New Toy: Chocolate!
Yup, I bought one. I gotta say, it’s by far the coolest phone I ever owned. My last phone just turned two, so I was eligible for an upgrade and $100 towards a new phone, so for $50 after rebate, I picked up this baby:
So far, I’m liking it. The one problem is that the interface is pretty small, and my fingers are not. But after entering all my contacts, I was getting pretty used to it, and got pretty good at hitting one key, not three at a time.
The interface is apparently a Flash UI. I would say the responsiveness could be a bit better, but again, its something that I think I’ll have to get used to. I wound up going too deep in menus a few times, clicking, not noticing a response and clicking again, then having both clicks register. Part of it is that the buttons are not tactile, so there’s no physical feedback to know when you pushed them. Once I started getting used to knowing how much pressure was needed, I was able to let go and “trust the force” (no, I am NOT a Star Wars geek).
