The official HTC Kaiser (P4550) 'Ask Paul' thread

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Not sure about the Kaiser Chief puns :P but a couple of questions:

1. I have a M3100 and seriously want something smaller. How does it feel in terms of weight and overall dimensions to the Hermes?

2. Can you confirm if it's a Sirfstar GPS or the gpsOne?

1. It's quite heavy, but not unpleasantly so, and it feels much much smaller :)

2. gpsOne I believe (not 100% sure on that tho), but that's fine... the Trinity uses a Qualcomm GPS chipset and is great.

Hello,

can you confirm that the cam has an autofocus option?

Thank you

Special2k3

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

It does.

P

[Guest Special2k3]

It does.

P

Ok, thank you.

Would it be possible that you install TomTom or Mobile Navigator on the device and do a little test drive?

Also some more pictures with the cam would be nice, but you already said that you'll post some. :)

An extreme closeup autofocus pic, followed by a couple of random outdoor shots. More to follow.

[Guest German-User]

i think the most important question is.. when can WE buy it :)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

August is the current best guess.

[Guest German-User]

August is the current best guess.

thx dude.. sounds good! .. that means september/ oktober for us in germany :) ^^

[Guest markdotpeters5]

Thanks for the pics Paul, i'm impressed, for once!

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

About time HTC made a half decent camera innit! Autofocus takes a second or two which is par for the course but a little annoying.

I will be in Singapore in a week's time, think I have any chance of picking one of these up?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

No chance.

I'd be interested to know what the time to first fix is with say Tom Tom Navigator 6.

Is there any GPS software installed that speeds this up ?

Curious to know what version of Bluetoth Software is present also.............then again - test ROM might differ from production unit.

[Guest Fel Ian]

Since it has 3G will it stilli come out on T-Mobile USA?

[Guest toon9]

Blimey.......this thread is going to fast for me, I cannot keep up !!

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

The only USA operator i've had confirmed to date is AT&T i'm afraid... of course a HTC branded SIM free unit will work fine on T-Mo USA.

[Guest calvin42]

can you please state how much free program and storage memory is there? I have a universal now at it has very low free memory after some hours of use...

I have installed a bunch of stuff, but with 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM, it's not really an issue :)

P

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

A time of writing I have a whole ton of apps open and still have over 50MB Program Memory free, and over 100MB of Storage Memory!

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Like the Athena, the camera button is a 2 stage press, focus then take picture.

[Guest goody301]

Does it accept SDHC memory cards (4 GB capacity and more)?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Theoretically yes, I don't have one to try tho :)

P

[Guest goody301]

Theoretically yes, I don't have one to try tho :)

P

Is there a SDHC logo on the device or does the manual say so? May I ask what is the source of your answer?

Please excuse this questioning, but large memory card capacity is very important for me.
