HTC phones

[Alfonz]

notice its only the people with HTC disagreeing with me and its mainly the people who have never used an iphone that say they dont like them

I've had three iphones, now I've got a htc. I can tell you that the HTC is far better. Especially the sensation.

Seriously I always thought the iPhone was the dogs b****cks, its not until I got my hands on a HTC I realised how limiting, boring an iPhone actually is.

I use my 3gs iPhone for work as it doesn't matter if it gets destroyed.

Depending on which of the email apps your using you can change this.. If your using "mail" i.e hotmail :dead: then in the settings area you can show the number of emails it displays, i.e 1 days worth, 3 days worth or ALL.

mines just MS outlook. I cant change it sadly, and given that i get more than 20 mails a day, there are times when i cant even read the mail i got that morning! Its very silly.

iPhones are great. But they just annoy me because Steve Jobbs ha you by the balls and MAKES you need iTunes, an when you install iTunes Steve Jobbs MAKES you install QuickTime, Steve Jobbs makes you pay for Internet tethering, Steve Jobbs TELLS you you can't just copy photos to and from your phone, you have to sync to a folder. I'm definitely getting a HTC next, after having owned two iPhones.

I still love iPhones but the latest HTCs are easily as good. Anyone who says they aren't are just talking rubbish.

And for the record, my first iPhone didn't have good build quality as it got the WSOD after 8 months and I had to claim on insurance.

Steve Jobbs is just an imposter, don't listen to him.

Its Steve Jobs that you want to listen to!

I've had a hero and now the sensation, not one problem with the hero and the sensation is superb very pleased with it. HTC over iPhone and day

I've got an HTC desire work phone, for text and email fine although annoyingly it only shows the pervious 20 or so emails, unlike my blackberry which could show around 100. The calender is also very annoying to use and sending meeting invites is a pain in the arse. Also when sending a text the contact needs to have the mobile phone number saved under "mobile" under their contact list option, not "work" or "home". If you do not save it under mobile, there is no option to text them at all! You have to go in an manually change the contacts phone number and list it under "mobile", which i had to do for about 100 phone numbers one by one.

As for the apps store, i gave up after about 1 minute and have never used it, seemed crap but i'm not technically minded.

So as phones go - 5/10

mines just MS outlook. I cant change it sadly, and given that i get more than 20 mails a day, there are times when i cant even read the mail i got that morning! Its very silly.

have you fiddled with the settings?

My phone randomly restarted itself last night and when I went on it this morning it sent an update to HTC to tell them about the restart soso they can solve it.

Mine turned up today. Seems I need a masters degree to set it up...

MAKES you need iTunes - Yup. Windows Phone MAKES you need Zune if you want to do what u can with iPhone/iTunes

when you install iTunes Steve Jobbs MAKES you install QuickTime - nope

Steve Jobbs makes you pay for Internet tethering - what? no.

Steve Jobbs TELLS you you can't just copy photos to and from your phone, you have to sync to a folder. - 50%. you can copy off the phone (using windows explorer), just not back on to it.

Point 1 - You can use windows explorer to transfer data to and from android phones right? This is how I understand it, and how I like it.

Point 2 - my bad, it's been a while since I installed iTunes, I thought QuickTime was mandatory. Sorry.

Point 3 - So you can tether for free, like with android phones? Yeah, I thought not.

Point 4 - 50% isn't good enough, I want to be able to CHOOSE what I can and can't put on and take off my phone at any point.

Oh and apologies on the whole Jobs spelling, I couldn't be arses to google and knew I had a 50% chance! Lol.

I do agree after having both, HTC are far better than iPhones.

Keydogg!

Have to say after the initial pain of setting it all up it's pretty f**king good considering it's a "mid range" phone. It's doing everything I want it to and more.

The only annoyance is the pre-installed stuff running in the background. Things like News and Twitter, seems I can't turn them off or delete the apps.

^Go into accounts and sync to stop them updating themselves if you don't use them.

Or download advanced task killer pro.

Or download advanced task killer pro.

This uses more battery if you have >= 2.2 so only use it when your <= 2.1

 

[LowLife.]

Why does it? You can kill the task killer when you kill the other apps...

Incredible misinformation in this thread. HTC stuff is pretty good, but i'm sure it stands up on its own against the iPhone, you don't need to make s**t up to justify your purchase.

Something to do with memory management introduced in 2.2. Don't know the ins and outs but google it if your interested.

 

[LowLife.]

Oh right, I may do.

Learn something new everyday and all that!

 

[oska]

The latest update of Taskkiller doesn't let you quit it. I know you can stop the sync but it's all or nothing. Annoying that you can't switch selected things off. Probably going to install another OS instead.

Is it the free version or the paid version?

 

[oska]

F*ck paying for s**t. Everyone I've spoken to says it's pointless after 2.2 anyway.

 

[LowLife.]

I never paid for my apps on Android.
