Great device.

I had a chance to play around with the Glisten (I can not STAND that name!) today at work for about 40 minutes or so, as one of the managers on our software team got a demo unit (I work for HP's PSG business unit in the 3rd party software group). WM 6.5 is incredible to navigate around in. The screen is as good as has been advertised; it is vibrant and just beautiful. I didn't get a chance to check call quality since the phone didn't have a SIM card in while I was playing with it. The camera's clarity on the phone is great and, thankfully, it is a lot more snappy than the 910c's slow as a snail shutter speed. The touch screen is really responsive when using your finger and the screen itself feels much larger than the 910's screen even though when I did a side by side comparison, they're pretty much the same size as far as viewable area goes. The buttons on the keyboard are much bigger than the 910's which is great since I thought those were way too small for me. I'm not going to say too much more since, as I said before, I didn't have full functionality because of the lack of a SIM being installed on the unit I played with. I can't wait for this to become available thru AT&T because I'm going to be the first in line. This is a really solid device, from the limited time I had to spend with it.

bad and good news

@stalin,

first the bad news, you won't get transcribers out of the box in wm6.5, this OS is all about bringing wm to stylus challenged people using their fat fingers to smudge the screens.

good news, well its a windows mobile OS, unlike others' you can tweak your phone and extend the system any way you like. There's a transcriber CAB on xda, just download and install... This goes to all other wm6.5 users who got dissapointed with lack of transcribers.

I use an iPaq 612c.

And it works great. Windows Mobile works great too.......what I like most about it above an iPhone is the ability to use handwriting to enter text and data.......Can't wait to see the Glisten.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
