Windows Phone Thoughts: Geek.com's Extensive Review of HTC's Wizard

"My quest to see if there is anything that can knock the Treo 650 out of my hands was recently helped out by David Weiniger, who offered to have a QTEK 9100 (HTC Wizard) sent to me from Sound Solutions. I was surprised by his e-mail since the QTEK is still a couple weeks away from full release, but I realized that the unit I was sent is a pre-production device, and the splash screen even states that it is a test unit. As a result, the QTEK 9100 had a few issues, and I was ready to give it 3.5 Geekheads (out of 5) for Quality and 4.5 for Geekness. David then told me he was shipping out an I-mate K-JAM production model, so I decided to be fair to the device and wait until I could verify whether the issues I was seeing were related to the test device. I am extremely pleased to say that the K-JAM production model is much better, and I may have found a replacement for my Treo 650."



Matt Miller, over from Geek.com, details a Treo 650 user's experience with both a preproduction and a release-quality Wizard. It's a long but excellent and thorough review -- just the kind I like -- with lots of pictures, screenshots and personal experiences. After reading this, I really want a Wizard; the only thing holding me back is the miniSD slot. If you're interested, you ought to take a look. Oh, and give him some feedback on equivalent applications on the Windows Mobile platform -- amongst others, he doesn't know of a good backup app. I wonder what you guys would suggest. :P
