HTC Imagio for Verizon Video Review

[m0na333]

no face time??



[BrooklynHeree]

I'm thinking bout getting a new phone should I get this one?

[chrswd]

This phone is terrible

[dsiboy1]

Great review can you watch tv on wifi

[AudioFileZ]

Newegg has it right now unlocked for less than $150. For all its shortcomings when you can buy it without a contract for this kind of jack it becomes compelling.

[asifgunz]

@AudioFileZ i jus got mine today from newegg. they ran out , the day after i bought it. amazon has some, but price is kinda high. also some have disagreed with the product name as "unlocked" and im gona c it fr myself

[thesilversky11]

THIS PHONE SUCKS... i have it its really slow for everything texting, internet, nd juzt to hit the home button it takes forever, it glitchez A LOT. nd it has very little memory it always nags about memory being full nd it doesnt let you recieve text messages when the memory is full. so yuh have to delete files nd ugh its anoying. its also very complicated.

[peopleloveme100]

[marcoscapaz]

a message always appears on the screen, data connection can not connect

DIALED#777

[malarfra]

[TheNorgasm]

@malarfra Yeah i have this phone and the buttons always get stuck at the bottom

[malarfra]

@TheNorgasm Thanks friend...

[ranvideogamer]

[MrOhDamn7]

[tomtomthepieguy]

[MikeHendershotJr]

I can't wait to get this phone Thanks so much for your info :)

[kruskie420]

if you buy this phone do you have to pay the 15$ for the live t.v? or is that optional?

[WhateverGaming1]

@kruskie420

I think its optional bro

[keokle2]

Im getting this in two weeks

[Superweirdgirl1234]

[HollieUnLuvdOfficial]

Like A App Or Something??

Please Reply!

[TREX3436]

@HollieUnLuvdOfficial yea actually it does...and twitter...and youtube

[collinmurph]

@HollieUnLuvdOfficial look at the top bar of the windows marketplace app at 9:17

[crazylilkid]

PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT, swear to god, its worse than a slow ass fucking computer

[FashionHoney73]

i have the voyager as well; i only had to replace it one time because a hing broke. but other than that no probs. but i am getting this next week & i really am excited!

:)

[UNDEADPAMF]

Ive had the tmobile sidekick id for almost three years and im finaly getting verizon and this phone

[JingerSK]

I currently have a phone with the older version of Windows (6.1), so I was wondering if, on the Imagio, can you install ringtones via MMS messages? I can't on this 6.1 phone, and I was hoping that Windows 6.5 changed that.

[inem99]

im gettin this phone for my bday in october cant wait

[frenchxtoastx87]

fuck my voyager i want this!

[Ibanez2546]

@frenchxtoastx87 i couldn't agree more, i have to replace my voyager every month because the input always breaks, piece of garbage.

[frenchxtoastx87]

@Ibanez2546 yeah my dads got voyager 2 nd his screen went green for like 2 days then back to normal. but yeah this is more pimp and suitable

[MRGAMERNEWS]

what is the best verizon phone?

[Suicide669Silencee]

@MRGAMERNEWS in my opinion the Droid Incredible is the best

[kevioss]

@Suicide669Silencee yep.. thats a realy good phone.. but i would go for droid X .. (my opinion)

[WaCiesT]

is the touchscreen comparable to the one on the iphone?

[kevioss]

@WaCiesT yes its comparable.. iphone have a capasitive touchscreen while the imagio have a resesitive touchscreen, i think capasitive is better

[SuperUberNoobTuber]

How would u go about getting stored tv shows on phones such as the imagio or samsung omnia 2?

[UnicycleFilms]

@slantblant But with my Verizon plan i get a discount after 2 years and this phone goes on sale for me for $200

[UnicycleFilms]

Is this phone worth $200?

[1300ct]

is this phone better then the droid eris???

[rockindoodcm]

@1300ct depends if you like a windows mobile os or and android os. I like the window's one better, but that's just me.

[TheTeeJay16]

does this have a touch screen like the iphone?

Like the heat sensitive kind?

[Jedijettson]

Imagio is pretty good. Thats my opinion! '_'

[nmcarpenter]

I'm disappointment there's no fold-out keyboard.

[undeadnow]

@nmcarpenter does the ibrick

[lidul]

ok so on a scale of rogue to droid, how responsive is this touch screen?

