Yes, he did gloss over the fact that text input in WM 6.x sucks big, fat, hairy Johnson. I did a review of the Touch (Elf) vs. the BlackBerry vs. the iPhone from the perspective of a business device last month and that was my biggest complaint about the Touch was the fact that the text input makes it almost useless as a Blackberry replacement.
If anyone tells you they can input text faster on an HTC Touch than a BlackBerry, they're a liar. I'm looking to get rid of my Touch ASAP. It's a piece of junk.
This review also neglects to mention how often the software crashes, often cutting you off in the middle of a call.
I just got an HP w2207h and it's now sitting next to my year-old ViewSonic VA1903wb. I thought the Viewsonic was a good monitor but compared to the HP, the Viewsonic looks like hot buttered dog sh*t.
The HP is 3" bigger but the screen is cleared, the colors are richer and it has some nice features that the Viewsonic doesn't like HDMI input, built in sound, a built-in USB hub, panoramic or potrait orientation (although it doesn't adjust automatically - you have to adjust the rotation with your video driver).
I can't say enough good things about this monitor. The Viewsonic I wouldn't recommend in comparison.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
