winmo phones can play ps1 games and it works with a massive amount of games including ff7 and MGS1. I wonder why that never made the news on engadget.
holy crap . $15 bucks is dirt cheap. considering it's a 3 port USB hub AND an ipod connector.. I'd love to get this.

I use Avid and Premiere Pro (CS4) completely fine. The installation was smooth and everything picked up fast. I really wonder if you are really a professional. As the previous posters have said, you should atleast update your software to the latest version. As a film editor, I am able to run all my necessary programs on 7 without a hitch (and this is on 7 Pro).
I highly suggest you use that tech support team that your company should have...

I see. The things I've said, are as metioned earlier, anecdotes from the sales associates themselves. I think the tilt itself is an interested function, but I was terrified of the fact that a small drop can break it (according to the att guys. keep in mind I did not mention anything about looking for the fuze NOR do they know anything about the fuze's release). but I think it simply might just be negligence due to the user's fault. Good point nonetheless
@name of user
I didn't know that. I also don't know why it's being returned. The tilts were returned because the hinge breaking the phone in half on the smallest impact. That was mainly my arguement. I have not had to get my fuze fixed at any point or time. It worked fine even after falling straight out of my backpack on concrete (it had no protection except for teh screen). I've dropped it plenty more times and everything still works fine.
But yeah, I'm not a fan of the tilt function because it simply makes the phone more vulnerable.
@Peter F
From reviews I have read and from the mouth of many ATT agents, the original tilt had a problem where it becomes much much more vulnerable in tilt mode. When i was thinking of getting either the tilt or wait for the fuze, i asked the guy what people thought of the tilt and he told me that he got alot of insurance replacements on these phones due to its weakness at the tilt. I thought it was an isolated incident in one area, but after going to roughly 5 other stores, they all say the same thing.
I don't think the tilt 2 will improve upon that since the concept is that the more moveable hinges you have on an object, the more vulnerable it will become.

that and I think it's ridiculous to try to type on the phone when it's tilted, unless you want to poke your phone to death. (ofcourse movie viewing is much nicer in a tilt but that's it.)
@MiketheVee
nm. I just read the press release and the projector does cost extra... it's not as interesting as it originally was now...............
probably the stock + att bloatware as usual.Atleast they don't fudge the whole OS like verizon (app nazis) does.
I think at 200 bucks it's great to have a phone AND projector in it.. and also sporting a 1ghz processor.... that's pretty nifty..
Unfortunately I'm enamoured with my HTC Fuze and I wont be switching out the phone until the 3rd generation comes in with either snapdragon or tegra. (and hopefully they'll kill the tilt "function")
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
