Ah we think in the same way!
I've kept my P1i and just had a free Samsung F480 to play with and then in October my wifes upgrade is due. She'll inherit a Tocco and I'll see what I fancy. |

But that won't work my G900 though will it? Surely the only version of Tom Tom 7 I can download is the one ripped of the Diamond Touch hence requiring Win Mo 6 to run? |

I've read a couple of reviews that liken the opera in the Diamond quite favourably to Safari in the iphone and mentioning how well it renders pages without losing too much structure
mine arrives tomorrow or Wednesday and this will be one of my first areas to test

I have Opera 9.5 on my Tytn II now, it works well (with a couple of little snags) and browses in the way I'd imagine Safari does - smoothly zooming in and out, and adjusting formatting as it goes. Very nice.
Of course it's only QVGA on the Tytn II, so not quite in the Iphone/Touch Diamond league.

I'm waiting to see what value VGA really has on a 2.8" screen but I guess those little pixels are very close together compared to on a larger screen and so probably produce a fairly smooth looking page

Im really liking this HTC, im getting used to it.
I have a question, is this phone using the 4GB internal memory when browsing the net? I was on Facebook for 5 min and I got an "out of memory" error, kinda wierd when a phone has 4GB internal memory.
But then I noticed that theres 2 memory types, internal and phone memory...?
Why would they do this? Why not just use 4GB all together. Its kinda kinda just having a 4GB memory card.
Nokia and SE dont do this on their 4/8GB phones....
Otherwise its quite good, wish I could set a personal ringtone for the alarm and remove some options from the Today screen.

I imagine that WM treats the 4GB exactly like a storage card on any other device - it's a separate drive effectively.
Programme memory, which software actually runs in, is a different thing altogether. It's fast RAM, like on your PC, not flash-based memory like a storage card or that 4GB in the Diamond.
If you go to Start -> Settings -> System (tab) -> Memory, you'll see storage memory on the left hand side, and program memory on the right hand (at least that's how it is on my Tytn II). Whether that storage figure includes the 4GB I don't know, but either way it's the program memory you apparently ran short on.

I agree you shouldn't have run out of memory in any case, the program memory is ample either way. Most likely you just found a bug in either Opera or Touch Flo 3D, both of which are fairly memory intensive.
In nine months of using my Tytn 2, whcih has less resources available, I've never had a memory error. |

mine is on a truck to be delivered today so I'll be having a play tonight
if its like the TyTN II there is no GPS software in the device so until you install something that uses the GPS there's not really much you can do.
