Hi!
I have a couple of questions before buying my HTC Touch Dual. Im switching from a Sony Ericsson P1i and id like to know the following:
1. How is battery life when listening to music over A2DP?
2. How is battery life in general compared to a high end SE phone like the P1i?
3. Will AVRCP show me the song title and call info on my SE bluetooth headset?
4. I had a HTC P4350 (Herald) before and cursed its low memory and apps hanging etc. Is this improved in the HTC Touch Dual? I know its got 128MB ram now but how is multitasking compared to the older P4350?
Thanks a lot
MS
Edit: Too late, i gave in to temptation and bought one anyway So you can go ahead and delete this please.

Hi, i'm looking to buy the i-mate JAM from Amazon, i would like to know all the problems that people have faced with their devices and those which cannot be fixed. for example, i know there's an audio problem which can be fixed in which case i would return the device for a replacement, however, there's apparently a problem with slow SD interface which seems to be in all versions of the Magician, how serious is this problem. and finally would you recommend and even encourage me to buy the device......I would hate to be dissapointed with the device especially when i am cutting down on alot of things to save for this device.....thank you very much for your response
slow SD is not a problem xda2 is slower then the xda1 and the imate is slower then the xda2 lol
Does that affect the mp3 and video play on the device?

The speed of SD is acceptable :lol: :lol: :lol:
I have a problem with the microphone gain when in a phone call. The gain is far to low. According to Qtek in Sweden a new rom will be available soon, which will fix the gain problem.

