I keep hearing this same statement every time a new WM phone comes out... every single comment when the HD2 came out in November was "w0w, this thang is teh awesome, just slap Android on to it and I'm totally thar."

Guess what, I've been enjoying my 4.3 inches of goodness since November while you guys are still in a huff that HTC chose WM for it instead of Android. And where's the Android version of the HD2? Oh, it's still only a rumour.

Face it, 'buddy', there's a reason why WM continues to get nice hardware and that's because it's still a very viable choice for many consumers.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 4:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/

I mean look at that ugly option bar at the bottom. The options are not even symmetrically laid out. The colors are ugly also. It doesn't even go with the rest of the OS UI.

Winmo 7 better be something really good, I mean revolutionary good because Im about to hop back on over to the Android wagon.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/
Have you tried 6.5.x? Because going from 6.5 to 6.5.x takes the finger friendliness to another level. For an interim release before WinMo7, it works quite well. While it may not compete toe to toe with the iPhone and the like, 6.5.x isn't meant to. For such a radical UI change from the WinMo norm in such a short time frame, I'd say MS is doing a decent job. They've still got a looooong way to go though, and I expect much much more out of them for WinMo7.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/
I'm using WM, have been for years, but their attempts at improving 6.5 are just horrid. The way they've rearranged the top and bottom menu bars makes no sense, and looks really really bad aesthetically speaking.

And there is nothing wrong with 6.5.0 and finger-friendliness. On a capacitive screen device like the HD2, and with some obvious additions there is absolutely no need for a stylus... that's why the HD2 doesn't even ship with one. Even programs that were written back in the mid-2000s before Apple came spoiled the stylus fun for us all somehow work well enough on the HD2 even though it's moved on to capacitive input.

I really wish Microsoft had not bothered to tart up the old stuff and focused more on WM7. What's worse is that they're going to sell this alongside WM7, which I think is going to continue to put some people off the Windows Mobile camp altogether.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 4:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/Feb 2nd 2010 4:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/Feb 2nd 2010 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/Feb 2nd 2010 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/agree..]]>Feb 2nd 2010 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/Yeah, why not, mine works at any rate. ]]>Feb 2nd 2010 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/Feb 2nd 2010 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/sony-ericsson-aspen-first-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3/

Seriously, even the iPhone has way too much black bezel. Don't mean to sound biased, but the HD2 is an example of efficient design. There is little to no bezel.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 4:24AM
