Kaiser or Polaris may make me give up my beloved iPhone! Also a couple of questions

[cowboy1964]

I've been drooling over the specs for those two phones for months now. I love the iPhone but the limitations are starting to get on my nerves. I know Apple will be updating software in the next few months but even then I'm not sure they will solve all the issues. Apple made a major tactical error by not allowing third-party native apps. from the beginning, IMO. I know people will say Apple is targeting a different type of user but still I think Apple underestimated the importance of it. That's a whole 'nother thread though.

BTW, I found a review of the Kaiser with sample camera shots here. The camera looks pretty decent:

I just hope the Kaiser/Polaris have good battery life.

Couple of questions (I don't know WM6 at all really):

1) On stylus phones like the Kaiser is the stylus absolutely necessary or is it reasonably possible to just use your finger?

2) How customizable is the GUI in terms of navigation? I would love to have an iPhone style home page instead of the normal WM6 start menu.

1) It's supposed to have TouchFlo so finger use should be okay. Probably not as good as the iPhone, but still doable.

2) You'll probably need 2rd party apps like Wisbar Desktop. In terms of customizability, sky's the limit. http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/

Gotta have the toys! And anything that can help me make better use of my time is worth money to me. Time=Money, as they say.
