The Treo Pro makes its video debut, inches towards launch {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 21st 2008 9:28AM Comparing to other WinMo devices - Palm devices have great performance and good stability.
Not the fanciest but alway practical - just like I love it!

HTC Touch Diamond hands-on, up close and personal this time {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 8th 2008 5:20PM Well, of course I meant to write TouchFlo. Sorry...
It's funny how you guys become aggressive when someone is simply trying to say: "I tried it for a short while - and got disappointed..."
Call it a review, call it first time impression, call it personal feelings about something which involves technology - it doesn't change the fact that I was not impressed with it as was expecting to be.
And for the last time: I am not an iPhone fan (what is that all about? is there some kind of a secret war I'm not aware of? Can't I say the word iPhone without getting tons of complains? Next time I will say Blackberry...) I never had an iPhone, nor even an iPod for that matter. In fact - I don't even eat apples! ;-)
And in regards to Clay's funny comment about switching the OK button - I can do that, but once I do it - I won't have the 'back' functionality any more - right? the point I tried to raise was that I was missing those extra 2 hardware buttons which I'm used to. Some may find it a small concern - but for me it's pretty important.

Jun 8th 2008 12:53PM Thanks for your comments, I liked the things you wrote.
I'm totally not an iPhone fan (not that there's something wrong with it...) but indeed - I think that some of the things HTC are doing on top of the Windows Mobile is good - but limited.
As someone who develops applications for Windows Mobile - I know the limitations but also know the huge strength of the WM platform.
I assume Windows Mobile 7 will be much better for all of us, until then - it will be hard to get the same look and feel the iPhone has.
BTW - try out the SPB Mobile Shell - I think it's even better than the TouchPro (even though it still has few bugs) in terms of shortcuts and stuff.

Jun 8th 2008 12:45PM First of all, I can, and I did, as long as I say from the beginning to take my words carefully (which I also did...).
I think that at least some of my points were good: missing OK button is hard when you get used to it, why not talk about it?
The iPhone thing was a joke, and a nice one if I may... (how could you miss that?)
My blog is about taking the mobile stuff which interest me in an easy way. And for me this is part of the fun.
I invite you to check it out every once in a while.

Jun 8th 2008 10:17AM Hey Phoenix,
The reason I removed your comment was that it was too aggressive not to say a bit offending.
It's true that my review was not based on days with the device, and I mentioned it couple of times.
I accept some of your critics, but I wish you would have said it more nicely.
Believe it or not, I'm actually a Windows Mobile fan. But it doesn't mean I have to like every new device HTC releases, and it doesn't change the fact that I was dissapointed with the Diamond.
As I wrote, this is a beautiful device, but I still think it misses practical features I'm used to, maybe the Touch Pro is the answer...
My R&D Manager once told me that a good UI is one that is self explanatory, people don't like reading manuals. I really think that the UI is not intuitive enough.
