The Gadgeteer Reviews The HTC Apache
"In September 2005, my daily driver PDA was an HP iPAQ hx-4700 and my mobile phone was the Samsung i550, a Palm OS device that was never technically released in the US. I thought that I was satisfied with the combination of the two devices - enjoying the best of both PDA worlds in a sense - but there were times when I really longed to have the freedom of carrying just one device that could do "everything". Granted, the i550 could operate as a full fledged PDA and phone, but I felt that its screen was just too small for full-time use since I enjoy reading eBooks so much. The 4700's comparatively enormous screen was perfectly suited for eBooks and viewing everything else, but of course that PDA was not - and would never be - a phone. Therefore my interest was raised when I heard about the latest offerings from the Taiwan based company High Tech Computer: the i- mate branded Jas Jar / HTC Universal and the Sprint branded PPC-6700 / HTC Apache."
An interesting review of the Apache. A lot of great photos too. Truly this is one gem of a device as our readers and I have discovered. Also a nice benefit for those on Sprint / Verizon that rarely get a wide Pocket PC Phone Edition selection!

Sounds great, but?
This sounds like the perfect solution to one with too many gadgets to carry around, a Palm PDA, a Dell Axim, an mp3 player, and a camera phone. I would love to have the best of all worlds, but being even less savvy than a novice user ( is there a name for less than novice skill? other than loser of course) I worry that the quirks might make the device useless for me. As I am locked into a Sprint phone contract, I would really like to try this device. Thanks for the info, Jon.

Hmm, I wonder if she checked out what her review looks like like on an HTC Apache. It comes up as one word per line in both portrait and landscape mode :roll:
