Typical of Windows Mobile -it was difficult to get the program onto the phone, but once on it, it works as advertized. It drains the battery quickly, but with a car adaptor, Wifi everywhere!

With five days of use, I can say that Verizon’s HTC app store is a joke -takes too many steps to get to poorly presented and too few apps. The WinMo’s charm showed through in the form of two soft resets to cure freeze ups. The HTC touch-flo interface mostly works but is clearly no where near the coherence of iPhone’s interface. The screen is gorgeous on the TouchPro2. The ability to shoot video is great but video won’t go through MMS. With the lockdown on the apps and high data needs -Verizon is protecting itself from AT&T biggest problem -the data rushes created by iPhone. Keyboard is nice, but I like portrait keyboards better -less thumb travel. I found the keyboard very difficult to hold and type on the Droid -they recreate the problem that Nokia has on its N810 and N900 series devices with narrow space between display and top row of keys. Why didn’t I go Droid -it’s half baked and Verizon basically crippled it like they will try to with iPhone.

Oh Well. I do have to say that I haven’t dropped a call yet from every nook and cranny of my house. I haven’t dropped a call period in the five days which would have been a rarity on AT&T.

Still…it’s a great phone. But I predict when Apple finally breaks free of the AT&T only option Verizon will be the first to get the iPhone so you can switch back.
