[HTC Wings] Fertesz:
Hi,

I still intend to obtain this smartphone, yet I thought I could get some opinions from people who actually own S730. I've read a bunch of reviews, but I am aware that reviewers might have skipped some issues (as proven with this driver issue and what TyTN II owners wrote on this topic). I mean - plain opinions, what do you like/dislike about the phone.

I newer owned a smartphone before and I am attracted to the keyboard+keypad idea (I own Nokia 6820), which leaves me with quite a narrow set of choices. S730 looks good and gets some nice reviews (negative ones typically center on how it is not so great upgrade from S710, which is irrelevant to me).

For example - I know that S730 is one of those devices affected by lack of proper drivers, but is it so painful? Despite possibility of resolving this problem by HTC - I never read anything about it being seriously lacking in terms of rendering graphics (which again - doesn't mean it isn't).

All opinions very welcome.

Thanks.
[HTC Wings] phailo:
I changed from HTC TyTN (I). I am really satisfied. TyTN was very good, but I hated touch screen. Now I am completely accustomed to non-touch screen and am satisfied. I don't play games so I even didn't check out that graphics driver issue. The only one thing I dislike about this phone is the lack of RAM. But it's also not so bad - I just have to restart my phone once a day. Also this was the same about TyTN, it went better with ROM upgrade (which I am now just waiting for). I know Nokia and Sony Ericsson (I had also P910) and you can't compare any other OS with Windows Mobile, it's best. I can absolutely recommend this phone to all men who use phone to work or to geeks. :)
[HTC Wings] buzzard:
HTC S730

I have had mine for about a month now and find it to be a little anemic. There is a memory leak problem which may or may not have a resolution. There are also features in these phones which do not seem to be activated ie... GPS (which is neither here nor there to me), but what does concern me is the lack of HSDPA services which this phone is advertised to have. There are several permutations of this phone including the Softbank X03HT which seems to have more of the radio active than the models being pushed on the market by HTC direct. I am about fed up with mine and am going to go to something with a more robust chip set such as the new HP models which are more business centric. It is unfortunate because you get roped in to paying a lot of money for features that you expect but do not get.

On a positive note though the senior members of this form are very adept at manipulating the software and documenting what can be done to make this phone more useful.
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
I really like mine, the memory issue is starting to slow me down in some places since I got used to actually having a smartphone (first one for me too) I watch video's and play games on it. Compaired to my old phone its night and day better so I cannot complain about that yet. Could it be better for the specs? Of course it could but until HTC or someone cooks something up what is is. Just keep the memory clean and you will be happy :) I love the keybard, I started texting heavily near the end of my old phones life and it was killing me. Same for online usage. A few days ago I learned that I can hold the button down for the secondary press instead of having to hit function... Small things that you wouldnt think about make it good.

I am happy with Edge speeds here in Texas, my old phones CDMA speed was slower than edge so eh, and I think last month I used almost 120 megs of data. Not a lot but enough.

As to their lack of HSDPA support, it never was advertised to have 3g here in the states, a few seller sites miss represented it but on HTC's site they never said it had the radio for the states. Stupid I agree but its not for the states and they never said it would work on 3g here.

If I was coming from the s710 which had better drivers or another well supported phone then I might be less satisfied, but I really enjoy this phone.
[HTC Wings] Litoven:
I'm really satisfied, love it for being a smartphone with no touchscreen. I hope the few bugs I've found so far could be resolved with a future upgrade. I have just two weeks on it and very happy, resolved the memeory issue with oxio closeapps, so pretty satified.
[HTC Wings] Terror Factor:
I like it, I changed from a nokia n91 8gb. I wanted to try windows mobile on a phone. It's a small phone, that looks normal, but it has great features. WiFi, 3G, fast processor, keyboard, high res screen, bluetooth,...

Imo it has everything a phone should have, except for the gps(it would rock if they fixed that!). The memory is not such a big issue, if you would run out of memory, you can use the taskmanager to close some apps.

