More HTC wow!

Advantages: Thin but big, 1GHz processor, runs Windows, loads of extra software.
Disadvantages: A little too sensitive, Not as many colours on screen as other phone

...Well I got this phone and wow...Its big the screen is big, the processor inside is even bigger. Its hard to explain the smoothness of the phone once it has started, however compared to my iPhone it is smooth and that is saying something. With Windows Mobile 6.5 as the operating system the amount of software and customisation available is really out of this world. The fact that the HTC HD2 is quite smart, ie when you pick up the phone to answer a call the ring volume goes down. With lots of little touchs like this it makes the user experiance quite outstanding. The fact that the 1ghz processor inside really makes the whole phone run so smoothly. Add the fact that Windows Mobile 6.5 has a huge back catalog of programs most of which work without the need to adjust any advanced features to make it work, sort of put the other...

Review of HTC HD2

Review - The HTC Hero

Advantages: Too many to list in this small space...
Disadvantages: A little sluggish

... The HTC Hero I test and review a lot of mobile phones, but in a mobile phone market dominated by Apple, Blackberry, Samsung and Nokia, I can't help but have a soft spot for HTC; I think it is a British thing, a love for the underdog? But as much as I admire HTC, I can't help but worry that in trying to take on competitors like the iPhone their new HTC Hero is punching above its weight. So I turned it on to find out? Appearance When I was told that I was finally going to get my hands on HTC's latest handset, I thought I'd better do a bit of research? but when saw the publicity pictures I feared the worst? It looked a lot like its predecessor the T-Mobile G1, with that Jimmy Hill like chin. This was a bad start for me; I love the design of all of HTC's handsets, except one? the T-Mobile G1, so I wasn't expecting...

HTC Hero To The Rescue

Advantages: Well made, interface is surprisingly good, Android apps are excellent
Disadvantages: Battery life could be better, no bluetooth data transfer capability

...available on Orange. The choices were limited and having sustained a poor Blackberry experience for 18 months I was keen to explore new avenues. Luckily the HTC Hero presented itself to me as a viable option and despite having seen the television advertising campaign a couple of months prior and mocking it's cringe worthy 'Hero' branding I still took the plunge as it posed the most impressive package from the choices available to me. Out of the box: At this time I was still adamant that I wanted and IPhone and realised that the HTC Hero was easily fetching £300 on auction sites. I thought to myself "as soon as I take it out of the box I'll know whether to keep it or sell it for an IPhone". Indeed as I removed it from the box I immediately noticed how well built the phone is. It's of reassuring weight and the teflon finish of the Graphite...

Review of HTC Hero

Feel the Magic

Advantages: Internet, Apps
Disadvantages: Battery, Camera

...-LCD. It's touch responsive. Only with heat of your finger, not with a pen or stick. It's easy to use and quite responsive to the touch. ... Messaging ... It's a touchscreen and messaging is very straightforward on this. You have a QWERTY keyboard and you just tap away. The great thing about the messaging on HTC Magic is, it's saves all your messages that you sent or received by person like a conversation. This is great especially when you're like me and forgot if you already asked someone something. You can change the keyboard to other keyboard by downloading applications for example, Handcent Keyboard or Slidetype Keyboard. ... Browser ... This is just a standard feature on the phone. This allows you to go onto the internet through the Google Search Engine and gives you the full screen access to the internet. It allows you to...

Review of HTC Magic Google 2

Google

Advantages: Free
Disadvantages: None?

...Google is a great search engine that provides lists of websites, images, shopping, news, mail and more. Google is the best known search engine in the world wide web and has beat out all competition including Ask, Yahoo, Wefi, Windows Live Search and many more. To use google you type in your keyword of your search into the search bar and then a list of websites or images etc. Google can provide 1000's of results in less than a second, which is very impressive and really handy for when you are looking for a particular site, or websites that are based on certain topics. Google is a free service and makes its money through selling advertising space on the site, though the advertisements are relevent to searches they are not too in your face so they do not bother users and could be very helpful for businesses. Google is not only...

