Flash support

This seems to be the list of phones that support flash lite, from Nokia: " Please note that you need a device with Flash Lite 1.1 or Flash Lite 2 - such as any device with S60 3rd Edition (Nokia N92, Nokia N71, Nokia N80, Nokia E60, Nokia E61, Nokia E70, Nokia N91 Nokia 3250).

Smart Phone Discussion Forums

I am looking for a forum/chat/blog community with members intimately familiar with current models and features available in Smart Phones or PDA Phones. I'm having no luck in discovering which phones/pdas contain the features I am looking for, or which have the means to develop such features via software addons. A list of discussion community sites or newsgroups or IRC channels would be useful for the article's external links. ~ Agvulpine (talk) 04:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

No, that would be against Wikipedia policy. See WP:EL. Wikipedia is not Google. -- KelleyCook (talk) 04:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
WP:EL says nothing against linking to community discussion sites. So link away. ~ Agvulpine (talk) 18:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

New reference

I haven't digested these Q4 2007 figures yet, but they look worth incorporating. Stephen B Streater (talk) 19:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

HTC Tytn II/Kaiser/AT&T Tilt and HSUPA

Having Googled for

"tytn ii" HSUPA

I found a bunch of pages asking "so where's the HSUPA?" (one of which notes that the Qualcomm chipset supports it but the firmware apparently doesn't), some pages that says it might have HSUPA based on Orange "hint[ing]" that it might (although Orange's French Web site says nothing about the TyTN II having HSUPA), some pages that just list HSUPA as a feature without any references (even though an HTC press release about the TyTN II and the TyTN II manual on HTC's Web site mention HSDPA but not HSUPA), and one page that said

For Internet connectivity the device offers tri-band (850/1900/2100 Mhz) UMTS/HSDPA which enables high data transfer speeds. A strange thing about the TyTN II is related to HSUPA connectivity. The Qualcomm MSM7200 chip at the heart of the device is known to support HSUPA which provides top speeds of 7.2 Mbps for download and 5.76 Mbps for upload. But the official specifications of the TyTN II only mention HSDPA, with a maximum download speed of 3.6 Mbp and upload speed of 384 kbps. While the data transfer rates provided by HSDPA are quite good, one couldn't help wondering what the reasons behind these limitations are. In the tests which were performed the HSDPA connection managed to attain download speeds of 759 Kbps and upload speeds of 296 kbps and 277 kbps download speed and 312 kbps upload speed for 3G.

Are there any pages from HTC that say it has HSUPA (Googling for

"TyTN II" HSUPA site:htc.com

found nothing), or any pages that say it has HSUPA and back that up by actually doing tests that show HSUPA-speed uploads? Guy Harris (talk) 08:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Comparison Table

Should some of the contents of the "Other" column perhaps be split up into Yes/No columns, either in the same table or an "additional features" table, like Comparison of file archivers and a lot of the others in Category:Software comparisons? There could be separate yes/no columns for bands, Wifi, GPS, IrDA, USB, and textual columns for things like memory card format, charger type, etc. Starofwonder (talk) 06:18, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
