ABC as easy as HTC! sung to the tune of ABC by Jackson 5 !

Advantages: Access to internet, easy to use, sturdy, two batteries
Disadvantages: Quite large in your handbag

...A review of my HTC S620 mobile phone provided by BT mobile WHY DID YOU BUY THIS PHONE? I was passing a BT stand in Derby Westfield shopping centre and asked the man about BT broadband as we were looking to change ours. He convinced me that by applying for the BT mobile which would be an extra £5 a month I would get this phone and would be able to access the internet wherever there was a BT mobile signal, in internet cafes, airports and other places away from home. As I had spent quite a lot on internet access in airports I thought this would be a good idea so I followed his advice. WHAT DID YOU GET IN YOUR BOX FROM BT? This was delivered in the mail and in my box apart from the actual phone; there was a mains charger, a headset, a USB sync cable, 2 rechargeable Li-On batteries, a protective carry case, instruction disk and user...

Review of HTC S620

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

...love at first sight when it turned up, but that?s exactly what happened. The Hero's trim is a subtle brushed metal with a matte surface on the case, while the whole bevelled shape is made of fingerprint resistant Teflon. All of this results in a phone that you can be proud to show off. I was completely sold on the looks, but a pretty face isn't enough if it wanted to stand toe to toe with its competitors and survive. The real test was what it was like to use. User Interface & Features The Hero isn't the first handset to use the Android OS, but it is the first to try to improve it, HTC call this new tweaked system 'Sense', and I was very impressed. Obviously the home screen was the first thing that I got to have a look at when I turned the Hero on, on top of a customisable wallpaper, you can add...

Review of HTC Hero

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

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

...piece. To activate the speaker all you do is turn the phone onto its face, this automatically activates it, this also works if you are already on the phone and want to let other people in the room join in the conversation? I tried this and it worked perfectly. This works so well for a three reasons. Firstly, a woofer and tweeter have been built into the speaker to improve sound clarity. Secondly, HTC have installed two microphones to pick up a clearer sound, and, Thirdly, a chip has been designed to cut out background noise and focus on the speakers voice. All round, the HTC Pro2 is a very satisfying handset to look at? but so was the original, its problems arose when it actually came to living with it, and it is these areas which needed improving. Improvements The Pro2's predecessors, were let down...

Review of HTC Touch Pro 2

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

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

HTC Touch

Advantages: Thin Form factor, Software customizability, PDA features, Windows compatibilty
Disadvantages: No GPS, 3G and hardware keyboard

...The HTC Touch is a decent PDA (Windows Mobile 6) powered smartphone, which is particularly great due to its thin form factor and light weight. The HTC Touch is mainly touch operated and proposes a 'revolutionary' Touch Flo interface. The strength of the touch is that interface and applciations can be completely customised through some tweaking available at xdadevelopers.com, and in fact mine Touch is mainly now finger touch operated, making the stlyus mainly reduntant. The Touch however is slightly underpowered (you will notice this underpower when using some power hungry apps such as opening a picture hungry webpage), has no GPS and no 3G connectivity. The touch is recommended for those which are on a tight budget, require a good pda and a decent phone but not the ultimate technology. I am very satisfied with it and would...

Review of HTC Touch

HTC Touch Review

Advantages: touch screen, stylish, lots on it, memory
Disadvantages: hard to txt a lot,

...I got the HTC touch as an upgrade, recommended to me by the man who sorted out my upgrade, i was very impressed when i first recieved it, nice packaging and well presented. After a few problems upgrading i turned the phone on,. Took a while at first but worth waiting for, very easy to use with lots of things to do on it. The tough flo is great when on the move like on the bus or train. Just a quick movement up the screen with your thumb bringsyou to your music, videos and the internet as well as many other options. Nice and styleish, fits nice in your hand with the stylus tooked away in the top. The cam is not the best and its quite hard to txt if your in a hurry and you always need to use the stylus, but that being the only downside, i do like the phone, easy to use with wireless connection,games, 2.0mg cam,microsoft word and windows...

Review of HTC Touch

HTC Touch - The Real iPhone Killer?

Advantages: Good music and call clarity. Infinite Upgrade Possibilities.
Disadvantages: Texting can be slow and cumbersome.Slow to boot.

...Great little phone. Light and easy to use if you have meduium size hands. I upgraded and this was my first Touch Screen flow. The TouchFlo can be tempermental but does work a treat. Being a Wndows device there are 1000's of 3rd party applications that make this a great phone for the gadget geek. Worth every penny and a very strong competitor to the iPhone (Which I also own). In comparison to the iPhone the HTC is slow to boot but easier to upgrade and somewhat easier to use. Texting is a nightmare without the stylus or small fingers. Music quality is good from the included ear phones and call clarity is fantastic even on crowded buses and trains. The overall design of the HTC is more compact that the iPhone and the included case allows for much easier transportation. The bulkier iPhone can be a nighmare in a shirt pocket. I have...
