Hi All,
I bought an HTC Touch P3450, 5 months back. The first week it was.WooHoo!.and showing it off to my friends.Really cool device maaan.
But then you always learn the irritating(but daily used) features as the days go by.
The following features are working bad(in the midst of other good features).
But anyways buyers are not worried about good features!
The problem is with both the phone and the Windows mobile Operating system( the latest one)
1) Switching between calls -
When I am talking to my friend A and when my friend B calls, a message appears to hold and switch to other call. When I try to press the software button. I cannot because the phone is in HANGED STATE. Sometimes the current call gets dropped and I lose both the calls.**Scary!
*2) Built-in Camera -
The inbuilt camera performance is very poor. When I enter the camera mode, sometimes it HANG, and sometimes I get no User Interface response.:(
Camera picture quality is between POOR to AVERAGE.
3) Notes:
I always wanted my Notes to be sorted by DATE. And whenever I set the sort to "Sort by Date" it never sets. Everytime I open the notes its in a alphabetical sort. And there is **no way to change the defaults.
4) Lock feature -
Sometimes after pressing the Lock "software" button. the screen is not refreshed and it hangs. You have to then press the Sleep button and wake it up by pressing it one more time, to actually get the feedback that it has Locked.
5) Numeric Pad - Dialling -
When I want to make a call, I have to use the software Numeric keypad for dialling the number.
The response time is very slow compared to the normal keys on regular mobiles. Sometimes the phone mutes itself and when I press the Numeric Keypad I do not get any sound of Keys. So I have the feedback that the phone is hanged. I have to restart the phone to get it working.
6) Sound of the Media Player -
The quality of sound I get out of the mediaplayer is pathetically bad.PERIOD
My judgement.is.Wait for some better product or version from HTC rather than buying HTC Touch. Or look for another Pocket PC.
Anyway I have to live with this HTC Touch model for another year or two.and I am stuck!
Buyers please make an informed decision.
Bye!
