"Not quite sure yet .. An improved Windows Mobile Standard edition interface. A few added features to the home screen. If you are used to TouchFlo 3D you might recognise a few things...The device is fast, feels great in your hand and synchronizes superfast with my SnelBij.nl service (push email, contacts, caledering, tasks) and has a fast processor. I used to use a Motorola Q9H, but this device is really fast. There's one catch: the QWERTY keyboard does not deliver on its promise. I find it cumbersome and fiddly. The MotoQ was definitely better. Nice try HTC, but quite there yet! You can NOT beat the price of this device, though."

"Easiliy the best Windows Smartphone I've used in a long time. Battery lasts for days even when running push email and heavy voice use. Everything is accessable from the front screen so no need to go through lots of menus. QWERTY keyboard is a good size with buttons well spaced and the trackball in the middle is brilliant, very responsive making navigating through menus and emails easy."
