HTC Phones: Do they Really Work???

[ReverseImage]

I've owned a couple of these HTC phones, formerly a Cingular/Siemens SX66, and also a small one by Audiovox...can't remember model but WM based, now got a Tmobile Dash.
All based on Windows Mobile, and my question is: HTC PHONES DO THEY REALLY WORK???
In the Forums I read nothing but problems, my experience's not good either. My first SX66 was defective, the replace froze way too often/needed reset (WM froze, CONNECTIVITY was POOR as it was on the Audiovox (I threw it against the wall and smashed to pieces) and STILL IS on the Dash..maybe not as BAD

I want to install a new language support on the Dash....doesn't seem to be possible

I "upgraded" to WM6 but I think I actually lost rather than gained in terms of versatility features and feel...

I'm thinkin of gettin a TyTn....but is it worth the aggravations and headaches, since I'm going to need to unlock and most likely extra language support for text messaging.....Is it possible to Add???
INPUT/OPINIONS WELCOME

Sounds like you'd be happier with a iPhone...

with an iPhone...if it was a 3rd Gen but still lags behind

BTW in the list I forgot to include the Treo 750....another flop...I've had it for some time and it's a waste:mad:

Just out of curiousity, what are you expecting from your phone? So far the dash has handled a lot of what I threw at it.

And yes, HTC phones work...at least as well as WM6 lets them.

I would recommend a title change for this thread. The question "do they really work" is a really stupid one.

Of course you're only going to hear about problems on forums, that's what they're there for: to find answers to your problems. People don't normally spend time praising something they own, there's no need for it.

As far as HTC goes, I have been pretty happy with my Dash. After getting all the nuisances tweaked, I can't picture the phone being much better.

PS - Fuck the iPhone. Worst device I have ever used.

PPS - I agree with changing the title of this thread. It is silly.

perhaps this (http://www.mrtoys.com/fisher-price/pics/Elmos-World-Talking-Cell-Phone.jpg) is more the OP's speed?

I wouldn't get a Tytn.

I was so happy changing from a tytn to the Excalibur. There's still problems with the stability of WM professional vs WM standard.

Standard seems more robust and usable as a phone.

Also 3G on the tytn although is nice drains the battery.

I used to change phones every six months. The tytn only lasted 3 months before I was fedup with it. The excalibur is a phone which might actually be used for the full 2 year contract.

Well can't understand what's silly about the title, but the question is: 1) As with the "normal" Windows...xp-mill...etc" the OS suckes!!!
Microsoft spends so much money on developing but still SUCKS! keeps freezing and it's very unstable...I had so many fights with my GF because she couldn't hear me while using a "Blue Angel"..."this only happens with your phone...etc"
as for the connection quality these HTC if don't have a GOOD connection you're very likely to be stuck with an UNUSABLE piece of hardware.
I hate when the person next to me 's talking madly and I can't even connect.
Last but not LEAST, I think companies try too hard to limit/direct people's free choice! If there's a contract in force leave free choice how I want to use MY phone, therefore they ought to be HIGHLY CUSTOMIZEABLE...
In other words they only do a GREAT JOB @ screwing you around.
If someone 's satisfied with that, well...their choice...I know I'm not

HTC PHONES DO THEY REALLY WORK???

Nope.

This is why there is a dedicated website, forum, community, etc revolving around them.

I'm a huge fan of the Elmo walkie talkie myself. :)

Choose something non-HTC for yourself, this forum will thank you

In Short: Yes they do work


But I have had a HTC Blue Angel (SX66), Faraday (2125), Tornado (sp5m), Wizard (8125), Tytn (8525), Excalibur (dash), Treo 750, Star Trek (8500), Vox (s710), Cavalier (c730). All phone have some issues, but I can tell you seriously they work better than any other phone on the market. And you shouldnt be worried that people complain about them you should be excited that these phones give you the freedom to log onto a website like this in order to solve problems instead of just complain.

I had my cavalier for a month before all of a sudden I just upgraded it with full youtube integration because of this website.

Be happy you have a phone that gives you the ultimate ability to do everything.

Plus HTC knows how to make a phone teh sexy

If your computer freezes or gets blue screens it's 90% of the time your hardware that fails. And if you are so unhappy about windows xp then I suggest you use linux..see what you can make of that.

As far as i'm consurned the Windows mobile phones are quite customizeable as long as you have some sense of what you are doing.
