After one bad experience of forgetting an telecon that was held at night after office hours, I have decided to get myself a pda phone. I need my important emails & calendars (and also games :P) to be in my pocket anytime anywhere.
I was looking at 02, dopod and even asus at first when I was in Singapore the other weekend. 02, cool but overprice. Asus, cool functionality (name card reader it’s awesome) compare to others but it’s too bulky. Dopod is boring. When I am shopping ard 1U ( I bet you know which shop by now), I was being introduce to a very cool phone. It’s non other that HTC Touch™.
When I first touched the phone, well, its just another pda phone with sleek design. It’s not as heavy & bulky as other series of pda. Until JJ (the guy from the shop), show me what TouchFLO it’s all about, I was amazed. Let me show a video on what TouchFLO is all about.
What is cool about the phone. - TouchFLO, the interactivity between your finger and the phone is orgasmic - Phone mode comes with a mute feature. I can mute when dialing into telecom with my mobile now.. hehehehe.. - super light compare to other pdas - Windows Mobile 6 professional - it comes with push mail technology - also support wi-fi - it has all the standard features of a phone
Features * Dimensions: 99.9mm (L) x 58mm (W) x 13.9mm (T) * Weight: 112g with battery * 1GB microSD storage card included / 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM * 2.8” LCD touch screen with backlight, 240 x 320 dots resolution with 65,536 colours * Battery Life: Rechargeable Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 1100 mAh * Standby time: Up to 200 / Talk time: Up to 5 hours * Camera: 2.0 mega-pixel CMOS colour camera * Windows Mobile 6 Professional with Direct Push Email and HTML email support * Wireless Connectivity: GSM/GPRS/EDGE Tri-band: 900, 1800,1900, Wi-Fi: IEEE 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.0 * Choice of two colors at launch - elegant soft black or alluring wasabi green
Whats not so cool about the phone - it doesn’t comes with flash. So you cant take photo in the cluc - it’s not a 3G phone. I don’t fancy 3G. wi-fi is good enough for me. It’s also one of the reason why it is smaller & cheaper compare to pda with 3G capability. - slower processor compare to others of the same price. I just need my outlook and calendar, so it’s still alright to me. If you are hardcore user, I won’t recommend this phone. Btw, it’s proven that TI's OMAP™ 850 has longer talk time compare to other PDA with Intel Procesor. - no GPS. There’s only pre-install software to connect to external GPS device
After all, its just a PDA phone, don’t expect it to perform what a core 2 duo processor can do. According to JJ, HTC = dopod. Not very sure on that but HTC definitely came out with a very fantastic user experience phone. Well, it might still take some time for iphone to reach our shore. Currently u can get it in US but the phone is tied to AT&T network so u cant use the phone on local telco unless you bring your phone to lowyatt for some tweak. Hence, I m giving TouchFLO a shot. Definitely a good buy.
