I don't like this move to all touch devices.
I thought MS was moving towards one handed devices and combining the Pro and Standard version of WinMo.
Now that the iPhone is king, everyone is trying to copy it. The iPhone is pretty great but most iPhone users would have bought what ever decent device Apple put out. Also at $200 there's no reason to come up with half witted versions for $300+. Plus another couple of bucks for expanding the memory. It's a joke.
MS and everyone are now adding swipes and flicks for the sake of swiping and flicking and MS device partners are taking away d-pads and buttons.
Let me say this again. Everyone that wants an iPhone has one. It's $200 with contract. It's a steal! Stop copying it and come up with your own intuitive system that doesn't need to be reset 12 times a day and does not lag for no reason.
I'm using an AT&T Tilt with a Hyperdragon ROM from September. All the newer ROMs have an updated version of PocketIE and it sucks! I like having buttons and I like setting them for long holds and double presses. I like the d-pad and single handed operation. The Tilt even has a jog wheel and two button on the side. By mapping them to the left & right soft keys I can do almost everything with one hand. Not only do I want buttons, but I wish double push and holding would be program specific so holding the Internet button would open up favorites and double pressing would go to the home page.
The default AT&T dialer is a joke and the buttons are too small. Also, most of the time I tap the screen one place and it highlights another part of the screen. Why the hell do they still have a useless tiny keyboard? The new honeycomb launcher is painful on the eyes. Half the time swiping cause the tap hold menu to pop up. Let's take away all the buttons and keep the same non responsive touch screen that was made to be used with a stylus. Also, what the hell is wrong with a stylus? No one has trouble with it on the DS?
I vote to keep buttons and d-pads but make the screens responsive enough for touch as well.
