Senh: I don't get it. Why is it so much harder to make a white version? Are they trying to fix the antenna issue before shipping them? Someone enlighten me, please.

Senh: Very impressive. I wonder how the recent iphone 4 antenna issues affected sales. Still, gotta give it to Steve Jobs. The guy just keeps on creating one innovative product after another.

Senh: I like Steve Jobs, but I'm not sure if this is gonna do it. Will these bumper cases help with the reception problems? It's turning into a he-said/she-said type of thing. Jobs is not denying that there's a reception problem, but he says that all smartphones have that problem. I don't think this is the response that people are looking for. Meanwhile, the Droid X is sold out.

Senh: I wonder if they'll finally admit that the antenna was faulty and do a recall. There previous two excuses aren't cutting it (software bug and holding the phone differently). They're having a press conference, so maybe they'll finally admit the truth. This phone is just cursed. First, there were all those leaks, and now this. Google must be smiling.

Senh: They make good phones. It seems like they're coming out with a new Android phone every other week. I have the HD2 and is really happy with it, even though it's running Windows Mobile 6.5.

HTC's Sense UI runs on top of Windows Mobile 6.5 on the HD2, providing a better UI and convenient shortcuts to Windows Mobile apps. It's finger-friendly and hides most of WM 6.5's software and interface flaws. Sense UI is a slick and mostly well thought-out interface, but it has a few shortcomings of its own. On the home tab, the first screen you see when you power up the phone, the quick links to your favorite apps are limited to nine; the calendar contains only one entry; and there's no task list. Co0kie's Home Tab (CHT) fills these voids.
