so i ordered this phone yesterday for 262E, new. as i'm wating for it i am wondering how good is it? :D

I have the Touch Pro, very similar to your phone except mine has the hardware keyboard and memory card slot. As far as feature set goes, it's great. Afterall, it's Windows Mobile..you can customize almost everything on it. For me though, durability was a HUGE issue, I'm on my 5th one right now..awaiting my Droid replacement. I think a lot of my problems had to do with the slider, and since you don't have that, you should be good to go. I do however hope you can cope with the cramped on-screen keyboard.

tnx

hmm... found a problem:

youtube videos don't run smothly. anyone else having this problem?

[pbmaster]

My Touch Pro ran most of em OK. Have you looked for an updated ROM on HTC's site?

[mtosev]

yep i did. i seen that they have a - Rom dated FEB 2009. will update to it later

cant you just pause the vid untill its fully loaded?

[mtosev]

haha. that even works. pause and waiting for the video to load fully.

looks like that the phone is underpowered. :( can't play videos untill they are fully loaded

[pbmaster]

Wouldn't that be your network being underpowered and not loading the videos quickly enough? The phone can't play video it doesn't even have data for yet.

[mtosev]

nope it isn't a network problem. if the video is half loaded it still jumps at the begining.

Occasionally does it with my Iphone 3GS as well.

Oh well, it's not really that big of a deal anyway. To be honest, I found that a lot of the cool little apps weren't really practical on the go.
