XDA flame-user's opinion needed please!

[palur]

I had to return my HTC x7500 as microdrive could not be repaired. I am thinking of xda flame.
I have read elsewhere but could not understand if majority have problems or simply love the device.

I really appreciate if all those who are using it could give their feedback on
a) how good is the TV out for US tvs?
b) Functionality of USB on the go
c) bluetooth for audio and phone
d) any crashing in the middle of the call.
e) screen clarity.

Thank you once again.

I am a (mostly) happy user of the Flame. We are still waiting for an answer whether we will get an upgrade to WM6 and the support from O2 Asia (now MWG) is less than good. That being said, the Flame is still a very good ppc phone if you value its abundant features. To answer your questions:

a) tv out works well but I don't use it much
b) USB on the go works well for almost everything I tried it with. Keyboard, flash drives, external hard drives all worked well but my mouse didn't work.
c) I have not tried the bluetooth for audio/phone but it works for others.
d) never crashed during a call for me
e) love the 3.6" VGA screen

I confirm the Andih point of view.
It is the best pda since the loox720.
And it is a phone.
No problem with the phone.
On French tv it work well, I have not a US one.
Do not hesitate!
The only reason could be you need absolutely a keyboard always with you.

Thank you for the input.
No I do not need keyboard and it makes the unit heavy and thick. I was just concerned about few negative things said such as call dropping and bluetooth disconnections.
Thank you.
