HTC Touch HD user review

Now before i begin this review I must confess to being a technophile. I love all things technical and modern which means that i tend to gravitate towards high end devices. I had been looking for a new device and I began the intensive process of seeking a new ~ahem~ assistant.
Upon seeing the HTC touch HD i was immediately impressed by its looks. I had considerd HTC before with their tytn II but was put off by a device that didnt have any style whatsoever. Not with the Touch HD. The device is simply gorgeous to look at and has a look and design that will age very well indeed. I always demand both power and looks. I purchased it there and then. Now lets look at the device in a little more detail.

*Packaging*
The HD comes in a very simple box which when opened has the device out on the top waiting for you to look at. All its accessories are underneath in a well constructed and thought out manner. Everything was there from an extra stylus to a nice cloth pouch to protect the HD when in your pocket.

*Features*
Now the HD is an attempt to marry the functionality and power of the Windows Mobile OS with the prowness of a multimedia titan. And for the most part it succeeds.

We have a 5 megapixel auto focus camera.
800×480 WVGA screen (touch screen interface)
528mhz qualcomm CPU
3D accelerator with 64mb dedicated memory
300mb free space (varies according to market)
3G/HSDPA at 7.2mbps
8gig Micro SD memory card (varies according to market)
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
Intergrated GPS
Wifi
Bluetooth
and the list goes on and on…

As you can see the HD is certainly not short changed in the features department. lets see how it all adds up in its perfomance

*performance*

HTC are attempting to lure more than just the technophile with this device. They are trying to appeal to business types as well who after working hard also like to play hard and the features point that out. I used this device extensively for email and word processing as well as viewing various documents and for its music player and camera and more!. No matter what task I threw at it the HD managed to complete it without any fuss or complaints. It seamlessly accessed my remote desktop, pop email, played my 720×480 movies (DVD resolution! at 1.5mbps bitrate), guided me home with its gps (Navigation software sold seperately) captured my overseas trips with its camera and because its running windows it has literally thousands of add on programs that can truly tailor the device to your needs. The device is also easy to navigate using HTC’s touch Flo 3D but occasionally you need to delve into windows mobile which i think will be complicated for the uninitiated. Its battery should give you two days of intensive use. Its video capabilities are rather poor compared to other devices in this class but they are adequate and will get the job done. Overall. It impressed in this department.
*look and feel*

The HD supposedly has a scratch resistent screen but time will tell how it fares. The screen however is a fingerprint magnet and you’ll find yourself wiping it constantly. I recommend that one uses the screen protector which comes in the package. The back of the device has a soft touch high quality plastic back cover which is almost immune to fingerprints. The matte black finish on the device its prone to scuffing, scratching and peeling so build quality in some cases isnt the best. keeping it in the carry pouch is best. The HD is a wide device and rather tall but is thin and has rounded egdes to make it more comfortable. I have very large hands so i find it easy to use but people with smaller hands will struggle, typing can be a problem as holding the device and inputing text though possible can be difficult with one hand. Overall. A solid device.

*conclusion*

All in all I find the Touch HD to be a brilliant device and very competant at what it does (which is everything, except make you tea..) its price though high is well worth it if you truly want a device that can intergrate into almost every part of your life. Whatever you need from technology the touch HD will provide it and more. Its is fast, efficient and looks very good. It also has a surprisingly good camera (no flash) but a poor video camera (low resolution) and an amazing spread of abilities both when in the office and beyond. I own one. And I love it. highly recommended to those who need a powerful device for both their work and play. this is mobile computing at its very best.

The Sense interface is highly customizable, since the multiple screens, you can add the contacts you call most often, follow the updates of social networks and save different profiles because the phone is more functional use of the business or leisure time . Useful in navigating the Internet is the smart zoom, which magnifies the images when they hear a double touch.

Text messages, those e-mail updates and social networking are viewed on the tab of each contact. The phone runs smoothly different mail accounts, but navigating the Internet can not take advantage of the opportunity to access the network from Wi-Fi access points, as well as missing features related to navigation, due to its absence in the device. As a hub for social networking is integrated FriendStream.

