Incredible HTC – Google Navigation Response

By: J. Moorhead “JWM”

This is in response to the fellow who stated that because the phone can’t be on data 3g at the same time as making a call that it might cause a problem if he was speaking on his phone while using navigation.

In reality you can use google navigation at the same time as making a call, its not an issue what-so-ever. What happens is google navigation runs in the background and has preloaded the maps it needs onto the built in storage or sd card. You will still hear the voice navigation when speaking on the phone so you won’t miss any turns but it does not prevent you from making a call as suggested. In fact it works very seemlessly and performs well. Once you hang up the phone it goes right back to navigation and never misses a beat. Its one of the nice features they built into google navigation and one of the reasons this phone (or any android phone running os 1.6 and above) and the android platform are worth their weight in gold.

I have since sold my tomtom navigation unit and that in itself has paid for the price of the phone. The Astounding HTC is an astonishing device and i would not hesitate for a minute to purchase it again. Before this phone i had an eris and while that was nice it was just not quite enough for my needs. The astounding fills the void totally and offers me so much more. I rate this phone a perfect 100/100, i could not have designed it any better myself and there is not 1 thing about this phone i don’t love.

 

Incredible HTC – Out of the way, iPhone!

By: Ethan Anderson

The Astounding HTC is ambitiously named, but lives up to the expectations. The screen is totally amazing. It’s bright, saturated, and looks totally beautiful. It responds very well to touch, and is huge enough to display webpages, apps, and most importantly to me, Google Maps.

The excellent screen, paired with the 1GHz SnapDragon processor creates a fast, colorful experience that can’t be matched by the current generation of iPhones or BlackBerries. Navigation is smooth and seamless, even while running Pandora in the background and reading the news in a browser or looking for apps in the Android Market.

The GPS is swift to lock on, much faster than the BlackBerry Bold I previously used. Google Maps works beautifully with this phone; the astonishing screen and fast processor really shine. The navigation feature in the newest version of Google Maps works wonders despite being a beta version.

This phone sets the bar high and easily out-performs the current aging generation of iPhones. The Android market is growing at a rapid pace, and the Android OS is better in many ways to the iPhone OS. Even so, the real stars of the show are the screen and CPU. This is the first phone I’ve used that can replace a laptop for basic functionality.
