My biggest gripe so far is HP decided to disable WM's screen rotation feature, and since the screen is landscape, several older apps are unusable on the device. Bad HP!! I can't for the life of me figure out why the heck the won't let us rotate the screen, it can't add any cost since it's built into the OS, and people who don't want to use the device horizontally wont. ]]>Jul 10th 2008 12:58PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/hps-ipaq-910-smartphone-now-available/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/hps-ipaq-910-smartphone-now-available/Jul 10th 2008 5:08PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/hps-ipaq-910-smartphone-now-available/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/hps-ipaq-910-smartphone-now-available/Jul 10th 2008 8:57PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/hps-ipaq-910-smartphone-now-available/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/hps-ipaq-910-smartphone-now-available/
I like that this thing has a touchscreen + scroll-wheel + QWERTY + GPS + WiFi and doesn't come with a contract. I hate carrier branding.

I wish this had a slightly larger screen that was A LOT brighter.
But this is much better looking than the old Treo 700WX screen. I think it's running at 133dpi like the Q.

I considered the iPhone, but I wanted QWERTY because I type alot. I can type blind on my Treo, and it makes using the phone so nice. I'm so serious about the importance of easy typing that I'll return this if I can't learn to type blind. The keyboard looks bad, but the reviewers said it was nice. ...We'll see.

I'm not turned on by this phone's appearance. ...But it's not that ugly, and I bet it will grow on me.

Almost every reviewer comments on how fast this phone operates. It was scheduled to be a 520Mhz processor, it was released at 412Mhz.
I'll bet you can easily overclock this to 520Mhz. I suspect they lowered it to save battery. Sometimes I like to overclock when I don't mind killing the battery, maybe they should bring back the turbo button computers used to have? Does anyone else remember those?

I like the removable battery.

I wish it had more miniSD slots. I'd like to see two on the outside and four behind the battery. ...But who cares what I think.

...Bottom line, I'm really looking forward to playing with it and I think it's going to be a big upgrade from the 700WX. ...And probably better than the 800W.

Seriously though, tons of Intel chips support "SpeedStep" technology. These chips can be throttled at various speeds. Most phones automatically manage this feature. I wish Intel would force SpeedStep powered devices into giving users the ability to throttle the CPU like the good old days.]]>Jul 13th 2008 1:21AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/hps-ipaq-910-smartphone-now-available/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/hps-ipaq-910-smartphone-now-available/
The only two things I really dislike about the hardware are the screen-size (too small) and the keyboard (I prefer having some distance between my keys like Treo/Palms). I still can't type blind on it, but give me a week. ...If I can't type blind by then I'm returning it.

PS: This is the fastest Windows Smartphone I've used. Pocket Nester runs great on this, even with music playing in the background while downloading. ...Which is nice.
