HTC Wizard

In case you missed PocketPCThoughts!
Pocket PC Italia has just revealed a bit of information on the HTC Wizard. Although it is subject to change, here's the buzz: Windows Mobile 5.0, GSM/GPRS (with EDGE) - Quad-Band 850/900/1800/1900MHz, a Texas Instruments OMAP 850 processor (interesting choice?), 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, a 2.8" QVGA display, Bluetooth, 802.11b Wi-Fi (rejecting earlier reports of this device having 802.11g), IR, a 2.1MP integrated camera with Flash LED, dual speakers, a QWERTY keyboard, mini-USB, and a miniSD slot. Here's a Google translation if you need it.
Yeah, it looks kinda fake, and I personally think it looks so IPAQ, but I don't care as long as it is an HTC device...
What do you guys think about it in case it's in fact true?

Yeah, it looks a bit fake, but the concept with the landscape keyboard is cool! I always miss my Keyboard while surfing in landscape mode. Landscape Keyboards have the advantage of leaving more space for the keys. I'd like to see it in this way.
But i've read of two devices: Wizard (without keyboard) and Galaxy (with keyboard).

no 3g or video conference though :/
nice that it have a blizt but it's bound to be a stealer of minuts

Nice specs, BUT:
-Mini-SD? What? Why? This doesn't make any sense. Why not SDIO?
- TI OMAP 850? That thing runs on 200 MHz. So then we have a device with integrated Wifi, but no way Skype can run on 200 MHz.
Seems HTC made a little error in the specs, hope they correct this and turn out a killer device.
BTW: of course no 3G, or the Universal would be in trouble in terms of sales. If this Wizard/Galaxy had 3G as well, what would there be for the Universal to compete on? Bigger, more expensive, but with the same specs and a less MP camera?

faster cpu and sdio and more ram and bigger screen
this device was ment to be a replacement for magic to limit the stuff to make it small
and it's not like other phone companies ever narrowed their range so they only had one 3g device
there are other things to change between devices then the network they are using like the specs you dont care for....

Are you guys sure there's no 3G? Note the camera lens upfront the device.. Only 3G phones have that..

the specs say EDGE
which is pretty much 2.5G
have yet to see any phones supporting both EDGE and 3g
and if it did i guess they would state it as specs

its looks ok, but it better have a fast processor, and a sdio slot? else it may be useless to me.

I found this one as the htc wizard :
The rumor that broke about this last week wasn’t particularly reliable, so we exercised an unusual amount of restraint (for us at least, since we are total gossip hounds) and didn’t publish anything, but a pic and some plausible details have surfaced on Howard Forums about the HTC Wizard. This one is supposed to be HTC’s new smallish Pocket PC Phone that’s about the same size as the HTC Magician/i-mate JAM/XDA II mini and have quad-band GSM, EDGE, 802.11g, Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, and a QVGA quality, 320 x 240 pixel LCD screen. Will supposedly be out in Q3 of this year, possibly OEM’d by HP.

Check out Nokia 6630 and 6680 They are 3G as well as EDGE supported....

It looks yucky....I'm not gonna be swayed from my Universal!!!!

Any feedback yet on Eten M600

From all the specs I read, it looks like a great piece of equipment:
- quad-band (useful for me)
- 802.11 b/g (at last!!!). Wonder if WPA/WPA2 is supported, and PSK and/or 802.1x
-full-size SDIO
- Size looks to be between Magician and Himalaya (good enough for me!)
- BT 1.2 supported
- WM5.0...
So if anyone has anything to say about Eten in general and on the M600 in particular, I'd be glad to hear.
Cheers,
Hal

i was looking at one of these too. This looks like one sexxy handset!

not 4 me.
crappy samsung cpu, 64mb ram and useless 802.11g(it will take tons of energy if used)...
Qtek 2020i still the best.

I played with an Eten at Modaco.
Nice device, but fairly plasticy, unlike the aluminium sheathed godliness of HTC's stuff.
Nice to have the competition though. However, If i was going for a non HTC, I'd wait for the Atom = perkier.

Hal,
Do you know where this product can be purchased with a new abbonement in France?
mogwai

As an owner of imate JAM and after reading all that about the warranty on blue angel and stuff I am going forward and I ll be ordering an ETEN M600 this monday morning!
At least it has full size SD and it supports SDIO!!!!
As for the quality mentioned above nothing can be worse than the firming on JAM. Have you seen the battery cover of the JAM???? How many of you have a jam that its colour didn't came off? Mine is becoming grey after the silver has gone in the back!
Anyway as for the samsung processor just think that K-JAM has the 200MHz version of it while M600 has the 400MHz one and I ve seen some benchmarks on the net showing clearly that tha 400MHz Samsung is faster in many tests than the Intel 416MHz located inside my JAM. At least msmobiles in their recent review say that skype works flawless something I never managed to see on my JAM or my friend's PDA2k.
So I will make a small review as soon as I lay my hands on it sometime after 5th of December.
And admins please create an area for ETEN users too.

