I have the phone for about a week now. It is a little frustrating to use yes. I tried installing 3rd party apps, but they were incompatible (you cannot install Blackjack 2 apps because this is touchscreen, you cannot install pocketpc apps because the screen ratio of the Epix is 320:320 or 1:1, while most of the apps were made for a 4:3 aspect ratio)
I installed a few i780 (European Tri-band version of the Epix) apps, and roughly 20% of them worked. The phone eventually started crashing and I lost my wi-fi capability so I hurriedly did a Hard Reset (factory settings) and am done with installing apps. Onna the main things I heard about Win Mo was the ability to modify and change and personalize ur fone. So far, the rigidity is worse than what the iphone is offering.
Most ppl are using the finger mouse for a reason, it's because the 4-way navigation using that black square is just horrible!

It does come with a headphone adapter for a 3.5mm jack, but the sound quality is sufficiently reduced. It's my 1st experience with a WinMo device (Been a Symbian OS fan ever since my 1st phone), and it hasn't been a pleasant one. I'm giving this baby 3 months to get some apps out...if nothing, i'm running right quick for the E71. They're selling it for $365 down the street without bargaining! So with a bit of haggling, i'm sure I can get it to $340...which is awesome for a device with it's features + unlocked.

The only reason I have this phone is because I got the "early bird special" you can say. I grabbed it the 1st day it was out for $99 after M.I.R. So it's not a bad phone for a $100. The only other phone with these specs right now is the Blackberry Bold...and for $299 with a new contract...thanks but no thanks!
