I just received the HTC Pure, today. So far, it is pleasing to me. I am sure that a few adjustments are necessary for me to be totally comfortable, but there are several wow factors that I can already share.

Panaroma view

I hope to share some images taken with the 5 Megapixel camera in panorama mode soon, today was kind of a drippy rainy day, and I didn't think people wanted to see a panorama of my desk! We'll be deep into the fall colors soon, so I'll have plenty of opportunity for nice pictures soon.

Teeter

Okay, this is kind of a silly thing, but the Teeter game is simply awesome. My kids are going to go crazy over it! I'm sure that the motion detection can be implemented in much more productive ways. For now, I'll enjoy maneuvering the ball around it's little obstacle course!

Touch Screen 

The screen is very nice and quite an improvement over my last phone (Samsung Blackjack) The touch feature seems to be suitable, although the keyboard is small and seems to create typing errors. This is no worse than any other touch phone I've tried though.

The only problem so far that I've experienced is with the web browser - it has faulted twice. However, the phone was nice enough to send a note off to Microsoft describing the problem. Maybe they'll be able to fix it! So yes, this is Windows Mobile 6.5! I'm assuming there will be the usually little tweaks to the OS in the next couple of months.

Yet to be determined is the battery life and other useability factors (screen in sunlight, GPS, etc) I'll keep posting as I go!