I must say that WM6 is a little bit buggier than symbian, but it's not annoying.

I also love the program coreplayer, I can play high quality divx-movies without converting, like the prison break episodes. On my previous phone, i had to convert those, because the program(smartmovie) and the phone couldn't handle such files.
[HTC Wings] wetete:
It's a very good phone. a bit too bulky but the keyboard is REALLY good. I makes a lot of difference. You can type anywhere in a very user friendly fashion.

The well publicized memory problem is just a concern, not an issue. I run a free RAM application once in a while and get on with life.

Video driver is good enough for small movies. It runs approx at same speed as my old Qtek8310 which had a slower clock.

Could be a bit faster with the menus but it's not really annoying. It's windows under the hood...

I use it for GPS tomtom and it's cool with external BT receiver. G3 in Europe is a blast!

I would recommend that device.
[HTC Wings] Arcano:
My only concern so far, besides the lack of gps, is its responsiveness. Considering the S730 is supposed to be a pretty powerful phone, I find it a bit slow opening menus, turning the screen, etc.
[HTC Wings] vrolok:
that was my first impression too: a bit on the slow side. But... surprise surprise... after getting a SDHC memory card (and not the standard old-fashion SD card I used to have earlier in my wings) all went much faster! and i really mean fast!!! Overall I am very happy and fully satisfied with my wings. just keeping a constant eye on the memory, and using an external gps, and all goes very well...
[HTC Wings] divemasta:
hey all!

i use my S730 since 1 month here in europe. it works pretty fine with HSDPA, WIFI etc.

i use it as a real business-tool every day. speed and memory is okay for me as i use a 2GB memory-card.

the only really big problem i have with that device is the battery-run. i have to use 2 batteries to keep it alive for the hole day without charging. specially when you use HSDPA the battery runs so fast.

all together a nice tool for daily usage of communication (phone, mail, chat ...)

hope the developers will solve that battery problem for the future.
[HTC Wings] rooomish:
So, if I make the results from contributions above - poor battery life, speed is not so fast as we expected, we are waiting for new ROM to solve the memory lack, we are waiting for new ATI graphics drivers, we are frustrated that GPS is really not working as HTC announced - and we hope that HTC will be so polite, that they cook the new rom which maybe solve some described problems - in that case S730 is really great smartphone.
[HTC Wings] phailo:
Hmm, altough what you mentioned above - yes, it is. Probably because these problems are little blown up. I migrated from TyTN which can be considered to be "top class" and I am really very satisfied. ;)
[HTC Wings] Arcano:
I agree with you in everything except one detail: I don't recall HTC announcing that the S730 would have gps (at least not in my country).
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
The phone was never advertised as having GPS, but since it shares the chip with the TYTNII it has GPS abilities. Now like with some other phones they could choose to support it, but thats kinda lame, they would sell a whole lot more of these things if it supported it out of the box.
[HTC Wings] Fertesz:
Thanks guys

So, I assume that this RAM issue works kinda like in case of PC - computer becomes less responsive after several days w/o restart? Despite my ignorance on what technically causes this problem, I guess that this is common to pretty much all smartphones/PDA'a/whatever - I mean those 'more powerful' devices (gimme a break - my first PC had a processor few times weaker than S730!).

And as I understand, there is software that helps you deal with lack of free RAM. Is it build-in (don't think so...),or you have to buy/download it?

(OK, I googled up Oxios, mentioned by Litoven and I see it's freeware:) Funny thing - the post that mentioned it was the first thing I got when searched the google:p)

Another thing that I don't get: vrolok71 mentioned that his device's speed improved after getting a SDHC memory card... Could someone please explain what is so special about it - isn't it just an additional space, like most memory cards?

