its a gd pda phone
big is the idea as i find nowadays pda is hard to c!
tatsdiy.com got a TV OUT demo on its site
At last!
Official launch date is May 15.
I see this unit as being the long awaited upgrade to my XDA2, the dimensions are very similar but it is lightyears ahead in all specs and blows away the competition. This is what htc should have been working on instead of moving its product line towards a smartphone design.
O2 asia said they would offer a free upgrade to WM6 once they have tested it.
The USB OTG will be a huge benefit, meaning this PPC will no longer be tied to synchronization with a PC - you can use it with USB flash drives, printers, cameras etc.
IMHO, this is the best all round package you can currently buy and well worth importing it if you want a XDA2 replacement. The presentation is a bit disappointing though, pretty bland but everything else is spot on.
its available in Singapore already, priced currently at SGD1498

hmm, IMHO, that looks like cheap launch price as compared to what HTC universal debuted there
It's the only PDA I know with an embedded dedicated graphics card. Here are the specs (at the store):
Memory: 128MB RAM (DUDE!), 2112MB ROM
Processor: 520mhz PXA270 (um.)
Band: Triband GSM, 3.5G
Connectivity: BT2.0, Wifi B/G, Consumer-level IR(DA)
Graphics: Nvidia GoForce 5500 (not to be confused with the GeForce Go used in Laptops, but this will help A LOT.)
Features:
USB (OTG!)
TV-Out
SRS-Audio
microSD slot (why not a standard SD? <_<)
And that's that. My only complaint is that ve haff no FM Radio - I'm not too hot about GPS yet - but methinks an iTech Clip should solve that... >_>
Anyone wants to donate $1500? -.-

It has FM radio
<_< ok, I just went back to the store. Mentioned nowhere on the brochure or flyer at all. It's something that's marketable so I don't see why it won't be mentioned unless it's not there.
I think its rediculous that they release it without WM6. I am sure they will offer an upgrade path though. Sweet phone...
I was getting ready to get it when I noticed there is no EGPRS
Living in GSM 3G deprived NA and being quite ok with EGPRS (but not GPRS) speeds I can live with that, but as far as I can tell there is no EGPRS on this one
I know sometimes manufacturers will just say GPRS and it includes both EDGE and GPRS but I have a feeling that this is not the case with the Flame?
AFAIK EGPRS is a SW thing only, so would a hack be thinkable?
Is this not an HTC made device or?
FM Radio w/RDS

Although..the X800 has almost one inch smaller screen
^ And internal memory, including system RAM, beat the pants off pretty much everything except the Dopod U1000. About the only thing it loses out to the X800 is the GPS.

I didn't, I mentioned "SRS Sound", and I refuse to quote stereo speaker and speakerphone since those are pretty much part and parcel of PPCs since 2002. As for FM Radio, yeah, my bad. I've since confirmed that it has an FM radio, but it's just not mentioned in the fliers. Rock on <_<

