3. AND I know someone else who got a touchscreen HTC at the same time that I got this phone. 5. Sometimes my mail downloads, sometimes not.2. I have never written a review but I hate this phone so much I had to write it, I take care of my electronics and I am so angry that I have this phone.
Let me list the reasons why this phone is the worst tech investment ever: 1. I just want to trash this phone with a bat but it costs $400.00. Everything else remains the same. And now i am getting an error message about low storage space that pops up every few minutes even though i have deleted almost everything on the phone.
If you enter 3 numbers for the same contact, the name shows up 3 times, not just once w/ 3 numbers connected to it. And he also takes care of his phone. When it does download, sometimes the whole message downloads, sometimes it downloads partially although my settings are for the full message. 4. HTC is not ready for prime time.
I just realized that I have the S710 not the S710 VOX. 6. I e-mailed HTC tech help DAYS ago about the memory alert and I have not gotten any response yet. His touch screen already has stopped working. One minute its fully charged, the next hours, maybe not even a whole day it's dead. Instead, get a blackberry, an i-phone, get a wire and two cups. I bought this phone about 5 months ago.
anything else but an HTC. This phone is a POWER HOG. And I have power saving settings on. Although this phone has nice features, it is not easy to use and for the hassle that it is, it's not worth the money. Or you'll be very sorry.
I've had this phone for over a year and I love it. It still works, but the battery life, which was amazing before (2-3 days of moderate use without charging), isn't what it used to be. (I'm a guy with slender fingers, so someone with thicker fingers would probably have more of an issue).Otherwise, this is a great phone, but only for the casual user.
Here are some of the things I'm not crazy about:> No 2.5mm headphone jack, just the USB> Sometimes a little slow/glitchy, but not bad.> Only one, not very smart, alarm clock. But someone wanting a phone that's nicer than just a run-of-mill freebie from your provider, but not a full on, business intensive PDA/phone, then this is for you.Call quality in any mode (handset, speaker, headset) is perfect, features are really good (Word, Excel, Adobe reader, etc)., Windows Media Player, etc. It's not without its faults, but overall you can't beat it.
I don't think business users would have tolerance for some of the features it lacks and for the money, you could get something more suited to your needs. This one is probably a small issue for most people, but I use my phone as an alarm clock a lot and it basically treats it like an appointment, so snooze options are really funky and I can't choose the tone. There's probably a program or something I could install, but it would have been nice to not have to mess with.> The keyboard buttons are small, but I can navigate and type still with only a few errors.
Basically, I'm only shopping again because the kids got mine wet and it shorted out. I'll be trying to either fix my phone or replace it, but not changing models unless I really have too.
I have had at least 10 different types of Smartphones. I have been using this phone for about 6 months and it is without question the best. The only negative--if you use the screen a lot, the battery life is not as strong as I would like. Every phone I have tried has this same problem.
excelent phone, i've had ppc-6700 and a treo 650. what i like more about the htc is the size, is quite small almost to the size of a motorola a-1200, very practical and fast.the downside is the lack of touchscreen
It feels like high quality. Every day it went off at the same time no matter how many times I deleted the alarm. This phone seemed soooooo awesome out of the box. I set an alarm for everyday when I wake up. Everything else is great. You turn it on and its easy to use, sounds good, and has a great speakerphone.But here are a couple problems I had with the phone.Poor reception. but it still wouldn't shut off.
Also it would activate the alarm about 50 times in the same moment, causing the device to freeze and no way to reset it, unless you take the battery out. It looks bodacious. and if the phone is locked it's very hard to shut the alarm off before you want to throw the phone against the wall. About 3 or 4 times in the first 2 weeks of owning this phone, my reception would cut out for hours at a time no matter where I was in town.ALARM PROBLEMS. Well I switched shifts so I disable the alarm on the phone. WHICH CAN BE VERY FRUSTRATING when you're trying to sleep in.I have read in online posts that this has happens to lots of S710 owners. good wi-fi, calls, etc.
