HTC TYTN II Smartphone P4551/KAISER Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is not so often I really like electronic devices, especially microsoft software run devices, but this device takes the cake. The complexity of mobile devices is insane today. Some devices take an amazing amount of time to learn and even then have problems that only an expert can resolve. This phone (and software) on the otherhand is absolutely user friendly and functions properly for the general public (I include myself in the general public considering my lack of programming skills, limited knowledge of the interworkings of these complex electronic devices, and the limited time I will dedicate towards configuring the devices).

As a comparison, I own two symbian phones (a nokia e61 and a sony ericsson p1i). Symbian is just trouble from the start. I thought I was crazy, but after starting to use this phone, wizards take on a new meaning. I had my gmail account setup in 30 seconds on the tytn ii unlike the numerous problems of setup with the other phones. Almost anytime I find the need to figure out a feature, I can usually find the option within 30 seconds, or if I cant, the HTC manual is complete and orderly therefore allowing a usually quick reference to determine the necessary configuration.

The number of utilities this phone has is just fabulous. Considering the phone size, many people say it is huge, I say it couldnt be better. It is smaller than my e61, although thicker. It is a bit of a brick at first touch sense it is 190grams, but with the features, you just can complain. The battery life is somewhat of a problem if you use continuous email. I have found though, that when I switch my email to only push and shut off the data connections the rest of the time, I get about three days on a charge, so truly the battery functions just well. I dont think any other devices can run a constant data connection much longer anyway.

To finish, this is my business phone. It does the job. It does it better than most other phones probably can and with greater ease (less necessary contact with your crumby tech support guys). If you need half of the options this phone delivers, dont hestitate!

Garmin Dashboard Disk 2-Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought a new car, so I needed new dashboard disk to mount my Nuvi. these seemed like a reasonable price for what appeared to be factory OEM disks.

When I received them I cleaned the dashboard with alcohol to make sure the adhesive would stick, removed the cover from the adhesive disk, and pressed it against the dashboard. Would not stick. I tried the other one. No-go. I touched the adhesive with my finger , and there was no adhesion - it did not feel sticky at all.

I contacted the seller for a refund, heard nothing. A week later sent another request for a refund, this time I got a refund.

IO Gear GBGPS201 Bluetooth GPS Kit -US and Canada Maps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We used to have the Belkin Bluetooth GPS but it broke down. The main disadvantages for the Belkin one was the lack of sufficient points of interest (shops, restaurants, etc.) in our area (Portland, OR) and the inaccuracies in the GPS locations (10-30 feet off).

The IOGEAR Bluetooth GPS has a major advantage over the Belkin one: it has the same software but un updated version that significantly improves the number of pints of interests (POI). The positioning inaccuracies remain and it is bulkier (although with better batery life).

On the overall usage:

- it works fine with the Dell X30 that we have, connection is smooth, not that difficult to setup the first time
- the software has voice guidance so you don't have to keep an eye on it. It doesn't spell the names of the streets except when the names are actually numbers.
- on our PDA the rerouting if you missed a turn or an exit is very fast (much faster than on dedicated Garmin or Magellan GPS gizmos)
- another advantage over the dedicated solutions: you can use the addresses associated with your contacts to setup a route

HP iPAQ rx5915 Travel Companion Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's a GPS with all the pocket PC features, not a PPC with GPS features. This is a GPS first! It's basically the same as a TomTom One navigation system, but with the added PPC functions. I've had other GPS/PDA/PPC combos in the past and they don't stack up to this one at all!

Lets look at the GPS first:

The map issue that others are having is going to depend on where you live or where you will be using this unit. Try different GPS's software, as they aren't all the same.

Personally, I like the Magellan software for it's "Dings" when approaching a turn, as well as it's "Approaching destination on the left" notifications. TomTom doesn't tell you what side of the street your destination is on, except for the location on the screen (no verbal prompt.)TomTom however has a much better itinerary planning capability than the Magellan, one feature I liked more.

You can load your own custom POI's if you want, but the TomTom POI's are a little lacking. It's not like I found everything in my Magellan either though. It depends on how much you want to rely on the POI's. As an advantage, since this is wifi enabled and has pocket internet explorer, you can always use the internet to find the POI you are looking for.

The biggest negative I have is with the GPS fix time. It's slow. I mean really slow. Sometimes it can take a few minutes, and if you are already moving it seems to take even longer. Up to several minutes.

