The actual available internal storage may differ depending on the software configuration of your phone. Special cable required for HDMI connection. Battery times (talk time, standby time, and more) are subject to network and phone usage. A Standby time specification ("specification") is an industry standard that is only intended to allow comparison of different mobile devices under the same circumstances. Power consumption in a standby state is strongly dependent on factors including but not limited to network, settings, location, movement, signal strength and cell traffic . Comparisons of different mobile devices using such a specification can therefore only be done in a controlled laboratory environment. When using any mobile device in real life circumstances for which the mobile device is intended, the standby time could be considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors as mentioned above. Network bands in regions other than Europe and Asia Pacific may be different, depending on the mobile operator and your location. Please check with your mobile operator. Actual data speed is dependent on the network or Wi-Fi® signal strength. Note: Specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

1. What is qHD? qHD (960×540) qHD is a display resolution of 960×540 pixels arranged in a 16:9 aspect ratio. This resolution is one quarter of a full HD 1080p frame (thus the name) and is three quarters of a 720p frame. This resolution began to become popular for high-end smartphone displays in early 2011. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QHD#qHD_.28960.C3.97540.29
2. I read the phone suffers the "Death-Grip" Syndrome. Is this true? It has been reported that holding the phone in a certain way will kill its WiFi & Bluetooth connectivity. It is this true? Yes and no. The death grip issue has been blown out of proportion because it does not happen when you hold the phone normally. HTC has released the following statement on the 8th of June regarding this issue. "Every phone experiences a slight variation in signal strength when the antenna is covered in its entirety by a palm and/or fingers” HTC explained. “However, under normal circumstances this does not affect the performance of the phone.” http://www.slashgear.com/htc-theres-no-sen...issue-08158058/
3. So how much does this baby cost? Recommended retail price for a SIS warranty set is set at RM2299. While AP sets are as low as RM1700. Do also check out some of our LYN sellers as they offer prices lower than the retail price. Maxis & DiGi are rumored to carry this device as well as part of their phone plan. Check it out and decide if the plans are more suitable for you
4. How does the speakerphone perform when on a call? Sad to say the speakerphone quality is rather soft even at the highest volume.
5. How is the battery life? The battery life is quite OK depending on your usage. Some people report a full day run before they need to charge, while others need to charge their phones within 6-8 hours of use.

P.S : I use my phone for sms, mail update and song for 4-6 hours..mostly idle not using it...the battery already didnt charge for 33hours..and percent battery left is 30%
6. Do i need to use Task Killers? There are some who wear by it. Some claim to even conserve power by constantly using it. Others feel that Task Killers do more harm than good. The general rule of thumb is to only use task killers to terminate an unresponsive app/game. Check out the link below for further explanation.
7. What do i need to look out for when purchasing a brand new HTC phone? 1. Battery and sim card / microSD card cover – check whether it closes tightly before you open it. 2. Run some self test a. Tap Phone b. Key in *#*#3424#*#* c. You can find quite a number of tests here – LED, Backlight, Vibrator, Display, Audio, Line Drawing, Button, HST status, Camera, System Info & Battery Run Down tests. Note: This code will not work on custom ROM. Also, for original set, remember to register your set to get 1+1 year warranty by SiS, the second year warranty only valid if you register online within 7 days of purchase. Sis Web site: https://www.sis.com.my/siswarranty There is an option to upload your purchase invoice online to SiS. So scan a copy of your invoice first and save into JPEG format.

anyway, anyone who experience usb cable charging that drain battery life instead of charging. btw i m using nokia connectivity cable as it has microusb cable.
This only happens to me when im charging the phone on car/pc while doing something intensive like playing games or using GPS.
i didnt do anything at all... screen timeout long time also like this... just that it got connect to wifi...
Ermm.. perhaps the power from that USB slot isnt giving out enough of juice. Try another slot and see if its the same. Is your PC also connected to other USB devices?
Subjective question. HTC has better build quality, UI, probably developer support, And probably a more handsome CEO. Galaxy S 2 has better performing hardware from what I gather.
