You mean the HTC Touch HD that isn't coming to the US?

**madmatt** · October 10th, 2008

Not officially, but you can import it without US 3G (pointless, I know).

I had one and it went back. Nice phone with some great features but the wifi was awful and the GPS did not work very well either. So I would not recommend it personally.

**lancer** · October 10th, 2008

really they where the two reasons i wanted it, but you are in the uk, perhaps it would work better here.

Does anyone know if these new phones have capacitive or resistive screens?

Yeah I was wondering that too. Though there are befits to them both I can't see resistive lasting due to not being as responsive.

lancer - Wifi is the same no matter where you are and the GPS should not vary much either. Try googling for 'weak wifi' you should find some info.
You might have more luck maybe mine was a bad unit as not everyone moans about the same things - best bet is try one

ya know, the more I look at that blackberry, and read about it, the more I like it. I just hope there is a way to remove some of those links on the front panel; as some of them I would either never use, or wouldn't use them enough to have them in view all the time.

Like this for example:

**Sazar** · October 11th, 2008

I am sure those are the standard icons that you sort of NEED

Mail, internet, calendar, photos, GPS and lord knows whatever else. I know on the iPhone you can change them around so maybe the same is true for this.

**Jewelzz** · October 11th, 2008

You can hide and move icon around on the Blackberry. I have a lot of hidden icons

**Sazar** · October 11th, 2008

You have the storm already?

**Jewelzz** · October 11th, 2008

I wish, I have a 8730e for business and a Pearl for personal use. You can hide apps/move icons on all BBs and delete programs

**madmatt** · October 12th, 2008

I wonder if Microsoft will really snap 'em up. The next month will be an interesting month.

**Jewelzz** · October 12th, 2008

I'll get an iPhone if MS snatches up RIM

**X-Istence** · October 12th, 2008

Well, if MS buys RIM, which OS will they keep? Windows Mobile or RIM's proprietary OS?

**madmatt** · October 12th, 2008

I would assume nothing will change for a year or two. But they will combine the best features of both into Windows Mobile 9.

**Johnny** · October 12th, 2008

That does sound interesting, matt. I wonder what the outcome will be ..

So you are suggesting that Microsoft will "throw away" an entire OS, and just implement features in Windows Mobile 9? RIM is not the hardware, they have a proprietary OS platform/push services and that is where the money is.

I believe Daring Fireball said it best: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2008/10/10/rim-msft . It would mean they want to completely abandon Windows Mobile. Which has been a sub-par product from the start, there is a reason BlackBerry's are rooted within the corporate environment and Windows Mobile is not.

Yep, BES's are BIG business as well.

Microsoft will likely not push everything out the door wrt Blackberry's OS but, I expect some kind of integration.
