I've had enough!
After using my Tattoo for a few days only, I'm selling!

Main reason: bluetooth

I'm going for the T Mobile Pulse
I've already used this and as far as I can see, it's the SAME phone - but with some extras (like stylus and light with camera)...
BUT, the biggest thing is: it comes with Android 2.1

One big big major thing the Tattoo has going for it is the 4 buttons above the big round one - the fact these are physical ones, makes it much much more friendly and a pleasure to use - alas... all it's other deficiencies really do let it down

don't get me wrong: i love the tattoo 99% :)

bluetooth problem: it won't connect to my thbbury car kit
i cant use it in that case

i googled and found that the blue tooth capabilities of the phone are PANTS! (polite way of saying sh*t)

it seems as thought htc have on purpose tried to 'dumb' down the phone and purposely reduce its capabilities
there's absolutely no reason why it should be sooo lacking

+ is android 1.6
from what i've read android 2.1 is much better, much smooth and faster

i would have stuck with it regardless if it didn't have bluetooth probs

one big it has over the mini pulse is the buttons above big button
using the touch screen equivalent u have on the mini pulse sucks!

hope that helps
