Back in webOS!!!
After a Sprint Pixi and then a Pre, I simply could not get the necessary horsepower out of these devices to get stuff done. Dependability, speed, hardware issues we all know the litany.....so, although being thoroughly engrossed with webOS I left it for a Bold Touch. (spent ONE day with an HTC Android device. powerful, but...UGH!)
That was about 5 months ago.
The Bold was way more powerful, speedier, battery, conference call ability, camera, etc etc just about everything was better – especially how's-a-bout that amazing keyboard!
But I'm back. Knowing that there's better webOS hardware out there now, rare and unsupported thought it may be, at the end of the day the BB felt too clunky, too hiccupy, and too list-y...non-inuitive...and certainly not elegant in any sense. Surprisingly, it would very often "hang" and need either a long frustrating wait, or a reset. When it was running smoothly, it was Very Functional, but...bumpy. And almost totally artless.
So I quickly got a used (white) Veer for $45, just to be back in webOS, fast. I'm swishing and gesturing around, it really is such a pleasure to use and the multitasking, yes even with just the stock apps, is simply a pleasure. But the device is (duh) really small, "no" headphone jack, weak speaker/phone, slippery plastic casing has caused me drop it a few times already in just about a month.
Now I'm waiting for my Pre 2 from eBay.
• better heft
• black, more prof. looking?
• bigger keypad
• headphone jack
• camera flash
• better speakerphone
• fast processor
• more apps available than on Veer - can anyone comment? thanks
• more Preware available? - (ditto)
I am really looking forward to it. I don't know a d*** thing about programming or open-sourcing but long live webOS!
