The best Smartphone ever?
I love the HTC S620 (aka TMO Dash or Excalibur). It's still not quite taken over my QTEK 8500 as my primary phone but it's not far off and I may make the change this week. Why?
- It's a Smartphone with a keyboard. Freaked me out for a while but the combo of the Windows Mobile Smartphone OS and the keyboard just works. One handed too!
- The screen is beautiful. Not quite as good as my Vaio X-Black screen but not far off.
- The keyboard is great and nice touches like not having to switch to numeric mode when typing in my key lock code show a nice attention to detail.
- The JOGGR thumb pad is just genius when it comes to scroller innovation
- Battery life is solid
- WiFi, Bluetooth and the camera. All good quality and good UI.
- Finally, the build quality. A bit like my Zune people just pick it up and don't want to put it down. It has a lovely smooth rubber like finish and feels solid...and it's soooo thin.
Don't take my word for it though. Cali Lewis of Geek Brief TV gave it a big thumbs up over 3 Blackberry units and the Sidekick.
