Rating  - Sleek, do-it-all-fast-as-hell gadget!!!!
Ok, so this is my first review of any product anywhere but I'm a bit 'inspired' by this gadget. This is my first smartphone, almost my first cell phone and my first tv in about 5 years lol So I jumped right in and honestly have NO regrets...(and i can't stop looking at this gadget lol)
I tried out for a few days the tilt but found the signal strength in my area unacceptable (i couldn't get a signal all day at work)...I also didn't like the 'bugs' on it which seemed to be some 'hangtime' with applications loading/closing and the overall speed of the device for me was lacking (ie tv was choppy, etc)...so a few days later i got lucky on amazon and got the touch and am SOOOOO happy I did. I have NONE of the issues I had with the tilt and the speed is AMAZINGLY fast, tv runs smoothly, get a signal everywhere, etc...
Some PROS as I see them are:
1) Absolutely SLEEK-looking gadget, nice to hold/use
2) Unbelievably fast, tons of great tv channels
3) Customizable as all WM6 phones are, but THIS one has a sweet interface, very user-friendly, seems 'bug-free' to me
4) NO keyboard--to me this is a PRO though i'm sure some will disagree; after using the tilt's keyboard I'm glad it's missing here..don't wanna mess with extra hinges and more parts when I can just type on my choice of 5 or 6 keyboards onscreen!!!
5) Crystal clear calls
6) Comes with a TON of stuff/accessories, beautifully packaged :)
7) Believe it has GPS built in too...
8) Digital camera is quite good; Video camera takes moving video WITHOUT much blurriness, UNLIKE some other phone cams...
8) Did I mention it's pretty? You won't want to put it down.
CONS:
1) No wifi; the phone is so fast though i doubt you'll notice.
2) Does NOT receive Sprints' Universal movie channel.
Bottom line, if you want a gadget that can do just about anything FAST in a GORGEOUS streamlined package, this is the phone for you.
Rating - Great Device
I replaced a Samsung flip phone and a Dell Axim pocket PC with this device. I've had it about 2 weeks now and am still finding new features on it. I now have instant access to my two personal email accounts, work email, & text messaging all on on device.
Windows Mobile 6 is extremely flexible. Out of the box it works fine but if you want to customize it, you have many, many options.
Compared to a straight cell phone, the phone on this device is not as streamlined, but you quickly get used to it. The other features more than make up for it.
I highly recommend this device for anyone looking to condense devices.
Rating  - good, but something ....
I had one, everything is good. but the timer was frozen everyday. once you tried to update your timer/alarm, it stops working, and I have to reset. I called sprint for a replacement, but the new one has the same issue.
Rating - Dont regret the purchase
I am often seeking new toys, electronics that is. And my recent purchase of the touch is something I definately will not be regreting three to six months later when something newer comes out. After doing some research on specs and capabilities on this phone, the I-Phone, Tilt, and some other smartphones that were cheaper but offered similar capabilities, I must say this is the one I would recommend everyone. I've been a long subcriber of Sprint, and was never impressed on how their phones ranked with other service providers, specially since sprint tends to be slightly more expensive than others.
However, after one week of owning this phone I must say that this phone is hands down better than the iphone. I can do much more with this device, and I am able to purchase anything else I might need for whatever I may want to do or need to do. The software is somewhat complex for those who may lack the brain power (no offense), but if you sit down and read the instructions throughtly you will find out that it is not that bad, and once you get the hang of it you can actually function around the phone without any restraints.
The camera is adecuate, and I say this because I have a digital camera and I did not purchase a phone simply to take picture. But overall, it performs well, and the fact that I can take panoramic pictures and stich them together is really something I did not expect from this phone. The sports setting which takes 5 shots in a row is extremely useful if you're dealing with kids. The browser is nothing fancy to brag, but I acquired a software to seach and view videos on the web (mostly youtube), and I am able to save, bookmark, etc. Most popular websites are now joining the mobile web requirenments, enough said on that.
The phone is bluetooth, and the media player actually plays the music much louder than my previous phone through my bluetooth motorola HT820 stereo headset. The sync fuction is extremely easy to set up. The touch screen feature is really nice, specially since you can write on the screen with the stylus and the software will type the words for you; this alone speeds up your typing speed if in IM or perhaps typing a memo on the mobile microsoft word software.
Email accounts are easyly set up (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, work email, school, etc) I have them all, and they are sync periodically as I set them.. again this is soo easy once you get the hang of it. Google maps is quite nice, if you're upgrading from a regular phone to a smartphone. The built in memory on the device is adecuate, but you can expand it with a micro sd card (up to 4GB), and I recommend you do this and set up the phone to use only that memory (install all the softwares that did not come with the phone on the memory card instead of the device).
