Would I be happy with Hermes? (non-cooked ROMS)

[GuOD]

Hey everyone,

I'm considering upgrading from an E61 to a Hermes and wanted to get some specific info before I splurge :) I don't want to void my warranty so I would not be using any cooked/non-HTC roms on my phone.

Currently I like my E61 but I prefer WM to Symbian. Also, I find my e61 a little sluggish at times and hope the Tytn is faster.

Q1: Does Windows Messenger work perfectly fine in WM5 using Wifi? (Symbian lost Agile and now I don't have Messenger)

Q2: Is it possible to be happy with WM5 at this point or will I always want WM6 (ie; wait for Kaiser) (what are the KEY benefits of WM6 that i'll miss out on?) -- with my axim I preferred WM2003SE to WM5

Q3: Anyone else move to WM from Symbian? What did you like/dislike?

Thanks a lot!

Yes
Yes and
Yes!

WM5 is fine (although 6 is even better)... Messenger works fine over Wifi.

As with Symbian, the only problem you have is if you install buggy third party apps!

hello

I had a P910i before my Vario II, i waited for the P990 and decided it wasn't worth the wait:rolleyes:

since i've got my new phone over two weeks ago, i've become a geek at trying to add new programs, change my today screens etc......

you can spend literally hours doing this and I never bother with my P910 its such fun
and then there is this forum which is brill:)

you can always 'cook' your hermes to a WM6, but if you can afford it wait for the Kaiser:D

Same situation here my friend!! I upgraded from a P900 (old faithfull) I was planning on the p990 aswell but the various delaysreally ticked me off. I ehard about the TyTN on esato forums and I never looked back! SOOOO glad i bought it too. :D

I was a bit unstisfied with my tytn and the original rom, reasons were random lookup/freeze and general slowness compared to the cpu clock of the device (actually same performance of the wizards with half mhz).

After the upgrade to WM6 with an unoffical rom both problems disappeared! :) the device is not really really fast and responsive (and I have already installed all my usual apps).

Well.... I took the plunge :)

The device should be here within a few days. I can't wait to try it out!
