Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 After leaked spy-shots and reviews of pre-release generic devices, it looks like Dopod are first to show their HTC Herald variant to the world! Named the Dopod C800 , the device features... - a TI OMAP 850 processor at 200MHz - GSM / GPRS / EDGE - 128 MB ROM - 64 MB RAM - Adobe Reader (PDF) - HTC Audio Manager - RSS Reader - Preinstalled Cyberon software - Sprite Backup - Zio Golf - WiFi 802.11b/g - Bluetooth V2.0 with A2DP / AVRCP - 2 Megapixel Camera - 109 x 59 x 17 mm - 168 g - 1130 mAh battery - microSD expansion Think thin HTC Wizard or HTC Prophet with keyboard :rolleyes: P via PhoneDaily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 No video calling, high speed data, or high performance processor? That's a bit of a shame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kallisti Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 No video calling, high speed data, or high performance processor? That's a bit of a shame... On the other hand, who uses video calling? GPRS is useable enough for basic surfing and email headers. Size is everything for many people. Seems like a legitimate gap in the market to me. Not everything has to be top spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Yeah... and remember poor types like me who live out of 3G coverage :rolleyes: P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Plus, it'll probably have great battery life. I'm kinda fond of the 200MHz OMAP 850. I don't find it slow for my purposes, and on the Artemis I have atm, they seem to have optimised it so it runs even better. Put it this way, switching to the Artemis from my Vario, I don't notice a difference in general use! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 A Prophet with a keyboard would be great Am a little disappointed by the processor, and 3G would have been nice, and then there's the microSD. Hmm... I'm back with Smartphone at the moment, but this might be one for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I share the affection for the OMAP processors. Love the battery life and OMAP Clock makes any OMAP device a LOT more versatile. But having experienced HSDPA download speeds I don't think I want to go back... ...roll on the new generation OMAP processors with 3G/3.5G incorporated. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laser_iCE Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 The thing I'm most excited about is this; eek!! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Laser_iCE - I moved your post to the right topic :rolleyes: re: the indicators, why so excited? It's cool, but I find the onscreen indicators work fine! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm very interested to see whether this will tempt me away from my Vario II. After all, it'll help me decide whether I need a compact size, or 3G connectivity :rolleyes: P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Exodia Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Im quite satisfied with my wizards performance and features and features, the only thing i dont like is the size and the herald will fix that problem. :rolleyes: Any speculation on pricing?

Guest prajith Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Yeah size does matter. it feels awkward carrying around the wizard in your pocket, So i am using my SP3i most of the time. but i hope this will be gr8... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
