The QiJi i6, is not only the world’s most awkawdly named device, it is also a device that supports dual operating systems. I think the idea of dual operating systems is almost a pipe dream. Have you tried parallels? It’s great in theory but in practice it makes your computer slower than my grandmother without her walker. The device is sporting a 624MHz processor, 256MB of ROM, 128MB of RAM, a trackball, and on-screen keyboard. What 2 OS’s would you use?

TELUS has a section of their website where you can input your favorite elements of a mobile device and it will tell you what the best device is for what you want. What’s really funny about it is that they took the “monkey and a typewriter” theme but changed it to “meerkat and change-o-tron.” So I wanted to see what phone they would give me if I just turned all the settings to full blast. After a long Rube Goldberg experience, you get a suggestion. TELUS recommended me the HTC Touch Pro. Woohoo!

The Sony XPERIA X1 Panels have been getting a lot of Internet attention due to their ability to manage many different kinds of functions on the device. With Panels, you can manage your apps, sites and files with a visual and touch-friendly user interface. Well it seems the HTC Touch HD can have this user interface too. So if you’re not interested in the Touch HD’s UI, consider watching the movie and finding a new system.

The browser does hiccup a bit from time to time on my device but I would put the blame squarely on my device in that case (it's geriatric, heh). I'm a big fan of the browser, even besides flash and all that. It's got a really useful home screen, a great bookmarking layout, and the zoom and view functions are the best I've seen.
Actaully i was looking for sharing the Internet on my laptop to be used on my mobile. I'm using O2 XDA atom life.
