Yup, I use TomTom and Cameraware on the P750 and it works perfectly. The AGPS can also be set to automatically update when you connect the device to your computer via activesync.

Thanks Alex - I'm wondering about CoPilot 7, but it's good to know that a standard TomTom package works on the device. Presumably you use TomTom 6.

I've never particularly been impressed with CoPilot - but then I've haven't tried v7 yet :D iGo 2008 is very nice btw.

It's quite good actually. No stutters, no skips. Slight background hiss though BUT I haven't been sent the latest rom yet :D

Looks like a nice little device. I think I'll be waiting to see what HTC has to offer over the next 6months to a year...

Now that it's looking like the SE Xperia X1 is delayed I am on the look out for other potentials.

OT:

Alex

Did you have a cold when you shot that? Sound a little under the weather/subdued.

Just goes to show how well the device can be used without one :D Yes, it has a full size stylus but doesn't appear to have a spare.

awwww leave the Exec alone! :D

I happen to still use mine for satnav. It was a super device when it first came out!


Good review of the device. Pity it Orange or T-mobile haven't sunk their teeth into it. :(

That extra £100 is a bit steep I know. The i780 has an extendable stylus, which is fine for normal use. Even unextended it's alright unless you want to do some writing (which defeats the object of having a full qwerty a bit!!). The main problem for me is the square screen. It's fine for normal use, but means you don't get very good widescreen video playback.

I do like the look of the p750 although I'm not sure about the joystick...and the HP 614c...and the Sony Ericsson X1 (mmmm!).

Thx for the vid.. I am almost sure that I will buy one as soon as they come out.

Question:

When you're typing a message on the P750 it looks like the phone can't keep up with the speed you're typing with and it therefore you almost can type in a complete word before it appears on the screen. In my everyday i'm typing a "bit" faster than you're doing on the video, and also i tend to send a fair amount of message's each day. Is it because your ROM version isn't the final or do you think that the final version can't keep up with normal (or a bit faster) typing either?

I've never had a smartphone/PDAphone before which is why I am comparing it to a normal mobilephone which off course can keep up with even a 13-year-old girl :D

I am hoping that the P750 can do the same.

Sorry for my rather bad english, but hope that you can help me with my question.

Thanks in advance.

I think that might just have been the video. I gave it a go just now to double check (typing as fast as possbile!!) and it didnt seem to have any problems :(

Great Video mate cheers for that.

Could you tell me if its possible to lock this phone to GSM only? (phone menu > band)

Just that the HP 614 seems to not have that function which has put me off somewhat.

Thanks in advance.
