99% Buying the MS this weekend!  rclxm9.gif

Just a few questions I have before I actually make the purchase.
1. For MS users who are using the Matte screen protector, I have read in the past replies that the Matte is not really sensitive. How do you guys find it? Worth buying?

2. Does a MS require a data plan? Would it be okay if I only used Wifi? Since my whole college is wifi, it would be pretty convenient. I have a limited budget and if it is possible, I wouldn't want to take up a data plan since the minimum is RM50 for Maxis and any extra usage would be charged a bomb! Wouldn't wanna risk it.

3. This would be my first smart phone and I was wondering is it user-friendly? I tried using the MS over the weekend and I was kinda a noob.  blush.gif
Would it be easy to operate? I am on a semester break right now so I will have a few days to experiment with it. Good enough?

4. Any thing that I should know of before I purchase this phone? Anything that I should be prepared to face?

Please  icon_question.gif! Want a few last opinions to convince me to get the Milestone!
Thanks!  notworthy.gif

1. no issues at all. However, if you're using the epikcase clip on case, then there might be some difficulties. My set is naked now. And it is so much more slimmer now. laugh.gif

2. Depends on you. If you have wi-fi access most of the time in your life, then you can forgo the data plan. Those "smartphone without data plan thing" is plain bullshit. In the end, it depends on the user, where the user will be at most of the time and etc.

3. My first smart phone is the P1i and trust me, a smart phone from 3 years ago is so much nastier.

4. Some random bugs like alarm clock not functioning, sometimes the playlist wont close after you plugged out the headphones (have to lock screen > unlock screen > then press home then only will close) but everything is just pretty minor. Not much major problem. usually just restart the phone solves it all.

notworthy.gif Thanks!

I am planning to get the Capdase casing. Any idea whether it is any good?

I will most probably try having no data plan for a while and see how I will survive. I have never had a data plan ever, so I think I will survive. But most of the applications can function without any data plan right? Some would just need wifi am I right?

I have 3-4 days with the phone, I think I will be able to figure things out but I would most probably be posting questions here, please do aid the noob me when the time comes! icon_question.gif

rclxm9.gif I can't wait to get the phone.

You can sync via gmail. Whatever you create/edit in your gmail contacts will automatically sync real time to your MS and vice versa.

Whatever contacts you have have to be save in .vcf file then you import everything to Gmail contacts. Once you've set up the sync in your MS
with Gmail your contacts will be all there!

Good luck!

ndrive 10 looks quite good, seems better than current motonav in our milestone. the app itself is free but u have to pay for the maps. for 20euros u get the latest (may2010) maps for brunei, malaysia & singapore. probably i'll buy it to replace motonav.

My Gmail & company email had been running without any hiccup so far. But I had the phone for only less than 2 weeks. Everything is still rosy. By the way, my screen protector is the free one that came with the phone. Just cut off the tab, and voila! Free screen protector. Talk about me being a cheapskate.... tongue.gif

Hi guys,

I not sure whether u guys ad know bout this or not but i didnt see it in the topic so i think i would like to share.(sharing is wat ANDROID about)!

I've never used a HTC phone b4 but i think that the stock screen keyboard for MS just not so good. then i accidentally found the following website that enable MS user to use HTC keyboard.
I know with the physical keyboard of MS it's pointless to have on screen keyboard. but for lazy ppl like me who sometimes don like to flip out the keyboard, this HTC ported keyboard is excellent.
Well ever since i installed this, i seldom use the physical keyboard of MS even for long sms. ^^

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/03/29/downl...e-keyboard-v19/

if any of you know that there's ad a newer n better version, kindly let me know can? thanks.

ps: in my opinion, i can type faster using this HTC keyboard compare to swype.

Mine got peeled off after barely two hours I got my phone.
Perhaps its caused by mt tight jeans. So, those who wear tight jeans/slim fit jeans beware. laugh.gif

laugh.gif I was being careful when I got the phone. Anyway, I'm using a leather slip-in cover the ms. The cover was originally meant for the iPhone. Hahaha.... boleh pakai jugak ni. Nice quality stuff that I got off the open market. Like pasar pagi kinda stuff. The outside is leather (or so the seller says lah) and inside was layered with a layer of soft felt cloth. Outside is dark tan leather color with some leather patterns, and inside is red color. Pretty nice case for RM29 onli.... tongue.gif

Hi, your iphone case really can fit the milestone properly without any loose?

Hi M'stoners,

I just updated Gesture Search and it now FCs without stop. It used to be fine and I used it constantly for contact lookup.

Anybody have a solution?
