Features
The HTC X7500 has an 8GB microdive, WiFi, 3megapixel camera, GPS, Bluetooth, QWERTY Keyboard, 5 inch display and much more.
The X7500 has an 8GB microdrive made by Hitachi and also has a Mini SD slot for expandable memory. Presently you can have up to 12 GB if you buy a 4GB Mini SDHC memory card. Currently there is no other Pocket PC that has 8GB built in which also offers expandable memory. When the X7500 was first released people were complaining about there microdrives not working especially the T-Mobile branded ones. Anyone who had issues with their drive and sent it in for warranty repair got their microdrive exchanged for a flash drive. I think HTC should have made all the devices with a flash drive because it would have made loading times faster but more importantly the battery life would have been better too.
The X7500 has WiFi b/g and works exceptionally. Like other Windows phones it is very easy to connect to a nearby WiFi signal. All you have to do is activate WiFi from the Comm Manager and if there is a nearby wireless signal a notification will pop up displaying the various signals. All you have to do is click connect and wait a couple of seconds. Like other Windows phones with WiFi, you can select your connection preference. You can either select best performance or best battery or in between.
The X7500 has one of the best cameras I have seen for Pocket PC standards. The camera on the X7500 is 3.2 megapixel with auto focus and flash. The camera application and menu is the exact same as in past devices. You have options for the following:
- Picture Quality: Superfine, Fine, Normal and basic
- White balance: Auto, Daylight, Night, Incandescent and fluorescent
- Overlays: Grayscale. Sepia, Cool, Negative
- Exposure Measurement: Central and Integral
The X7500 also records great videos. The video is saved in MP4 format (MPEG 4) which is also a plus because you can view them in almost any program.
The X7500 comes with TOM TOM Navigator 6 and one free city map download. You can also purchase any TOMTOM map from their website but prices vary depending on your location. Overall I like TOMTOM better than other GPS programs but it’s all a matter of preference. The Navigation works great and you can still use your favorite GPS programs like; Destinator, Route 66, Google maps etc.
The phone also has a program called quick GPS which was also found on the HTC P3300. Quick GPS is a nice small program which updates your GPS data either using your data connection, WiFi or Activesync. If your GPS data is always updated your device will find a GPS signal a lot faster. The GPS data lasts three days before it expires.
