The HTC Imagio is FAR better then the S2!

Seven is a free third party app that allows push mail to your device. It's not up to Verizon to offer this. It works for devices on all the carriers.

I like my bb storm, you might like your htc imagio. Cool. But, we don't need to make threads that try to convince each other to switch. I like what I like and if you like something else, cool , but leave me alone. Stop saying things like "but the specs are clearly better!" or "but the OS on the phone I like is soooo much smoother and cooler looking than the OS on your phone!" The point here is that I don't care. If I did care about your HTC imagio, I'll look on an HTC imagio forum for information. I'm a capable person, and I trust everyone else here is, too.

I feel it's the same thing as religion. You believe in what you want and I'll believe (or not believe, not everyone believes in god) in what I do, and that's all the more there is to it.

I just don't see the point in coming to the Storm2 forums with a new thread about a non-storm2 phone, namely the HTC imagio. Seems out of place to me.

P.S. Alenee83, GTFO.

LOL owned. Is this chick a sales rep for htc? Her post sounded like a bad telemarketer sales pitch.

I'm working on getting an Imagio for no charge. I've had 4 S!'s and a refurb S2 that didn't even work out of the box. 5 storms in 8 months? The S2 sucks as bad as the S1. Couln't even press the send button. Piece of crap. I think that's enough for me.

I've never heard of "send" button failure being a widespread problem for the S2...

Well they told me they've seen it before so that was it for me. I'm getting a new Imagio N/C after enough bitching. Like I said, 5 phones in 8 months is too much for me. I've heard great things about the Imagio except for the WM issues which I am used to from my previous WM phones. It can't be worse.

Sorry to bail, but I feel like RIM bailed on me. Verizon said all the refurb work is done by RIM. They send them back "fixed" and Verizon just boxes them and send them out. As I had said earlier, 2 of them never even worked out of the box. That doesn't say much for RIM.

Any past refurbs I had for other phones always worked perfectly. That being said, I had some terrible smartphones before as well. My PALM based Treo was replaced every month for 3 months because I would just stop working. They switched me to a different phone back then as well. Some phones are just Lemons, and that's my personal experience with the storms.

I wasn't going to let Verizon off the hook (so to speak) when I spent $200 for a phone that never worked right.

At least with the Imagio, there are a ton of 3rd party apps that run on WM and a lot of WM tweakers as well. I know it has some drawbacks as well, but they all do. It's free, and if it doesn't work out, I have 30 days to change to something else.

Bye Guys and Gals. It was a nice forum.

I'm gonna get yelled at for saying this, but I'm not all that fussed about touchflo. I like WinMo for what it is. The Imagio and Touch Pro 2 skinned it beyond recognition.

I know people want 30 quick ways to get to different things, but I think there's easier ways to do that without reinventing the entire OS's gui.

That's just me though. If I ever got one of these, I'd turn the touchflo off. There's other ways to get weather on my front screen that don't get in the way of what I'm already used to.

BB had to re-invent their OS just to make it work, so I don't know if I'd be too quick to criticize the Touchflo. It makes the phone very enjoyable, and that's what it's reallt all about. Virtually every major reviewer loves it.

That's pretty much all TF3d is, eye candy. It's slower to use than most other interfaces and you can't do a lot of things through TF3D itself, you have to launch the native WM6 email app for example to actually *do* things.

Personally I like spb mobile shell far, far better and it is extremely more customizable.
