I am waiting for new or knockoff battery too. I surf and use YouTube too much but only need to recharge once per day.

Update your software as there are definitely issues with some base ROMs.

But there are way more video file sharing flash sites out there that I want to view (not just YouTube), but will need to install hack/software to view.

This phone is not user friendly!

Cons:-
Very low sound.
Speaker sound very quiet & sound quality very rubbish.
Touch screen is not accurate nor sensitive.
Function difficult to use & slow.
Battery last only very short time.

This phone has got too many faults...HTC should do more experiment before putting this phone on the market!

Just Bought The Phone Yesterday..

Good Things:

1)Great cover
2)Light Weight
3)Looks Futuristic ;p
4)Anybody who sees it goes WOW!
5)THATS IT!!

Bad Things:
1) HTC worked so hard to satisfy us, a little too hard. The Phone has so many things its hard to manage through them.

2)Sending SMS Messages are like MSN messenger. Its like..

Me(12:00 AM): How are you?
John:(01:00 PM): Im Good.

3) VERY SLOW sometimes! like when i say sometimes i mean once in every 30 minutes

4) The sound is RUBBISSHH!!! very low and disgusting quality!!!!

5)Since sound sucks, there is no use to listen to music unless you stick the phone to ur ear or use headphones.

6)Saving a contacts name takes tooo long! there is just so much to manage through!!
Name:
Job:
Wife: ??
Children:??

Why do u wanna know all this info??


CONCLUSION: Dont buy the phone unless youre an unorganized businessman..this phone isnt for fun even though it looks fun! its just a great organizer!

Very smart looking phone with great features. However, the battery life is poor & you need to recharge it 2-3 times a day if you are a business user.
No physical keyboard so the cost is on the higher side right now. But tremendous design & looks really elegant.

Cuz that's not LED. That's light sensor.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-07-07 18:23 from TR{kYeah i thought about waiting for Diamond Pro (same level as SE Xperia) but it will probably cost ~$900-$1000+ USD!!!

I paid $700USD for Diamond already and that is a lot... but if you can afford X1 or Pro...

> In reply to n7tran @ 2008-07-07 03:52 from q{R2If you look back in blog history, I have posted 2 rather long personal review of this phone a while back. I'm using T-mobile Network in California and it works fine. Edge works fine, but don't expect 3G connection. I have the unlimited internet plan with T-mobile in order to use Edge.
