Default General XDA/O2/T-Mobile Impressions
So it took a long time for me to finally get a T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone...

I'm impressed by several things and annoyed by others.

Here are the things that bug me:
1. Its too slick -- it always feels like I'm going to drop it (and have twice aready)
2. The power button is flaky -- it locks up sometimes and requires a hard reset.
3. The speaker pops sometimes (quite loudly!) while using the phone -- this may be from a weak signal but still annoying.
4. Its difficult to use the phone with one hand, even with the speed dial
5. The volume button is easy to press and often accidently turns on the device.
6. A larger screen with more colors would have been nice -- its noticeable on movies.
7. I'm really only using Agenda Fusion, GigaBar, and spb GPRS Monitor and yet have to reset the device often. This seems to always occur when I'm trying to quickly use the device such as making a call or taking notes.
8. The cradle is top heavy requiring both hands to remove the device.
9. The stylus is too short and narrow
10. You cant scale contrast and brightness
11. You cant toggle the speakerphone during a call

Things that impress me with the device:
1. The battery life is remarkably good. Without formal testing it seems better than my last handheld (casio em500) and is definately better than my Spring phone.
2. There is a lot of function packed into a tiny package especially considering the price (299 at amazon or compusa)

Overall my feelings are mixed but generally positive. I'm having a hard time getting rid of my sprint cellphone because of the lockups and some of the quirkiness of dialing with the T-mobile.

What are other peoples impressions????