The camera of HTC Smart has three megapixels of resolution and has no autofocus. E ‘, however, this flash for shooting in low light conditions. Photos can easily be shared via Bluetooth, on social networking sites or sent by e-mail or MMS. Using the same camera, the phone also runs video.

The main differences compared to a smartphone more expensive than the same manufacturer are the absence of Wi-Fi, GPS that you can not access the wide range of applications for the Android operating system.


HTC Smart user review

In my opinion the HTC Smart is an amazing phone, however as it having being branded with the smart phone title it just under performs. The major let down being that currently there are no applications available for this phone and until further news it doesn’t look like there will be. With it also having a 300MHz processor it can cope fine with running different built in applications, but soon as you run too many at once it struggles. For example running music and browsing the Internet, we soon see that either the keyboard become laggy and the input slows down or the music track stops or starts to skip. The other thing about the keyboard input is that the buttons are rather small, but are still able to pick up on what you are pressing. The full keyboard would be better off for a child or someone with small finger tips.

On the other hand though, there are plenty of good things about the HTC. Like how strong the touchscreen actually is, it is very durable and will definitely do the job without much damage for a reasonable amount of time, depending on how much wear and tear it gets put through. The way it fits and feels in your hand is another good point about the HTC Smart, it rests comfortably in your hand which then allows you to command the touch screen with your thumb. Also it has a 3.5mm audio jack for all standard earphones which is also a plus just in case you lose the standard pair of earphones you receive in the box. The 3 Mega pixel camera takes very good photo’s, also with it having a flash function you are able to take pictures in the dimmer lit areas.

The phone also has HTC Sense and a very impressive friend stream which allows you to combine your facebook and twitter account all into one. From there you can update your status, like posts, comment on posts and upload photo’s. The Freind stream also plays a part in the Phonebook that is installed on the phone allowing you to link your contacts facebook to their contact information, proving useful if you want to see a picture of them when they text you or ring you.
Last but not least i would like to talk about the Weather update function available on the phone as well as the memory. On the HTC Smart you are able to check the weather in any city for the next 5 days at any time. Simply slide the home screen along to the Weather application then tap it and it will update and tell you the temperature at the exact time, what the weather is like. this can be a very useful feature while on the move or while planning a day trip out.

Moving onto the memory available in the HTC smart. The Smart has 256mb pre-installed memory which is handy but wont last long for taking pictures. It also supports a Micro SD card (up too 32GB) which is a lot more helpful and its something you would really expect from a phone like this.
All in all i think HTC achieved what they set out to do by creating an affordable Smart phone. yeah it might have some draw backs but for £100 on pay as you go, you can’t really go wrong.

Motorola Milestone user review

I was looking for a mobile phone with a keyboard as well as a touch screen since I got tired of struggling to write a text with my previous touch phone.
My requirements were simple a good organiser and a good keyboard. The milestone had both so it seemed like the obvious choice.

When I got the phone I had to spent a couple of hours to set up my contacts since it is not really compatible with exported lists from Nokia but the benefits were amazing. When you set up a contact in your phone it automatically gets transferred to your gmail account and vice versa. The same goes for the calendar which is amazing in terms of organizing you get an email you immediately copy paste you details in your google calendar and you will never miss a meeting again!
However the downfall is its maker Motorola I had two phones the first with a back speaker problem which they replaced and I got a second one which one button of the keyboard is not working properly (it’s the up button which I never use so I didn’t bother getting it replaced). Their updates procedure is even worst the updates for Milestone take months to get released compared to its droid (American counterpart). Further on the Milestone (unlike the droid) is not a rooted phone so no custom applications unless you are prepared to void your warranty. This is not something mentioned in other reviews I read so you should consider that if you are into that sort of things.
Overall a good phone.

Acer A1 Liquid user review

Acquired in mid-December for € 350: It was love at first sight.

Android is an operating system for mobile devices (PDAs, netbooks, smartphones, tablet, etc. ..) based on the Linux kernel, and developed in collaboration with Google.
I believe that in future the Android platform will be able to compete with iPhone, because its versatility, the fact that it is open source and terminals that can run on more powerful and more competitive prices, give it a position in my view, net advantage over the iPhone by.

