Guest jimbouk Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Just picked mine up from the shop... and I like it! 1) Its smaller than the Hermes 2) Its faster than WM6 Black Majik rom I have on the hermes 3) The keyboard feels a lot better 4) It weighs more though! 5) The autofocus 3mp camera is very good!

Cant wait to get rid of some of the orange stuff though. GPS worked out of the box with Windows Live Search and Google and it seems very good. As for DATA... 1000kbps out of the box with a good HSPDA signal. As for the radio, seems better than the Hermes with WM6 and the radio that came with that. The room that I sit in at work (surrounded by lead) doesnt have coverage for O, T2 or O2... but the first time ever I get 1 bar of 3G signal. First impression very nice.

Guest m3100tony Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Just a shame that you'll have crappy data tariffs on Orange. ;) I get 1Gb fair use (which I have gone over with no penalty) for £8/month. I did toy going to t-mobile, and in fact got a PAYG SIM to try it out. I tried it in 2g, 3g and HSPDA areas and Orange consistently gave me faster data, with HSPDA over twice as fast (in Leeds and Manchester). Also Orange, for my £8/month, let me hook up to a PC or MAC via bluetooth (which I could do with T-mobile, but I should pay extra) and also let me Video Skype - I could not get this to work with T-mobile - they had blocked the ports - presumably so they can extort more money for VOIP. So actually, I'm pretty happy to stay with Orange for data. It is much cheaper (like for like) than T-mobile, it is much faster and the coverage is better as well. :( (Oh and as for the tarrifs and insurance, that was much cheaper on Orange too - 12 month contract, free insurance that is better than T insurance, 1200 mins, free broadband, 200 text - all for 35/month). So when you are all in your 18 month T contracts, I will be getting my 3G iPhone next christmas!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RichardK Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Just got mine and not too impressed. Why must networks play with the rom. 1. Stupid stupid orange today rubbish 2.

Guest rickyburke Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 1gb just isnt enough though, i use that in a week i reckon. I was on the £5 1gb that was introduced when Orange introduced their 3G service, as i never changed phone or talk plan i retained it up until last month when i left Orange. I find customer services, signal and 3G speed all vastly superior on T-Mobile to be honest. The best part of the T data tariffs is that if you go over the allowance, you get informed. On Orange you get charged something stupid like £1.50 per MB. They are in the dark ages, I'm just glad I've seen the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Helix Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Mine just arrived, the unboxing was nice, I like the HTC design of the inside box. On charge and being activated as we speak. In all honesty it does look 100 times better than the Vario III. Just a pitty about the Orange homescreen etc and lack of software as mentioned above.
