This phone was good for its time in 2007 but now 2009, many things have caught up.If you want tv, you can get a better phone for around 90$(most probaly a Nokia or SE clone with extensible antena).If you want the whole round experience, suggest an HTC instead.No this phone has no integrated antenas but the price was steep but competitive at the time.Now it goes for around 250$ to 300$.The HTc touch is 200mhz but you will not see difference.Yes this one has 400mhz processor but sensetivity is not that super.It has no touchflow like HTC.Tv function is Analog..this is slowly dying in the world and near non exisistant in North America.You can cheaper better phones with DVB capabilities now. When i had this phone, i had to reboot it a lot.i do not know if it was a defective device or if it was the whole line of the product.
What i can say is that when i use to enter a lot of programs even with a big capacity card, the phone was underperfoming.Even with bare minimum it would glitch from time to time.Battery was an issue as well but you had two of them.Between the HTC touch and this one, i go for HTC.Never had any problems with HTC even if it is weaker in MHZ but it never shows.The Gygabyte Camera is pretty stale for 2 mpx..not quality at all.The pictures look like it came from a 0.3 mpx cam.

Tv works fine if you plug external antenna and even works with Cable TV and Didigt TV.If you want tv to work with anenna then you got to live close to a Tv transmitter

This is an awesome looking phone with awesome features. And yes indeed it is ahead of it's time. Mine is the beautiful orange/gold color. However the phone has a major problem with the batteries. My first battery died after just 2 months, the second lasted only 2 weeks, and neither of them will charge. The phone will only power on when it is plugged into the wall adapter plug. The battery signal shows it is charging the battery, then after a short time, it says it is charged. A minute later it will freeze, and stops operating, until you take the battery out, and start all over again. Very frustrating when i only brought it a few months ago new, and only used it for a little over 2 months. And now i can't use it at all. If anyone can help me out here, i would appreciate it. I can't find an authorised repairer in Australia. And the useless (ebay asian seller) i brought it through, only offered a 30 day warranty. I tried to ask him to help me out with the problem i had, as i only had it for a little over 2 months, but he pretty much gave me a bull shit story about the thirty day warranty speel, then i never heard back from them. Now i have a phone i can't get a replacement battery in australia for, and i can't find anyone to repair it. Great phone, but no much good to me if i can't use it. And i was very excited about getting this phone too. Now its just another brick, only it's vertually brand new.

I use this device for a year without major problem. 400Mhz CPU and 128 ROM provide decent operation but there's 256 ROM available.
The touchscreen is not as responsive as HTC but I get used to it. The TV is OK, no TV out unfortunately and it's better to use the antenna instead of the headset which act as antenna also. Sound clarity is OK, but speaker is not stereo. Camera suprisingly is slightly better than Dopod (same MP)
HTC software is not running in this PPC,but there are free sw in the net which can substitute the touch keypad, the larger contact even HTCTouchflo or iphone-alike:). I don't use YM but Skype is fine.
In the box, they also give spare battery, stylus pen.
Bottomline, it's a low price device with fair performance. No much thing to complain, except I broke the glass (yes, it's glass not plastic) which cover the camera, within 1 month purchased. You will too....
