That's clearly a flaw and I spent lots of time trying to fix it, finally being told by HTC that I could just set it to California time. It is seamless with Outlook and it's certainly easy to see everything on screen. A small cool looking phone that has a touchscreen, syncs with Outlook and has a fast processor.Overall this phone has been fantastic and does everything I need. It's a real stunning winner of a phone and for the few issues it's still a winner for me. Images are crystal clear and it is just a fun cool phone that is seamless with outlook. Windows Mobile6 is the only true weakpoint of this phone and there isn't another option.This phone does what it is supposed to do and I can't blame it for WinMob6.
It's also surprisingly sturdy as I've dropped it several times and it is working just fine.The downside for me is that the Touchflo interface while being very cool doesn't really seem to have much customization. The interface is very cool looking (sad but cool was a plus for me) and it's so tiny that you can keep it in your pocket without knowing it's there. It's not as responsive an overlay as I'd hoped. Someone else wrote that you should tweak it etc. I got this phone for Christmas and it's exactly what I wanted. I don't care to get a battery that adds bulk.the size was a selling point to me. With all of that I still love my Touch Diamond and would love longer battery life but couldn't go back to my old phone because the screen on this is beautiful.
I have problems with my meetings going off an hour even though Outlook has it right. we don't change times in Arizona but I had to set it to California time and will have to change settings when the time changes again. I have changed settings with very little noticeable difference. It's a bright screen with clear photos, text and wonderful features. It's a smartphone.
which I have done and the Touchflo setup just feels slow and clunky regardless of my settings. The battery is indeed small and you don't want to leave Wifi on or it'll drain faster than you could imagine. I shouldn't have to do that, but I did. I don't have any desire to get an iPhone and this little gem is the best WinMob Smartphone I've had my hands on.Look past the few small issues and this phone will truly shine.
This is the worst phone I have ever had. The weight is nice periodthe back cover slides OFF all the time, phone does stil work. BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE G#% D@&$ WHITE SCREEN 3-4 times a day.I know I am expecting a phone call and I look @ the phone and WHITE SCREENSet the alarm when I was traveling the phone when to WHITE SCREEN AND THE ALARM NEVER WHEN OFF. woke up late for airport DONT BUY THIS PHONE Customer service @ HTC are rude and NO HELP AT ALL I'm back using my Tilt at least no white screen.
By the way, I am LOVING the simplicity of the iPhone now. This phone was given to me to make my life easier.
If you need to make phone calls on the go, DO NOT buy this phone. You need at least two eyes and a few minutes to navigate the interface.2) The screen attracts dust or something.
This product is a one star item because.1) It has a convoluted interface. You will need a microscope, stylist pen, patience, and more than a few minutes to make a simple message.In closing, there are other annoying things about this phone; I would end up making an essay if I listed all of them.
You can clean it, wipe it, pretty much anything, and it just stays greasy.3) The keypad is tiny. Once again, if you text message on the go, DO NOT buy this phone.
It just ended up being a constant frustration and has been returned. Good luck if you buy this item.
It's a total waste of money. Don't buy it. I feel I got ripped off.
As a PDA, it functions just as I would expect. Most of what I learned about the phone came from the problems that I had because it is a very technical program.
I didn't get along with my phone for the first 2 weeks but now I understand it alot more and am able to get what I want off of it quickly. I really enjoy the features that this phone has and that I don't have to carry a phone and a PDA (like I used to) to get more connectivity than I used to.
If you expect the phone to work out of the box, look for another phone but if you think you can do battle with some rather frustrating problems and win.this is the phone to get. The battery life is a major problem but one of the other reviews mentioned getting a larger battery.
I got this phone from sprint for about $250 after all the rebates and deals so I won't have a problem spending $70 for a better battery.PROS:-Looks awesome-Great Features (calendar, tasks, windows media/word/excel/ppt, opera browser, GPS)-Navigating around the different features is cool (but has a learning curve to it)-Lots of settings to personalize the device to your liking-Works with Rhapsody so you can download unlimited music to your device (legally with subscription)-Internet is lightening fast when even not on WI-FI (which is broadband capable)-Camera looks great and works well (again with a small learning curve)-Sound quality is ok (some cracks and pops sometimes)CONS:-Battery life short (I have to make sure I give it a mid-day charge-Some of calls to the device don't go through (I was standing right next to the guy who was calling me and his phone was ringing) (not sure what to think of this one because my last phone did that also just not as frequently)-The learning curveOVERALL:You are wondering, "should I buy this phone." I can only answer with another question.how logical are you at troubleshooting problems. As a phone, it functions well (with a few calls that just don't through but that could also be a result of a bad signal) and plays well with your contact list (which is also very detailed and cool).
As a device, it behaves just like windows device so if you can accept the fact that it needs to be restarted for about 90% of the problems that arise you will never regret purchasing it.
