5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Anyone wanting GPS, Wi-Fi, 3.5G and a keypad or keyboard all built-in will just have to wait for the next version, which will likely arrive before the end of the year, if HTC is planning such a device. The scroll wheel does actually spin around in circles, but also lets you click in the standard four directions, with an ‘ok’ button in the middle. It’s useful to have the scroll wheel, but I’d have given it up for a keypad. As you’d expect, Windows Mobile 6 professional is included, which can handle MS Direct Push email and it has a 3.5G HDSPA 2100Mhz chipset (as a 3.6Mbps class device, not the faster 7.2Mbps standard). There’s 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, a 2.8-inch LCD screen, an FM radio, a 3.0 megapixel autofocus camera, a front mounted camera for video calls, a Qualcomm 400Mhz processor (as with the HTC Touch Dual), and a microSD slot (SD 2.0 compatible). So, what about the wildly varying talk times that are quoted, including what appears to be a mistake? Please read onto page 3. |