I wish one of the buttons was a mute/un-mute button, but it's something I can live without.

The car cradle is the best one I've ever used. It's very easy to mount, and it's even easier to insert the GPS and remove it. Takes no time at all. Since it's powered by mini-usb, this is an added bonus for me, as my cell phone charges on the same connection.

Battery life is excellent, it lasts about 5 hours for my use so far. Enabling wifi or bluetooth will of course lower the battery performance.


Onto the PocketPC functions:

As a PPC, this thing rocks! With wifi and bluetooth you have every connection you could need. I use the internet on this more than I thought I would. I check my web based email, browse the news headlines, watch streaming video and listen to online music. It's got a few hundred megs of extra space for MP3's if you want, but I use my ipod for my mp3 listening. I also use this to store my photos. I have a phone that runs pocket windows as well, and with it's camera I can take a photo and send it via bluetooth to the PPC and add a contact in no time!

Pocket Internet Explorer doesn't always work for me. I like the Opera browser more (free 30 day trial) but I've found a few sites that wouldn't work in Opera, or looked better in Pocket IE.

It came down to this or a Magellan 3050T GPS system. I chose this because it's smaller, lighter, and has a ton of options over a stand-alone GPS. You can't compare this to a stand alone GPS because it's not. It has many more options that you may or may not use. If you are considering buying a TomTom One GPS, then get this instead. It's about the same price, runs the exact same software (TomTom 6.0) and has all the PDA features in a smaller package.

I hope this was helpful, but in the end it depends on what your looking for. I travel a lot, and needed something that had all the maps built in, was small enough to take on my carry on, could travel with me and was easy to use. I think I've found it in this unit. Just try and take one of the stand alone GPS's and casually put it in your pocket, good luck getting it out!
Additional Information:
TomTom and HP are currently working on an updated map release for this product and will (hopefully) have it available on the HP support website by the end of January. TomTom is hailing this update as "The most detailed and accurate maps of the US and Canada ever produced.."This update will also be free to owners of the RX5900 series Travel Companions.

Update 02/08/07:
HP Hasn't released an updated map pack yet, however they did release a firmware update for the unit. This update improves the GPS functionality and accuracy. I now get GPS locks in seconds, where it used to take minutes. While driving, I get a lock in 10 seconds. I get a lock faster if I'm stopped. It is definitely a significant improvement and I recommend everyone that owns one of these updates the firmware.

Nokia N810 Portable Personal Communicator/Internet Tablet/Wi-Fi Pocket PC/MP3/MP4/Audio/Video Player with 4.3" LCD Widescreen/Qwerty Keyboard/Webcam/Built-in Microphone/GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned my N810 (affectionately named N8 - or Nate) for about 6 months now and it has become invaluable to me.These are the activities with which I use it:
- communication, using Google Voice, or Skype
- receiving and sending email, either via included email client, or web-based email
- web browsing
- watching and saving YouTube videos
- tracking and mapping via GPS unit
- taking notes
- games/entertainment with OS2008 games, or using Palm Emulator and my favorite old Palm Pilot games
- listening to music; sound quality is EXCELLENT for a hand-held (and I'm a musician, and picky)!
- recording voice notes
- taking photos and making small videos for online use
- keeping recipes; its small size make it excellent for reading in my tiny kitchen...and I can listen to music at the same time!
- reading eBooks
- text messaging via Google Voice/wifi

There are only a couple of cons that I have found so far.The front-facing camera, intended for use in video conferencing, makes photography tricky at best.This is acceptable to me, though, since it was never meant to replace a digital camera.The other is that the O/S will require a learning curve for the average point-and-click Windows user.While the device is definitely easy to pick up and use with the installed software, and loading new programs from either the Nokia website or the maemo site using the application manager, most more detailed tasks will require a certain amount of learning for most; in short, it ain't Windows :).

There are numerous other uses and apps for this device. Even after 6 months I feel I've hardly scratched the surface of its possibilities. It is always on the road with me, has replaced my laptop on weekend trips, and replaced my more cumbersome bedtime books and magazines. It has saved me money in this way, and also in cell phone/texting costs; it has already paid for itself - probably twice over.

In short, N8 has replaced both my Zune and my Palm Pilot, and become itself an irreplaceable part of my life.
