During the past several months I have been testing Verizon Wireless’ smartphone offerings for Windows Mobile phones. The units tested have all had version 6.5 of the Windows Mobile operating system installed.
The first smartphone I tested was the HTC Imagio. This phone had the additional feature of being able to view TV broadcasts such as Fox News, although at an additional cost of $15.00 per month. The video quality is very good.
The HTC Imagio offers options for either Microsoft Sync or Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center in that the user is able to select the time period for look back of calendar entries. For those who have been using smartphones or PDAs for a while, this is a very nice feature.
Syncing with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook works very well as one would expect from a Windows device.
The device has sufficient memory to hold close to 20,000 calendar entries along with a couple thousand contacts, hundreds of notes and over a thousand tasks.
The main issue with this phone is the display sensitivity is very poor. It is too easy for applications to run while simply trying to scroll through the options.
As a business class device, this is definitely not my first choice.