Despite the spread of Android is still in its infancy, there are already numerous applications developed not only by the software house but also from simple users, downloadable (many free) from the market.
This makes us understand what and how extensive are the potential of this platform.
After this little introduction du Android and necessary change to speak of the subject of my review.

The acer A1 Liquid is placed in high-end terminals Android (mount version 1.6, will arrive soon 2.0), a performance level is now less likely that only the Motorola Milestone (499 € from mediaworld) but in my opinion surpasses significantly to the value for money.

Already the first time we see the excellent speed of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, about ten seconds and the phone is turned on and ready for use. Turn to the menu or use the applications is very pleasant, because it shows excellent fluidity.

Widgets are very nice graphically, highly functional and highly personalized by the user. The large 3.5-inch WVGA definition is truly spectacular: bright and extremely vivid colors.

The materials are good and the design is nice, typically acer! The size and weight are virtually identical (in a bit more) to those of the ‘iPhone. 5Mpixel the camera does its job without excelling particularly, but it is more than enough in both photos in the video. lacks the flash, not a small flaw.

Providing an internet connection (via wi-fi or mobile network), we can instantly access the market, from which we can download a large number of applications in every category, the organization is good but it is still far from the levels of ‘App Store for iPhone, especially in the area of research and feedback (the stars are few). However I am confident that will be improved with the update will happen soon.

One of the few faults that I found (IMHO of course) on Liquid is the onscreen keyboard, considerably more awkward of the physical keyboard present in other terminals in the same category.

You can use either the classic keyboard or by phone with T9, turning horizontally, a Qwerty keyboard. Viewing the 3.5 “uses a capacitive TECHNOLOGY, like the iPhone display (which allows the use of fingers and not the stylus) but not so precise, sometimes it happens to miss a few letters in typing and sms email.

Nokia C6 user review

Was lucky enough to pick up one of these little gems “Sim Free” and having owned the phone for a week am yet to find a single fault with it.
For around £240 you get a lot of features including a responsive touch screen, slide out QWERTY keyboard, 5MP camera, excellent music player and free voice guided Satellite Navigation for life !!

A few reviews I have found online suggest the phone looks and feels cheap. I would say that’s absolute nonsense. Feels very robust and the slide mechanism is as good as on any phone I have owned so far.
If I was to have one minor niggle it would be that the LED flash on camera isn’t the strongest. However, I didnt buy it to replace my digital camera so that’s a very minor concern indeed.

I can see me having this one for a long time to come.

HTC Magic user review

Based on the appearance, I saw this phone as a collaboration of the BlackBerry and the iPhone due to it’s rollerball navigation as well as the touchscreen technology.
I’ve never bought an Android phone before and I’ve got to tell you, they definitely won’t let you down!

The interface is surprisingly quick and simple to use, there’s the centre screen and a screen to the left and right when dragged in that direction. In which, shortcuts to applications, widgets, customised themes can be placed.
There’s literally 1000’s of free apps and games too just like the iPhone.
A real intriguing app for me was the metal detector, it’s definitely one to show off to your mates!

As it’s a Google phone, it comes with Google Maps, which is excellent. It runs just as well as it does on your laptop/computer. It’s even compatible with the street view.
Another Google feature which can be downloaded in the App Market is Google Sky Map in which it uses the in built GPS and you simply aim your phone around the sky whilst looking at your screen and it’ll accurately provide you with where all the stars/constellations/planets are!

The only thing I could say could possibly do with improving is the camera, it really could do with a xenon or LED flash, however on a good note, when taking a photo in daylight, upload it to your laptop/pc and you’ll see how surprisingly good the quality is for a 3.2 megapixel camera.
The battery life is pretty good. With average use, the phone should last you around 3 days before having to charge up again. Charging time is unbelievably fast, it only needs to be on the mains for about an hour before it’s fully charged and ready to go.

I hope this review has been of some help to you, as I say, the HTC Magic will definitely not let you down!

HTC Touch Diamond2 user review

A wonderful experience, an excellent unit as a whole, really top of the line HTC. It looks simple but professional. The hardware is combined with an excellent software that can exploit the full potential of such a handheld.

