Hi All,
Tryign to satisfy my gadget craving with another HTC device to replace my Wizard. Looking at the Touch (cool, but not many buttons and no radio/GPS) and the Artemis.
If I were to put some of the later Touchflo ROMs on the Artemis, does it add *all* the Elf/Touch functionality? Is it as slick as the touch but with more features?
Would really appreciate advice from someone who's compared the two..

Hello, I have both. Artemis with touch flo rom and a new touch elf. I prefer the touch elf, it is slimmer and easier to carry in the pocket. Besides with a external gps receptor the performnace is better. I use the Holux 1200 and it is more precise.

I love the Hermes.
Is there a HTC phone with a similar spec (400 mhz) but without the slide out keyboard...and with a built in GPS antenna.
This would cut down the bulkiness of the phone. I find myself using the touch screen keybd more...
Hermes without keyboard and GPS
Hi there,
I believe the HTC device you are looking for is either the 3300 or the 3600, you can see them on the HTC website... www.htc.com
I hope this helps

Sounds like you want an HTC Trinity-based device ... Dopod D810 is how it's marketed here in Australia.
The trinity would be your best bet....
I have an M700 and XDA has helped me loads to get it where it is now. It does everything i need, but the HTC Touch looks better! Materialistic, i know but what the hell.
Don't know much about the HTC Touch, hope thats the right name for it. Seen a picture with a keypad slide down on it. Is that on all models or are there 2 versions?
So anyway, to the point, orange are offering me a upgrade, shall i take it? Presume it has built in gps, a must as i use tom tom on my m700.
Many thanks George
for many parts it's a downgrade

or the new touch cruse
Thanks for that. Great links! I'll stick with my M700 then, i didn't realise it was that much better.
Got a quick question. I've been looking around for a new pda. I currently own a Trinity and am wondering if the Polaris is equivalent to a Trinity II? Similar to how there is a TyTN and now there is a TyTN II, except with the name change.
I know the Polaris has streamed from the Artemis i.e. P3300, but the specs and alias model name (HTC P3650) seem like it can possibly be a the new Trinity? Or is HTC going to release a Trinity II later this year or in the near future?
I'd like some helpful input if possible. Thanks a lot.

I think we can consider that Polaris (Touch Cruise/P3650) is the evolution of Trinity (P3600) exactly like Kaiser (TyTN II/P4550) is the evolution of Hermes (TyTN/P4500).
For me the P3600i is just an enhanced version of P3600.
i see it as Wallaby-VIII
but seriously
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
P3600i = Trinity 1.5?

Thanks a lot for your input. Yes, I agree that P3600i is an upgrade to P3600, but in reality, physical appearance is the same. Perhaps, it is more towards a Trinity 1.5. Polaris or Touch Cruise on the other hand is very similar to a Trinity style pda phone, but seems a lot better. However, the appearance seems like it is an upgrade for the P3300. My question, I guess, is that since the Touch Cruise has been release, do you think the Trinity "style" be phased out?
Hi All,
I was reading on the htc US website that htc touch on sprint is gps enabled. Now does that mean that all htc touch are gps enabled on the hardware side. It is just a question of enabling it on the software side that GPS is not availble in elf.
I believe elf --> htc touch
elfin --> htc touch on sprint.
looking forward to replies

GSM HTC Touch with 64MB RAM/128MB ROM = Elf (no GPS chip)
GSM HTC Touch with 128MB RAM/256MB ROM = Elfin (no GPS chip)
CDMA HTC Touch = Vogue (has GPS chip)
I'm running and using GPS on my HTC Touch right now. I love it!!! Just gotta have the right ROM.

How the hell did you get GPS on the ELF. You can't unless you are using an external BLuetooth GPS on elf. This isn't what the OP was asking. You probably have the VOGUE (CDMA) not ELF (GSM) - Completely different devices even though they look the same and are both called TOUCH
A new ROM does not all of a sudden create a GPS Chip in the ELF to be able to use GPS
Please read as Dsixda has mentioned in his post and no need of any further discussion
Hi There,
I was wondering if anyone knows Rogers HTC Touch ELF has built GPS and what are the steps to enable it?
Please help me out as I spent so much time search on the net.
Best regards
From what I can tell it doesn't have one. I could be wrong, but I've never found anything on mine. I had to use an external bluetooth one.
Only Vouge has a GPS built in, and Elf doesnt has GPS
As Vouge processor is diferent from Elf.
As i know Elf doesnt have GPS thing.
Don't want to beat it, but here's your answer in English.
The Rogers HTC Touch doesn't have GPS. Only the Telus & Bell versions of the HTC Touch have built-in GPS.
