Guest richard_d Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I'm guessing it's also missing a scroll wheel (although it could be hiding)... :rolleyes: I can live without the start/ok buttons, and don't find the looks a problem but no 3G and no scroll wheel would be.

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Incidentally, Artemis / Love = 16.3mm thick. AKA HTC P3300, T-Mobile MDA Compact III... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sonicr360 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 First Impression - Not good looking. Overall Impression - I think a bowl of quaker oats has more appeal than this. As always a slimmer model comes out, minus certain features we come to love & use. Give it another 18 months, and some of our prayers will be answered ! Personal Opinion = Nothing that makes me want to even bother reading a review. Next Device Please..........! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Miaow! Well, i'm getting a HTC P3300 (Artemis) tomorrow, and i'll have the i-mate SPL review up tomorrow too. Does that tickle your fancy a bit more? :rolleyes: P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eminos Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 But why MICRO SD ? Whyyy ??? :rolleyes: It's expensive, and doesn't pack as much as Mini SD cards. Why do they wanna make us "upgrade" to MICRO SD ? .. Such a turnoff .. otherwise it seems nice .. /E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 It's not THAT expensive! I got a 2GB microSD fpr under 50 quid, pretty decent that I think. Having said that, if i-mate can fit a miniSD in the i-mate SPL, there's no excuse :rolleyes: P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sonicr360 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Comes down to personal preference I guess - if you have a PPC/WM5 device that supports SD and you want to stick with it, then this device may not be for you. But MicroSD is cheap! I have a 1GB, and yet I have STILL to fill it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
