HTC Imagio pops live on Verizon with Windows Mobile 6.5

It's October 6th. A magical date in Redmond that will see the official launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 and the glorious onslaught of handsets upon which to ride. Like the HTC Imagio for example, now live on Verizon for $199 with a 2-year tithe. That price nabs a 5 megapixel autofocus cam, VZ Navigator, and V CAST mobile TV viewable on that 3.6-inch, WVGA display. Naturally, it also packs HTC's TouchFLO 3D UI. So, pull the trigger now VZW customers or wait to see what the day reveals? Tough call.

HTC SenseUI? Been there, done that. BLUR is even nicer.

Its actually TouchFLO 3D UI....Sense is for Android. Which this most definitely is not.

VCAST?! Holy shit, this just became 10x more amazing!
Oh wait. It sucks.

They're very similar as SenseUI is based on TouchFLO #D. The general Theme is the same in terms of colors, fonts and icons and many of the widgets look identical.

The Twitter app for example looks identical to the one on the Hero and I used a Hero ROM for a good month or so before switching to Donut. And yes I am on Android, but my point is the HTC TouchFLO 3D is similar to SenseUI and Moto BLUR is nicer imo.

This phone has a nice screen and good bit of ROM/RAM...but the cpu is gonna hold it back. The Moto Tao will be a better buy imo...