I've seen the E-ten m500 (300 MHz Samsung CPU) in action and must say that I was really impressed.
Scrolling of navigation cards (Navigon Mobile Navigator 5.1) almost in real-time.
You'll need at least 416/520 MHz Intel CPU to achieve same results.
Don't know about battery life though.
Sascha

Sabo M500 has exactly the same processor with M600 and its clocked at 400MHz. I also saw an M500 and it was really fast and smoother than my JAM. Let me get my hands on M600 and I will let you all know how good it is!

Too bad there is no keyboard!!

The missing keyboard is one of the advantages of my M600 for me! :lol: :wink:

M600 in FR and lack of keyboard
Ok, I confess, I couldn't hold it anymore: I bought a K-Jam WWE while in Dubai last week.
First impression: not slower than BA/HIMA running WM5 (I have both - BA has dead screen now...).
It is the right size for me.
I tend to hate the keyboards, having been on Palm since 1995... The BA keyboard was laughable! But the on on K-Jam is real cool.
Keep feedback on M600 pouring please, I still find it's a nice piece of equipment!
My 2c,
Hal.

M500 has a 400mhz cpu

I had (still have, in fact) a Magician (JAM) till about 3 days back when after careful comparison of the various alternatives available (I wanted a WiFi pocket pc phone that was stable and fast) I bought the Eten M600.
Compared to my friends K-JAMs and JAMINs this one is really stable and fast. I can skype away happily on the M600 while my friends struggle to start up skype on their JAMINs. I make calls on Skype while they listen to garbage trying to make one.
Eten rocks, and at a price that $150 cheaper (including a free 1GB SD Card) than the JAMIN its too good a deal to ignore. @ HTC - competition has arrived, and in style!

Toshiba Portégé G900

Browsing for a phone to replace my Hermes, I found this!
It's the Toshiba Portégé G900, it has EDGE (no HSDPA but I can live with that)
a 416MHz processor, 128MB of RAM miniSD, windows mobile 6, A screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, WiFi, bluetooth, full QWERTY keyboard etc.
BUT I've never actually heard of Toshiba making phones
Should I stick with the Hermes? or go for the Toshiba?

i believe that htc also get their gsm part oem from another company
nothing wrong with that same way they get their lcd displays
thosiba made pda's for a long time though
but personaly i dont see why it would be a step up over the hermes apart from the higher res
and a step down to go to edge from umts

it has about the same processor, double the RAM, fingerprint/gimmick reader
it kinda appeals to me (even though i want a TRUE pocket size phone )
p.s. what is the difference between umts and edge? my service provider says theyre just as fast :/

it DOES have UMTS and HSPDA.
http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news-14182-Toshiba+in+Paris:+the+Portégé+G900.html

" my service provider says theyre just as fast"
typicaly service providers know as much about such things
as normal supermarket salespeople knows about the computers/hardware they sell
of cause it could be that their company have issues making umts work
GPRS == up to 115 kbps but more like 30 to 80 kbps irl.
EDGE == up to 236kbps but more like 100 to 160 kbps irl
UMTS == supports up to 2Mbps, but in real life deployments is limited to 384 kbps.
HSDPA == support up to 14 Mbps, but irl will prob be between 4 and 5 Mbps.
i like the screen of that toshiba but worry that old applications may have issues with such a res :S

The link posted by Heov (post # 4) states that the RAM is 64 MB.
Are we all sure that it is 128 MB. Is there an official Toshiba page which I believe would be more reliable source of information regarding memory specifications.
Regards

yeah, it's 64mb "internal memory" which means STORAGE (availalbe storage). toshiba's spec page is 128mb ram. ppl have confirmed this in other forums.

sound pretty good then! I'll need to hold it in my hands first though, so I'll know it feels right aswell!
I did search for a smaller phone than my hermes with a full qwerty keyboard Anyone have any info on the S730 I doubt it'll come out soon after the vox launch though......

Got it!
800x480 !
Ill get one tomorrow and post my comments asap ....

Not so happy
Got the G900 4 days ago but am not pleased with it at all

Did you even bother having a look at the BIG Tosh G900 Post in this forum? All of your concerns have already been discussed.

Uhh no ...

Thanks to all to take your time to guide me..

