I dont see where all this talk of HTC abandoning WinMo has come from. They are a dual OS manufacturer and there is talk of them creating a feature phone using a simple touchflo OS.

Have I missed something?]]>Sep 8th 2009 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 7:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/
Uh, you're wondering if the processor can handle Sense UI because the Tattoo isn't a flagship phone?

You realize HTC has been using the same Qualcomm 528MHZ processor in all of their phones since early 2008's Diamond, right?]]>Sep 8th 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/_]]>Sep 8th 2009 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/

That said, avoid this thing like the plague. The fact that it's going to be out there means support will be coming, but right out of the gate you're going to find it incompatible with at least half the apps in the market because nobody ever bothered to test anything under QVGA.

A year down the road after this thing has been out for the while, then a QVGA Android phone might be worth looking at if you're in the market for a bargain smartphone. For now, stay away.]]>Sep 8th 2009 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 3:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 3:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 3:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 3:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/
But now we have to ask: WTF is up with that fugly CDMA so-called "Hero"? What a design failure. They got rid of the chin, yes, but then made it look like some kind of early-'90s Lexus, black with gold trim. A flat version of the white Hero would have been a huge win. Once again, we see an inexplicable screwing of the large CDMA market in the U.S. WAKE UP, manufacturers.

It's extremely boring hearing about one GSM phone after another. It really doesn't make a damn bit of difference in the U.S., where the GSM providers (and coverage) suck the big wad.]]>Sep 8th 2009 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 5:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/
Maybe if you spend a lot of time out in the middle of nowhere. I have T-Mobile, who probably has the worst GSM coverage map around, and I have never once in my life found myself without coverage. They've got cities and suburbs covered, as well as all major highways, that gets the job done 99% of the time.]]>Sep 8th 2009 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.htc.com/www/product/tattoo/overview.html]]>Sep 8th 2009 3:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/

In contrast, neither the iPhone, Pre or Blackberries suffer from this problem. All these 3 makers have the advantage of tightly integrating their software to their hardware and deliver solutions not easily or quickly replicable otherwise.]]>Sep 8th 2009 4:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 4:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/Sep 8th 2009 4:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/
I have a whole bunch of live widgets running and it doesn't skip a beat.

To be honest the only thing HTC really need to do to make their phones the best on the market is to add a decent camera with a good flash.
