Entertainment, Internet, Storage, Connectivity
Entertainment on the Star Trek is amazing because you can do a lot more than a normal flip phone. The Star Trek has Windows Media Player 10 built in which is great when listening to mp3’s. The best part about Windows Media Player on the Star Trek is that when the phone is flipped closed but Media Player is open you can access everything with the external display. If you want to go one step further and watch all types of videos you can download a free program call TCPMP for Smart phone. You can also download awesome games made especially for Windows Mobile Smartphone or play regular Java games with the built in Java midlet application.
The HTC Star Trek does not have Wifi built in. Although it would be great, it would not be practical with a low resolution screen and no QWERTY keyboard. The Star Trek does have GPRS and EDGE so it is capable of going on the internet. The Star Trek’s OS has Internet Explorer Smartphone Edition which is an excellent web browsing tool. With Internet Explorer you can save favorites and have options to warn you when changing to an unsecure page, warn you when the page content is blocked by security settings and whether or not to allow cookies.
The Star Trek has 64MB of RAM and 64MB of flash memory. The Star Trek also supports an external memory card which is Tans Flash (Micro SD). The good thing about the memory card is that 2GB have just been made by Sandisk and will be on sale soon. The downside to the memory card is where it is placed.
In my opinion the memory card should have been placed somewhere else because it is directly underneath the SIM card slot. Not only do you have to take out the battery but you also have to take out the SIM card to place the memory card. This means that you cannot use a card reader because it is unpractical taking out the battery and SIM every time.
The Star Treks Bluetooth works great. I connected it to my Samsung WEP 200 and works awesome. Another good thing about the Star Trek is that even when using Bluetooth all day the phone’s battery was still half way. Although I don’t use my phone as much as others may, I still believe that the battery life with Bluetooth on lasts a lot longer than the Razr. The Star Trek has Bluetooth version 1.2 and has A2DP stereo over Bluetooth built in. With many other devices you have to update the ROM in order to get the A2DP stereo over Bluetooth profile.
