Some HTC Hermes ( HTC TyTN ) phones have teething problems ! August 07, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Apparently some selected models of HTC TyTN have problems... so if you are pondering to buy one of those Pocket PC phones, you must read it: Apparently there are problems with screen alignment: Screen alignment is a big problem here in Taiwan, since HTC with CHT (Chung Hwa Telecom) launched the Dopod CHT 9000 at the beginning of July. After almost one month, HTC and CHT eventually admitted that there is an issue on the touch screen alignment, and everyone can change to a new one in a month of your purchasing, if you got this problem. HTC and CHT started to release a new version we called "little green spot" version at the end of July. Look at the picture and you'll know what I mean. This problem is probably nothing to do with "USP to PC", micro SD card, software, keyboard, WM5, etc. It is just as simple as a hardware problem of the right side "rubber gasket" between the frame and touch screen, which is a little bit thicker and create extra pressure on the screen then make it crazy. And of course the temperature of the battery during charging would make it worse (you know the physics). HTC never gives their own story. This is what I heard from some tech guys. [...] And we also found devices with S/N after HT630XXXXX.... would be better. Since we believe they are the "real new ones", and S/N before that, just "rework" ones. The firs bunch of "guinea pigs" in Taiwan got S/N HT624 & HT625, which might have serious alignment problem. Then HTC started to release the "little green spot" version, which has S/N HT630, for changing. As far as I know there is still no complaint from HT630 on this issue. To learn more click here - if you are planning to purchase HTC Hermes we recommend you to read posts there carefully. Please note: people are also complaining about other problems with HTC TyTN, including problems with establishing UMTS connections and also problems with achieving real HSDPA transfer speeds (up to 1.8 megabit/second theoretically, although practically 1.6 megabit/second is achievable) where people managed to achieve only 400 kbps (instead of expected 1.6 megabit/s)... Since HTC Hermes ( HTC TyTN is a HTC branded version of this phone) is a very sophisticated phone, including latest technologies like dual band UMTS and HSDPA (fast version of UMTS with faster download speeds), we recommend you to purchase this phone rather through your mobile operator (wireless carrier) - i.e. operator, that also provides SIM card and network coverage - so that your phone will be fine tuned to the network and properly tested! If you purchase HTC Hermes from an online distributor or from another operator that you use, the likelihood that you will have UMTS and HSDPA problems is much higher...
