great review. phone was able to handle everything they threw at it. i just hope the final pricing is in the $350 range off contract.

EXCUSE ME!? No live wallpapers!? I could have sworn Android came with them preinstalled.

huh? i coulda swore i heard him say no live wallpapers in the review... double checking ><


EDIT: yea was from the Cnet review my bad... quote from Cnet im an android noob fyi so i might have read it wrong

"You can even switch "Scenes" to customize another set of panels based on themes--such as work, play, travel, and social. Though the Aria supports the Leap screen that shows a thumbnail view of all your home screens, it does not offer live wallpapers"

Yeah you can see the default live wallpaper in the AndroidCentral unboxing/hands on video that HTC uses.

Found this one another website:

It doesn't come with any preloaded (live wallpapers) but I'm sure once rooted or using aftermarket homescreen you could enable it.

When watching the video review of one of these recent ones I noticed that the wallpaper that was usually LIVE wasn't actually moving. It just looked like a static wallpaper.