I would say that the Touch is comparable to that of the iPhone (if not more accurate). The web browsing is also great, only regret the lack of Flash support … As for the camera, I think that a handheld like this should not be bought to use 8-megapixel camera but comunuqe are useful for snapshots on the fly when not to hand his camera. The audio is good. The rotation of the display but does not yet reach the levels of Apple is slower and only works counterclockwise, a sin … But the use of the content does not lose too much. With regard to e-mail, still no one beats Nokia, it is to say, D
If you continue to mount HTC Windows Mobile handheld in its belief that dominate the market: a great combination. Excellent work!

After some months I can say with knowledge that this terminal has changed my life. I am a student and freelancer and finding it very rarely at home for academic issues I need to be able to communicate with all my clients in real time. I had a popular touch screen mobile phone (not iPhone, it is clear) that seemed to meet my needs but the writing was far too slow and cumbersome navigation between menus, not to mention software email management really obsolete.

So I switched to Blackberry (even after having carefully assessed the long-emblazoned iPhone) and I must say it was like going from one point to a Ferrari.

In addition to normal calls, this terminal through self-installing software allowed me to:
1) Use MSN Messenger
2) Use GTalk (Gmail Chat)
3) Use Facebook


These three applications combined with excellent writing system with full QWERTY keyboard (fast) lets me keep in touch with everyone.
The phone will intergrate perfectly synchronizing with Gmail through IMAP, if I read or delete an email on my phone on my account will also already read or deleted on your PC. Unfortunately at present you can not do the opposite (or read from a PC and marked read on the phone) but never mind, since I use this phone on the PC much less and less obsessive ;-)

The GPS is useful if combined with some free program like Amaze and I have to use some time in the city, although it has not replaced my Tom Tom, for obvious reasons, is higher.
The navigation system is among the menu is perfect thanks to the tried and tested Blackberry trackball that acts as a mouse and is as sensitive as practical.

The screen is spectacular, I see movies on trips and the quality is sensational.
The only drawback to the camera that, even with flash, autofocus and did not do mediocre pictures. It ‘clear that those who buy a terminal would not have in mind the camera, however you could do better.

Very comfortable, finally, the case included that has a proximity sensor: when the phone is in custody can be made to vibrate or sound an alarm only different, higher, lower … in short, is like having two different modes that change only by placing the phone into or out of its leather case. Not bad, except that the USB plug to recharge the phone is hidden by that case forcing me to load the phone out of its protective skin.
The price is high, but worth the money.

A note, finally, the strength and battery. The body is not indestructible: I dropped the phone a few inches tall and has already been slightly damaged on one edge (nothing serious, but I know). At the same time, however, thanks to my clumsy I could end it submerged in a large puddle. After coining a new form of blasphemy I realized that the phone had not suffered damage because of its leather case that has secure enough.
Regarding the battery only for those who used it to call time arrives to 4 days of standby time. Obviously, no one buys a BlackBerry for calls only, so I can say that with a moderate use up to 3 days to get 2 in case they become professional use with Wi-Fi on and 3 or 4 applications always open. Chargers still in stock, then.


BlackBerry Bold 9000 user review

I recently switched to this BlackBerry Bold, this comes from another BB (the ‘bends 8300 to be precise) and I would say that the jump in quality (for the better, of course) is notevole.Lo screen is large and the colors are outstanding. I have friends who have the Iphone, great product (especially for leisure, in my opinion), but I think for anyone who uses this type of terminal for his profession there is no comparison, BB Bold is the right choice, ability to handle up to 10 email accounts, downloads and manage attachments. The keyboard is a convenience crazy as the famous scroll wheel with which the pages, menus are simple and intuitive to use, the only “problem” is that capiatatomi changing the password on a computer account + mail then this was not recognized by the phone and that account does not send or receive messages through the terminal + Bb. I tried again to enter your old password to see if the terminal re-approve the account, but nothing got resolved and all logging on Bb and remaking a new record for that account.

