I've just been thinking...what is your dream device?
What would HTC (or any PPC Phone manufacturer) have to develop to get you to put your Hermes in your mobile phone collection drawer?
I'd love to know what is your perfect PPC Phone Device! Let's get the perfection specs listed here.
If Apple can get 2 gigs into a Nano why can't HTC get 2gb in a PPC phone?
FTTB: Same size as Hermes but 640X480 & built in GPS

I agree. At first I though if Cingy released the Hermes like it was supposed to be with the front camera then that would be enough. But actually I could give a rats about the front camera. I think you are right on target.
Why is it that they can't increase the rom to a gig? Is there a technical reason why that is the case?

Yes I Was Thinking That Just Today. It Would Be So Much Easier For All Of Us Who Are Right Handed.
Cheers
and more memory and longer lasting battery
Use a screen that dosen't suck as much as a lot of other TS-phones do in sunlight/outside. Something that Neonode has used for years now on the N1.
Suport regular SDHC memcards, GPS and a OS that shows some inovation (WM7 anyone)..

teehee....
As a lefty I applauded the Hermes thumbwheel placement... For once the tables are turned. Don't change a thing there plz.
Hurrah for Lefties!!!! I enjoy that scroll wheel very much!
Hermes would be greater if....
it had...
a slimmer design,
more internal memory
and a standard headphone jack.
otherwise...
Great phone, especially with kyphers xd-live rom
that all have phun hehehe
They could release this same phone in a second edition or anything else they want to call it and add a few features.
More internal storage memory is a MUST. I cannot think of a single reason for being limited to around 45-60mb when Nokias and SonyEricssons are getting double that at the least.
Internal GPS also needs to be there. I never understood why people would want it until I finally tried it. It is not just about navigation. It gives access to location based information regarding restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and just about any other business you may need and their phone numbers...yeah, plus directions to the location!
A NO CAMERA option and a better camera for those who choose the camera. We don't all want one on the phone since we can't take them certain places...like work. However, those that do want it should have a better camera installed. I do not just mean more megapixels. The camera needs to be sharper, faster, clearer, and more accurate for colors. I don't need 7MP on my phone, but the photos I take with it should be worth showing to people, not just big.
More security options for those of us who don't have access to the Exchange server. Many of us might have a hosted exchange service or none at all but we still want access to all of the security feature that other users enjoy.
...and keep the scroll wheel on the left! Right handed folks get everything else made for them. It is nice to have something for me!
I'll Play, I think the "Kaiser" will be close, slightly thinner Hermes with built-in GPS.
I'm OK with 320x240 as the Hermes is quite good, I have an iPaq hx4700 with a HUGE 640x480 screen with excellent outdoor readability so who wouldn't love a ultra crisp display.
I have always wondered why the heck these companies won't give us a couple of GIG extra storage. I'd also prefer mini SD so we could use a cheaper and I think more common 8GB SDHC card.
Thumb wheel. Well I've played with a friend's Blackberry and it is better on the right (for us right handers).
Can't wait to see the Kaiser, one step closer to the perfect "all-in-one"
Hmm, let me see (in order of preference)
Built in DAB digital radio
GPS
Built in FM/AM radio
A screen the same size as my Hermes but with higher resolution.
Better camera (maybe 3mp but also better quality metering and focusing)
Mini SD slot or large (6gb) int memory
3.5mm headphone socket
Better quality loudspeaker
Better layout of buttons on front of device (I have a SPV M3100)
Once the qwerty slide is out, it would be nice to be able to tilt the screen towards you.
An clip-on external wifi ariel to boost signal as standard in the box
Also just imagine the processing power and RAM of even a cheep laptop in a PPC. You could attach an auxiliary 9" screen, mini keyboard and run a version of windows far closer to the desktop OS (if not the same). I could even get some web design done on the move then without a laptop.
lol, probably got a bit carried away there, but then again when the Nokia 8210 was the mutts nuts 5-6 years ago who would of thought that the Hermes would have been possible!
time travel.
Ohhh, just though of another:
thumb-print recognition enabled screen to replace pin number

Built-in printer/scanner No, seriously, a thought reader.
Form factor is ok, but it would be nice if the screen could be tilted slightly. On the hardware side, I would like to see:
USB host, standard audio jack, GPS would be nice, better design (slimmer and better looking), video out (don't care vga/cinch/...), video in, 640x480 display, ...
My main issues are with the software, before any other hardware, I would like the software to provide more features:
BT PAN, WPA2, better IMAP support, stability (sometimes my startbutton just disappears, sometimes the device just hangs, ...), printerdrivers, ...
Oh, BTW, a printer is not so far fetched: the technology is here.

Hello
I own an HTC tytn, and I want to do the following:
record a video from my car, with real-time GPS coordinates being printed at the bottom of the picture.
Can a combination of some GPS receiver and tytn do this ?
Thank you
The problem won't be the GPS receiver, but the camera software. The build-in software can't do that. And a third party software would have to support the TyTN camera.
You can record the video with the phones camera (note the time you start recording), and be running a GPS message recording software. then you can use a video editor software in your PC to spuerimpose the text (gps coordinates) in to the movie.
ok thanks -- I think I may just splash out on a video camera with built-in GPS (not cheap), unless the HTC device with built-in GPS (Artemis ?) somehow does it ...
Silly question, why do you want to do this?
Depending on your answer you may find www.mp3car.com an interesting place to vist.
I am working on a large building site, with structures only partially built.
I am trying to show the status of the project to clients by taking a film of the site as it is now, with exact GPS location shown at all times
I woulf then be able to relate exactly what is shown on the film to a modelisation of the fully completed project that we already have.
A
Fair enough, I saw the Car mentioned and thought you migt be trying to have a video black box in your car, a common idea and one that is being acheived by putting a PC in your car. Hence the link to www.mp3car.com.
I wish you luck in your seach.
Hi all!
I´ve a problem with my htc touch dual main camera, 2 MP.When I open the photo application I have a vertical blue line on the screen . I think its an hardware problem.
I have a faulty htc S710 but the camera on it works great (2 MP also). Is it possible to take the camera on the S710 an put it on the nike?
If the above doesnt work, does anyone know how much it will cost put a new camera on the nike?
Thanks guys
I think you can change it, because camera module is exchangeable.
Also i don't think HTC uses different 2mp modules on they devices
The only problem is length of cabel, it may be not enought for dual

I would also think so... but after seeing both service repair manuals, the camera modules are different in size and on the vox dont exists a cable to conect to the camera ... I supose its not possible
You can see them here:

my nike is dead, wanna buy the camera?
Hello,
I am looking for a board to develop a project related to video recording.
One major drawback is the camera compatibility with Android. I need one to be recognized by the Android as a native camera, I guess it would be connected through MIPI-CSI. Is there aboard like this?
I have seen boards like PICO-PI-IMX8M and Dragonboard 410c but I can't find information regarding the native camera.
My needs for the board are:
- Not bigger than 90mmx60mm, the smaller the better
- Android
- Camera to be recognized as a native camera
- Low consumption
- Performance similar to IMX6 Quad
- At least 1 GB RAM
- HDMI output
- GPS, IMU would be a plus
- Bluetooth and WiFi
Best regards
