Software, data transfer, GPS
The handset changed a lot in terms of software, even more if we compare it to T-Mobile Ameo. The reason for this is that it has the TouchFLO user interface installed, which provides “a bit” more refined look for the handset than the pink (oh, sorry: magenta) Today theme from T. It’s still very easy to use (I might even say that it’s easier to use than the new TouchFLO 3D), it has five screens, the first displays the missed events, the second is a speed dial, the third is a weather forecast plug-in, the fourth lets us launch our favorite programs easily while on the fifth one we can mute the handset and turn on/off keyboard vibration.
While browsing the menu we can see some fine stuff, like ClearVue Presenter 5, Comm Manager designed by HTC, Google Maps, JETCET Print that offers wireless printing, the remote desktop client, the RSS reader, Zip, WorldCard Mobile used for digitizing name cards and the latest version (9.5) of Opera Mobile which provides an outstanding browsing experience on the large screen.

The handset is not bad in terms of data transfer, the GSM module is quad-banded (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), we have GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA support too, but the latter is only 1.8 Mbps. Bluetooth is of version 2.0, it supports A2DP and WiFi is 802.11b/g-compatible. We can use the miniUSB-compatible HTC ExtUSB connector for wired communication. I didn’t really try making phone calls with the handset, although we can do so with a Bluetooth headset – all services related to this are the default Windows ones, Outlook is still great, the phonebook’s capacity depends on the internal memory (so we can store an unlimited number of entries) and the email client supports authenticated IMAP servers and attachments too.
GoogleMaps
The handset has a GPS receiver, but no exact details are known about it. It’s sure that it finds position very fast with the help of QuickGPS and it’s also sure that the original iGO 8 won’t launch, it hangs up during launch, just like on Touch Pro. The reason for the error is a BMP file, at least according to the error message.
