Silver is my choice so both will do in case of case color...]]>Mar 11th 2006 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 11th 2006 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/JogDials are just the most versatile thumb-driven navigation device.

i tried a prophet last night a a T-Mo store here in SF and it seemed like the chicklet-membrane keys are pretty lame.

here's to hoping that the vario2's have more play and a bit less resistance.

Very frustrating. My friend in India is a proud owner of nokia N91 for the past 2 months. Nokia N91 in US????

God knows when!!!!!!!!!!]]>Mar 11th 2006 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/
Otherwise, let's see...HORRIBLE power button placement! Faster processor, nice. HSDPA or UTMS or whatever support doesn't really matter for us US users. Video conferencing camera...meh. So those are the major differences. I'm not feeling too much buyer's remorse for getting my MDA (except for the jogdial). :)]]>Mar 11th 2006 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 11th 2006 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 11th 2006 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 11th 2006 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 11th 2006 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/
e.g. ok they look differnt but how do they FUNCTION differntly. THey both have windows mobile I'm guessing.

And once again, what do you end up using win mobile for that you don't get from a lappy or normal cheap phone? (Honestly asking out of naiveness).]]>Mar 11th 2006 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/

I use the HP 6315 with T-MO. I can surf the web anywhere, check my email, stream live TV (or watch previously recorded or other videos for that matter) using ORB and MCE which is on my home PC, as well as all of the other things I can do like play games, read ebooks, use calendar, tasking, read PDFs, Excel, Word docs, print out using IR, listen to MP3's, watch converted DVDs. There's more, but it is really cool to do all of that with such a small device (and use it as a cell phone :))]]>Mar 11th 2006 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 12th 2006 5:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 12th 2006 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 12th 2006 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 12th 2006 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/

I guess you can do a lot.

Does that mean people expect more from you or does it just mean that you have the convience to do things when you want? Personally I'd rather do all that on a much larger screen, so to me it's not that interesting. If I could ditch my phone and just use my Ipod to make calls I'd be happy to have more space in my pocket. That aside I don't really feel the "hole" in my lifestyle needs that phone tech is trying to fill. (although I must say I love having a camera on my phone and which it was better, so maybe I'm living in ignorance *shrug*).
I drive my commute, sit infront of a laptop, come home, sit in front of a laptop. No time when I'm way from a computer long enough to need to break out excel on my phone.
To me it seems more of a status symbol then anything else.
I'll wait for more important functions I guess.]]>Mar 13th 2006 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 13th 2006 12:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/I enjoyed reading your Excel comment-made me laugh. My PPC isn't a necessity, but it is a fun toy. I really do use it when standing in long lines--to read, etc. I've also used it on road trips to look up maps or other info on the web. I've been at conferences and used it to IM and email colleagues, as well as check my work and Hotmail accts. On my commute, I sometimes stream CNN in the car, with the sound coming thru the car speakers. I'm a TV junkie, and sometimes watch a pre-recorded TV program like Desperate Housewives or Lost during lunch. I'll put on my bluetooth ear piece and listen to music at work.
Sorry, I do go on and on. I would be devistated if I lost it.
I don't know about it being a status symbol. I'm not really into that sort of stuff.

If you could have an ideal device, what would it do for you?]]>Mar 14th 2006 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 14th 2006 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Mar 14th 2006 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/THanks in advance]]>Mar 27th 2006 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-prophet/Is this true?