Yup... I agree... My current problem is the volume when the Mini acts as a phone and then I get screwed over by another volume setting as an MP3 player.
Yes, I recommend this deivce to you. Size is good and the screen is acceptable.
How does it compare to the Blue Angel in your opinion?
Pros and Cons
PRO: everything you see in the techical list
CONS:
- wrong white balance in the camera (a patch should solve it)
- you can't listen mp3 while using vibro
- in conclusion nothing special
provided you don't get a lemon, you should be fine... my experience is please check the battery life! :shock:
Hello People,
Last Year, i bought the Nokia 6630, wicked phone but too big for me, i like everything small, compact and stylish and i was starting university in September - my program is already giving me a wireless networked laptop - so i was looking to buy something new, so i thought why not go for a pda and a phone but then i was like why all the hassle and why not just invest in a good pda phone which will include mp3 player, video player and an organizer. I'm really interested in the I-Mate Jam. I'm going to India and Saudi in about 15 days and will be back by Sept. 1 - So people, don't suggest me to buy something which is coming out End of Sept. I have some questions - Can Someone please answer them? Thank You. (P.S : I'm a newbie in Pocket Pc)
1) What would be the perfect bluetooth headset for this pda? (i was looking at the Sony Ericsson HBH-662 - if there's anything better out there, please do give me your suggestions.
2) I noticed the camera quality sucks, is there any upgrade or software fix for this?
3) Any Imate Jam Users, can you please tell me how you like this device and if it has any problems whatsoever. (Software or Hardware Problems) In Other Words, Do You Guys Love / Like / Dislike / Hate the device? Does It do everything you want it to do?
4) Can some of you tell me what are some really popular and useful applications for these devices? (Since i'm in here, i could get the cracked apps - so can someone tell me some really good apps to get it)
5) What could be an ideal WiFi SD Card (Cheap, Good Quality & Works Properly without any problems & Shouldn't Stick Out)
6) What are some good accessories i should be looking at?
7) Is there an upgrade possible to the Windows Mobile 5.0?
Also, Can we put nice wallpapers on the jam ?
9) Can We Set Mp3s as Ring Tones & Use our own customized Sms Tones like the Nokia's?
10) Can I play full screen movies on the pocket pc - like use smart movie just like i did for Nokia 6630?
11) How is the mp3 sound quality on the Jam? (This is a very important factor to me - i'm talking about the original headphones which come with the Jam Unit - how are they? - also, i'm aware of the 2.5mm to 3.5 mm jack so please dont tell me about that - im just wondering about the original head phones? when compared to the headphones for example Nokia 6630)
12) Any other suggestions, I'd really appreciate.
I guess that's my questions for now. If you could answer them, it'd be great - i'd really appreciate the time. Thank You
You can find almost all answers here by using the search.
alright, thanks - if i have any further questions, i'll ask
Jam doesn't have Wi-Fi built in.
No 3GP upgrade.
WM2005 is not available.
Photo Contacts is buggy.
SPB Software is a great Package for this Application including Resco Products.
I'd choose a JAM over a Nokia, this phone is just too power packed to pass.
Ok guys started using this as a converged device a few months back but poor phone experience, reception \ reliability and ease of use i reverted back to a small phone and used the device for data only, reading through here alot more people are using this successfully as a phone and i just wanted some tips of what the essential add on software i should get or any other tips to get the phone part up to scratch so i can start using it again, also any hardware tips ie best headset etc
Thanks Guys
Chris
the nokia HS-12w is going to be my must have add on of 2006 for my phone
currently using a jabra bt 800, would be nice to get the ring a little louder on it so that i didn't have to keep it in my ear all the time when out and about.
At work it sits on the desk and I use it like a mini phone.
@chris,
like you I now use my Exec as a mini tablet/PDA and use my Nokia 7710 as my main phone, to be replaced with the SE P990 soon. The call quality on my Nokia 7710 is so much better as is the battery life and its a design that is 12 months older than the Universal.
Hi all,
For those who have the experiences/luxury to tried on
both Herald and Hermes, can you pls share your experience
between the two ?
I am had a hard time deciding which to get.
Hermes is selling at much lower price than Herald over here.
Herald does not seem to be picking up here.
Also O2 Zinc in also about to be avaliable in matters of weeks.
I get the general feedback that Herald is much more
responsive than Hermes despite slower speed processors -
a big factor of consideration for me.
Specifications for both devices is OK for my usage/applications.
What I need is actual user feedback in comparision of the
2 devices such as
- actual battery life performance?
- skype performance?
- device stability ... etc ?
- third party devices accessories - e.g. dual sim card add on....etc ?
Thanks in advance.
I was in the same predicament, it came down to the fact that because i have a crappy data plan i would have no use for 3G, so I went for the much smaller and better looking (IMHO) herald. Very happy with it.
does the Herad has the same freeze issues ?
This would be really important for me since 2 resets a day with my TyTN/Hermes is just too much...
I have to restart it once every 3 days or so, using the Herald very very often !
But this always depends a lot on which Software you have currently installed on your device !
I would assume this would change with XV6800(verzion version of the Herald with rev a 3G) since it has 256 of memory and aku 3.5?
Get my Herald today
Hey,
I get my Herald today. Since today I used an TYTN.
First: Herald impressed me with they good performance and better looking.
Tomorrow I start to test it with all my programm from TYTN.
The TYTN has at the end problems with freezing.
I give you update
Oliver
what is the update?
Top Herald
Hello,
after 6 days using the Herald and play a lot of programmes on my Herald i can, say: Herald ist top, no freezing, good performance and it feels good.
I use it with an alucase and this ist the very much better with the TYTN. No problems to switch on camera, Com Manager....... The buttons on Herald are well placed (better than the TYTN). The Keyboard is better than the TYTN (no uncontrolled outcoming).
+ Better Keyboard
+ No freezes
+ Good inital Quality
- Performance a little bit slower than TYTN (but its OK)
If need to buy an HTC, at the moment I would buy an Herald (But I think after Herald generation there will come an Herald with 3G and a better CPU like the Samsung with AKU 3.X, thats my next HTC "Herald")
Oliver
Thx
Thanks for the update. Funny enough I mananged to get my Hermes running without any freezes: I am quite sure it is the SD card reading that can cause some lock-ups. So I maanged to get just every frequently used app on my internal memory. And the eMails & attachements as weel. I managed to use my hermes since 96 hours without freeze now.
Well, the Heradl seems quite nice - I will probalby get it as a second device and test it thoroughly.

Hey all
I've got the following two devices:
HTC Tornado, and HTC Magician.
i LOVE pocketPC now that i've used one! i've got the chance to swap either the Magician for a Charmer (which is basically an m600 without wi-fi if im right) OR
My Tornado for a Wizard/Vario/XDA Mini S.
I'm wondering which one people think would be best to go for?
i hear theres WM6 for the wizard? true?
also, i'd like to know what video playback is like on the device, i.e does it HAVE to be overclocked in order to view an uncompressed 700mb AVI file using coreplayer?! also, people who have one currently, are you happy with it?!
thanx.
You have to play 320x240 videos on the Wizard as the processor can't cope with anything bigger. My old Alpine could play uncompressed DVD backups but the battery life was poor. The Wizard feels more responsive then my Alpine but is slower with some tasks.
