What post? The one about it having GPS? I still see it. PM me if that's not it.

This is blank on my screen too.

Oh, didn't notice that. But I also saw a post in the Apache forum like that, from last night so it was probably a forum glitch. Just edit that post or repost what you wanted to say. No one is deleting posts here.

don't worry about it, i'l repost in time what I had to say, it was quite a long post. once I remember

Battery life seems decent thus far. I've had the phone on all day with BT and text messaging and it's currently at 80% Battery after about 7 hours.

That sounds like a big improvement. Can you try acbPowerMeter and post consumption with some common phone states (e.g. phone idling with max, min, and backlight off) if you get a chance? BTW use the left softkey to run acbPowerMeter--stylus use really spikes up the consumption.

i'll give it a shot tomorrow and let you know. I should also have a better idea of the battery life tomorrow because I just got a 2GB card for it and will be testing the A2DP thoroughly tomorrow.

"Windows Mobile and Palm OS devices have no platform to enable Verizon/Sprint/Alltel/Telus from making money off of GPS, so they don't provide the software necessary to enable it. They either have to let everyone use it, or nobody use it for navigation. Again, it's an all software limitation."

and from what that's insinuating, that doesn't say to me that Sprint is the bad guy in all of this and asks directly HTC or UTStarcom to "disable" the chip, as I've seen so many rumors floating around. an analogy would be the 6600 evdo debacle. hardware for evdo on sprint 6600 was present, but no way to control everyone to upgrade to power vision (higher $$ fee) because if you let some of them use evdo, all of them would have that option (and wouldn't have to pay).

anyway long story short, it has gpsOne but can't be used in navigational applications.

moving on!
how is voice priority? anyone test this yet? use evdo and start streaming a radio station or tv broadcast and see if it interrupts or goes to voicemail when calling.

then I want to know if while on a call you can browse the web... if one looks at the feature set of the msm 7500 chip it does say simulations cdma 1x and evdo / evdo rev a. and even though some say its a feature set of ev-dv, I've heard and read conflicting reports about if voice and data capabilities simulataneous are possible. nothing to lose by testing!

Here you go...


Andrew,

thnks a

btw I meant simulataneous in the above post regarding the msm 7500 chipset, not "simulations" as I/wm5 interpreted it lol. I'd love to hear we can browse while on a call without hanging up (and without using wifi)