The only flaw of this terminal is, in my opinion the camera, not at ‘high level of product quality and immgini are not brilliant, however, to remember something for both business and leisure that is good +. Also very useful function voice recorder for taking voice notes might be produced in seguito.Per fans of social networks like facebook or messenger, well no problem if you can not help it even when site in front of your home PC.
The box is truly rich and over the terminal and user manual will also find the battery charger with travel adapters so not to risk damaging your battery voltages wrong and affect the use and / or duration, stereo headset, CD with software to connect the BB to the PC and send or transmit data to and from your PC.
In your BB Bold can also download more than your fote, videos and your music making your perfect travel companion for both business and leisure.

The software supplied with the Psion handheld has always been one of the most complete for an average use of the handheld. It includes more applications that are used both for business or simple home use machine. Many of these were taken for inspiration to do new programs, shareware or freeware downloaded via the Internet that will complement the rich software bundle.


Let’s see in detail the characteristics of each program.
The Data Base is named ARCHIVES, is present on both models and serves to store data such as addresses, customers, various collections. There are the normal functions of each database that you respect as research records, sorting and exporting. Ability to insert images, tables, etc..
Series 5mx is also present in the database that handles special CONTACTS exclusively contacts in the form of VCARD in Outlook. And ‘possible to make interfacing with the mail program to EMail Messagesuite for e-mail addresses and GSM phones compatible.
Also in Sieres 5mx was added jotter program which allows the insertion of text or graphics mode sketch. This program can also plug in Series5 but taken from the network.
The agenda is the strong point of Psion. Complete each part allows the inclusion of any appointment, anniversaries, lists the “DA_FARE” of the day and temporary appointments, be confirmed. Display data by Year, Day, week or month, alarm functions and printing. Inserting recurring appointments and, importantly, sync with Lotus Organizer (included with the purchase of the Series 5) and Outlook with some more difficult.


Psion Series5: Internet connection.

Series 5mx was included in the email program directly to ROM. For customers of S5 normal install it from CD or better, using a file from the Psion site where you can download the version 1.52F. Email clearly serves to manage e-mail and FAX. In the version for 5mx you can manage some GSM phones allow sending of SMS messages.
Series5 Browser is a mess. Does not allow the display of FRAMES and JAVA. That provided in the CD 5mx compensates these shortcomings but can not be used in Series5. Lately has been around for a new browser “Opera” which, in beta testing, allows a full view of all web pages.

Psion Series5 Word Processing.

It’s called head and is a wordprocessor. It offers good compatibility with programs for the PC (M $ Word) allowing the insertion of objects such as graphs or tables of calculation, allows the spelling of the document and the use of fonts.

The spreadsheet is a spreadsheet with the ability to create explanatory graphics. In my opinion not a good program, especially because it always offers a comparison with a sacred monster, such as Excel. It ‘very useful if you use very light, maybe just simple tabular calculations because the addition of functions differs a lot from other spreadsheet programs. In this version the 5mx is now possible to order the selected data is totally missing in Series 5.
The program used to record the sound recording and sound needed to create the alarm. It can also be used to record “voice notes”.

The program SpellCheck Italian (or check) allows you to check the spelling of words as anagrams and find missing letters to solving crosswords.
Maps: To view a map with the entire planet earth and set the home city and then get news about the time zone, the code number and distance of every city.

Time: displays, sets and maintains time and alarm the Psion, including or ing office.
Calculator: CALC is the program included in the budget calculator software Series5; consists of two screens “desk” and “scientific.” These are two separate calculators used simultaneously without interference.

Composition: Series5 manages admirably to generate DTMF tones for the settlement of telephone numbers. E ‘numbers can fish from the agenda or otherwise address book simply dial the number manually by typing and sending the call approaching the Psion to the receiver of the phone.
Graphics: allows you to create images of different types exploiting the clip-art included.

Games: this is the game bombs, a remake of Minesweeper.
Comms is communicating with TTY, VT100 terminal emulation through the use of scripts.

OPL programming: the Series5 is programmable and has an editor (Program), to implement programs with OPL, the integrated programming language.
PSi-win is a bundled software of Psion5 that allows connection to a PC running Windows. The Series 5mx is equipped with version 2.3

The Mio P560 is a versatile device, because besides being a navigator is a handheld, as it has Windows Mobile 6 and Mobile Office application that allows you to edit and create documents in popular formats. The preloaded maps are those of 24 European countries, the screen is touchscreen, TMC has the multimedia features like MP3 and video player and document viewer.


