Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 HTC gives you Wings! Well, not you, me. Well, HTC haven't given it to me, but it's theirs indirectly. Well, it's not GIVEN to me either. Oh, heck, you know what i'm getting at... friendly Mr. Postman delivered the fine specimen below to me this morning, and here's your chance to grill me on the device prior to a forthcoming review! The device is in (trick) retail packaging with a near retail ROM, so I should be able to answer most questions! Fire away! ;) P PS Yes, that is our first look at the HTC Home homescreen on a Smartphone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yes and no. Yes, it connects to the GPS receiver, no, so far, I can't see more than 2 satellites ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it connects to the GPS receiver, no, so far, I can't see more than 2 satellites ;) P did you manage to work with the (disabled) internal GPS receiver? some people have http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCwEvmY3LSA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny3DqNEqa_A Edited October 24, 2007 by Bastv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 That's what i'm talking about - I can connect to it, but get no usable signal (yet). P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daniel Barton Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Here's a couple of questions: - Will the phone work with AT&T? I assume the answer is yes but would like someone to confirm that all the functionality including voice / data / voicemail / text, etc works correctly. - Will the Garmin Mobile for Smartphones product work with this phone? - Can this phone make video calls? - How's the quality of watching Slingbox with the phone? - Where can I buy this phone? www.mobileplanet.com has it listed but keeps pushing out their availability date. Thanks! Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 - Yes, it will work with AT&T - Kinda. I haven't got the built in GPS working properly, but Garmin Mobile XT runs on it! - Yes, it can make video calls. - Is there a Smartphone Slingplayer? - Nowhere yet!

Guest SeaneyC Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Please tell me this phone is noticeably faster than the S710 and it will be a definate sale for me, GPS or no GPS! And i would also like to know about the slingbox usage. Yes there is a smartphone player, think there's a trial on the slingbox site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest babybob Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 sorry excuse my behindness on this, how did you enable the gps (even if its not working) I thought htc had confirmed this did not have onboard gps? Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 HTC have confirmed it does, but it's not supported. I think I know why now, unless my unit is faulty of course! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest conflagrare Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 How is the quality of the camera indoors? can you take some sample shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest conflagrare Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 does the numberpad work when the keyboard is out? or at least the directional "joystick" button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Looby Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 What is the point of having GPS if it is not supported? With Satnav and Windows Live it's what everyone wants ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Like the look of this, a lot! Looks like a PPC at first glance Can you take some piccies of it next to the Kaiser? In particular to show the thickness of it Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 No because a. TomTom aren't developing for Smartphone nowadays (v6 is PPC only) and b. the GPS doesn't seem to work (left with a view of the sky all night, no fix).

Guest RSkillz Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) How's the battery time with the faster processor? Can you post a pic with the S710 and Wing side by side? (btw Paul, just noticed your last name, don't happen to be related to a Steve O'Brien?...then again, there probably ALOT of O'Briens ;) ) Edited October 25, 2007 by RSkillz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Er, no Steve O'Brien's I know ;) My S710 is on loan atm, but I will do a pic of the S730 with it and the TyTN II. Battery time - too early to say! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
