Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Look what's just arrived in time for the weekend... a shiny new T-Mobile Ameo ;) As I put the device through it's paces and prepare it for review, here's your chance to ask me anything you like about the device! First impressions? It IS big, the screen is glorious, the magnets are crazy strong, and it certainly is the ultimate Pocket PC :D P PS Just for fun, I video'd me unboxing it, Soapbox'd below, and also available in high quality DivX at http://www.MoDaCo.tv :(
Guest Monolithix (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 In true Ameo tradition, i'd like to see a pic of it attached to the side of your fridge please!
Guest Confucious Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 What's the keyboard like to use? And how much from T-Mob SIM free?
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 When I said the magnets are strong, I wasn't kidding. Ameo + Fridge... ;) P
Guest Chimpanzee Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) What does it come with in the box? I heard that it came with a leather case and lots of nice things? EDIT: ..and does it feel well-made? i've been pretty disappointed with the build quality on a lot of WM PDAs i've tried out. Have you been getting my PMs about the videos? I've sent you a couple of messages over the last few months and haven't got a reply. What's going on? Edited March 23, 2007 by Chimpanzee
Guest yrreP Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I love the Vueflo function. I can really see major gaming taking off with this...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 What's the keyboard like to use? And how much from T-Mob SIM free? Keyboard is a bit short on tactile feedback, but seems pretty usable. P

You'll see the full box contents in my unboxing vid, online shortly ;) With regards to PMs, I'm behind with them and need to catch up shortly! P
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 It does feel well made, that's for sure... P
Guest rikwebb Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I suppose there is one big question.... IS IT WORTH THE MONEY ?? I am thinking about getting one, but I am afraid it would just be a toy, and not get used much.. Oh the dilema! Rik
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I can't answer that yet, watch this space ;) BTW, the 3 megapixel AUTOFOCUS camera actually, shock horror, seems to take pretty decent pics! :D P
Guest tsutton Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 The photos is a bit grainy but it's good enough! LOL about the fridge & magnet! Looking forward to the geek unboxing video. ;P
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Unboxing added to first post ;) P
Guest abamara Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Paul, you left it a bit late. The movie is already on POCKETPC THOUGHTS. :D Georgeous device, I must say! ;)
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Indeed, there's a Dopod U1000 unboxing. This is an Ameo tho ;) Besides, no harm in having another right? :D P
Guest abamara Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Oh yes! The more reviews, the stronger the justification to get one. ;) We're excitedly looking forward to your review though. I'm sure you'll surpass yourself as usual and maybe even be faster on the draw! :D
Guest tsutton Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Nice video. You've paid more attention to the pen, tho... lol Love your slippers. ;P
Guest Monolithix (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 That camera is actually *really* impressive. Now heres hoping it turns up on the Wings... ;)
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Hey, don't dis the slippers! ;) P
Guest magic_peanuts Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Gut first reaction - is the device usable enough as a phone?
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 No... I can't imagine carrying it as my only device, if only due to the fact you can't make calls unless with a headset or on speakerphone. P
Guest nickcornaglia Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Craziness...This phone makes me angry for some reason. PLEASE dont call it a PocketPC. Only kangaroos could carry it in their pockets. I think I said this before...but why not just get an ultra small pc with a phone card instead of this thing? What exactly is the market for a device like this? Old people with bad eyes? People who dont need a PC...but still need internet and email?
Guest nickcornaglia Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Nice looking tho. Just impractical.
Guest Confucious Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I'm old, have poor eye site and want one! Just phoned T and was told it's just under £1K SIM free!!! :|
