So its not a camera or an MP3 player? Big deal! Now if T-Mobile's website worked so I could buy the damn thing...

Is the screen really resistive? I was under the impression it was capacitive?

A call on the phone to T-Mobile's sales line has proved equally fruitless so far.

It's on the web site, I suppose there are stock issues or something at the moment.

The only reason I can think for overlooking this would be the lack of a compass. Android's a great platform for AR apps right now.

At this price point, if you're after an Android device, it's perfect. The feature set beats that of similarly priced competitors (it's usually GPS OR 3G at this price point) which makes it ultimately attractive.

The lack of compass shouldn't deter anyone, in my opinion. We all know to expect a half-baked sat-nav system when it's situated in a device to be used primarily as a phone. (Not to mention the data charges on PAYG!) That's what you have a separate sat-nav unit for anyway!

The only thing stopping me from going out to buy one now is the fact that's it's only on T-Mobile: they're not exactly praised for their marvellous coverage where I live! Unlike Vodafone on the other hand, who are fantastic (because of their excellent freedom packs as well as the coverage!). I think if Vodafone brought out something similar with an inclusive data package to cover the inevitable 3G addiction caused by such a device, they'd be onto a winner. Until then, I'll save for the Blackberry Storm, thanks!

Like I say, the main reason to have a compass on a phone isn't sat-nav, it's augmented reality. Android's the go-to platform for AR right now and this is the first Android handset that won't support it.

I think this is amaing for the price. It really doesn't skimp on any important features. My Hero has a compass and aside from trying it out for 10 mins when I got the phone I haven't touched it. Not really interested in AR. Downloaded Layar off the market but haven't looked at it yet. Be interesting to see how it compares to the HTC Tattoo.

T-Mobile Pulse availability on PAYG, Anna at online help answers me as follows:

GarethTS: There was a Buy Now link briefly on your site for the T-Mobile Pulse on PAYG that did not work.

Anna: It is temporarily discontinued on PAYG, and we do not know when and if it is going to be released on PAYG.

GarethTS: Oh that is interesting news!!

Engadget's just put up their review, and they say the handset's capacitive and has a compass. You might want to check into those two things. Also their camera's no better than yours, which is a shame, but I'm totally getting one if Engadget's right about the screen and compass.
