Can you tell me more about the WMobile community? Maybe a few links? Because the HD2 is also my favorite right nowZhuk said:Android just keeps getting better and better! would have gone with a Droid but nothing beats the WMobile community and the HD2 is the most amazing mobile i've ever seen...

It's not a WM thread but...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/
It's a forum for development on all HTC devices, it's definitely the largest out there but other forums exists for different brands.
A very good source for WM related news is http://pocketnow.com/. They even post what's updated in new WM builds which happens like once or twice per month.
But with the speed of Android development, I wouldn't wager my bets on WM now unless you really don't care for anything else other than basic functionality.
While we're on that, is there anything out there that even comes close to OneNote? OneNote mobile sync'ing is awesome and OneNote is more than just than a note taking application, I pretty much use it to compile data on anything I work on. Plus Office 2010 Mobile is looking nice.

Check out sites like XDA Developers and see what people in the winmo community are doing with roms and apps, what I like the most is that the community supports a huge amount of phones and if the manufacturer doesnt release updates for your phone these guys will, with the latest builds, apps and they will look better and run faster than what you'll get from the phone manufacturer or service provider anyway.
Anyways, I don't wanna junk up the Android thread with winmo stuff, because I think Android is awesome and has massive potential
but maybe once my HD2 arrives in the mail I might get a WinMo hardware thread going

Wow, is it me or is there a lot of interface lag?

Lags slightly less than my iPhone; and has a keyboard.
Very close to sold come next month.
Need to sync my contacts with Google so I can seamlessly transition.

Yeah, the interface didn't seem very responsive. I can only assume that the OS/firmware still has a few bugs to be ironed out
(That, or the Droid's rumoured specs are a work of fiction. Arm11 434mhz incoming!!)

Engadget's initial impressions are pretty glowing. They expect to have a full review up soon.

No. I just pay per minute. But I hardly ever call people. Twitter/Facebook/e-mail is the way to go. I might call someone, maybe once or twice a week, so in the end it'll cost me maybe $3 extra / month. A Bit OT this though.
But I'm really interested in Rachael/X10 or whatever it will be called. If it's good enough I'm gonna replace my iPhone.

$200? Free turn-by-turn directions? Out next week?
This day is turning out to be a great one already.

A magnet triggers the mode change, from BGR's impressions.
At $200 this thing absolutely destroys the MyTouch (when it launched) and even the Cliq. Heck, it demolishes everything at that price. So happy to see my fears of an overly-expensive price weren't justified this time.
According to the Motodev spec page this thing can record 480p (720 x 480) video at 24fps. Very very nice.
Just saw the info on Google Maps Navigation. Holy goddamn.
Totakeke said:
Wow, really sluggish. The only touch screen phone that I've fully tried is the iPhone, which has a bit of lag, but I would've thought that interface lag wouldn't exist, or it would be really reduced. I mean, when he opens that menu from the bottom it really, really lags. That sucks, total dealbraker.
I mean, the HD2 seems to do a good job on that subject.
BlueMagic said:
Engadget has a video from the event. They do mention homescreen lag but it's much better than on that video, from what I could tell anyway. I think the phone on that video is still unoptimized since it's a GSM rather than CDMA and probably still early.
