- Winbloze is
NOT a "pro". It's an unstable, bloated show-stopper. He even says 'Net Exploiter isn't as good as Blazer on Palm. What kind of stripped-down pablum is on that thing? Opera on the Z is a
full web browser ... I only go to normal, full-blown web sites and never have any problem. Blazer can't do squat ... I know ... my wife won't even use it on her Treo 650 because it's so pathetic.
- This is a
good write-up, though, and plainly showcases what an excellent piece of hardware it is. Now if they would just give it an operating system worthy of that hardware it could be a very nice machine.
- Personally, I'm with chiark. I have a phone, and a Z. If I'm at a WiFi hotspot I pop in the card and go. If I'm not, I pop in the BT card and use the cell phone. I'm carrying both devices, anyway, and quite frankly I have yet to see an integrated device that is as flexable or as powerful as my phone and my Z. Each device is tailored to its function, and works best in that realm. The wife is always having problems with phone calls coming in while she's doing things on her Treo. My phone never interrupts what the Z is doing, and vice-versa.
- That
will ultimately change. But integrated devices are simply not ready for prime time, imho. (shrug) Probably never will be, for my purpose. I'm not looking for integration with the latest bull from Lord Gates because I never sync with anything for any reason. Why should I, when I always have the Z and it's always got the latest data in it? I'm definitely
not interested in "ease of use" that
explicitly prevents me from doing what I want to do. I do feel the population-at-large just wants things to work, and for reasons I will
never understand, they seem to be perfectly willing to accept continual crashes, draconianly restrictive "applications", DRM, vendor lock-in, and heinously pathetic battery "life". Hence the HTC. It's a sad state of affairs.
- I'd not give up my Z if they
paid me to take one of these pieces of Winjunk. Well, maybe for a million dollars. I'd drop it "by accident" one day, send it back, pocket the money, and get half a dozen C3100 units. (wolfish grin)
