1. this thing is HUGE and when I mean HUGE, I mean REALLY HUGE.
Just forget anything you ever new about a Pocket PC, the P6500 Sedna beats it all
in size, with the exception of the HTC X7xxx/Advantage series. Kind of a Pocket PC on steroids. I have small hands and I hardly(actually I can't at all) use this thing with one hand only, simply because my thumb isn't long enough.
2. the P6500 Sedna build quality is impeccable, this thing is really made of nice materials. The casing is black(not brownish as some pictures may indicate), it is a dull black, "stealth" like, not glittery at all and it feels well in your hand, kind of semi-soft material. This makes sure that this thing doesn't slide out of your hand accidentally.
3. the HUGE display which by the way only HTC and maybe god know why it is QVGA low resolution, is a bit dull and colors look washed out. Not really the display you want to use for video playback or viewing pictures. On the other hand, the display can be used outdoors, even in bright sunlight. Not as good as the display on my Blackberry Curve regarding direct sunlight but still very good. Also worth mentioning: you can easily use this display with your fingers only, simply because it is HUGE and because, surprise surprise, your fingerprints don't seem to stick to it. I used the P6500 for a couple of minutes with my fingers only and I wasn't able to see one single fingerprint on the display, very impressive.
4. can't say much about video playback capability, I didn't try it yet(my bad). The device feels responsive and fast though, not as fast as a homecooked WM 6 edition but still not bad at all.
5. the speaker is pretty loud, very nice. Ringtones and the speakerphone deliver a very good loudness, I like that. Not so nice: the speaker on the P6500 sounds a bit metal can like, not as pleasant as on other high quality phones.
6. reception is very good, I get a HSDPA connection most of the time and it is at par with the Nokia E90 I'd say. Very impressive seems to be the GPS reception quality, I got a FIRST fix(using Tom Tom 6) in about 15(!) seconds and even more impressive: I got this first fix under a covered(!) and closed roof windows...8(!) satellites. I was still able to receive the signal of 4(!) satellites around one meter away from the windows. WOW!
7. it is a pitty that HTC didn't supply some sort of belt holster for the P6500. The little cheap looking pouch supplied with the unit is pretty much useless. It will be difficult to find a fitting holster for this "little" giant.
8. the HTC P6500 comes pretty much naked, no navigation software installed, nothing special either. Just the fingerprint scanner software is supplied, nothing more.
9. the fingerprint scanner works flawlessly and it is very fast, it is fun to use, definetely.
I don't know how safe this baby is but it works so far very well.
10. the built-in 3MP camera delivers decent pictures but it annoys the user with a countdown from 3 to 1, seriously, no kidding. It is almost impossible to take fast moving pictures at the highest quality setting...well, maybe you could take a picture of a snail moving. HTC definetely needs to take some lessons in the camera department because so far, most of their cameras on their devices STINK.
11. the built-in 1GB NAND memory is a nice feature but with two SD(IO) slots, I wonder if this really was necessary. I don't understand why HTC didn't offer 256 MB RAM and 1GB Flash instead but anyway...1GB NAND is not bad at all, it is fast and you can't loose it.
What HTC could improve:
1. VGA instead of QVGA resolution
2. less "dull" and more colorful display
3. built-in phone speaker should sound more natural
4. camera without the annoying countdown
5. reduction of length by aprox. 1 cm, reduction of width by aprox. 0.5 cm and reduction of depth by aprox. 0.5 cm. This would improve the handling of the P6500 with one hand only
6. touch flow or similar would be actually perfect for the P6500, don't have a clue why it isn't even optional
Seriously, I got almost a shock when I saw the P6500 for the first time. It is SOOOOO HUGE. Still: the size has some sort of coolness factor, can't describe it with words.
Some retailers in Germany advertise the HTC P6500 as the perfect tool for the police, security forces, emergency services, etc. I'm not sure if this has to do with the built-in fingerprint scanner or if the unit is more rigid than other HTC units(no info here) but I still wonder what this giant could do more or better than other WM6 units. Yes, the P6500 has two SD(IO) slots, they come very handy and you may be able to install various tools like scanners, laser taggers or whatever. HTC eventually needs to launch a completely new accessory line for the P6500.
Is it worth buying it? Well...I don't know. Most dealers over here in Germany are asking around 750-799 EUR(incl. VAT) for the P6500, the dealer I played with it at asked 699 EUR for it, not bad compared to the others but still a lot of money. I own the Samsung i780 which is a VERY FAST Pocket PC with a gorgeous display and a great video playback capability, GPS, etc. etc. etc. I paid 450 EUR for this little thing, I just don't see the advantage of the additional 249 EUR for the P6500, especially since there don't seem to be homecooked ROMs available yet.
One things seems to be sure though: you won't see the P6500 Sedna in many hands, making it a pretty exotic Pocket PC in my opinion.
As soon as I have some testing results regarding video playback, etc., I'll post them here.
Sorry, no ROM dump since this isn't my property.
The unit I tested has ROM version 1.10.407.3 dated 01/23/08.
Radio ROM was 1.58.21.23.
The CPU is a Qualcomm 7200 at 400 MHz speed.
Little update regarding video playback: I played a 800MB sized video(Divx) file from a 4GB SDHC memory card using the TCPMP player. No stuttering at all, definetely MUCH better than HTC TyTN II video playback(heavy stuttering of video file).
So it seems to be true...the P6500 does have the necessary extra video drivers for the chipset.
Hi,
THX for the short review, could you please post (if possible) the OS mobile version, may be you can get post the video drivers too...!!
not the drivers, if you could dump the rom itself that would be great, if you go to htcclassaction.org, they are asking for rom dumps form the sedna, so maybe you can help them

