I know a lot of
people have been posting 1st impressions but I thought I'd add my thoughts
too.
As a developer I'm
very impressed with the device. The power management is second to none and I
like the overall user experience. It feels natural and fairly responsive.
Browsing is truly impressive. Way better than my thousand dollar
jasjar.
email is a bit of a
let down. My imap account feels sluggish. My on device mail database has become
corrupt twice since last Thursday.
To remove the imap
account and start again, you have to load 'inbox'. however when inbox starts up
it attempts send-receive and the mail program would crash. I had to offline-mode
to delete the account. I also think there maybe a bug in the account input
stage. sometimes it just seems to fail for me (I think it's something to do with
the domain, my username is of the form
'domain\username'.
For such a connected device I feel that the Bluetooth implementation is a little strangled. I'd really like to see better obex support. I want to be able to BT a vcard. I don't want to drop to an xterm to do it! samba would be super-useful too.
I'm also
interested in the distinct lack of 'wake-up' features. I'm praying someone
writes an alarm clock app soon! Some old screenshots showed an 'alarm bell' icon
in the top title bar, where did it go?
I think my
development tinkering will venture into the networking side of things. If I
could readily stream video/music/files from my pc that would be a big bonus for
the device. currently it's close, but not quite there, to replace my
pocketpc.
