Guest citivolus Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) Paul, could you report on the performance of using the built-in webcam with Skype for videoconferencing? can you access the 40gig hard drive from the Snapvue side or does it have its own flash storage? can you use the fingerprint scanner for scrolling webpages? thanks.

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 The webcam is great for skype. The Snapvue side only has limited internal storage. Not tried the fingerprint reader for scrolling, but don't think so. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adjonline Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Is the SnapVUE e-mail linked with e-mail in Vista? I.e. does e-mail have to be, effectively, doubly-downloaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 It is doubly downloaded. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leo-balou Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Paul, I have my Shift and think over-all its a good device. I have had some issues with the wi-fi but have now overcome this. Main issue I have is when using the device as a tablet and want to logon to my domain there is no way of sending CTRL+ALT+DEL without using the slide-out keyboard. Apparantly there should be some form of "Windows Security button". Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sonicr360 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Have to admit, but I for one am not impressed with this device. It certainly isnt what I would class as portable usage (only a few hours with 3G). Vista may run ok, but as soon as you start multi tasking with multiple apps, thats when you start to think "hmmmmm.... maybe not a replacement laptop". STill happy-ish with the TYTN II, but like everything, something else will come along, better, faster, smaller and superior. Give it time. I for one would not be rushing out to obtain one, let alone watch the video or read any other reviews on the device. Please your happy with it paul.... each to their own :D Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Nice device, but for the price isnt something id want to shell out on right now. I think the EEE PC and the TyTN II pretty much offer the same but in two devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sonicr360 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I agree with that "WearTheFoxHat". There is alot of fuss over UMPC - sadly, its just not there yet! Give it a few more years, and maybe. Just maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike550 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Got my Shift but have some problems including some bad sectors on the hard drive, a stuck pixel and a propensity to reset itself while working in Vista. The supplier is being less than helpful and I want to quantify the problem, would anyone with a 'good' machine tell me what the hard drive capacity should be (Computer/Local Disk C/Properties). After running CHKDSK with autofix, mine is showing a capacity of 34.2 GB (36,774,174,720 bytes) is this normal? Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mickeyace Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I love my shift but would really like a larger drive so I can carry more stuff with me. What are the thoughts on upgrading the dive? Has anyone tried to open the device yet. I saw some pictures of the FCC opening it. It looks like the torx screws are under the battery compartment is there any other screws? What about transfering the data? I have imaged drives many times but usually laptop drives not the 1.8 drive in this. Is there a way to hook 2 of these up at once. (Via USB adapter) Any help would be great. Thank You. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MNI-Telecare Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hey guys! Im working at Telecare, a danish workshop for cellphones and UMPC's. Recently I got HTC's Shift in my hands, and at the moment im trying to figure out HOW to get it apart. I have been searching everywhere for a guide or somekind of tutorial, but without any luck, and HTC is to slow to send us the the guide. Maybe you would know where to find it? Thanks in advance!

Guest Pierce Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 So I'm in New York City and would really love to own a HTC Shift. However I'm new to this and so I have a really simple question. I have a Verizon Wireless unlimited data plan. Would I be able to pair it up with the Shift so I can send and receive sms and have total connectivity? What would I need to have in order ot do that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I be able to pair it up with the Shift so I can send and receive sms and have total connectivity? What would I need to have in order ot do that? Thanks I have been using my ATT Tilt and pairing it with my phone using ICS internet connection sharing. I recently switched to use a 3g sim card from att. It works great too. Either way will work as long as you have a windows mobile phone. I know that there are other ways to do this too. Some carries I think verizon has a special software you download to the computer and connect the usb cable to your phone and the Shift. The best deal I found was go to ATT get a cheap phone like razor or something buy the media connect for $15.00 per month when you walk out the door dump the phone and keep the sim slip it into your shift and off you go. Just dont abuse the service they will cut you off if you do. Most data plans have a max of 5gb and the media connect does too but I try to stay under 2gb to keep them from wondering.
