Well, then, let me be the first to go otherwise. Back in 2004, I used the Motorola Razr, switched to the Motorola SLVR, went to the BlackBerry 8700c, went to the Sony Ericsson w580i, went to the Blackberry 8800, then the BlackBerry 8820, went to the HTC Touch Pro (Fuze), and just gave it up for the BlackBerry Bold. Yeah, 8 phones in 4 years. Fun. I'm really demanding on my phones, and want them to perform up to par, if not better, at all times. With regards to the HTC, coming from Blackberries, there was no comparison. I stripped the ATT customization and packs, and reverted to a basic Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, and there was NO comparison whatsoever to any of the Berries in terms of device speed. The Fuze was much laggier, and overall, while the TouchScreen is nice to have, it simply wasn't worth sacrificing the usability of the device for that. I went through 6 (yes, I mean 6) Fuzes, just to make sure it wasn't just bad luck for me. After getting 6 Fuzes and spending 2 weeks with each (other than the 1 DOA that I got), I just couldn't live with it. Went and got the Bold two weeks ago, and cannot be happier.

It may just be me, but I see no comparison at all between these devices. Even though I stripped the ATT Bloat and used Advanced Config to give it a max speed boost, I'm sorry WinMo, you just didn't stand up to the test. RIM FTW!
