Who’s John?
October 24th, 2007 at 3:19 pmJohn Prescott. We’re having a power meeting over a pork pie and a can of Iron Bru.
Dunno, nicked the picture off another website.
October 24th, 2007 at 3:35 pmWhat’s the verdict?
October 25th, 2007 at 8:33 amLove it. I need to play a bit more before I can recommend it (or not) but the only gripes I’ve got so far are:
- No easy way to disable GPRS
- Moving data between the device and storage card is a bit sluggish
- Media Player seems to be struggling with playing music off the storage card (probably because of above)
- Not much memory free on the device
The pro’s:
- It looks nice
October 25th, 2007 at 9:35 am- The interface is really easy to use
- The camera is great for a 2mpx camera
- The touchscreen is good enough for my chubby fingers to be able to press small things on screen
- Big clock (small thing but nice touch)
- You can put it in standby and it comes back on when you get a call
- Wi-fi (good enough to pick up a wireless network while I was gunning it down a dual carriageway at 60mph this morning – no I didn’t try and use it on the go!)
- Mobile Office
- Loudspeaker is … loud
- Outlook synchronisation
- Big, bright screen
Sounds like a good set of features. Will have to see if I can get my grubby mits on one to test. Currently considering a Nokia N810, the as-yet-unreleased followup to the N800 Internet tablet. No phone capabilites (yet), but with the increasing amounts of free Wi-Fi (supposedly every McDonald’s in the country by Christmas, for one), I’m seriously interested.
October 26th, 2007 at 11:50 amI just got rid of an N70. I liked the N70 but the “N” Series Nokia’s are unreliable. Of course, the old “3″ series was the last truly reliable range of phones Nokia ever produced but we’d still be using phones connected to batteries the size of house bricks if reliability was the only factor.
I still like this HTC Touch, none of the niggles with it are annoying me enough to want to throw it up the wall like with the N70 when it kept rebooting in the middle of calls.
