Agreed. I have an HTC Dream and it's pretty cool, but it's definitely dated. The Milestone, by all accounts, is a great device all round. You might want to wait around and see what gets released. There have been rumours of HTC releasing another Android with a hardware keyboard as well as some nice rumours with photos of the Motorola Droid 2 (the follow-up of the Droid/Milestone)
The problem with the Droid (Milestone) is that the keyboard is pretty bad. It's really not a great keyboard. And this isn't just my opinion, this is the general consensus (which excludes, of course, the biased Droid owners that are in denial )
Meh, swype is an acquired taste. I gave it a shot but I never liked it.
Have you guys given Swiftkey a shot? Its text prediction is borderline unbelievable. In fact, in the hour or so that I spent using it, I did 259 keystrokes LESS than what I would normally do, which made my text entry 34% more efficient. It's really something to be experienced
Motorola Milestone... qwerty keyboard? thats so last year, or the year before, or around that time a while ago...but you get were i'm going with this...
The Epic 4G is a WiMax phone (hence the '4G'). It's what the US Sprint network gets instead of the Galaxy S that the rest have. But maybe we'll get a GSM version some time.
