to fiftyone, I am not chef, but I wish to give a help on your question. I am not an owner of this phone, neither the TyTN II Kaiser phone, but I think the TyTN II is more popular because one factor is it has built-in GPS, while this phone doesn't have (according to this site) and another thing is that the brand HTC when it comes to PDA has already established its name. I don't know if my answer was just or has helped your question, but I hope somehow, it did. thanks. :-)

SCENIC:

1. Is the text really readable at 800x480? Does all apps work at this res? Is the screen visible in sunlight?
Not visible at sunlight, the text is readable but really small, and not all programs work at that res (ex, SPB NOW screen)

2. Does it support A2DP?
Yes

3. Does the performance lag when 4-5 Apps are running simultaneously?
The performance is good. also with lots of apps open.

4. Can it record video at 640x480@30fps?
no, only QVGA

5. Anybody knows if this handset is available in Malaysia! And what could be the price?
No idea

Thanks in advance.

oh well.... n95 8gb might win this but n95 lose totally if you talkin about pda phone as n95 don have touch screen, smaller screen, & basically you guys cant compare with this 2 phones as n95 more likely to be a 'phone' meanwhile g900 more likely to be a 'pda phone' juz a piece of my mind no hard feelin

The_Chef it would be great if you could give us an update on your experiences with the G900.
It appears that this phone is not as popular as HTC's TyTN II which seems to be selling well. I wonder why? There must be specific reasons.
Toshiba were brave to go for a staggering WVGA res on a three inch screen so they should be commended. Yet it is clear that the present day PPC user craves for and expects fast, dynamic, reliable operation.
FDR operation coupled with VGA and WVGA res on small screens
(2.6-3.5 inch screens) is proving to be an Everestian challenge!

Future firmware will solve most of the problems.If you care to think back a few years the htc jasjar was released and even though it had a 520mhz cpu it was quite slow,now with an updated ROM the jasjar is very fast indeed.Same deal with the G900

Well, guys. So far very quick thoughts. I still have it but...
try HTC before buying this toy. Memory is not enough to run even small package of programs. Painfull! Believe me. You are not thinking of modern phone. You are thinking of Pocket PC. What them the point if simple phone has sometimes even more power and capability? So this is the main lack of G900. That is why perhaps the camera hang the system. Or sometimes it dies and you have to remove and then set battery again. Maybe this is not a common thing. And resolution! Trust me it is not more important than the other features. So I'd prefer less this stuff rather than limitation in other features. CPU is realy a little slow compared to HTC. And camera is terrible 'cause without auto focus it is pointless.

Hi all,
Great day. Found every thing promising so far with G900. But recently found in myg900.com that this phone is pretty slow compared to others even if it has fast processor. Any real user can share experiences?

Also does anyone know if it does have a graphics or 3D chip inside?

Anybody know which could be the best alternate of this one (ofcourse WM6)?

Best Regards.

Would appreciate very much if somebody could explain the below concerns:

1. Any real user to share the experience with 800x480 resolution. Are the texts really readable at that res? does all apps work? is the screen visible in sunlight?

2. Does the performance lag when 4-5 Apps are running simultaneously?

3. Can it record video at 640x480@30fps?

4. Anybody knows if this handset is available in Malaysia! And what could be the price?

Thanks in advance.

The specs are great but in papers everything looks fine. Would appreciate very much if any real user could explain the below concerns:

People, i absolutely love this phone for its screen (have a TyTN right now).
Almost went to buy it, but decided to see experiences with it. And they are awful! Take a look for example at myg900.com how many people are complaining...
I guess it is not time for replacing my TyTN...