MIO P560 GPS Design

My P560’s design is very simple standard, with square lines and a few buttons on the body. Measure 72 mm wide, 115 mm high and 17.8 mm thick, while the weight is 170 grams. The navigator has, then, a 3.5-inch touchscreen TFT display with a resolution of 320×240 pixels and can display 65,000 colors.

MIO P560 GPS Features and Capabilities

The Mio P560 is a complete and functional device called navigator is definitely an understatement. In fact, besides offering the ability to calculate its path, according to various parameters, also provides features worthy of a real handheld. Like all GPS, however, this device is ready, simply remove it from the pack and start using it.

Regarding the technical specifications, this browser is based on the 2440 Samsung 400 Mhz processor and has a memory of 512 MB ROM and 128 MB of RAM, with the possibility to expand the memory via SD or MMC card, then the system OS is installed on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0. Operation is very simple, the screen is touchscreen and very broad, and with brightness adjustment.

Turning to the maps on my P560 are the maps of 24 European countries but it is obviously possible to buy more. The SiRF Star III GPS antenna can also more easily intercept satellite signals, a calculation of the route immediately. Among other things, the P560 is compatible with the May part of Windows Mobile 6 navigation software. is for navigation on road and off.

During the journey, then, the Navigator provides all the necessary information, such as time of arrival, distance, battery power and the state of various signals. Also, a very interesting feature is the TMC antenna that can receive real-time traffic information and calculate a different path.

As anticipated, however, this is a very complete model, in fact my P560 is also equipped with access to all Microsoft Office applications, therefore, can be prepared, for example, PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, edit or create Excel spreadsheets. You can also synchronize contacts and calendar to Outlook. Other features include a calculator, calendar and events. Very interesting is the presence of the USB port and Wi-Fi connectivity.

MIO P560 GPS user review

Hello everyone, I state that I do not have this product but I know enough, because my friend has bought and we tried for a trip towards the French Riviera.


The brand is “MY” second company in Italy and fourth in Europe in the production of navigation systems with integrated GPS receiver.
From about a year the brand launched in the Italian market a new range of PDAs with integrated GPS navigation systems’ All-in-One ‘and Smartphones that have as main features a compact design and engaging technology, mutilfunzionalita’ and simplicity ‘use of dedicated men and women of all ages’, to use for business and leisure.
Currently the best model of this brand appears to be the GPS C710 Mitac one of the new models that are fundamentally different to its compact size and number of integrated functions.
But tonight we talk about my P560.
Here are the main technical characteristics:

  • Model P560
  • Announced in August 2007
  • Display Type TFT 3.5-inch touchscreen
  • Display resolution 320×240 pixels
  • Display 65,535 colors
  • Type GPS reception
  • Internal memory [MB] 64
  • The external memory slot
  • Secure Digital expansion slot
  • Internal hard drive No.
  • Hard Drive Not present
  • Alerts voice navigation
  • Access Connections
  • MP3 Player No
  • No audio book player
  • View photos No
  • The Integrated Antenna
  • Built-in Speaker Yes
  • Lithium Battery 1350 mAh

My advice: boys the current cost of this deal is around 350 euros even though some stores with the special deals you can find even 330 or 320. I think the game is not worth the candle, because at the same price on the market are much more functional PDA (WITH MP3 PLAYER DIGITAL PHOTO INCLUDED) of other brands such as Acer. The ease of using the browser then you can not say anything it is much easier to enter your destination, enter your favorite routes and arrive at your destination. Then the “my” offers good technical support online and can change the entries in the surf, the warranty if I remember is two years, but products that are difficult to break by themselves. The quality is still what it is!

Conclusion: If you want to buy a great navigator but make up only browser or have the calculator or the integrated address book this is definitely for you, but if you intend to buy a navigator with the main functions of a handheld beware the great! !
The P560 is equipped, however, including multimedia features, such as MP3 player, video player and image viewer, so we can speak of a true multimedia device. As for autonomy, the navigator has a rechargeable lithium 1300 mAh. Finally, the contents of the package includes portadispositivo, the device mounted on the windscreen, USB cable and car charger.
