OK, here is my first sentence for HWR:



This was a mixture of cursive and block writing. It first recognizes the letters and then does word recognition. You don't have to use a special script like the old palm HWR. The neat part, you scratch a line through a word, and it deletes it. It was pretty slick.

The stylus also works as a precision pointer/mouse. And the pointer works as a "mouse" even off the screen. The little pointer follows it around.

Regular finger touching works very well, but some of the menus are pretty small. I have not yet tried any zooming functions.

The on board keyboard works much better than my WM 6.5 phone. Once you are in a text area, a little white tab appears off to the side of the screen. If you touch it, you can select keyboard or pen input. If you use the pen, it automatically brings up the writing input.

So far, I'm impressed. Again, an Ipad is needed for comparison.
