It also includes Windows Live for Windows Mobile, which provides a full set of Windows Live services, such as the Windows Live Messenger IM application, which now enables you to chat with more than one person at one time or send a file.
 The S710 offers both a traditional numeric keypad for one-handed use and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for two-handed use in landscape mode. |
The S710's 2.4-inch QVGA TFT LCD screen has a white LED backlighting, 240 x 320-pixel resolution, and 65,000 colors.

It also offers Bluetooth stereo audio support, enabling you to enjoy your music without any wires. The 2-megapixel digital camera captures still images up to 1600 x 1200 pixels--great for 8 x 10-inch prints, and other photo features include video capture, multi-shot stills, self-timer, and white balance controls.

This review is from: HTC S710 Vox Unlocked Smartphone with Windows Mobile 6.0, 2 MP Camera, Wi-Fi, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Black/Silver) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I purchased the S710 a few weeks ago and I have been very happy with it so far. I had previously been using a Sony Ericsson W810i which was a great phone for personal use and as an MP3 player, but I needed a smartphone for work. I didn't want something as large as a Blackberry and wanted to avoid a touchscreen and stylus. The S710 was the perfect compromise.I've never used a smartphone or Windows Mobile before so I can't say if WM6 is any improvement. I was surprised to find while editing my contacts that there is no copy and paste function. I was able to find an add on application but it seems a rather strange thing not to include in a smartphone. The S710 comes with HTC's homescreen and green color scheme which is a color that most closely resembles vomit. This can be removed using a debranding app. On such a beautiful looking device it's a shame that HTC chose such a nauseating interface. And this is a beautiful phone. The all chrome face is a bit much for my taste, but isn't as prone to fingerprints as I expected and it contrasts nicely with the matte keys and the flat black. The sides and back are rubberized plastic which feels soft but durable in your hand. The QVGA screen is clear and bright even in sunlight. The phone feels solid and rugged and is surprisingly heavy for it's size. But considering all that's packed into so small a space and the long battery life it's an extra weight I can handle. The slide out keyboard doesn't lock when closed and has a slight wiggle. It hasn't opened accidentally but it's a strange contrast to an otherwise sturdy phone. The keys on the keyboard are small but nicely spaced and give good tactile response. But if you have large primate hands, this is not the phone for you. The earpiece is loud, which is great for talking on NYC streets, but has noticeable distortion. It bothered me at first since my old Sony Ericsson was so clear but I have gotten used to it now. The vibrate mode is rather weak, and I don't always feel it vibrate especially when I am walking. The lack of 3G doesn't bother me since I mainly use the data connection for email which EDGE is fine for. The smaller sized screen isn't that great for viewing web pages anyway. WiFi works well and connects to my home access point faster than my laptop. AT&T made a surprising effort at helping me get it set up for data but ultimately I had to find the configuration posted in a forum and enter it manually. PROS: Keypad, QWERTY keyboard, smartphone in a small package; I haven't found any other phone like it. CONS: Keyboard wiggle Sound distortion

