Ordered a T-Mobile Pulse when they had their big PAYG sale last week, and it's just turned up; few quick first impressions...
- Nice unit, good screen; sometimes needs quite firm prodding to pick up presses, possibly because it comes with some sort of screen protector that I've left on, people are reporting it's more responsive without
- I'm finding the on-screen keyboard really easy to use, even in portrait mode. Turned off the predictive text as it slowed things down a bit, even my chunky fingers mostly hit the right key
- GPS locked on fast, maybe 20-30 seconds
- ShopSavvy is a really nifty application (point the camera at a barcode, it looks up the cheapest prices both online and locally based on GPS), although...
- The barcode scanner is a bit frinky, and starts up completely black. You can coax it into life by pointing a really bright light source at the camera, but it's a bit of a pain; some posts at MoDaCo suggest there's a replacement file that can fix it, but I haven't started delving into the innards of the filesystem
- All in all, well chuffed for under £100!
