Note to HTC
By chris dalby | October 28, 2007
I have had so many phones over the last couple of years: Pocket PC 2003, Mobile 5, Mobile 6, Crackberry. My new HTC Touch kicks the ass of all those phones. Especially the Crackberrys.
However, there are a couple of things I would like to see on the HTC that are simple fixes to make this phone perfect - perhaps they have been addressed in the HTC TouchII?
I want a button on the phone for the start menu - the start menu is the beginning of everything windows related for the majority of end users. We need it! OK, I can programme other buttons, but at the sacrifice of what? I want a button with the start logo for point and click for dumbasses like me.
The HTC today theme is very cool and I really like the weather display and quick launch icons to everywhere. But you take up so much real estate on the “desktop”, or should I say “pda top”?
I want the ability to minimise the display that takes up half the screen with either the time, weather or quick launcher. I like to know the time, but top right digital is enough rather than a half screen digital display. I like to know the weather and I like to have quick launch icons - but make them icons on the desktop or a fold-away widget that I can choose to show or hide rather than eat up my desktop experience and force me to uninstall.
I really like this phone, on face of it, these are small modifications for what I think is the perfect phone and the best mobile I have ever owned, combined with the best mobile operator with an excelent Web ‘n Walk internet service. I have arrived.
In the mean time, please forward any and all mobile devices for honest review and you will be very welcome to videos on my kyte.tv/yellowpark channel and blogs.
