Lovely to hear from you Fraser … and thanks for the over view of the HTC. Sorry to hear about your lack of parties!

I currently use one of these:

… it’s a little bit of a Hairdresser’s Phone in looks, but functions pretty well. It is much more resilient than its predecessor the S710, which had silly rubbery bits that came off immediately. Plus the slide doesn’t feel like it’s going to break in a couple of days.

Windows Mobile 6.1 is as you’d expect, and it seems to crash less than previous incarnations. Haven’t had much chance to use the camera as I don’t go to that many parties these days.

Screen is nice and bright, but the number buttons are impossible to read in the dark, and they only illuminate after you’ve pressed one (as far as I can tell). They have a hard wearing cover so I doubt if they’ll disintegrate in two months (like the S710 did).
