Hello,

i have the S620, think to buy an S630 ... (UMTS) .. but i want Windows Mobile 6.1 and i have no found this os for the s630

The asus are nice, but the same as the s620/s630: no gps

The ipaq 914 are my very big favorit, but i think it takes 6-8 month .. hp has problems and i don't think the ipaq 914 comes in 2 month (HP wrotes that to me)

cheers

I was interested in the HP 614, but put off by the depth and the serious bug it has with 3G.

The HP 914 looks nice but very over priced. Maybe I will wait. I don't really need to have GPS, but in some ways would prefer it over 3G which seems to just be a battery drain.

Eten make some lovely devices with GPS, e.g. the x600. unfortunately none have a non-sliding/folding keyboard which I don't like.

I have 'upgraded' from S620 to the S630 and my advice is............don't do it. The only advantage with the S630 is 3G connectivity.....but other than that I have found it to be extremely unstable (reboot once a day), not as well designed as the S620 and currently very poorly supported (not even shown on the HTC website).

thx
I might wait for a few firmware versions

what do you think about the weight and size compared to the s620 ?

actually, after thinking about it, I have decided to buy a new s620 :)

Good choice on the S620 :)

HTC seem to have all but abandoned the S630 - there are no updates for it and its not even listed on their website anymore....

Dopod have a couple of newer ROM's for the C730 (same as S630) but until I can find a way to unlock and SuperCID my S630 - I'm stuck on the crappy HTC ROM.

I'm very pleased with the s630, it has been rock solid with not one crash in my first week. I have moved from a treo 750 and prefer the non-touchscreen win mob variant. I've not had any memory issues either, often running 8/9 apps with no apparant slow down. Wifi connects easily, the device is well made and solid feeling. I've turned off 3g and run it on GSM only which helps battery life considerably, I rarely need 3g when out and about, preferring instead to do data downloading via wifi where available. I think it is a great device.
