Added on March 25, 2011, 6:03 pmSome guys think that only sets selling in Msia is original mainly due to warranty issues. I have been buying sets from Spore many times and as far as HTC is concerned, you need not worry about warranty claims. HTC Spore service center at Harbour Court is superb. They even handle my previous HTC bought in M'sia free of charge - replace the motherboard. If your set is bought under warranty by Brightpoint - any issue , just call the toll free number and they will collect the set from you in Spore any place , free ; you no need even have to go to HTC Center
I prefer to buy my stuffs from Spore as it is nearer than KL
This is my first HTC Android ( besides the HD2 ported unofficial Android ) - very impressed with the startup from off - just 5 seconds - I think it beats the DHD which I remember took 8-9 secs ( saw it at the official demo launch in Spore )

Just look it up at garage sales http://forum.lowyat.net/MobilePhonesandRelatedAccessories , few sellers selling it - prices ranging average RM1.6 to 1.7k

Some photo shots - I just point and click all using default settings ; looks OK to me . Photo snaps are fast. Anyway I am not a camera guy

Indoor :



Outdoor in my garden - medium sunlight morning :

It comes with 10.1 but my unit prompted me to update to 10.2 this morning - successfully updated ; is only a 4 MB file

Only 300 units whole country - very sure within an hour all taken up. It is the same scenario when last year HTC launch its HTC Touch at Sunway for around RM500+ and all taken up within hours . Many guys mainly students camp overnight at Sunway Pyramid to grab it. ; next day retail price was RM 1499

The RM68 is deducted monthly from your initial RM 500 deposit. Actually if you go to Digi website it is all there. And these questions keep repeating - please read the earlier postings. This means after the 7th month, you have to make payment monthly

For those who failed to get the RM 599 offer, for RM 200+ ( counting in RM 20 monthly rebate ) more only get the regular package at RM 1199. Having used the IS for a week + , I must say is a great smartphone
The display even though is not Amoled is clear, crsip and bright and colors excellent reproduction unlike the SuperAmoled in Galaxy S
It is slick, fast and stable. I have yet to have any problems especially issues on freeze, sudden unexpected FC's. The GPS lockup is excellent. Having used several high end Androids, I'd say it is ranking very high in my list above the Galaxy S, Dell Streak, Galaxy Tab. It is closely match to the Google NexusOne

Absolutely none. Such issues were only reported on some sets of the Desire HD

Why would you want proof ?? It is beyond me. Anyway Skype is NOT restricted to amy specific Android smartphone. I have it working on ALL my Androids since my first Android. Anyway these are pics from my Incredible S - just for you and other sceptics

You cannot compare Galaxy Ace with Incredible S. A worthy competitor in its price range will be the Galaxy SL. But in my opinion, it is a better buy compared to even the Galaxy S ( which I have used before )

Try install the HTC sync which is on the given SD card
OR you can install android sdk - download it and run sdk manager

Added on April 2, 2011, 10:13 pmPress MENU from the home screen, then tap Settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset > Reset phone.

You can also perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, long press the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press POWER.
4. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP.

Added on April 2, 2011, 10:16 pmWhy don't you post some pics taken on the IS and on another to justify your statement esp on the word " horrible"

HTC is never well known for its camera - if this is important to you, than you just make a wrong choice. Get the Xperia Arc which will offer better camera features. I am a camera noob - so far I find all camera pictures taken on my Androids looks OK ; I am not that detailed guy on camera quality

I took some pics - refer page 23 post # 441 - how do you rate this. All taken at default settings as I never tampered mainly because I know nuts about settings of camera. I just point and click

You have 1.1 GB to install apps . Most android apps size is small average 2 MB , you can install 400 to 500 apps !!! If games, the dat will usually goes to SD card while app in phone memory. I don't see the need for apps2sd unless you are those who want to install every app you can find

Some points on apps2SD . Not all apps will auto install on card as depends on whether the developer has this feature builtin to meet Froyo's requirements. Most old apps will not have this feature. You can force install apps to card : just go to settings/applications/manage applications - find the app you need and select move to SDcard. You will notice for some apps, these selection could be greyed out - means you cannot move. All system utilities and widgets must be install in phone memory not sd card
These Apps2SD is more useful for phones having internal storage memory 512 MB or less

Download free app QUICK SYSTEM INFO - you can see how much space the 1.12GB internal storage has been used up. Don't be surprised you will see a lot of space even after install 100 apps

My advise just don't bother about using apps2sd unless you plan to install more than 400 apps

This phone by default cannot do video call only through example app fring

Nowadays i'd say most smartphones glass is scratch proof ( to normal stuffs like keys, pen, coin etc ) commonly found in pockets. This trend is obvious since a year ago. It is already a feature that it is no longer being advertised and highlighted.
You don't believe me, scratch it yourself.
Of course you don't go to the extent of scratching it and cutting it hard across the glass. When we say scratch proof we are talking about the usual scratches that will happen when the phone is in friction with normal stuffs in the pocket. If one is so worried, just get a screen protector or put it inside a pouch. With so much competition, smartphone manufacturers who offer a non-scratchproof will just lose out. So far all the phones I have own since about 2 years back I have tested it out of curiosity. I just use a ball pen and drag it across and this is quite already a severe test . Some guys even demo using a knife - seriously what is the probability you have a knife cutting across your phone glass ??? I have cease using screen protectors for more than 2 years, partly also because my phones is always in a pouch , the best protection one can have

Plenty and variety in ebay and quite cheap too. I am using my old pouch which i bought for Nokia E71 - perfect fit

It is a pouch NOT a casing

Launch the message app : Settings/Notification sound
Tick Play notification sound

Untick the top choice " Recieved notification" if you do not want alerts in status bar

You can set mp3 files as notification

For better organization, put all your choices in sd card : media/audio/notifications - if you dont have create these folders on card

Added on April 3, 2011, 12:04 pmIt is definitely breakable depending on how you wish to break it. You hit it with a hammer - sure will break. The strengths is in not so easily breakable and is resistant to normal scratches

FRING works well too

A better way to organize apps into folder is to use the app FOLDER ORGANIZER
You can assign any icon you wish to the folder too