As for battery life - I already asked it in another thread and I believe that those conectivity options (3G, WiFi, bluetooth, etc.) are the ones that drain bettery most (this was kinda confirmed here too). So it seems that I can extend bettery life when I have too (trips?), by using standard connections, right? Some people reported a reasonable battery life, extending to few days w/o recharge. They weren't sitting on 3G and WiFi (not all the time at least) though.

As for upgrades from HTC - this whole classaction thing (I am impressed with this - I really am) resulted in, as I believe, an upgrade coming. Regardless if it means the drivers (as it seems - not, and that kinda makes HTC.... "unfriendly" company, and this sucks), it will supposedly affect S730's performance. In a good way I hope;)

Thank you for all the replies:) You have a great community here. All replies help really - nothing beats honest user opinions. Glad I found this forum(:

Oh - and about GPS: I don't believe it was advertised as having GPS, but certainly HTC (intentionally I guess) allowed some rumours to arise (pre-production model), which surely made S730 more interesting. Marketing I suppose.
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
Somewhat, but just like a computer you can keep your memory clear. I leave my PC on for months at a time without reobooting and dont run into problems. And most of what I do is memory intensive.

The program I use to keep my memory clear is build in taskamanger for closing things that dont have that option, and SK Tools (free to download) which has a good memory cleaner that will go in and free up the other stuff that isnt being used. But yes eventaully a quick reboot is the easiest way to just free it up again.

Some of what can speed it up with using the memory card is installing programs to this, or dumping your temporary internet files to the memory card instead of the phones memory / storage space. That type of thing can help performance a little.

When actively using those connections they will drain the battery a little faster, but without using them they dont affect it too much. Even using Edge I can drain my battery in a day easily, just depends on how much your using the phone.
[HTC Wings] Fertesz:
OK, maybe I need to clean my CPU memory more intensively, or maybe it's just Microsoft;) Thanks for the reply anyway:)

I guess I'll have to get used to new routine - keeping memory clean. Not sure how painful this'll be, but it sounds like a reasonable thing to do. I mean - closing after you're done (with particular app).

Yeah, I'll never really now what battery life will be for me, unless I actually use the phone on day-to-day basis. Info gathered here gives me hope though.

Nice day to you all.
[HTC Wings] phailo:
But remember - that is just the first half. Second is to free memory. To this you can use some "hibernator". E.g. Oxios Hibernate (freeware) or some task manager which has this feature built in - e.g. Smarttoolkit (freeware). :) Otherwise you help yourself just a little.
[HTC Wings] jvlerick:
I have found that when I use a memorycleaner like SKTools or Oxios, it crashes the cellphone: I cannot get any network and I cannot make phonecalls anymore - SMS is still functional.

The only thing I can do is reboot to get it going again.

Anyone has the same experience and/or a solution?
[HTC Wings] phailo:
Seems weird to me.. Does it happen every time you use Oxios or SKTools, or just sometimes?
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
Thats a weird error, buggy software download or something, I use SK tools lite several times a day with no problems...
[HTC Wings] Fertesz:
OK, I peeked on Oxios' website and see what you mean. Thanks for the tip, I am starting to get a nice picture of what I'm getting myslef into:p
[HTC Wings] jvlerick:
Every time with either of those tools :(
[HTC Wings] phailo:
Didn't hear anything like this. It could signalize there is something wrong with your memory. If you don't make up any better solution, I'd suggest you to do a Hard-reset. After this, if these problems continue, it means there is probably some hardware malfunction.
[HTC Wings] prnull:
Well, looking at the OP's question, here's my 2cents.

Coming from the blissful use of SonyEricsson for several years I was thinking about getting the HTC Touch at first. As it happened a friend of mine had a S730 that I could borrow to test out functionality of WM6, so that i would know what was coming if I bought the Touch. After spending some time with it I really started to enjoy the experience of _not_ having touchscreen (I own a Dell Axim X5). Smartphones and Windows Mobile have done some nice things to enhance the experience later years.

