Back to Palm Treo 650

Switching to HTC Touch Dual running Windows Mobile 6 based on a few reasons:
1. Singtel helpdesk keeps saying that the pool voice quality was due to my phone.
2. 3.5G support on HTC Touch Dual
3. Video call function supported on HTC Touch Dual

After switching, the same problem of voice quality still exist. Singtel configured my number to be of pool quality similar to VOIP as I am using MIO plan, not sure why.

I like the transcriber of windows mobile 6, it is very convenient as you can write continuously, with practice, it is very satisfying to input text fast.

It is fun to have video call. However, most of the time the other party could not hear me properly, so I have to switch back to voice call. While I was in the toilet, I have to ensure that it was not video call before I answered the call.

However, the function I needed most is the search capability of the data on the phone. On WM6, the search is fast enough, but when you have a few similar records and try to read them one after another, you will notice that you have to wait around 10 seconds to get to another one. Whereas on Treo 650, you can go to the next record almost instantaneously.

So finally, I switch back to my old Treo 650. I am considering buying Treo Centro although Palm is disappointing in the area of 3.5G and the resolution of the camera.

My conclusion is that HTC Touch Dual is a good phone running wm6 and is fun for people who has some compelling reason running wm6, but not for people who need fast and simple search functions of memo, contacts, calendar and nothing else.
