Features
The P4350 has all the same features that Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC offers. You have basic calendar functions with appointments, calculator, PDF viewer, tasks and a lot more. The P4350 also comes complete with Microsoft Pocket Office which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint. With Word and Excel you can not only view documents but edit them too.
The P4350 has many advanced features like a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, WiFi and much more.
The camera on the P4350 is standard and nothing special. The camera does not offer a flash either. The camera is capable of capturing pictures up to 2 mega pixels which is 1600x 1200 pixels. You can select the picture quality but it is best kept at super fine. The camera also has the standard white balance settings; auto, daylight, night, fluorescent and incandescent.
The P4350 has Bluetooth version 2.0 built in but does not offer EDR (Enhanced Data Rate). The P4350 has many Bluetooth profiles too. The p4350 has the following Bluetooth profiles:
- SPP (serial port profile) for external Bluetooth devices such as a GPS receiver
- SAP (SIM Access profile) allows you to connect to a phone’s SIM using Bluetooth
- HFP (hands free profile) for connecting a Bluetooth headset or speaker
- HID (human interface device profile) for connecting a Bluetooth keyboard even though it has a built in keyboard
- PAN (personal area network) surf the internet with your computer’s connection using Bluetooth
- OPP (object push profile) for sending objects like pictures, business cards etc.
- FTP (file transfer profile) for sending files over Bluetooth
- A2DP (advanced audio distribution profile) transfer stereo sound to a A2DP capable device like headphones or car stereo
- AVRCP (audio video remote control profile) remote control for headphones which lets you change pause/play and change songs.
The WiFi works great on the P4350 and will be discussed further in the internet section of the review.
Another amazing feature that HTC has included in this phone is the “X button” in the task manager application. Usually on Windows Mobile 5 devices when you click the X on the top right hand corner of a program it does not close but instead hides it in the background. Usually on Windows Mobile phones you would have to go to running programs in settings and close the program manually. HTC has included a small app which gives you the option of actually closing the application when you press the X button. This is a feature that was left out on Windows Mobile 5 and will be standard in Windows Mobile 6!!
The P4350 also comes with many great programs. Bluetooth explorer is one of the latest HTC programs and is included in many of the new HTC devices. With the Bluetooth explorer you can explore other devices and the layout is similar to the file manger application. As long as the devices are paired together you can take what ever you want from the other device. Another great program is the Audio Manager application. The Audio Manager has a setup similar to the iPod. Like the iPod you can find music through genre, album, artist, playlist or scroll through all the songs saved on the device.
The P4350 also comes with SPB GPRS monitor. With this program you can input your data plan and the program will calculate your total data usage. This is an excellent program for keeping track of your data connections so you do not go over your limit and get charged extra. The standard SPB GPRS monitor found on the SPB website does not seem to work on the P4350 but the one supplied with the phone works fine. Sprite backup is also included with the phone and is excellent for backing up all the data on your device.
