"A lot of problems...but still worth the money"

by thomas lai on July 17, 2009

Pros: -GPS
-lots of ram
- landscape, makes sense for work and surfing but...(see below)

Cons: -crashes often (note, I install a bunch of software)
- stupid native landscape prevents a LOT of games, most games are240*320, this device is 320*240
-Screen is "small" compared to my old device, but I is big enough for my use
- NO headphone jack
Summary: ok....
Bottom line
1.So...the damn device crashes a lot, but it is probably due to programs I installed. (pocket plus, sktools, blah blah blah)
2. GPS takes A LONG TIME to connect, but after the first connect, it lititery takes SECONDS to reconnect again, so I'm fine (used googlemaps/tomtom). So GPS works and is good enough for my taste.
3. no headphone jack (does come with free headset using mini usb port btw), I use bluetooth headset so I"m fine, but should note this (S9-HD, very high quality music, good enough for me)
4. Some people complain about call quality/sound volume...I thought it was fine (after updating the rom from HP's site), ring was ok for me....
5. Camera...pretty cool, but it is SLOW...the burst mode is a joke, takes a few seconds to take a picture, so it is pointless....but the parama mode is nice
6. I can use my 8gb microSD with no problems
7. My old bluetooth foldable keyboard doesn't work withy my phone...*%(#&^(*# apprentaly need a new model/firmware...damn hp....
8. really expensive....$500...I brought mine on newegg for 430, but still
9. UNLOCKED! so I can use it anywhere hopefully....(going to Canada soon, hope it works there -.-)
10. Keyboard is a nice idea, bit small, but it works.
11. RAM is NICE, a LOT, can install all my stuff that I really need without card (I still do instlal on card though...habit+save space :P)

I would give it a 8/10....
the crashes is REALLY ANNOYING, but I really do have a lot of programs install and most of them are system modifying programs....=trouble :P

Btw, forgot to note,
The battery life is good for me....
don't know why people complain about that...
Please don't forget...
It's not a PHONE, or SMARTPHONE....
it is a

POCKET PC WITH PHONE FUNCTION....
so I don't think it is fair to judge its battery life to phones....
I mean... This "phone" is almost a laptop....
You don't expect laptops to have long battery life do oyu?
