i use (used) opera mobile for my phone, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than IE 5 mobile ! BUT what i see in the video is zooming, and IE doesnt zoom in realtime like that, its either fit to screen, desktop, 1 column SO im thinking possibly it has some different updates or something, who knows there seems ot be a shit load of custom 3d apps from HTC on this phone, like viewing contacts and playing music, cuz we all know the traditional contacts/media player/ photo gallery on windows mobile…dick for the most part have you used 6.1 yet? i had 6 only… i dont care wats on the phone when i leave the store cuz its all getting erased anyways yano… @ ninetyonetwo yea it supports 3g ofc , the iphone didnt because of software restrictions so they felt the need to make it a big deal they added 3g support lol… OH ya there is also a youtube button/app on that phone… which is making me wonder… flash support finally? because the only way i was able to watch youtube on windows based phones was through the use of VTAP which is/was an AWESOME program, not only did it search and play vids from youtube but hundereds or thousands of other video sites also !! like [break.com](http://break.com) and shit like that ! ---

ok check it out the phones come with opera (nice i dont have to buy it again :D) **Other features seem to be similar to the GSM model and identical for both, including 2.8” VGA display, 3.2MP autofocus camera, TouchFLO 3D, Opera browser and YouTube client.** SOURCE: [http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/More-information-on-Touch-Diamond-and-Raphael-for-both-Sprint-and-Verizon-article-a\_3021.html](http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/More-information-on-Touch-Diamond-and-Raphael-for-both-Sprint-and-Verizon-article-a_3021.html) ps. if u read that info on the lnik , lol sucks for verizon users, half the ram, slower cpu, no accelerometer and no alum casing oh well 😃 And a youtube client is shown also that explains alot so dont worry about IE 5 mobile, apparently it sucks enough to where they are releasing the phones with opera LOL ---

But even the Tilt can’t handle the amount of flash graphics the rom has, it slows down a little sometimes. ---

What have you guys heard about the HTC Dream? I guess it’s going to be running Android. Personally I’d rather run a linux based OS (except for apple) like Android, it just runs so much smoother than Windows. Supposedly we should get some info released to the public in September, possibly a release date. ---

I’ve been using Opera on my Tilit now with the new rom, and it’s way better than IE. I’ve used Opera once before maybe a couple years back on my 8125 but the new Opera is sooo much better. If you don’t have Opera on your phones I suggest trying it out. It loads pages faster and it has tabs. ---

That crackberry looks nice, really fast too! I had the curve when it first came out but then picked up the Tilt since I like touch screens. Depends on what you use the phone for? Personal or Business? IMHO Blackberry’s are the phone/pda for the business professional, besides the Blackberry email services outages it’s the most reliable.
