Talk:HTC Wizard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Type: Smartphone? Isn't a pocket PC.
- It's running Windows Pocket PC, it has a touch screen and all the programs needed for a pocket PC... The only thing really subtracting fromt his is the 196 (ot so) mhz CPU that just does not cut it. Plus, the touch screen needs calibration all too often.
-> Spartphone is a general category contatining all mobile phone enabled multi-purspoes devices, or am I wrong? Just beacuse the OS name has not "Smartphone" tag does not mean WIZA is not a smartphone
There is a Pocket PC mention in the beginning of the definition. Why repeaing it, stating that Wizard is a "Pocket PC phone"? Wizard is a smartphone and it falls under the Wikipedia smartphone definition and is present in the Wikipedia's list of smartphones. I suggest changing that "Pocket PC phone" back to "smartphone". --schmalter 194.84.64.207 08:08, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

massively POV? im beginning to think that section definitely needs sources if it should stay. Tyhopho 01:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I own this phone myself and haven't had the first two listed issues. My screen is constantly aligned properly, and the slideout keyboard can be used with the dialler application to enter numbers, while the onscreen buttons are large enough to use your fingers on. Since I don't run an Exchange server I can't validate the third issue, and because I'm not using a T-Mobile model I can't verify the last either. As far as complexity goes, I haven't seen any issues. It's easier to do some things with than with other phones I've used, and a lot of support through websites and forums is available with a little searching(Down to specific applications for the phone that solve possible issues, and guides for others) Smoke 22:02, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I agree that the complaint about complexity is useless here. There is nothing specific about comlexity in Wizard's case. Or it is differrent in this issue from other smartphones? If not (and I suppose, than in fact it is not), that complexity issue should be added to Window Mobile or/and smartphone articles, and should be eliminated from this one. --schmalter 194.84.64.207 08:08, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- use as a phone - yes, its troublesome to use the onscreen keypad, but it does indeed work using the slide-out keypad in phone mode.
- alignment problem - yes, mine is bad after 1 month of daily use with no screen cover
- certificate problem - no, i simply copied mine over usb
- complexity - no, its easy to use and intuitive, being based on known windows interface
- I'm really starting to dislike mine, its really unreliable and quirky! I'm glad it was free from work :( ItsGrimUpNorth 22:32, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Praise from Customers
I was bought this phone as a valentines day present from my fiancé last year, due to my other cell at the time being absolute garbage, and I've never been unhappy with it. The T-Mobile version of this phone is, at least to me, without problems. I'm an insanely high end techno-phile, so this phone was just the thing for me.
Durability? In spades. This cell has been dropped onto concrete and cement from about 2 feet up and nothing bad has happened so far. This has even been dropped into a puddle and all that happened was that I the mini-sd popped out and I lost the stylus. The phone acted strange, but after letting it air out completely (battery and sim card out, covers off) it works like new again.
Signal? Unless you're standing inside a grove of trees a druid would be proud of, it seems to get exelent service even in basements and elevators.
I cant seem to find any firmware updates for this.... so it hasnt been updated sense it was given to me. Anyone have a link to update it for me?
