what you have to do, is let go of that thinking and start looking at the phone for what it is (I know, its hard NOT to compare it). So far, I think its excellent. It looks cheap, but it really doesnt feel cheap, at least to me.

I will have to agree on the looking cheap. It looks like a very nice phone.

I am a BB convert and I have to say that so far the platform feels like it's in it's infancy for the business world where as the BB is a full fledged business warrior.

It is definately a more personal use phone.


It is like a crossover vehicle. Not really just a phone, not really a business phone either.

yeah i got a question about SMS messaging how many characters are you limited to? and hows the interface? is it complicated or is it easy?

[Diviance]

After using it for a while, how do you like the heft/weight of the phone? Does it feel sturdy?

I'm with you on the missed call LED question also. I have the phone and there needs to be an update to correct the missing visual notification.

As long as we are critiqueing (sp?) it, there also needs to be some way of changing the backlight on the keyboard. 5 seconds is definitely too short.

It will keep typing until ur done with the text message and break it down into several text messages for the recipiant if it has too. One of the first features that made me fall in love with android a year ago.

my question about this phone is, has anyone been able to get 1.6 on it?
