Psh, not only Sero users get "screwed". So do any users with older plans and unlimited data packs. I'm guessing there are a ton of us out there with everything an "everything" plan offers but paying less. I understand having to pay to play but I do feel a little "screwed". If anytime minutes are equal, they are essentially asking me to pay an extra $30 a month for my data plan (an add-on I added a year ago) for any non-WM smartphone now. Not to mention forcing anyone on a shared plan to upgrade everyone on the plan regardless if they need all the extras or not. If they would at least let us pay full price for a device and activate it I'd be okay with that. Sadly it seems like sooner or later all their smartphones will have activation requirements.

Someone should demo it with the handful (if not more) of better interfaces out there for winmo.

Paul Chapel, why are you here, ever? Stick to iphone sites and threads. Why do people go out of their way to bash or even read about something they don't care about?

I'll be waiting for the winning email.

So, what if you have an old contract with an unlimited data package? Upgradable to a Pre or are they pushing the new everything plans?

I want!

The Battery life isn't great on the purchased version!
I would suggest HTC take note of what is happening on http://forum.xda-developers.com - those guys have improved my battery life, performance and GPS! My diamond now rocks!


Wise man. Head over to XDA/PPCgeeks (for cdma'ers) and get yourself a new rom and radio. Bye bye: mediocre battery life, heat issues, gps issues, tf3d lag, etc...

For those not too happy with the sprint colored backs, search RIT dye on ppcgeeks. Dye your backs a different color permanently for about 2 bucks and KEEP the rubbery feel.

fuze me!

If you've actually used desktop linux these days you'd know many distros are nearly as easy if not easier to use than windows or osx. The interface is pretty universal when it comes to navigating (compared to windows). Most apps require a click to download/install/remove in a simple package manager if you stick with a major distro like ubuntu. Simpler and more straight forward than windows in that aspect. There are also a ton of familiar apps as well as alternatives that are on par if not better. System controls are also much easier to access and change with proper gui based system management. Typing in commands and the dreaded terminal are basically avoidable for non-power users. Nowadays I think it's much easier to go to linux from windows than to osx. For your average "desktop browser" user it's a viable option. For professionals and gamers it lacks significantly. It's also not completely perfect for all hardware (out of the box) but it's getting there. I don't see it ever being a major contender because the dominance of M$ but just like those ridiculous Apple vs. PC commercials there's a lot of misinformation out there. Linux needs to pull a "windows mojave".

gimme!
