hey guys it's Anton speaking from pocketnow.com and today we're gonna continue our flowback series I'm gonna show you my first Windows mobile device which was the HTC B 3600 aka the HTC Trinity of course at the time of its release and later on HTC Trinity was considered to be one of HTC's best devices it had everything a business user might need from productivity tools to Windows Mobile 5.0 if you still remember that it was fast it was robust so it was a great device we're gonna compare it to the HTC hd2 which is currently HTC's best-selling device we're gonna do lots of tests and comparisons so stay tuned for more and enjoy the video the HTC P 3600 was a gorgeous device it was released in September 2006 and it came with Windows Mobile 5.0 it was powered by a Samsung processor running at 400 megahertz and the tech check it out 64 megabytes of RAM and 128 megabytes of ROM it had a two point eight inch resistive touchscreen QVGA resolution 240 by 320 which at the time due to Windows Mobile 5.0 was operated by a stylus finger friendliness came later on with Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1 it had integrated GPS Bluetooth infrared port and Wireless for connecting to B and G standard networks it came with a front-facing camera which was 0.3 megapixels and a 1.9 megapixel camera at the back as for expansion slots it supported mini SD cards and if you had the chance to own a micro SD you had to use it in a micro to mini converter one of his best features was the battery life it lasted me at least three days and that was due to the battery which was 1500 milliamps let's take a closer look at the device on the front we had the screen which was 2.8 inch in diagonals on top of it we had the VGA camera which was front-facing the speaker and on either side of the speaker we had an LED light the right one was constantly blinking to show connection to cell tower and the other one was used for notifications of text messages email messages reminders bluetooth on and so on at the bottom we had a button plate two soft buttons which corresponded to the soft buttons on the screen a four directional deep end with an enter button at the middle call start : a dedicated start button and an OK button on the left side we had a volume rocker which could be used for volume settings and navigation with the function of scrolling up scrolling down and pushing it inside below that was a push to talk button which I personally never used because my carrier doesn't support it on the other side there was a power button which activated the device below that was a voice command button then the small door for the mini SD card a button for activating the camera and the shutter at the button we had the USB port a soft reset hole and the infrared port comparing the two makes the 3600 look ridiculous the hd2 has a screen which is almost as big as the 3600 the hd2 is much wider and taller and of course it is much thinner comparing the specs of the two devices makes again the trinity look ridiculous because the hd2 features a 1 gigahertz Snapdragon processor while the 3600 features a 400 megahertz Samsung the memory on the hd2 is huge it's close to half a gigabyte of RAM and ROM while there are 64 megabytes of RAM and 128 megabytes are from on the Trinity one thing you'll notice is that the HD 2 does not have a front-facing video camera like the Trinity has and it's been debated at the time some say it's useless some can't live without it personally I have never used video calling and I don't think I ever will as for the buttons as opposed to the for directional d-pad on the Trinity the HD 2 only has 5 button button which you already know by now so there's no d-pad on the hd2 there's a d-pad which is sort of a virtual d-pad on the SI p just below the keyboard now even though the hd2 has windows mobile 6.5 and the Trinity has Windows Mobile 5.0 let's do a first productivity test which means starting the device I will try to start them at the same time and see which one gets to the home screen faster here we go standard HD - vibration you can see the old-style logo on the boot screen which was the HTC's first logo before they got to the new one the information is displayed on the HD - almost the same as it was with other devices here's the HD - splash screen here's the Windows Mobile 5.0 splash screen and then again the windows mobile 6.5 flat splash screen the HD - started but it's not ready to be used yet while the P 3,600 finished and it's ready to be used so I guess in productivity the Trinity wins let's say by a margin of 10 to 15 seconds on to the standard Internet web page loading test we will start to load at the same time pocketnow.com and we'll see which one makes it there faster I will try to push the Go buttons at the same time like no notice internet explorer in the old version and opera by default on the HD - which almost already loaded the page so I guess there's no need for comparisons here obviously the HD 2 wins let's see by how much it's not fully loaded yet Trinity is catching up so it actually finished at the same time with the hd2 scrolling and display is a little bit difficult on the small screen you I'll have to use the stylus to scroll down but it's usable it definitely was usable at the time while uh flick scrolling and multi-touch on the hd2 are top of state of the art technology nowadays okay here's another one launching word and starting a new document and I've done this before so I know the outcome maybe it's the difference in the different versions of word mobile but actually the Trinity wins here because while the hd2 will start to load the default template the p30 600 makes it instantly let's see there so it's close to a two-second margin and here's a benchmark last but not least of what I used to do to compare devices and different SD cards I will try to start my personal favorite navigational system which is I go and we will see which one of them starts it's faster I'll prepare them both ready set go I don't think there's room for debate on this the hd2 clearly wins because of the Snapdragon processor and the huge RAM while the p30 600 almost started so this was my video throwback presenting to you my first windows mobile device the HDCP 3600 I hope you enjoyed the video it's still a great device it's still a great windows mobile device I hope you liked it this was anton from pocketnow.com thanks for watching
