I just managed to Pickup the specs of HTC tattoo and thought i will put it up here 528MHz Qualcomm MSM7225 processor, 512MB/256MB ROM/RAM, 106 x 55.2 x 14-mm / 113 grams, 2.8-inch touchscreen LCD pushing 240x320 QVGA pixels, 900/2100MHz HSPA/UMTS and quad-band GSM/EDGE, internal GPS, 802.11b/g WiFi, digital compass, accelerometer, and Bluetooth 2.0 I guess it is powerful enough to run Android 2.1 | |

So key things to look for about HTC Tattoo should be to look at little performance intensive aspects. 1. Is it able to support HVGA resolution like other Android phones. If not what is the impact on downloadable applications and how many of them can actually work on Tatto ? 2. How is the browser rendering performance if we compare to an iPhone with similar CPU or other Android 2.1 device with multicore ARM CPUs. 3. what is the Maximum Video Capture resolution and Max framerate possible on this phone. 4. Does it support H.264 like it's higher end cousins. 5. Does it support any application for CS VT ( H.324M) or PS VT/ VOIP If not then from technical point of view we need to ask , Can a third party company will ever be able to provide any application on this phone which can record high framerate video with higher resolution. Or any other feature from above list. If not we need to ask why not with an ARM11 core at 528Mhz and 256MB RAM when competing OS can do the same with similar CPU power and RAM. This may in fact substantiate some of my earlier assertions. Now too cool off the thread I am not providing any answer to above questions but leaving them for users to find out. | |

| You may want to take a bit of your own advice "Engineers in MNC support centers are not best to comment on technology strategy issue" and leave that to the competition & time to tell. For a common man planning to buy a phone, VFM and upgradability are the keywords not some geek talk. Unlike home grown products; collaborative work takes time to mature since it involves taking along concerns from all partners. Same is true with android which has to work with competing parties at various levels - chip manufacturers(TI, QCOM, Marvel etc.,), Phone manufacturers(Mot, HTC, Samsung etc.,). No short cuts there. Android has been open just for 2+ yrs now. Give it time and open market to see how it evolves. Fact that google has been able to get a commercially viable solution on Linux and that too in such a short duration unlike the numerous attempts by companies earlier proves the collaborative effort. LiMo, Symbian Foundation - Politics, "leader takes it all", conflict of interest etc., have brought down these & other mentioned forums (for now...never loose hope  ). Having been thru one or more of these biased forum does not give right to extrapolate and say that ALL forum(including OHA) are politically driven. Many companies have successfully pushed numerous code/design changes upstream - TI, QCOM, HTC, Mot are few examples. For those who have failed, it may help revisiting causes(code quality, acceptance by the huge linux community as good feature/fix) other than blaming politics. It is the in-thing now a days for phone manufacturers to show that they promote opensource community (so developers can come contribute?). Will not be surprised if chinese start doing that after koreans. BTW, have been tracking Open Source - Samsung Mobile (and not http://opensoure.samsung.com as mentioned in post earlier) for sometime now and the friendliness/usefulness of this page beats every other opensource site . The i7500 patch on this site - Android's 7500 has a bunch of files which are mostly the same google published plus few tweaks on clock setting, modem etc.,(don't blame opensource community if they aren't interested in this device specific change though) but mostly the code already available. No reference of the value add on top of google's code(aka on G1 - am assuming there was some). Other projects posted on this site are a bunch of code files (the latest having just 4 C files!) but just code or tech talk that one cannot use is of no help and needs to be shoved aside as just that - technical aspects, not helpful for common man. Am told that hardware capability wise, MSM7225 is very similar to MSM7200 that came in G1 or Samsung I7500, so the above must be add ons from HTC side to differentiate.

The Update for Android 2.1 is still not available (The official One) and the update path is still murky. Battery life compared to my earlier Nokia E series is not that good. The phone cam is no camera replacement (The Pic quality can be used for Facebook at best). All android apps (especially paid) is still not open to India. Exchange support (incase you want to use it for official Email) is not there. No idea on if available on 2.1 update | |

Well about the update. Currently SPICA stocks are out. People say as Samsung is busy updating android. Hence next batch will be with Android 2.1. I hope so. Any idea on SPICA's utilization? Are all the features usable and not just parts of specs? Have anyone tried all those apps for android like, GPS tracking, remote control, flash, etc? Please post your detailed experience on SPICA. Is there any other model which beats SPICA around the same price range which I can buy? | |

By any chance did you have a chance to compare with nexus one? (i know it's not available in India at the moment) I am thinking of Milestone or N1 for me, so want to know your inputs on how Milestone is? Does it have Motonav preinstalled? Quote:
Even if you have GPRS plan activated, sometimes the same plan may not work in all phones. Most ISPs have different plans for low end phones and smart phones. That could be a reason. | ||