Sorry but I already answered this:
1. this isn't my property, so I can't extract the ROM
2. I already provided the ROM/Radio version but
if you need to know details, here there are:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)
Right now, I consider the P6500 to be some sort of special usage Pocket PC with no real value for the regular WM user and/or HTC gadget lover.
Yes, it looks weird and huge and the fingerprint scanner works great but this can't be all. The outdoor display is worth mentioning too but on the other hand, it seems to be "dull" and the colors look washed-out, not really a display for video playback and/or picture viewing. I hate to say this but stay away from this thing, it won't make you happy.
isnt there already a rom dump in the kaiser thread..

Alright, so i was chosen to represent our beloved Samsung Captivate at my university tomorrow. We will be on OWL TV (Florida Atlantic University's TV station) in a head to head match between the Samsung Captivate and the Iphone 4 as the best phone. There will be an At&t Rep in the background so i need to know my facts!
I need to know EVERYTHING i can say that will completely obliterate any chance of the Iphone 4 winning.
I am going to be going to work in about 15 minutes, so i wont be able to check back on here until tonight, but i will DEFINITELY be using the information in this thread tomorrow at 5:30 when i go on.
If you can, please not only say the feature of the Captivate, but also why it is better than the Iphone 4.
Lastly, i don think that hacking features (such as rooting, sideloading, etc are a good thing to say in front of the At&t rep, and it might be too techy for the majority)
Thanks Everyone! Help me win!! >
Live wallpapers-- better because i like a little fluid motion
Backing from google- Apple is a bunch of blood sucking douchebags (no antenna problem)
Better dev community - apple really doesn't have one
mobile hotspot- enough said
widgets- no need to waste time opening an entire app
Not just one update per year - apple only gives about one major update and thats when new phone comes out
What you'll have to think of
1) Why android isn't mass produced? It is, and potentially a bad thing
2) iphone is "premium materials", slip beautiful screen/display
3)camera is much better on iphone. (1080p video)
Matter of preference
Bigger screen vs more clear screen
heres a few things that i think put the captivate over the iphone
- play flash in browser
- plays DIVX files
- super AMOLED screen is pretty nice
- has HDMI out using micro usb
- widgets
- swype keyboard
- microSD for extra storage
- true multitasking
- tethering (dunno if iphone has it or not)
^that pretty much hit most the major points
Don't like your keyboard, change it.
Don't like your browser, change it.
Can't do the above on an iphone
although is this a debate over android vs ios, or captivate vs iphone4
I think in the latter, iphone 4 wins in terms of specs. but captivate wins everything else
i would kind of agree that spec wise the iphone4 might be better.. but not ios over android
iPhone 4 is an example of form over function. It has 2 slides that are glass and an exterior antenna that is covered by your hand. Apple decided to put looks in before performance.
Then there is the lack of the customization. Every iPhone screen looks the same.
It can not be unlocked via the carrier (in North America).
Every function requires 3rd party software - it can't be used as a mass storage device - so you have to sync with iTunes (or equivalent) to get any data on the phone. If you don't sync, you can't backup what is on the phone.
Download the Beauty of Nature video by Samsung, its does a great job of showing how nice the screen is.
Android market, 75% apps are free, Iphone market, 75% of apps are paid.
The phone is an incognito smart phone, whereas everyone can tell your on an iphone (even the would be mugger).
Slide cover for micro-usb.
More than one button.
User replaceable battery.
Upgradeable memory for a fraction of the cost.
Itunes (need i say more)
Hardware vs. Software
About the only hardware features that are superior to iPhone are:
1. Screen size and color (Super AMOLED).
2. User replaceable battery.
3. SD card.
4. Less fear of damaging device (too much glass on the iphone 4).
5. Better antenna and less dropped calls.
The iPhone will beat Samsung in all other hardware specs.
Software is the Samsung/Android strength:
1. Easier app creation (number of android apps will eventually pass up iphone apps).
2. Multitasking actually works.
3. Better customization (live wallpaper; widgets).
4. More options than you can shake a stick at (might be viewed as a negative to some).

