Got it.

First impression, EXTREMELY bad fingerprint magnet. I was expecting it to be like D810's fingerprint problem, but its much muh worse. However, the back cover seems to be a different kinda plastic glossy coating than D810, so i expect no peeling problems here.

Start up screen, after it install all necessary sys cabs, there's actually a short demo (video) on how to use the Touch interface. The old Touch didnt have that, justin writing in a manual..

The glass screen feels....like got some static attraction, so its totally not fun to scroll around with the finger. Well see how it is after putting on the screen protector

Yes it's true that this device is fingerprint magnet, but i found it quite responsive and the 'TOUCH' feel is much sensitive than all previous Htc Touch model.

I added first impressions to second post

if touch pro come out.. i will think about that 1st...
or maybe i just get a umpc with a decent camera HSDPA phone...

lol, nothing really different compared to review photos. As for a quick review, anything in particular u wanna know? I cant do a full review, exams lol must study

Battery life

Also is it laggy?

Laggy? hmmm, i'll use for about 24 hours and let u know. I have to do a perfect first charge now first, so regarding battery life, maybe can only let u know in 3 days so i can properly assess. I'll be comparing it with HTC Touch Cruise, running windows mobile 6.1, and give a rough estimate how i feel about it

I might be getting mine tomorrow

Tomorrow i go play with test unit

Thanks anyway
Guess i shuld hold off my purchase till you reviewed it?

Is the gesture thing responsive?
As in the flick thing


Thanks

Yes, it seems responsive to me.

UPDATE: Some games i insalled like Hexic and Warcraft 2, the icons in the start menu is totally screwed up, like, can see the shape of the icon, but not wat the icon is. It looks black and has strange lines. But not all games like this. Only some. I'm trying to figure out why. They're all meant for VGA. Hmm

You go where get?

Specially made VGA games and VGA compatible games running flawlessly. I'll be testing the Graphic Acelerator using Call of Duty as a comparison soon. Note that Touch Cruise and Tytn2 could NOT play Call of Duty, extremely laggy, even on the lowest settings.
