It's not on the phone - that I have noticed anyway. It might be on the CD. I'll check that when I get a chance.

It's the worst HTC battery life I have seen since the early tanager days. Basically, it's the same as the BlackJack - without the extended battery.

:lol: Sorry to disappoint. Actually, I'm getting over a cold, so that's not my 100% normal voice.

Interesting... No, the HTC s630 doesn't have this. I find that odd that HTC would sell their Dopod brand with an application that isn't on their HTC branded device. Especially something like cut and paste.

Are you sure that came on the device and wasn't added after? Is it listed in the remove programs menu?

It's part of the ROM. I did a hard reset and spent half an hour switching to English. It's not is remove programs list. Very handy though, select, cut, copy and paste, easier than a professional edition

I really hate un-boxing videos - they are soooo yesterday!

Nice phone though...

yes, the Dopod C730 has a WWE version. i'm not sure though how to make the switch from a Chinese version to a WWE.

i also find it interesting that the Cut/Copy+Paste feature was not included in the HTC ROM. it was extremely useful when i tested the unit with a WWE Dopod ROM. you won't find it in the Add/Remove programs since it's already embedded in the ROM. this same feature can be found on the Dopod C720 (a.k.a. HTC Excalibur)

AFAIK, BB Connect doesn't come pre-installed with the Cavalier nor its part of the CD Software. It has to be downloaded from the HTC website.

Really? I go to just about every unboxing video I can. There are many devices I'll never own but it's fun to watch them get unboxed. Oh well, to each his own!

When reviewing the Cavalier, please try out MS Live Search, Yahoo! Go, and Worldmate. A few of the users of the Dopod C730 are having input issues with these programs. I have tried to get support from the application developers with the issue but have not had much luck. The Yahoo! Go support has been useless telling me that my device isn't supported even though they have it listed with its own download page. I would think having these issues brought up in a review here would help us speed along the resolution process.

The issue is when typing in certain text fields, you are unable to input letters if that key also has a number or certain symbols associated with it using the FN key. As an example, typing in "123 Jeff Rd" would input "123 J155 34". There is a user over at the HoFo forums that has tried on a C630 and says that it suffers from this same input bug as the Dopod C730.

It would be great to get more exposure on this issue and figure out where the problem lies.