Now I have to say, I got hooked on the qwerty-kbd, it's really nice :D. Though I think HTC has got a long walk ahead of them optimizing the OS and software for speed and experience I trust in the developers around the globe to rip this baby apart and cook some nice roms for it. As the community did with my deceased SE K750i :cool:. Tweaking that phone was pure joy!

Quick summary:

PROS

- Nice UI

- Easy navigation with menu's mapped to numberkeys

- Decent speed

- Good software archive available (net)

- Good hardware, Qualcomm MSM7200

CONS

- Lack of RAM

- Non optimized GFX drivers

- No GPS

- Bloated OS

WISH LIST

- Linux!

- Optimized drivers incl GFX

- GPS

- Home cooked rom

[HTC Wings] jvlerick:
As it only happens when using those tools, I just stopped using them for the time being.

I have not had that problem since, so I do no think it is hardware related and do not feel much for hard reset at this moment.

I can live with the need to reboot from time to time until Htc has firmware update ready to fix the memory leak.
[HTC Wings] cbreze:
I switch between my tytn2 and s730 alot. Someone posted that the s730 is a bit big. Compared to what? I think it feels great in the hand and I carry it in my shirt pocket quite comfortably. I also reboot every morning and have few ram issues. I like this smartphone alot. My one gripe is I don`t like to use xt9 and the device defaults to it. Everytime I write a text or email I have to change the setting manually. I have no battery issues at all and get a full day most of the time. I also keep a charger in the car and connect via usb sometimes in the office , so the battery is a non-issue for me. I don't have 3g anyway so no problem with that battery demand.

I like this phone alot and just talking about it makes me want to swap from the Ty2 right now and use it.:D
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
I think mine origionally defaulted to XT9 which I hate, I prefer abc mode, but after changing it on my keyboard in a txt msg it has never gone back to it :o?
[HTC Wings] phailo:
Me too....
[HTC Wings] cbreze:
Thanks for the info. I'll try it next time I'm on it. Got a new TC I'm playin' with right now.:cool:
[HTC Wings] retbergen:
I have had the s730 for a few weeks now. Previously I had a blue angel and a separate nokia phone because the sound quality was bad and the size was huge.

I do like the consept and I really don't miss a touch screen much. It's great for picking up emails and it works as a 3G modem for my portable computer. The phone bit is good.

Pro:

- Size (compared to PDA phones)

- win mobile 6

- potential (if HTC pull their arm out)

- 3g

- keyboard

- good telephone sound q

Con:

- Memory leak, what is going on, why isn't this fixed already? Having to reboot from time to time to get my phone back and not really wanting to start any software?

- It is slow, and in many ways it's slower than a s710 having half the cpu power!

- Drains battery quickly - In less than a day on microsoft direct push mail

- Screen flip on keyboard use is slow

- win mobile 6, clicking "more" all the time is annoying. 6.1 fix this + other annoying navigation issues.

- Internet sharing, if it doesn't work (USB) after you press connect then you have to reboot the phone to try again. It does not help to terminate all programs in task manager. So if you unplug the usb while sharing internet it will not reconnect after you plug it back, and you can't terminate it, you have to reboot phone. If you press connect before the computer is ready, then you have to reboot the phone and try again. annoying. So using internet sharing, make sure you do it right, connect and disconnect on the phone menu, ok?

Wish list:

- a well cooked wm6.1 and firmware without mem leaks

- opera 9.x web browser

- more robust internet sharing

- a set up that keeps the battery alive for at least a day
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
All you need for the memory issue is a good cleaning program, its a temp fix but you wont be rebooting everytime you want to run something.

With ICS I have found that once active sync is up and running I have no problems connecting it on my laptop. If I unplug or something the worst I had to do was wait a few seconds before reconnecting after I plugged it back in. If I tried to connect before active sync was up nothing would happen, so I had to click the disconnect button, and unplug / replug in the USB cable, never had to reboot the phone for any of it though though :(

HTC definately made a great phone full of features that I really like, but they could hurry a little more on their support hehe.