Dopod U100 is such a large and akward device though, I've had an O2 and iMate branded one but don't want one again...
Have been using it for nearly a week. Here's my impression:
- It's big, but not too big for shirt and jeans pocket (without any case)
- Sturdy made - much much better than the XDA trion, which is my last machine.
- Quite responsive, above average, but see battery
- Not many bundled software - no backup, UI tweak,launcher etc. and I don't like the task manager (O2 menu); it does have a better alarm and a basic wireless manager though
- Not enough buttons! (2 side buttons on the left; +/- button and camera button on the right; L/R softkeys + start and ok buttons + Call/Cancel buttons in the front) That's it. No jog dial, no calendar / contact buttons, no hold button
- Auto-focus camera with led. One word - SWEET
- 128mb RAM and 2 gig rom ... finally, this people have some sense
- Battery life, now this can be a problem. The PXA family is not known for its battery saving ability (I think the samsung 400 is better), and with a huge screen and ram to boot, I'm sure if you use the performance setting (520 mhz) and use it a lot (gaming, wireless), it won't last for even a day. It is highly recommended that you use programmes like XCPU scalar to scale the the speed to 208 when the machine is idle, and max it at 416 (which is enough for most programmes). Then the battery life will be acceptable.
- Bluetooth, crap. Not entirely O2's fault, but how come after so many years MS(uxK) still can't get it right!? I used to own the XDAIIs and the broadcom stack is much better. I tried iTech and Jarba - the call part is ok but the music part is still not done right. Let's hope with the WM6 upgrade things will be better.
Casio A-10 > Casio E250 > Mio 338 > Asus 620BT > Loox720 > XDAIIs > Asus P525 > iPAC 6818 > XDA Trion > O2 Flame
What ever happened to the age of 3.5" LCDs and decent, sensible designs?
I wish manufacturers would give us an OPTION for a "good ol' days" design with a 3.5" LCD, extra capacity battery option, memory card hot swap etc paired with current technology ie 600+ MHz processor, 256 M ram, etc
I'm sure many wouldn't mine a slightly thicker (around 17-19mm?), wider pocket PC-phone design if there's a 3.5" VGA display there.
Mind boggling questions:
1. Why is there no PDA phone which features a 600+ MHz processor (ie the latest HTC Diamond still uses 500+ MHz) when their non-phone counterparts do (ie HP 200 series)? I understand that overclock exists but why not put a fast processor straight from the factory...Cost reasons?
2. What happened to 3.5" displays on PDA phones? Again, the non-phones seem to have 3.5 inch or bigger. Battery life reasons? Or is it because of the 'small and thin' is 'in' market trend? I don't think a buyer of a business PDA phone with a qwerty keyboard and all would care much, if at all, about how stylish or aneroxic their device looks.
3. High capacity batteries...what happened to them? It should be available as an optional accessory!!
4. Hot-swappable memory card slots. I'm very disappointed that everytime I find 'that perfect PDA-phone', I find out in the end that it doesn't have hotswap (HP iPaq 600) or it doesn't have an memory card slot (HTC Diamond). Why? In fact, with the tiny size of MicroSD's nowadays, these things should have DUAL MicroSD slots...
5. Headphone jack. Back a few years, we had nice 3.5mm headphone jacks so we could plug in headsets directly. Then manufacturers moved to 2.5mm which made life a little harder having to get an adapter. And now they want to drive people crazy putting a single do-everything mini USB port (means we can't charge the battery while headphones are plugged in)? Take note NOKIA is doing the exact opposite - adding 2.5 or 3.5mm jacks as they release phones
6. Design compromises... please, no more exposed SIM card when sliding out the QWERTY keyboard... and please include a flash + self portrait mirror (ie HTC Diamond)!!
Conclusion, there seems to be no perfect PDA-phone. It's not impossible to make one, or close to perfect, but for some odd reason, manufacturers are not doing it. HTC makes lots of innovative phones but each one seems to have a compromise of sorts. HP makes very nice PDA phones but only launches new ones ONCE a year! Dell is dead.
And I refuse to support Sony Ericsson and Apple because both make VERY overpriced items
So I wanna get this Laptop. It's going to cost $1259.99. It's an HP Pavilion Laptop.

I'm so lost, I can't find any reviews online. I have till Thursday to make up my mind.
Go for a Lenovo Ideapad Y580. That's my lappy.
15 inch screen. i7-3610QM. 660M graphics. 6 gigs RAM. Backlit keyboard. You can get the 1366x768 version for $900. 1080p version for $1000. It's a beast.
You're seriously going to drop $1200+ on a laptop with a class 3 card??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, I don't mean to sound like an ass, but that's hilarious!
Definitely not worth it. PM me if you would like some help. There's A TON of better deals out there
Such as this one, so long as you don't need the 17 inch screen. If you do, let me know. I can help
Similar to what the guy above me posted about, but a little more kickass for a little less money

Of course, if you like a Lenovo (I do too) then you can take a look at This One for $629. A little lighter on the specs but it IS a Lenovo.
You should check out the Dell Inspiron 17r 7720 Special Edition. Should cost about $1200 and it has way better specs than that.