Google

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...Will this next review is about the world's most famous one letter word, "Google". Ive been meaning to write a review about Google for some time now, and I guess it was about time I started doing one. I think like most people around the world, Google is their number one search engine, and it's been mine for well since the day I first installed a modem onto my computer. Google simply revolutionised the way people w=look at the internet, for me it's more than just a search engine it's practically a part of human life, I do my homework from it, read the news and look general info. This review will give hopefully a detailed analysis of Google, the features it has and moreover the features I use, such as the search engine, looking for pictures, and a whole lot more. I want to try and inform people that Google is more than just a search engine...

HTC Touch

Advantages: Pretty easy to use because of a plugin
Disadvantages: Little sluggish just like a WM6 pro device

...I have been using an HTC Touch myself for about more than five months now. It comes in two variants, one which has 64mb ram and other which has 128mb. The more the ram, faster the device is. Till date, the product hasn't given me any problems. The ease of use of this phone is just too fantastic and has an especially a fantastic plugin called the 3d Touch cube. This cube helps in navigating through the vip contacts stored on one page then on to multimedia, consisting of photos, music and videos {on one page}. Then comes the system management , consisting of E-mail, sms, IE, tasks, Communication manager and then calendar on one page. Total of three faces of the 3d cube, which help in controlling almost whole of the phone. The camera being 2mp is exceptionally sharp. The HTC home plugin provided makes the phone pretty easy to use...

Review of HTC Touch

Review - The HTC Touch Pro 2

Advantages: well designed, good touchscreen, good QWERTY keypad, improved sofware, good widescreen display
Disadvantages: Expensive, no spec bump, no flash module, heavy

... HTC Touch Pro 2 It wasn't all too long ago that I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of HTC's first Touch Pro handset, but when I did get my hands on it I was a little disappointed. I obviously wasn't the only one as I now have in my hand the new version, the HTC Touch Pro2. Even with its improved software and a very nicely designed tilt screen, I still needed to be convinced this was a serious alternative to competitive Smartphone's like the iPhone 3GS, Nokia N97 and the host of available BlackBerry's. Design and Features There is no denying that the new Pro2 is a very visually appealing handset, the 3.6 inch touchscreen allows for a 480x800 widescreen VGA resolution, using a customised version of the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 OS. Although it is very 'business' like in appearance, its metal and black...

Review of HTC Touch Pro 2

HTC Touch

Advantages: Customizable, Great video, User-Friendly
Disadvantages: Weak Battery, Faulty software

...The HTC Touch is a reliable mobile phone with many perks and downfalls, which would depend mostly on your familiarity with electronics.. The phone uses Windows Mobile 6 software which is a very customizable software which can allow you to add programs, games, software which you may want or need. the downfall to this is it requires being able to find the files and programs which you need that can then all be loaded to your phone via ActiveSync software which comes with the phone when purchased.. the phone is great for calls, texting, mobile internet browsing, video Players, pictures and video recording. The downfall to the HTC Touch is that it can from time to time run very slowly..its pricy for the issues that it may have down the road, without frequent updates the software on the phone may become slow and problems with the phone...

Review of HTC Touch

Google Chrome

Advantages: Nice, neat and minimal
Disadvantages: None

...Google Chrome I dont know why but i love to try new web browsers to see what the difference is in them. I have always used Internet explorer ever since i was in school, then firefox was the next one. i never liked firefox for some reason, so i ended up looking online for other web browsers and i came across. I came across opera, which was nice to look at, it was red and grey toolbars, and was nicer than the boring grey and blue internet explorer. I used it for a while, then tried safari, a minimalist browser which only had a few things on toolbar, for faster internet experience. Now having tried all them web browsers, i ended up going back to internet explorer again. Then one day on google i seen they had a new web browser which i could try - Google Chrome. I downloaded google chrome to see what it was like and i have to admit...
