HTC P4000 Titan Reviews

1. Great Phone

24 Jul 2009 by Happy Happy

96.7%9.7out of 10

I first got the HTC 6800 because I needed something with a full keyboard and windows mobile. This phone came with that and then some! The internet sharing feature allows me to plug my phone into my laptop and it gives my laptop high speed internet. I can also send texts while in internet sharing. The activesync feature also allows me to transfer information from my desktop to laptop (or any computer with a USB) or store information on my phone. It's only downfall is the size of the keys if you try to text on the screen without using the stylus pen.

I would also recommend buying a phone cover (I paid 4.95 for a hot pink cover but you can find them cheaper) to protect it from scratches. Otherwise my only problem was when my first 6800's slider keyboard was sticking a little, but Cellcom gave me a brand new one to replace it. For free!

Pros

Extremely customizable, you can change a lot and download different schemes for the phone for free!
Loads up fast
Battery life is great
You can set the phone at different levels to conserve battery power if you need to
Phone docking system has a slot for a backup charger to charge on if you have another charger

Cons

Pictures can be blurry if you move the camera or the camera subject moves.
Keyboard slider can begin catching if you drop it a lot.

2. Great phone... after updates!!

13 Jul 2009 by Nathaniel Johnson

90%9out of 10

I got my 6800 as a replacement for a slider that had an unfortunate meeting with a moving box. On first use this phone is woefully under powered and sucks up RAM faster than any other phone I've ever seen. After going through several forums and help sites I finally stumbled upon the Holy Grail for this phone. Custom ROMs. I upgraded to the standard 6.1 ROM from HTC. Better than the original, but not great. Switched through several different custom ROMs that did everything from make my phone look like an iphone to crash before it would even attempt to boot. Finally landed on a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM that runs like a dream. I had been looking for months to replace this phone until I found this upgrade, now I'll be hanging on to this one till contract time and I can get something new and shiny!

Pros

- every feature you could want in a phone / pda
- highly customizable, with some learning curve
- nice professional look that isn't overly styled
- did I mention that you can customize everything about it!!

Cons

- battery life can be quite short
- out of box use is a joke
- call volume is very low (before software fix)
- RAM and processor often feel underwelming (until upgrade of course)

4. DO NOT BUY

16 Jun 2009 by crogan

10%1out of 10

Bought the phone one year ago today.  Has been in repair 4 times.  Each time the company sent me a different phone, same model HTC PPC 6800(refurbished)  so that tells me the problem with phone is universal.  The same problem every time, I could hear the person calling but they can’t hear me.   Now my warranty is out, I have another year with US Cellular before my contract is out.  Won’t be going with US Cellular again, not when they replace my brand new phone with someone else’s used one (refurbished).  Now I expect I’ll spend the next year using my phone insurance every three months to keep the phone working.   So in other words I have owned 4 of these phones,  DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

Pros

I want to say the feature are great, but it's a phone; if you can't make a phone call what good it is.

Cons

Has serious problems

7. About this phones negative reviews....

5 Dec 2008 by Amill

90%9out of 10

This phone was released with Windows Mobile 6.0, and with this version of the operating system, there was not enough progam memory to run programs concurrently. Many of the negative things I read about the phone are the direct result of the low amount of ram in this phone. Sprint has released a (free) ROM with WM6.1 and I can tell you that it has made a world of difference. I no longer have to reset my phone everyday or even weekly and my battery can last an entire day if I am semi-frugal.

This phone, with Window Mobile 6.1, and Sprint's unlimited data package ($10.00) is the best thing since sliced bread. It is simply the most usefull gadget I own.

Pros

Navigation via Google Maps
Desktop Web experience via Skyfire (including YouTube)
Native Gmail (IMAP wont drain your battery)
PTT via Palringo (Pain, but as close as it gets without a Nextel)
RDP/VNC clients freely available
Flashlight Apps available
Plays DivX movies

Cons

Battery Life, I have four chargers: Home, Work, Car and one misc.
Low Program Memory (Much improved with WM6.1)

8. Almost, but Not Quite

27 Aug 2008 by Aaron L

53.3%5.3out of 10

I had this phone for a week and already returned it. This was my first smart phone and I was hoping for a little more. I have played with an iPhone and this phone didn't come close, but I am not going to ATT because their coverage is awful in our area.

I am only going to point out the negatives since these are the reasons I ultimately returned the phone.

- Signal strength was terrible versus my previous phone (Motorola Razr)

- If you don't use the stylus, you'll be selecting a lot things you didn't want to

- Set up an outside e-mail accout and when mail was in my mailbox I did not get a notification. The rep at the cell company duplicated the exact same thing and he could not explain why it was happening. The only was you get a notification is if the phone is in standby mode.

- Clumsy navigation for getting a contact to dial out.

- Did I mention that the signal strength was terrible?

- Sucks battery like there is no tomorrow if using it for web browsing

- You have to lock the screen to prevent random inputs

- Even set at the loudest ring, it could have been louder still.

 

When you pay $350 for a phone you would expect to have at least the same type of service that you did before, if not better. I did not get that with this phone. The phone is pretty cool looking and I enjoyed getting on the Internet, but for what I paid and what I was paying a month, it was hard to justify in my mind.

I've had this phone for about 4 months and I'm now selling it on ebay b/c I'm getting the BB Curve!

I think it's with all WINDOWS COMPATIBLE phones, they FREEZE. I have reset my PDA 3 to 4 times a day and I don't even have 3rd party prgrm or a loaded SD card inserted.

It's nerve recking. Sometimes if I'm typing a text..it goes SO SLOW.

I"m aggravated and so I decided to sell this phone on ebay.

With the updated ROM (6.1), I will admit that it MOST DEFINTIELY Improved the Battery life TREMENDOUSLY. Without a doubt.

The sprint TV is so AWESOME too.

Um...but I've had my share of TOUCHSCREEN PHONES. I don't like them anymore.

It just sucks. I"ve had my share with WIndows Compatible phones PERIOD. Time for something new...A BB. I hope I have luck with that.

BYE BYE HTC & Mr. Mogul.

10. HTC Mogul - post 6.1 upgade

12 Aug 2008 by Charles Hollingshed

98%9.8out of 10

I shared the same opinions as most of you: constant freezing, short battery life, forced to soft reset 2-3 times daily just to keep the some type of functionality and generally having second thoughts about having made this purchase UNTIL I upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1 update.

Upgrades the operating system from Windows Mobile® 6.0 Professional to Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional
Adds Sprint TV
Includes all enhancements incorporated in previous software upgrades including:
EV-DO Rev. A functionality for faster download and upload speeds when utilizing data services wherever EV-DO Rev. A coverage is available.
Advanced GPS functionality including the Sprint Navigation application.
Adds a Task Manager to the Today screen for easier access and management of running programs.
My device has not frozen up since the upgrade about a week ago.
Batter life seemed improved... Hummmm
