    So the ONLY differences between this and the Hero, is screen size and a measly 32MB of ram. Bargain...YES!

    The HTC Tattoo -

    the buying process hurts like hell; the first couple of weeks are spent in constant irritation; while it looked good in the store, once you get it it's not what you really had in mind; and six months later you really regret getting it.

    I'm told that the sluggishness of the Hero is down to SDHC caching - if you use a faster card than the bundled one it fixes itself right up. On a device that should be free on contract the £25 outlay for an 8GB C4 card isn't exactly onerous.

    @Sockatume: That's the case when running Hero roms on the G1, where the small RAM is supplemented with Dalvik caches and swap on SD. AFAIK the Hero has enough memory to not require the SD.

    The Sense UI is no longer sluggish on the Hero. The leaked update makes it fly like shit of a greased shovel. Check out MoDaCo.com

    I think once the official update hits it would be only fair for you to re-review it.

    I've given up on Nokia already, just bought a HTC G1 yesterday. The only phone that has captured my attention are the N86 and the E55, the rest have been crap. Who still uses resistive screens? The biggest thing that pisses me off is that when new software comes out, it usually involves buying a new phone, Nokia might upgrade the software once or twice, but it is usually minor bug fixes and things like that.

    I like how with the G1 and WinMo new software builds come out all the time and you can just go download them and install them. S60 is allright I guess. I still love my N82.

    @Mozoltov, motherfucker: SE and HTC both use resistive screens.

    Not sure what the issue is, having used both Capacitive and resistive. There is no real difference. Capacitive is slightly faster, resistive is more accurate because you can also use a stylus.

    why does haptic feedback make it more user friendly - seems unnecessary for the keyboard, but vibrations for games may be cool.

    I'm surprised they aren't saying Kim Jong-Il isn't wiring the system himself. From what I understand, he is very intelligent and good at everything. The North Korean Ministry of Information claims that dictator Kim Jong Il had 11 holes in one - in his first round.
