I have no experience of the "pinch and zoom" on other phones, but to a new user of a touch phone it seems to work well :cool:

I have just put on about 600mb of music, and compared to my previous phones the music went on lightning fast. When it had finished i was thinking surely not.

Maybe i just had kak phones in the past. I didnt time it, but it didnt feel like it took any longer than 2-3 mins

Pinching your fingers on directly the screen inwards or outwards causes it to zoom in or out.

It does zoom in and out not a problem at all when "pinching"

Still trying to get used to the size, its gonna take a while to adapt.

Camera issue has solved itself

Ah sorry, i mean, was the box it came in, a T-Mobile branded one, or an original black HTC one?

Also: More pics please

Thanks!

this is the box it came in, as you can see completely unbranded by t-mob. I used the hd2 to take the pic also, camera seems quite impressive

this phone is a dream to use. It does have a youtube app but i cant seem to get it to work. you tube is working through opera tho :confused:

Got mine on Vodaphone and it came exactly the same. Generic HTC box and no branding on the phone, looks compleatly stock without and carrier tampering

OCdude · 18 Nov 2009 at 20:27

Loving the un-butcheredness

Woo!

Should be getting a call from T-Mob tomorrow - hopefully I can wangle a good price (i.e. free).

BlackDragon · 18 Nov 2009 at 20:40

Just unboxed mine

The phone is just so fast, and the screen is massive and the build quality is great. I got mine from MobilePhonesDirect and I was very surprised to discovered it is an unbranded phone, so there has been no tampering by the operator

I've taken a few photos of it:

Is it actually any better than double tapping the screen however? Luckily the HD2 allows both options and tbh from the videos double tapping looks far easier and simple. :confused:

EDIT: Dammit I really want this phone now, just another £300 if I can sell the HD for around £200...

. I think when HTC release a capacitive stylus with the accuracy of a resistive stylus i'll definately get one (unless something better comes along). Then you'll have all the benefits of a capacitive screen (slightly faster and glass screen) with very few of the downsides (less accurate), just need to sort out the extra power issue and the inability to use gloves/fingernails and you have the best of both worlds!

I'd expect pinching to be easier, plus you can then zoom in pretty exacy increment rather than all the way out or all the way in

not really, you just didn't read my post properly :cool:

anyway....... any good sites out there for apps for windows mobile? :confused:

also, anyone else who has it, are you having problems with my location when setting the weather feature?

Reefa · 18 Nov 2009 at 21:53

I'm waiting for mine to arrive on Saturday woop!

I had a play with one at work today and noticed something a little odd, can those who have received them confirm?

Point the camera at a white wall, do you see a pink 'halo' in the middle?

Can you post your rom versions if poss?