[skittleschocolate]

us multiply rogue by 10000, and subtract 100 from droid. its way better than the rogues, but not as good as the droids. but droid is capacitive (responds to heat) and imagio is resistive (reponds to pressure) but for resistive, it's kickass

[gettubefail]

This Phone Sucks do not get it i have it and it always slows dont web browsing sucks i regret wasting 200 on it

[lidul]

shoulda got a droid:) i love my droid except for the little mess ups every once in a while but i really regret buying it, mainly because it was exactly one week before the nexus came out

[undeadnow]

@gettubefail dude i bet u dont even own it ...

[RealGame22]

This phone is laggy compared to the Moto Droid. Real Talk. It needs a better processor

[StevenVicious]

i think the droid and imagio are kinda the same. :P but thats my opinion

[neel4321]

Does the Imagio from Verizon have a Full Talk GPS Navigation ?

[xoKatieNicolexo]

Does vcast videos cost any extra than the 29.99$ data plan you pay monthly....or is it included?

[bammargarafan77]

do i need the data plan for this to work like a normal texting and calling phone?

[neothematrixhacker]

If you have a smart phone, Verizon requires you to pay for the minimum data plan. It's really gay.

[fourth1000]

can you turn that off with this phone?

[caughtupinthematrix]

yank and crank on the battery door...not really that cool.

[videopeeps1234567898]

Imagio or Droid Eris?

[neothematrixhacker]

Imagio. But I'd get the Motorola Droid.

[zdhitman15]

imagio. no questionz asked.. HANDS DOWN

[Jedijettson]

Does it have a desktop that lets you place apps anywhere?

[christianbeadles14]

okay plzzz help me answer these questions:

does it have a backround and does it have an app store???

[undeadnow]

yeah dude

[christianbeadles14]

oh thx!

[deeje8]

Excellent review. I wish I had the HTC Imagio instead of my LG Versa!!

[missymiss98]

da imagio rockz well i think soo

[jackies35]

I AM TRULY UPSET! I AM TRULY UPSET!

I AM TAKING THIS PHONE BACK TO VERIZON!!

I WANT THE NEW GOOGLE NEXUS ONE "THE REAL IPHONE KILLER"

DROID DOESN'T LOOK GOOD OR FEEL GOOD! sORRY!!

[hhhh0007]

I was going to get the Imagio but in reading many user reviews a lot of people say this phone (and other HTC phones) tend to freeze up a lot, and also they drop calls when their cheek touches the phone..........comments??

[KO1460]

Is the internet and mobile tv priced together or are they priced separately? Do you have to pay like 50 extra a month for both internet and mobile tv???

[joshypoosgirl]

i didnt have to pay seperate i love this phone! its just hard to adjust to

[lulutnl3]

How does it work with Windows Outlook???

[oscarin61]

DROID

[Perryownsyou]

HTC Imagio or DROID?

[PrinceKMC1]

@Perryownsyou if you want a business oriented phone, get imagio. if you want a messaging, browsing, app oriented phone, get droid

[SneakyNinja25]

does it cost for youtube, or is that with the plan?

[Dr3amWif3y]

it's not heat sensored -- you can just touch the screen with your nail and it will work <3 =]

[5botball]

is the gps free or dose it use wifi/internet ?

[yourleftnut1]

why is it so hard to get flash support on smart phones.. so lame

[SalvadoreanKOV]

what is flash support!!

[gblasco63]

do you know what a flash player is? its what plays your youtube vids and your games. so flash support is a phone with one

[greg1234567891012]

download skyfire it has flash player and you can pull up any website its fast you can pull up full myspace music and all

[souljaboyelias]

heat sensored?

[djmixmind]

She has a very attractive voice :)

[cranny07]

i wanted to the motorola droid but ima wait till the htc hd2(htc touch hd2) comes to the us hopefully they drop windows and go to t-mobile with android google. that would be perfect.

[GodPiggyX]

HD2 ain't no android device. Its windows mobile.

Get HTC dragon for android.

[cranny07]

I Know i just wish if t-mobile gets it they can change the os and i dont likt the htc dragons design so i'll be better off getting a droid

[flexwheelR]

htc =iphone killer

[MrMubzy]

DROID DOES! hahaha this thing looks ok but the droid is gonna be a monster

[FRESHKIDD215]

i WISH IT HAD A KEYBOARD! I would of got it,

[bazrin]

im jumping off the verizon train. i'm over all there phones and i can get a way better deal with sprint.

[RodThaBod]

Sprint? LMAO!!!!!!! Sprint is a joke. They are losing millions of customers each year.

