Post T-Mobile Ameo

got my Ameo last Friday, here's my first feedback:

- receiving phone calls is different: there is no vibrating alarm, so you have to either rely on the shipped headset (cable) or on a bluetooth headset

- even if you plug the headset into the socket the device will make a noise when it receives a call, unless you set the phone volume off completely

- you cannot hang up call with the little button on the head set: it is in your pocket and you listen to some music over the headset (cable), you receive a call and push the button of the headset, you take the call, but you cannot end it on your own, either pull out the device and press the button on screen or wait until other end has hung up

- battery power depends heavily on use: from more than two days with aggressive power saving features enabled (min. brightness, no wifi, no bt, no gps, ca. 1h phone calls) to under 2 hours when everything is turned on and the device is connected to internet via 3G and acts as a router for laptop (in this mode I was trying to recharge the device via USB cable, but the energy consumption of the device was higher than what my MacBook Pro had to offer via USB)

- device does not support the DUN profile, if you want to use it with your laptop you have to use the PAN profile (not working for Macosx out of the box, but I am still trying)

- VueFlo feature is amazing, though sometimes response is not instant

- multimedia features successfully tested (with tcpmp): Divx+AAC, ogg, mp3, streaming media via wifi

- multimedia features missed: realplayer, flash player

- I hope that screen resolution will be changed in the future, as everything seems a little bit to large on that screen

- keyboard: never used, the keyboard and the device together form a quite bulky combo that doesn't fit into the pocket of my jacket and the keyboard is quite heavy too

- speed: much better though I have the feeling that either SPB Pocket Plus or Pocket Informant slowed the device down a little bit, have to investigate this further

that all for now,
