Hmm haven't done that before but hey always a first time

would be nice if you could do me a favour and test out the camera and video function. specifically how fast is it from pressing button to the point when the photo is saved... and how fast for the next photo.

as for video... how fast to save 1080p and 720p videos after recording...

but honestly, rm2200 is a turnoff for me. i dun have any data plans yet. was hoping to sign up with a telco and get some savings...

If u can wait.. im sure a certain telco is getting it. This is my inside info.

hope its an ONG (yellow) telco...

Ermm.. no its CHENG (Green) telco

HTC unlocks bootloader protection

"HTC, the well-established smartphones manufacturer, does not think so. By responding to an online petition which over 7150 people signed, HTC's CEO Peter Chou announced that the company will no longer be locking the bootloaders of their devices."

Agreed... im porting over to Mr. Ong in July cos my contract ends then.

good move....thinking to get the phone and ONG my Sensation!!!

just to make this clear, phones don't come s-off'd by default, you'll always have to do that yourself, so actually you can't really check it as soon as you got the phone

Only praying for unlocked bootloader.
was aiming for this phone edi...
And hope got many developers aiming it as well..

Bro this is 4 g phone right,so shouldn't we be using yes 4g to unleash it's 14.4 mbps download potential?

Bro Yes 4G uses WiMAX for their coverage.

The 4G used in the phone here is the HSDPA+

Not the same.

Apps doesn't require locked bootloaders to function, root possibly. (e.g. Moto phones)

Thing with new HTC phones (starting from Desire Z/HD time) is that perm root isn't achieved until the bootloader says so.

The vital partitions (i believe /data) cannot be modified without proper root. Temp root can be achieved, but all modifications are done on a temporary memory thingy and will not sync unless the bootloader says it's ok to do so. With the locked bootloader, all modifications will be undone upon a reboot. This includes superuser permissions and what not.

Note that I said new HTC phones. Don't be surprised if a Desire user tells you they don't need proper s-off to be rooted and flashing roms.

There's a proper explanation that involves terms like eMMC and stuff (found it. I think it's this one. http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/Vision), but I'm not literate enough to understand that kind of information. So excuse my watered down version.

Ahhh, the HTC bootloader and NAND lock conundrum.
temp root,
It's kinda like the tethered jailbreak on the iPhone rite? Same concept.


That's kinda the reason why i jumped to Samsung (besides SuperAMOLED)

Did not go with Samsung because it's hard to port Sense UI. Using a HTC, you can choose to go with Sense ROMs or AOSP ROMs. With Samsung, you choose b/w TouchWiz ROMs or AOSP ROMs. [Because propriety UIs are not open sourced, and the entire framework have to be ported for even one component to work] I'd rather have my choice b/w Sense and AOSP than TouchWiz. TouchWiz is yucky.
