More things have started to crop up that are making me realize why it is that I like Windows Mobile in general, and my Fuze in particular so much.
First of all, the memory on the Bold is killing me, and there's no way (that I can see) to easily keep tabs on the memory.
Then there's the camera, which is beyond horrible:

I kind of liked the trackball at first, but now I just find it annoying. The incessant scrolling is just not fun. And I tried using it to do some reading in bed last night and the scrolling sound started to sound like nails on a chalkboard.
Even though I was impressed with the applications I found, those were *all* the worthwhile applications I could find.
Navigation is not easy. There are 2 convenience keys, and the most logical use I could find for them was camera and task switcher. The ones you place on the homescreen are limited to 6, but only one is truly a "click" away- you must roll over the others to get to the one you want. At least with Windows Mobile you can tap what you need to get at.
Notifications- First of all that flashing LED is slowly driving me insane. Every moment it seems like something or the other is triggering it- and there's no way to know what except by turning it on. And once I wake the phone up, I have to find out which program has set it off: with Email, Facebook and SMS its straightforward enough, but if its Twitterberry, Beejive or any other thirdparty app, there's no end to the hunting. It seems odd to me that I can't roll my trackball onto the notification and open whichever app has placed it there:
I should be able to roll right onto that Beejive icon, but I've got to hunt down the app to open it and read the message.
No total silence? Why can't I select a profile that completely silences the Bold? I selected the 'Quiet' profile last night and was suprised to hear (loud) intro music when I opened up Word Mole. Any program that produced a sound continued to seemingly without any regard to my chosen profile.