why? same ram. same cpu. both have agps, six-axis gyro, compass. the captivate even supports bluetooth 3 while the ip4 only does bt 2.1+edr. both do 720p video. yes the camera in ip4 does produce better video/pictures. but spec wise they're identical. both have gorilla glass. the galaxy is lighter, while the ip4 supports quad-band hsdpa (and quad band edge/2g) while captivate is tri-band hsdpa (and quad-band edge/2g). captivate has better video codec support.
what specs are you talking about?
Here's a list that might be helpful:
http://capfaq.com/w/IPhone_Comparison
You should also mention true multi-tasking. iOS applications must support multi-tasking for it to work on the iPhone, if your application (a lot of them don't) doesn't support multi-tasking then it won't work.

You're absolutely right. I was ignoring the obvious similarities and eluding to the actual differences like camera, construction quality, and screen resolution. Although, codec support is actually a software feature.
On the camera and screen resolution you have valid points, but not construction quality. I prefer the feel of the captivate (light phone with a smooth glass screen and great feeling battery cover. Thus that point about quality would be subjective.

I was speaking in terms of actual quality as in the materials used. The iphone feels more solid than the Cap, and costs more to build, but that doesn't mean it's more comfortable to use.
Captivate is awesome media playback device.
1. Good display ratio for wide screen films and 4" screen. (iPhone is square outdated.....)
2. Easy to load videos on, no need for iTune's , just plug drag and drop on any PC. (iPhone frustrating restrictions on iTunes and limited versatility)
3 .Can play back MKV natively ! and several misc. xvid,divx,avi. (same as above)
4. Can display external and internal subtitles(with appropriate player app from market eg. "mVideoplayer") (no alternate options of playback software on iphone)
5. Comes with integrated 16GB and ability to add another 32GB Micro SDHC (witch i personally have done) 48GB of Media entertainment.
These are main reasons why i got captivate instead of iPhone4.
Ok I have had both phones iphone 4 and currently captivate. Someone said they both have gorilla glass while that might be somewhat true, Iphone 4's glass isnt as good as samsung, I have seen plenty videos to prove it. I have had my captivate for about 2 months and I dont have a single not even tiny scratch on the screen, my iphone 4 which was less then a month old had them all over the screen tiny little scratches.
Overall I think samsungs gorilla glass is much stronger from what i seen then Iphone 4.
Captivate has a better GPU, a bigger screen, and more vibrant colors (though the iphone has a higher resolution screen). Both have similar CPU, battery life, and built-in storage capacity, though the captivate has an SD slot to expand the storage.
Software wise, the captivate is more customizable both out of the box and after hacks. Iphone may be able to jailbreak, but we have access to our actual source code, and can change the OS we use down to a fundamental level. The Captivate supports flash, and with Froyo, it supports 10.1 flash on webpages.
The crushing weakness is the Captivate's GPS. It is broken out of the box. It can be partially fixed with a few different fixes, but it should be completely fix with the Froyo update.
forget the micro usb to hdmi, that's not confirmed as far as I know, maybe a future feature.
look at the interface, apples one big button is easy but not intuitive if that makes sense. the closest thing they have to organization is folders, all apps go on the home screen and you have to sort through a number of icons on a number of screens. android runs widgets so no need to first find then open an app for common things. android has folders, an app drawer to keep icons our of the way. froyo will have a full blown task manager, task managers and switchers are available on android market for 2.1. android shows the six most recent apps running or not which is convenient if you inadvertently close an app that you would like to use again without looking for the icon again. better universal search, hardware key long press binding can be changed with free 3rd party software creating shortcuts to common tasks, you can exit apps with our without killing them, (home key vs back key) , swype, ability to change keyboard, faster scrolling of app drawer than I phones home screens in list view, 3rd party launchers allow scrolling of grid app drawer view.
the camera shoots in low light with night mode, no flash but led flashes are only good for extremely dark close shots, maybe no more than 10-15 feet and look unnatural. the night mode looks very natural in minimal light,
panoramic photos, high contrast amoled screen.
non proprietary data connector, dlna support, more media formats, expandable storage.
cheaper insurance, repairs available through att not just apple stores.
ok I'm running out of things for now. and I can't honestly say the captivate is better, more geek friendly maybe and definitely a better interface I'm my eyes. it comes down to user preference, hopefully you can open up some eyes to what's available and not just be wowed by the array of iphones and accessories in the att store. att doesn't even give this phone any press, they have blackberry and aria commercials, but the captivate commercials don't name the device our outline a single feature they just show a quick picture. the epic and fascinate get alot of press as potential Iphone competitors add well as the new motodroids and htc snapdragon phones.
the iphone is a fine piece of hardware but the interface and apple policies turn me away, hope that helps.

Hi,
I am considering the Infuse since the Arc seems a bit too small (I'm using a Dell Streak atm) and I would like to ask some questions about this phone.
1.Most of the phones I've own have a big problem when recording videos during the night or in low light conditions; they tend to drop/skip frames since the camcorder tries to compensate for the lack of light, resulting in very choppy/blurry videos especially for HTC devices. Does the Samsung Infuse follow this trend and are you satisfied with the quality for night/low light movies?
2.I've read that there is also a continuous autofocus for the cam - if you zoom while recording a video, does the camera re-focus or is the video grainy/pixelated?
3.How does the speaker sound? Is it on the low or high volume? I mean, does the music sound clear/crisp and loud, or does it need some boosting in a next firmware?
Thanks for your help!!
Answer
In low light the camera on the infuse performs as well as my Canon Rebel $400 digital camera. This goes for video and stills. The zooming is digital. At 8mp you can zoom pretty far before getting grainy, but as with ALL cell phone cameras you will never be able to take a photo of a college football game when you're sitting in the stands, it just can't zoom that far. The zoom is better than any phone camera I have ever seen, save one device that was primarily a camera and had a klunky phone afterthought. The speaker is loud and crisp. Very decent for playing a tune while I get ready in the morning when I can't use headphones. Hope the info helps.
Thanks for your input - it's really what I was hoping for before considering this phone. This was very helpful!! Thank you!
I've been debating between this device and the upcoming LG Optimus G, so I'm hoping to get some of my questions answered so I can make a better decision.
#01. Speed and Performance
Generally, is the phone fast?
Do you ever notice any lag when scrolling between home screens, or launching applications?
While browsing the internet, do you ever get checker boarding while pages are loading?
How is the browsing experience? Is it fluid or laggy? A web browser's performance is a deal breaker for me.
Do games run smoothly? I know when I tried playing Scramble on some Android devices it was really laggy.
#02. Display Quality
Do you notice any pixelation due to the pentile display?
I know that on a lot of AMOLED displays, the phone tends to turn the brightness down on large areas of white. Does the Razr HD do this when there's a lot of white on a page? (makes the white look grey)
Following the previous question, do whites look bright or dull? I know AMOLED makes blacks look deep, but the white brightness is my main concern. When I had the Galaxy Nexus, the phone made whites look really grainny and grey.
#03. Music and Sound Quality
Do you notice any static or noise coming from the headphone jack when you have headphones plugged in?
How's the sound quality when using headphones?
How's the sound quality when using the speaker?
I know I'm asking a lot of questions, so any responses are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

1) yes
2) I used to, but after rooting the phone and changing kernel governor from 'ondemand' to 'interactive' it went away.
3) no
4) I have not played any games yet
1) display seems great to me
2) I have not noticed that
3) the whites look good to me... A tad nicer than my old galaxy nexus
1) no static, but I noticed some distortion which was fixed by disabling the audio effects
2) the sound quality is awesome, although I'm using good quality sennheiser headphones and music is in FLAC format
3) the speaker is decent, but you can't expect much from such a tiny speaker.

