Week One; "So Far So Neat"

I have now had my new Omnia II a full week and thus far is been pretty bloody sweet. I've been watching full movies and TV shows on the high resolution screen on my way into work each day and at no point did I have to worry about converting it into itunes!

My next big source of happyness is the ability to multi task, and I don't just mean listening to tunes whilst typing a text. I finally have the ability to MINIMIZE! Right now for example I am on MSN with someone in one window, typing this in another, while offspring is playing in my ears.

The third major happy I have with this phone is ease of obtaining software. It aint no app store but I have access to the microsoft marketplace as well as a HUGE host of websites that host WM files some of which are damn near awesome for example the swype text program. Now my phone isn't with verizon so it didn't ship with this piece of heaven so I had to*cough*do something to fix that.... that app makes typing a breeze. This whole entry was done through my phone via swype and without it I probably never would have even attempted it, I know I would never of dreamed of blogging via my old phone.

Now on to the cons. First off, this website is SO not mobile friendly. It doesn't seem to want to scroll down as I type but that has nothing to do about the phone or windows mobile. Okay, so far at the end of week one the only complaints about either the phone or WM6.5 was the lack of native voice command and multi touch. Voice is fixed quickly by buying voicecommand from market place. Single touch is just a bit more clumsy then multi touch for web browsing but at least I can choose between using internet explorer, firefox and opera.
