Display & Audio
The HTC Star Trek has two displays. The external display has 128x 128 resolution and displays a lot of information. From the external display you can see the time and date, see your signal strength, battery level, Bluetooth, vibrate mode/ringer mode,
GPRS or
EDGE capable. You can also take pictures with the phones external display if you want to take pictures of yourself. The best part about the external display is that you can control your music. There are the three buttons to toggle through music and pause/play. You can put the volume up or down using the side volume buttons. On the external display, you can see the song title, the volume level, time remaining in the song etc. The internal display has a resolution of 240x 320 and displays 65,000 colors.
The HTC Star Trek supports A2DP meaning that you can stream stereo audio to a Bluetooth device. Before A2DP the sound would be mono and not good enough quality to listen to music. The best part is that you can listen to music from your phone all wirelessly via Bluetooth headphones. I have tried the A2DP profile using the new Motorola Ht820. In my opinion, music sounds better than I imagined and I could not believe that it was over Bluetooth. Only the latest phones have this feature and soon it will be the next standard in phones just like ordinary Bluetooth is now.
Another cool thing you can do with this phone is stream music to your car radio wirelessly. New car stereos have Bluetooth built in so you can listen to music from your phone. For people that do not have Bluetooth enabled in their car, they can purchase the iTech Clip S35 that can plug into an FM tuner or cassette adaptor. Basically the iTech Clip S35 is a Bluetooth headset that has a built in headphone jack, and has the A2DP profile. All you have to do is connect your phone to the headset and connect the headset to your stereo via a FM tuner or cassette adaptor and you’re all set to play music from your phone to your car speakers wirelessly.
The Star Trek also comes with wired stereo headphones which are also very impressive because of the high volume and quality. The headphones are black in color and have a built in mic with volume control.
