A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

WM? no thanks!
I'm going to trade in my iPhone for this... NOT!!!
Wow! You sir win the prize for originality and unpredictability!! Also, much respect for reading an article, scrolling down, clicking on "Add Comment", entering your Email and Password, writing a comment and clicking on "add comment" so we can all FINALLY know that you don't like Windows Mobile! You have SO much purpose! THANK YOU.
Imagine a world without iPhone. How would we have reacted to this new phone? We would all probably be as giddy as schoolgirls. This phone would probably be double the price at launch and everyone here would have willingly shelled out the money for it. Isn't competition great?
Imagine there's no iPhone.
It isn't hard to do.
No OS 3.0 or multitouch.
And no App Shop too...
Imagine all the commenters,
Posting about something else.
You may say I'm a whinger.
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us.
And Engaget wont be full of endless iPhone comments no matter what the topic....
T-Mobile 3G is like unicorns. Some people believe it exists, but few actually saw it.
P.S. I wish there was a strong GSM competitor against AT&T. T-Mobile's 3G network is too small. If Verizon was GSM and didn't cripple their phones that would be something.
ok
WM 6.1 seems to enjoy the prestige of a random Linux-based feature phone OS.
I happen to live in a T-mobile 3g coverage area, so I have seen the unicorn!
I like it. Definetely pretty. Just not as gorgeous as my Palm Pre though. =D
After WebOS (aka, my Palm Pre), comes windows mobile, but yea ugly phone.
That is the UGLIEST phone I've ever seen.
your the ugliest poster I've never seen
Thats kinda stockerish
You should really avoid being too sexually attracted to your phones anyway... Based on your previous posts, I'd hate to think what might happen if you happen to be near an iphone with your pants down.
Girls > Phones
Hottest phone in the WURLD no homo.
can we just once get a phone in this form factor other than blackberries with a screen better than QVGA?
Palm used to make those
isn't the upcoming Eos going to fit that description?
Black and red? That sounds more like Verizon colors than T-Mobile, odd.
Hopefully T-Mobile doesn't start adding checkmarks to everything, then we'll have to look out...
Hey man, combine t-mobile's and verizon's high-end featurephones, add in verizon's network awesomeness and t-mobiles experience/service, and we have ourselves an AWESOME network!!!
so im just curious, is there a winmo standard 6.5?
I don't think so, I think there's only a touchscreen version of that one since most (possibly all) of the enhancements are for increased finger-touch friendliness.
I am also drawing this conclusion from the fact that there are no cooked 6.5 roms available for the original Dash over at Xda-Developers, who had 6.1 running on it probably an entire year before it officially released.
Windows mobile FTL. If this phone had Android, I'd approve.
This phone is quite ugly
*shudders*
How about this form factor with Android and higher resolution? I'm holding off on getting a smart phone, all you'd really have to do is release something like this with Android and a 3.5" jack. Goodness knows there's a market, since everyone seems to be buying Blackberries, even with (IMHO) the poor build qualities and the wonky UI.
and its back to the drawing board if the comments are any indication....
This looks pretty good, actually! You get a great keyboard, trackball, WM (6.1 is decent, I think), 3G AND wi-fi, and t-mob! Prettaaay, prettaaay, prettay good.
CHROME WON'T SAVE MY COMMENT REGULARLY PASSWORD THIS IS DRIVING ME CRIZZAY!!!
If you keep using it, it will eventually ask you if you want it to remember your password. It took me about a month for Engadget. It's incredibly annoying.
Just ask Google, they now have all your info anyway.
This phone looks like something that should have been on sale 2-3 years ago -- not a "hot new release" I suppose if it's free with contract it's a better alternative to a dinky non-QWERTY flip phone.
What did they do to the Start menu/task bar? Where's the close button going to be?
Holy shit that phone is ugly
This looks like a perfect upgrade for my T-mobile Dash.
I see nothing wrong with the phone itself , but no way people will choose this over a blackberry , or Nokia, unless it has a low pricepoint
Sexy, I have the current Dash (not so sexy).
That is one ugly piece of shit.
Black and red, seriously?
Could of left the red off the keys. My current dash is all scratched up, To upgrade or not? That is a good question. I think not. Black and red usually is cool but looks nasty on the 3g dash so I say no....P.S. The trackball makes it look like a wanna be blackberry
Looks nice!
Don't like the red, I miss the cool blue LED backlighting that my current Dash has.
unfortunately Tmob is about a year or two behind on refreshing that POS dash. They lost so many customers with that POS. After suffering with one for the longest time... trying different roms to keep it from freezing or coming to a crawl after 3-4 hours of use. The screens turning purple randomly. The list goes on and on so I gave up. Finally when Tmob told me I wouldn't qualify for a G1 at "upgrade" price but she'd cut me a break and let me get one at $395. What a deal!! I just went and got a Iphone for $200. Took my business with me.
I like the design of the older Dash much better. Hopefully this one will come with a 6.5 upgrade and maybe even a Windows Mobile 7 upgrade.
Who'd buy 6.1 now?
another abomination courtesy of htc.
t-mobile tells htc what they want and htc takes the money and makes it
i guess all the touch pros, touch hd's, and touch diamonds are so horrible. who would ever buy an htc, uhh $4.61 billion dollars worth of people dumbass

Just used one today at an htc meeting. I was quite impressed. If you've yet to see the actual interface and how it's used(NOT the normal windows standard mobile) I would refrain from judgement....I mean, unless you want to make fun of the ugly colors over and over like little 12 year old bitch girls.
Could be worse, could be gizmodo where uninformed posters uniformly love apple crapware

ha ha
oh wow
"uninformed posters uniformly love apple crapware"
is correct here too, although sans the 'uniformly'