HTC does not have many VGA offerings. but its not the end of the world with qvga.
I started a thread recently for my self that could answer some of your questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1970736

maybe flame
maybe sonyE's upcomming x1

I've been looking hard to find a device to upgrade my Trinity to a VGA device and the sad thing is there really isn't anything decent out there right now and hardly anything worthwile coming out, at least from what's been announced.
HTC, forget it they don't have anything in a small form factor that's VGA. Too bad, the Touch Cruise would have been absolutely perfect if it had a VGA. The only thing that could have made that better was if it had a Capacitive VGA touch screen.
E-Ten has some VGA devices but they only have 64 Megs of ram and it's poorly used, you end up with an average of about 12 Megs running which can make it painful to use. Not to mention its quirks like not being able to power off the device like HTC devices by holding the Power Button down, lots of little things like that.
Imate Ultimate Series, all except the 8502 are VGA but most are lacking in GPS if that's a feature you are looking for and they are bigger than most devices if size matters. Not to mention Imate seems to be in trouble, their current rom is very buggy, support seems limited and the battery life is terrible.
O2 Flame as mentioned by Rudegar is a posibility but I believe it's TriBand, that's a problem for me as I'm in North America but if you don't need the extra band, it's worth considering.
The Xperia also mentioned by Rudegar pretty much has everything and goes behind VGA with an 800x400 resolution but it's not available yet. Personally I'm not a big fan of slide out querty keyboards, I find them to big and combersome to use with two thumbs but given the deminsions are about the same as the O2 Flame, I'd choose this over the Flame if I couldn't find anything smaller.
The Gigabyte GSmart MS808 has potential, don't know the diminsions but the current specs seems to indicate it has everything you are looking for. Haven't had any experience with Gigabyte but people seem to like them so it's worth taking a look at. Again, it's not available until later this year though.
Bottom line, nothing out there that's really worth it right now in the VGA market. If you can wait I'd hold off until later this year, I think we'll be seeing a lot of new devices coming out with VGA, even HTC should be moving towards VGA as their leaked new Touch Flow (Manilla) seems to indicate.
Personally I've been seriously considering jumping Windows Mobile and moving over to an Iphone for a while. Now that they are building in ActiveSync support with push email into the next firmware. I'd have to get used to a lot of limitations, no camera, gps, basic functionality ect. that I don't have know but the capactive touch screen!!! I really wish there was a Windows Mobile device out there that used this technology. Once you use it, it makes it really hard to go back to a resitive touch device almost unbearable!
I'd really wish there was a VGA Windows Mobile device that had it all for me the absolute minimum of any device should be
Small Slim Form Factor
Good Battery Life
TriBand HSDPA/HSUPA
Quadband GSM
400 Mhz Proc.
VGA Display
256 Megs Rom
128 Megs Ram
GPS
3Mp Camera/VGA Camera (Video Calls)
Bluetooth
Make that screen Capacitive and it would be the best device out there!

" Personally I'm not a big fan of slide out querty keyboards, I find them to big and combersome to use with two thumbs but given the deminsions are about the same as the "
nor am i a fan of keyboards but other then that which one could just not use the x1 looks pretty sweet so far

a non VGA device thats interesting is the new
MWg Atom V.
http://www.expansys.ca/d.aspx?i=164854
its an all-in-one with an attractive design.
draw backs are:
qvga
64 ram
minimalistic 6 buttons- 2 for calling
and maybe price.

Aside recent rumors that SE Xperia will be on At&T so that will give us in NA the option of plenty unlocked X1's in early 2009.
ASUS is also bringing exciting new devices that that are the size of an IPhone with a 2.8" screen

What would you replace your Kaiser with? - Just curious

Hi everyone,
Ok, let me first say this thread is just for conversations sake only...I'm not wanting to start an HTC bashing thread...althoug my opinion of them isn't the best at the moment...
OK, so I have an At&T tilt. I generally like the phone, but am disappointed that my older HTC Apache can outperform it graphic-wise. I've been waiting and hoping that HTC was going to surprise us all and release a driver for the Kaiser...however my hope is fading fast. It appearse that HTC will not release a driver for whatever reason. It may or may not be thier fault...I don't know. This has made me leary of HTC, so it got me to thinking what would I replace my Tilt with...if I was to replace it that is. I went after the tilt right away, because I loved the apache, and I liked the thought of the size of RAM the tilt has, as well as the full GPS integrated into it. I find myself not using the keyboard at all, so an HTC touch cruise would have been good too at the time. Since I want to stay clear of HTC, what phones might any of you recommend? I'm drawn to the IPHONE...although it doesn't have GPS. It's interface just looks really cool. I know it's not a contender for all the Kaiser/tilt does, but I'm not a power user like most of you are. I've seen several other phones out there from sony and e-ten, but nothing seems to be as good as the Kaiser in terms of all it can do.
Again, I just want to start this thread for conversations sake. I'm sure a lot of this info is already in a bunch of threads. And maybe HTC will surprise us all....I highly doubt it...but you never know....

I have a Tilt. I'll replace it when the SE Xperia X1 comes along.

