No CDMA and no GSM where I live yet.

@Adam B.

Plastics are okay with phones, you have to change them every two or three years anyway. As long as you don't have the habit of throwing your phone to the walls it will last. I always purchase a leather jacket for them and asides from scratches, the only bad thing ever to happen were a cracked LCD screen and a loss in a snow bank (that's what we call snow plowed to the side of the streets, they often reach 5 feet high here). Both were survivals.

Hey Harry, is this your phone?

I wish they'd launched it a couple months ago. I could have got it.

That's the one, yes. One thing that favourably impressed me is all the "extras" you get with it as standard: a 1GB MicroSD card (even though the box says 512MB!), a spare stylus, a very nice carrying case, and a screen protector.

I'm a Linux girl so it almost pains me to say this, but WM6 ain't all that bad. Being able to easily synch between the work-imposed Windows Exchange system and my phone is pretty darned sweet. I have all my contacts, calendar, etc. with me all the time.

I have the Nokia E65, which is a little larger than the HTC, but still has WiFi, a usable web browser, a large and growing catalogue of 3rd party apps, a nice 320x240 screen, Mobipocket reader software and syncs calendar and contacts to/from Outlook falutlessly by bluetooth every time I come into range of my work PC. And since it is the E series (for business), Orange here in the UK didn't massacre the interface as they do for their "Consumer" phones, so I get all the standard Nokia software. It isn't perfect (what phone is?) but it is the best I have had yet.