This review is from: HTC S710 Vox Unlocked Smartphone with Windows Mobile 6.0, 2 MP Camera, Wi-Fi, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Black/Silver) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I have had this phone for about 1-1/2 months thus far, and I am extremely pleased with everything it has to offer. I purchased this phone because I do a lot of travelling in my life, and have no office. Even though I have a laptop with me at all times, it is much more convenient to be able to deal with small matters via the phone. I wanted a device that makes clear calls, can roam anywhere in the world if necessary, allows me to Skype (so I don't have to pay any ginormas roaming charges), gives me ultimate connectivity for e-mails and internet, is easy and comfortable enough to use to send e-mails (QWERTY keyboard was a must), and could manage Office documents. I achieved what I wanted.I'll gloss over the obvious specs, and speak more about the details only discoverable while using. Calls: Call quality is one of the best features of this phone. All calls, regardless of where I am in the world, are received clear and crisp. The Quad-band ensures you can get onto any network as well. The contacts ability on the phone is phenomenal. The amount of personal information you can store for each contact is rediculous. However, it works out very handy if you do take the time to enter in most of it - you just need to click on the contact name, and all your options come up - for instance, if I call John on his cell and he doesn't answer, I just click on his name again, and scroll to his work number and send. No answer again, then do the same except scroll to the home number. Still no success? Try sending IM - messenger will sign in and check if John is online. STILL can't find him? Click and scroll to "Text" him, or even "send e-mail". It saves a lot of hassle of having to go into each task individually, like going into text message to text, then opening up e-mail to send e-mail, opening and signing in messenger to send an IM, etc. There are a variety of home screens you can choose from, the one I have as my default gives me everything I need to know at a glance - tells me if I have e-mail, SMS, MSN messenger messages, WiFi, time, date, profile, appointments. You can get all the information you need to see if you need to check anything on the phone without having to unlock it. It also has a convenient "most recently used applications" row. Connectivity: WiFi and GPRS/EDGE works extremely well, no issues at all. Using the phone as a modem is also extremely useful in non-WiFi areas, and is very simple to pair with the computer, via mini USB or Bluetooth. I installed Skype Mobile on it, works without issue. There is some delay in the voice transfer, and there is an echo (even with the echo cancellation on), but it serves it's purpose. I don't know if the 201MHz processor is the cause of it, as I was worried about the performance of Skype without a 400MHz processor. The version to install off the website is the smartphone version (obviously), but is labelled for the HTC S620 - this is the one to download for the HTC S710. Bluetooth works well, and ensures security with security PIN's for each connection. E-mail and internet: Multiple accounts can be set up, I'm not even sure how many. You can choose the frequency to download e-mails, or just select to do it manually. Occassionally the sync may fail, even after repeating the attempt - what has always worked for me is just powering down and back up again. Internet works fine, no need to mention anymore on that. Typing is great, as the phone remembers what you've previously typed better than any other I have ever come across. Texting or typing e-mails is a cinch, even wiith the number pad. Every letter you type in a word narrows down what the word can be - the options are all shown at the bottom of the screen. This works out great for me when sending formal e-mails - any long words can be inserted after just typing 2-3 letters - very convenient. Phone build: Very sturdy design, nothing feels flimsy or weak. The size of the phone is fantastic, it is actually smaller than the Blackberry Pearl on the height and width, but slightly thicker. The slide out keyboard feels solid and sturdy, and the keys are designed well, concaving up to make it easy to press without much mistakes. The screen takes a couple of seconds to flip from potrait to landscape, which I have seen a lot of people swear against the phone as a result. But to be honest with yourself, how much is that really hurting you? The screen is bright and very clear. In very bright sunlight, it isn't perfect, but it still shows up well enough to make out everything you need without problem. Office Mobile 6.0: Works good, no problems so far. The really great part about this is that the files all keep their original formatting. A point to note though is that you cannot create new files. Simple enough solution - just transfer a blank document to the phone for each application, and use as the template. If you wish to create a file, just open and use the "Save As" function. The is no ZIP function, so any zipped files won't be able to be unzipped. Camera: I won't say much on this, since I personally have never really cared for a camera on a phone. All the details on the file explorer, media player, camera, etc are as per spec, so I won't waste time commenting on that. Basically, this is a truely great phone and I am extremely happy with it thus far. My advice to anyone looking to purchase this - you may want to compare with the HTC TyTN II (Kaiser) which I believe has just been released. Not for te tilt screen - that is non-functional in my opinion (just try seeing if you would ever need to tilt the screen when typing on a little phone, as opposed to a large laptop - rediculous!). However, the notable advantages of the Kaiser are 3G, HSPDA, HSUDA, GPS, 128M RAM, 256M ROM. It may be better suited for your daily activity. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer to stay away from touch screen devices - it just seems to me that they beg to be dropped, and get dirty and damaged. I would still pick this model over the Kaiser, because it suits my needs perfectly, and while I wish it had the expanded connectivity, it is still more than sufficient. Buy this phone, you will not regret it.
