Awesome!

I really do use my phone to talk with people so his findings are just another reason to go out and buy one - maybe tomorrow.

Bluetooth: I was rather shocked to discover that the Bluetooth implementation is for audio only. Like the iPhone, this serious limitation is inexcusable in a smartphone. I can see dumb phones having Bluetooth just for audio, but the lack of OBEX file transfer on a smartphone is just mind-numbing. It was bad enough that Apple didn’t put it in the iPhone, but that doesn’t mean HTC has to wear the dumb-design dunce cap too.


The phone sounds great on the whole, but I'm dissapointed to hear that the Bluetooth is so limited.

It;s just a software issue. The iPhone didn't have cut/paste till OS 3.0 , but that didn't stop people from buying it. And it eventually got added to the standard software.

There are 3rd party solutions for bluettorh file sharing.
Android is pretty young. Give it some tie to grow up and have all the features you want, implemented.