Thx for the info, was truly helpful to me. Question for you. How have you liked \ disliked the transition from the Nexus? Verizon gave me a loaner Nexus to use until they can get me an alternate replacement for my inop Galaxy S3s... so I am just waiting for a RAZR HD to get sent out. After a few days of use, I am finding I really enjoy jellybean, but the Nexus seems a bit small. I also don't like the fact that I have to put all of my files on the internal memory. Is there anything you miss from the Nexus?
Thx, in advance.
hmmmm, Im waiting on a white droid razr hd as well from verizon to replace my gs3....Im still on the fence with the different opinions on the cell signal..some say its better some say its not....I average -112dbm on my Gs3
1. yes, aosp fast
2. first time I scroll left to the quick settings page it stutters, not lags, thats it though
3. no
4. smooth
5. words with friends and angry birds are smooth, that's all I've played
1. white text has a very very slight pixelation if you hold it about an inch from your face and really look for it
2. very sharp display, very bright and vibrant
3. Much better than the nexus
1. no
2. excellent, I have 4700 songs on my sd card, I use it heavily for music, plug in my Beats and it sounds awesome
3. as good as a phone speaker will be, much lounder than the s3 and nexus

1) Yes. So fast.
2) as mentioned, swiping to the leftmost (settings) screen stutters, but doesn't slow down. Other screen transitions are fine.
3/4) No checker effect. Chrome loads the pages very quickly and smoothly, and navigating the pages is just plain sexy.
5) the pre-loaded game (MC3) runs great, and it seems demanding.
1) In order to see pixels, I have to bring the phone so close that my eyes are crossed.
2/3) whites are beautiful and bright.
1/2) my headphones are crap so I couldn't say
3) The speaker quality is decent, but it gets so loud I have to turn it down near halfway most of the time while on speakerphone or watching something on netflix.
Only complaint with the phone thus far is camera quality, and really it isn't THAT bad...
The OnePlus 6 has a few gaming-specific tricks up its sleeve. The Gaming Do Not Disturb mode is now simply called Gaming mode, similar to what we’ve seen on the likes of the OnePlus 5 and 5T thanks to recent software updates. All the new features that we’ve seen the updates add to the previous generation are available in the OnePlus 6 gaming mode as well.
So you get the option to block notifications while you are gaming, automatically route incoming calls to the speaker, or lock the brightness level during your gaming session. These settings can all be applied to apps that you classify as a game via the settings. The Gaming battery saver mode is still available as well, and we'll see in a bit how that performs on the OnePlus 6.
What's new with the OnePlus 6 is the ability to prioritise the bandwidth available to your games to ensure your experience is as lag-free as possible. Known as Network Boost, this setting ensures that titles with online connectivity like PUBG Mobile and Super Mario Run get priority access to the Internet connection.
we played current Android hit PUBG Mobile. While the game defaulted to its Medium setting, we bumped it up to High, as the Ultra HD option isn’t available yet, and it looked great. From the foliage to weapon models, and even its vehicles, PUBG Mobile is fantastic on the OnePlus 6. It helps that the big screen let us take in more of the surroundings without having to worry about the game’s controls covering up areas we’d be looking at. The only issue is that minor screen elements present on the edges such as the option to change seats in a vehicle, appear to be cropped off. This was with both full screen viewing enabled and disabled.
How good is OnePlus 6 for gaming?
In terms of thermals, the OnePlus 6 just got moderately warm during strenuous skirmishes in Arena of Valor and ran surprisingly cool in everything else, even outdoors. The AMOLED display held up well in direct sunlight too and despite just a single bottom-facing speaker, the sound was decent if you decide not to use its 3.5mm headphone jack — an increasing rarity among flagships.
All in all, the OnePlus 6 is an excellent followup to last year’s OnePlus 5 in terms of gaming performance with improvements across the board thanks to its generous specs and excellent heat management. Regardless of your affinity for the notch and a gaming battery saver mode that isn't as well-optimised as it possibly could be, this is one of the better phones for gaming this year.