Either the Xperia X1 or the Advantage x7510. They both have their pros and cons, so its kinda hard to deside.

I was doubting between the HTC TyTN2, the LG Viewty and the iPhone.
Finally, it became the TyTN2 cause of the specifications, WiFi (which the Viewty doesn't have) and GPS (iPhone and Viewty don't have).
If I'd known about the bad video quality of the TyTN2, I'd chosen for the iPhone I guess.
If the proper drivers still come out, by HTC itself or some smart guys here at the forum, it would be no doubt at all; TyTN2

i-mate 8502 if when
I have a Tilt and a Samsung Blackjack II. If I could fuse the two together that would be awesome, because I like the slim form-factor and the always there keyboard of the Blackjack II, but the touchscreen is more important, so I use the Tilt.
The ASUS P527 would be awesome if it had the power and memory of the Tilt, because it's touchscreen and has a number keypad which would be great for most use, as I use the touchscreen keyboard for extensive texting anyway.
So I am waiting for the i-mate 8502 or the HP iPaq 914c - they both have the speed, the memory, GPS, and the form-factor I want. I think I like the i-mate 8502 better because of the portrait screen orientation.
If the Samsung SCH-i760 became available in a GSM version (it's EV-DO only now), that would be a definite contender too.

I tried the LG Viewty in Harrods and was very disappointed by it: slow interface response (can't beat the iPhone at all), felt cheap, hard to understand interface. Yes, video recording is good, but it just doesn't outweigh the other factors.

I suspect that by the time I'm ready to upgrade in 18 months or so, the market will be littered with WM phones that offer similar form and function to the Tilt. (Note to self: be sure it comes with the damn video drivers).
I can guarantee that my next purchase will not be an HTC product.

I have the Kaiser but my sentiments are the same as above, I have 12 months left on my contract but if the iPhone goes 3G then I'll buy one. Personally I have had enough of HTC and their couldn't give a s#@t attitude over the Kaiser driver problems has switched me off to them.
If I had the money now I'd buy a Samsung i-780

Meizu
Check out this link nice I can't wait
I'm getting this phone when it comes out in the summer
http://www.engadget.com/tag/meizu/

Something like a Universal successor (Omni?). Don't understand why HTC doesn't release a new device in this form factor.

I wanted to replace my Kaiser for its poor EDGE performance. First I considered the HP 614 but reports of low external speaker volume and dodgy navigation wheel put me off. Then I thought of the Imate 9502 but there is something seriously wrong as it has a free program memory (RAM) of 30 MB only which just does not tie up with its total RAM of 128 MB. The Samsung i780 another option, but again there are reports of some programs not compatibe with its uncommon screen size and that it is only tri-band. So I will be waiting for the Xperia and in the meantime hope that HTC releases a ROM upgrade which solves my slow EDGE connection problem and relieves me of the need to upgrade.

Even though I haven't received my Tilt yet, (FedEx is saying today) the only phone I would replace it with would be the Xperia X1...

Nothing at the moment, but maybe the X1 like everyone mentioned, or the TyTN III.

Nokia N95 & Xperia X1.
N95 screen is simply amazing although without touch screen but it's outperformed the screen of most PDA devices.
Cheers,
Vibranze

Must have everything on my TyTN II: GPS, QWERTY (better designed - don't put the 0 and the . on the same key...) , WiFi, Bluetooth, U.S. GSM and HSDPA bands, touchscreen.
Would want:
At least a 320x480 or larger touchscreen (miss that from my old TX)...
More responsive graphics - not take 3 seconds to switch landscape to portrait
A camera that actually is worth taking pictures with....
and my #1 complaint - A Normal Headphone jack.

I gt a Tytn II [vario 3 branded] and an athena [ameo branded] in the last 2 days, intending to only keep one. Its amazing how, having got the kaiser the day before the athena, i thought id keep it over the athena, but today my athena arrived, and theres no choice to make. It's just better. So what would I rpelace my kaiser with? an athena. or even the new athena for about 400 quid more
Rory

The sad thing is that there is not much out there that tempts me right now. I am a distributor for all of the major brands like I-Mate, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Etc and paying cost helps a lot.
Right now I am using a Black N82 and an Atom Life. I am really happy with the Atom Life. I would probably have the Touch Cruise but I like the size factor of the Atom Life over the Touch Cruise (& that MWg sent me one on the house).
The X1 like everyone said looks great, but I am not the biggest fan of slide out keyboards.
I hope that the I-Mate 8502 and 9502 can live up to the hype, I really do. HP could have done so much more with the 614 and 914, personally I feel they let me down.
If the Atom V had tri band HSDPA, I would be all over it. I think its much nicer then the Touch Cruise. To replace the N82, ill grab the Nokia E71 - which is a GREAT Phone. Got my hands on one for a few minutes and I think it will sell very well.