[bazrin]

i just found out that they have the htc eris for verizon =D

[RodThaBod]

Might want to wait on the HTC Passion. It comes out soon for Verizon. The processor is twice as fast as the Eris and the Imagio.

[sabrecarlos]

read about the passion too i really want to see it

[JokerKlownX]

Will it require the data plan?

[spiz3000]

Unfortunately every smartphone from Verizon (except for the older XV6900) requires the data plan min of 29.99/month.

[Jotii001]

yea thats mad gay

[devils950003nj]

yea you're mad gay

[Jotii001]

yea fuck u there is no point of paying 30 bills when u dont use google browser

[gblasco63]

every time you say gay god makes an ugly baby

[SK8ZERO15]

if you do not get the internet data plan can u still use like the youtube player and google and stuff like that or do u have to get the internet plan to do that?

[BigSleepyOx]

Very nice review. Thanks. :)

[i10liver]

Should I get this or the droid?

[8275629]

Droid.

[bazrin]

get the droid. windows mobile doesnt have the applications that droid does

[thejasonshow]

negative...

[kcplayer85]

very nice phone but i think ill stick with my touch pro 2.

[leiferickson08]

love at first sight. <3

[TheShazzzz]

LOL - Funny that somebody whined about FOX NEWS CHANNEL being played. For me that's a selling point. There is a reason that FNC is dominating the ratings.

As for the Imagio....looks great, my wife works for VZW and played with the phone at her office. Personally I'm waiting for the Omnia 2 to be released then I will compare the two.

Omnia 2 will have that AMOLED screen

HTC devices have a huge dev base and are easier to customize.

Nice to see VZ finally getting some decent phones.

[itsmarkwtf]

Hey.. retard.. Fox news used to dominate the ratings.. last year.. ever since then.. its been slipping. Check up on it.

[morpheus27]

So wait. You're saying that Fox 'used to' dominate the ratings but now they are "slipping".

So, they no longer dominate? That is simply not true. They still dominate.

[itsmarkwtf]

Yes.. ur right.. what ur saying is simply not true.

[brittniPAIGE]

verizon wireless website does'nt have a demo video so this video helped. getting ready to go purchase it right now. I have been waiting for a phone to come out that was better then iphone in design. Really im a windows user not the ever over popularized MAC user. I think it would be wise not to compare the two in matters of function. brands rarely make phone with an ultra sleek elongated screen Great phone! Great info! Thanks

[Adrenalinejunkie1096]

That "wrap around" is not decoration. Its the speaker....

[itsmarkwtf]

I cannot believe u had it on fox.. Luckily this review is very good.. i will forget about the fox hiccup

[ricksaint]

you're an idiot, FOX is the most watched and highest rated cable news channel, why else would it be there. Look past the politics and enjoy the phone!

[itsmarkwtf]

Your an idiot.. Its not the most watched now. That rating died this year. idiot.

[10langart]

yeaaah... almost made my decision on the phone from that...

[amd77j]

The Fox News (aka TASS News) trash ruined it for me.

[BMXCuckovich]

does this phone support mp4 videos?

[paynefanbro]

When you pull off the back of the phone and you say this is the battery, afterwards it sounds like you said I'm kidding. LOL.

[cardinalpower119]

Your great Lisa!!!

[morelltechyahoocom]

I have been amazingly impressed with the Iphone only after watching and playing other peoples phone. But, I have Verizon and after trying to find a Service provider, they are far superior, wih great coverage. I just cant seem to find a phone in their product line, that compares to the Iphones capablities under one shell. Maybe this phone or the Google Android will match up to it, if they can get the quality and vast APP library the Iphone gives access to.

[morelltechyahoocom]

I would like to add, The Iphone games I have been played kept me intrested almost as much as my PSP. And Iphones game apps are only like $.99-$5.99 and are in memory instead of a cartridge-disc.

[nitrousboy0311]

I am about to switch to Tmobile because they are getting the HTC HD2

[Chck04]

Is this phone better than the Samsung Omnia 2?????

[paynefanbro]

Yes. I was thinking about getting the Omnia 2 but I saw this and it looks more finger friendly. Then I thought that I did not have to wait to get the Omnia 2 and instead I could get Windows Mobile 6.5 now.

[Gizzlezification]

YAY! It has WindMo Market!

[ProjectRecon1]

what a sick phone. good thing my upgrade is next wednsday!

[napoleanboots]

It's a really nice phone. Have fun with it.

[headachemaker]

Is there a regular T9 keyboard for texting or is there just the QWERTY?

