Review: T-Mobile iPAQ H6315
As requested by Fred, I shall write a review on my cell phone.
$500, what a waste! I am very disappointed by my hip PDA/Phone. It can't do much of either. One of the biggest problems is that it can't be used very well with one hand. This is a big problem when driving and trying to find a number to dial. The screen is super sensitive at times, and not responsive AT ALL when I need it. This is the first phone I've had that actually FREEZES. I have to restart it in order to get it working again.
The PDA functions are very well done and the handwriting recognition is impressive. However, they really shouldn't have made it into a phone. The firmware sucks. The battery life is horrible. The reception is horrible as well. If I hadn't had a T-Mobile before, I would have thought T-Mobile sucks in general. Nope, it's the phone. Randomly it drops calls, sometimes it never even rings, and other times the reception indication bar freezes and I can't tell whether or not I have service. Another annoyance is the vibrate. Instead of the usual pulsating vibrate, this damn thing has a long vibrate that annoys the hell out of it. The damn thing vibrates for 5 seconds at a time. That's a DAMN long time!
It is extremely bulky to place up to your ear (not to mention the hassle of accidentally clicking on things with your chin) so I bought a Bluetooth earpiece. Works somewhat ok, and I'm willing to bet that it's the phone's fault. On receiving calls, people say I sound like I'm talking from across the room, but when I call, it sounds fine. That's really annoying.
In summary, I can't wait to return it. I hope I can return this haunted thing. I haven't checked what the policy is on returning horribly designed phones.
Can anyone recommend a good T-Mobile phone? Clamshell preferably. I miss my i730.
