Windows Mobile 6.5 really swung for the fences with this one and they just cleared the top. This phone is considered the flagship device for the Windows Mobile 6.5 line. HTC has been making windows phones since smart phones were smart. Recently they’ve been divulging in the Android craze but their roots have always been with Windows. HTC decided to take the fastest processor available and pair it with the largest screen to create an enjoyable WinMo 6.5 experience.
WinMo over the years has fallen to crap status because of several issues. With the biggest issue being lag, WinMo has always been feature packed but if it takes you years to use any of those features are they worth using at all? HTC solves this problem by installing the Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor. This phone moves from tab to tab like butter but because of the beast from the Far East the battery life suffers. The gorgeous 4.3 inch screen doesn’t help either. If you are a fan of windows mobile (which I am) this is the phone to get, don’t waste your time or money with any other WinMo phone. Anything else will just turn you away from the OS even more.
Pros:
– Fast Processor
– Large Beautiful Screen
– Solid Construction
– Extensive Modding Community
Cons:
– Small Network
– Battery Life
– Small App Store
– Lack of Microsoft Support
I would like to say great reveiw but you must of not have put much time in with the droid x. the droid x i will admit has horrible battery life but with task killer and watchign what your doin and turning down screen brightness you will be fine. next you never once coverd the camera or the comcorder, like you did with the evo. the UI is bland but thats how it was for the first droid, but this time they allowed us 7 home screens vs the old 3. The next thing is the processor. the processor the TI Omap 3640 hands down beats the snap dragon processor.next is the snapdragon has the worst onboard graphics out there. Also on another note the droid x comes with 8 gig internal and another 16gig micro sd card. so total of 24gigs out of box. then there is the fact of the hdmi. k i am done rambling on.
I agree with you on many of your points. This was supposed to be a brief summation of the major phones. You can do things to all these phones to make them “better”. But, the TI OMAP3630 is not a better processor than the Snap Dragon. Motorola and Qualcomm don't get along and haven't for a long time or you would have seen that processor in that phone. IMHO the HTC Evo is the best phone currently on the market, and until Motorola addresses some tiny details my opinion isn't going to change. HTC Sense UI is a thing of beauty and it's something that Motorola has a serious problem contending with, 7 panels or not. They need to make a more functional, better looking version of “Moto Blur” and install it on there higher end phones to make more of a visual impact.
yes moto blurr is pretty bad i will admit i personal dont like it. and the 7 screens is a little overkill. Sense Ui is awesome also i will admit. the hdd space out the door on the droid x is nice 24gigs worth of space right out of packaging was very nice. theres only a few things i dont like about my droid x and that is the back of the phone with the funny curve along with the camera button seems kind of flimsy sometimes
check this out also you will see how the droid x compairs to the evo with he processor/gpu http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-x-…
That benchmark test is pretty amazing. The problem with something like that is that with a benchmark test you don't take into consideration the programs that are cooked into the OS It's not like a normal PC. Startup apps that are cooked in take up a smaller memory footprint than selected apps but the footprint still exists. Sense UI is a bear and in instances like that it can drag the overall performance of a phone down. Hell, anything that's cooked into the ROM does. It's all about optimisation. The Nexus One is rocking a Snapdragon and you can see how much faster it is than both phones.
well if you have a evo and what not we can meetup and do a benchmark test for sure and try this out ourselfs and not based off other peoples reviews it was jsut that the omap graphrics are great processor built into the chip