[napoleanboots]

its just qwerty, landscape and portrait

[HokieFan1013]

is their any service provider that dosnt make you have a data plan?

[Davey8313]

If you buy an unlocked phone, they usually don't charge you for a data plan. I mean like a factory unlocked phone like the N97 or HTC HD. You can then get the cheap basic data plan instead of the smartphone which is like double the price... on AT&T at least.

[macmasterG3]

i wonder why HTC didnt put a lock button on the top of the imagio like they did with the Touch Pro 2 ? i really like that feature to make sure i dont start things from my pocket

[dsgbrebel03]

you hold the off button for two secs and it gives you the option of turning ur screen off

[coolwip121]

i think this phone is cool it might just be as good as the iphone.

[sprintrjm]

the idiot long finger nailed reviewer from wirelesszone could learn a thing or two from your reviews.

thanks.

[cedillosstudios]

everything looks great except for the keyboard too small

[2logical]

Yep you're right. I think the nagivation buttons for the keyboard are too big. they could have made the keyboard bigger and the navigation keys smaller in my opinion. But this phone is a beast though.

[cedillosstudios]

Yeah its a beast but since the Holidays are coming soon or even black friday sooner u might wanna check out the Samsung Omnia 2. Now thats the phone im waiting for. Its bigger and I think the megapixels look fantastic. Samsung makes the best color resolution. Also the Storm II. I heard its coming this month. But the Omnia II might be the best of them all is as long it has Windows 6,5. Look it up!

[108Blake]

Do you now if you have to get the data plan for 30 dollars a month like blackberries do?

[macmasterG3]

yeah verizon makes you have data for all smartphones AND blackberries now.. and i hear you might have to start paying for 6 months of data with new high end feature phones (samsung rogue)

[petewilburn]

yes, all smart phones do

[KingFC163]

damn... i never really noticed lady gaga fat ass. 7 :31

[163mike]

cool why wont u do a HTC imaigo vs the IPHONE 3GS cuz i cant decide on witch one to get? so can u post a video plez thanks.

[108Blake]

do u have verizon or at&t

[cphellp]

Me being a huge iphone fan of buy the first iphone and the iphone 3G and also the iphone 3Gs . Im kinda love this phone and will be buying this as a second phone .. why .. Verizons network .. Att sucks

[GuillotineGuido]

can you post or tell me how the qwerty virtual keyboard is? im debating on wether i want the touch pro 2 or the imagio. so far im looking at the touch pro 2 because of the qwerty but im considering the virtual because it is smaller... any thoughts?

[2logical]

Play with the pro 2 in a store. It has the same on screen keyboard as imagio. OSD in my opinion is cramped. Typical texting with all the abbreviations will be tolerable on imagio but if u text a lot and do full sentences u will want a hard keyboard like the one on the touch pro 2

[babycarmie]

i have the imagio. I prefer typing in portrait because the keys are bigger and its pretty fast. reminds me of iphone typing

[lovehina887]

wow finally we have a phone that has tv... it took like 5 years..

[LaurelCowgal]

I am stuck in my dorms reading this channel I'm so sad and lonely

[ARM187STRONG]

no no iphone 3gs for life !!!

[pobably911]

cant wait for ytour next review lisa im glad windows mobile is becoming some what of a respectable OS again especiallywith all these new devices and form factors

[shoelace510]

Great review! Thank you so much...

For a while I was so disappointed Verizon didn't get a version of the TD2 but now I think I like this phone even better! :D

[thepolack18]

that is one of the best reviews i saw of this phone! and i don't usually say that

[nickistheman12345]

Is that a resistive touch screen? or capacitive?

[MobileTechReview]

Resistive.

[nickistheman12345]

Wow that sucks. Just for that I'm not buying it.

[mynier]

I hate being stuck with the diamond...

[pudwhap]

this is more like a review of v cast and wim mo marketplace. i wish she would have talked about the actual phone more.

[MobileTechReview]

We have a full written review of the phone on mobiletechreview web site that covers all aspects of the phone. Please feel free to check it out. Thanks.

[loseverette]

You Rock Lisa!! anyway of finding out if Sprint will get this? The Hero was supposedly exclusive but today announced that and showed a version for Verizon. I so hope Sprint gets this!! I love the Hero and android but i want a full touch screen with a 3.6 screen!!

[clubtc05]

3.5 headphone jack built in...I wish att got this phone instead of the pure.

[DigitalDestined]

Awesome review...as always! 5 stars

[WestCoastKane]

nice review lisa

[DarkMerchant2222]

great! review
