2 weeks with Windows phone 6.5 and the HTC Pure

[Flar]

Stephen Borders at Mobility site has been testing the HTC pure with Windows phone 6.5 for 2 weeks and has written a nice article about it, a short quote and a link to the full article can be found below.

I have been privileged to have the HTC Pure from at&t for a couple of weeks and it has provided me with two new experiences. The opportunity to used some updated hardware and to use the latest version of Windows Mobile or as it is now called Windows Phone. Both have been an enjoyable experience. So I wanted to post some final thoughts on both and I encourage you the reader to post your thoughts in the comment section as well. As each day goes by I find I am reaching less and less for my tilt. The Tilt is by no means a bad device, in fact it got very good reviews when it was released. But the Pure looks better, runs faster and feels better in the hand. The screen is the best I have seen and is visible in sunlight and with the light sensor the screen is always bright enough. The only reasons I grab the tilt is when it rings or to answer an email that is longer than a couple of words. I just can’t get good at the virtual keyboard. My wife on the other hand answered a message for me while we were in the car and she had no trouble typing on it and she uses a Treo 750 which has an excellent keyboard. She does however have much smaller fingers and pointy fingernails which are more precise at touching the resistive screen than my fat mechanics thumbs. It fits nicely in the pocket without being heavy and I am impressed by the call quality and signal lock. As I mentioned in my review here the indicated signal is the same as on my tilt but I can have a clear conversation in my office without a problem. Full article can be found here
