HTC S620 Smartphone

Gorgeous phone - Bought this phone and had it for about 2 days so far, and absolutely LOVE it.Some people have called it a cheap blackberry, and to be honest it is in a way, except with windows and it works on pay-as-you-go.The windows mobile software is brilliant, and i like JOGGR (although its a marmite thing)Except, there s a few cons:Firstly, a few things concerning the specs - ive gone to this phone from a sony ericsson k800i, and MY GOD is there a difference between the 3.2MP Cybershot camera and the 1.3MP normal camera on this. It really is a woeful camera. Also, no 3G or radio. Although, considering I bought the £49.99 refurbished BT model from Telephones Online (which I really recommend, I cant tell it isnt brand new!) I can t expect features like a good camera and 3G for a £50 phone.Secondly, the battery life s quite bad. Every day it needs another charge. This said, haven t tried the extended battery yet but it makes the back twice as thick and heavy (if you buy this you ll realise how big the case is to fit in your pocket with the normal battery, yet alone the heavy duty one!)Finally, it does some strange things. For instance, when the keys are locked, if you press unlock and then the message key, it brings up messages even though it is locked, although you can t go any further without unlocking the keys. But what do you expect from Windows? *winkwink*Seriously though, gripes aside, an AMAZING phone, and would recommend it to anyone, as long as you don t mind living with a short battery life, no radio, and no 3G (though wifi makes up for this!!!)Second,

Too advanced for it s time - I have had this since my trip to the US over 2 years ago!!I have the T-mobile Dash incarnation but still use it even now.This is possibly the best phone I have ever used/had. I have anokia n95 8gb but I miss using the Dash because of it s slim size,the crazy texting speeds (thank you full size keyboard!) and theincredible battery life!The nokia has to be charged every day, the HTC was charged every 2/3days!! I m not too bothered about the n95 camera as it takes so longto start up and fiddle with (settings) I just bought a seperate camera!THE ONLY REASON NOT TO GET THIS PHONEIs if you cannot live without picture messaging, maybe it s just me butI have never been able to set up picture messaging with O2 on this, thatsthe only reason I don t use it as much anymore!

HTC 620. Is it just me or......... - I got mine as part of an employee discount offer. I received the phone on friday and could not wait to play with my newest new toy. I was initially very surpised by the compact yet complex approach to the design.( I expected it to be bigger!) I am used to computers and mobile phones having used many over the past 15 years. The main problem initially was the size of the keyboard which I found very difficult to use accurately,also having to hold down the keys that double as the numeric keypad is extremely hit and miss (not good with password input). Another thing about this phone is the battery life is woeful it has to be charged overnight every night even with the larger battery this is unacceptable in a phone costing this much. The only good thing intially was one of the inbuilt games which my wife really loves (saddo) This is academic really as the phones screen stopped working whilst on one of its many overnight charges. I am now waiting for another one and will post an update if the situation changes.To sum it up the jury is out at the moment.

Great phone lousy software - I ve used HTC phones in one form or another for about 3 years. I ve tolerated the windows mobile software as it gave me access to MSN, BUT I ve just been told that I now only have 30 days to use it, before i m charged (OVER & ABOVE any data charged) for the privelege of accessing MSN on my phone. I was about to buy an HTC TyTn11 but am now going to buy a Nokia n95 - no more windows mobile phones for me anymore...

HTCs620 Great Phone - HTC s620 is a great phone. It has a reasonable battery life and excellent features. I sold my Nokia N95 that was constantly crashing and it had a crap battery life. This phone is light weight and slim.
