I've just bought a G900 for a very reasonable price and am waiting for it to arrive: Absolon3, what do you think of the G900?

I already own a TyTn 2 and think it is nothing special. My main concerns with the G900 are

1 - that Opera Mobile 9.5 works ok.

2 - that I can install the Touch Diamond keypad.

3 - that I Coreplayer works

4 - that signal strength and battery life are not as poor as some have commented.

Does anyone have any info here before it arrives???

I am sorry to offer this opinion on the Toshiba G900, but it is in all honesty.

The G900 was basically an absolute waste of time. Battery life was no good for more than one day on a full charge and OS stability was non-existent due to numerous freezes where I had to take out the battery to reset it. In addition to the freezes there was also the vibrate problem where one vibration would continue endlessly for minutes until I took out the battery. Screen blackouts were another major problem.

The G900 speaker was not sufficient for playback of adequate sound and produced horrible distortion in upper levels. The only saving grace was the qwerty which provided sizable buttons with a rounded surface that could allow me to use my fingertips instead of my nails for quick, accurate typing. The camera isn't even worth mentioning and video playback onscreen was okay even though the sound suffered. In my opinion, this and the SE P990 are the only phones that I would rate as far below average.

Signal strength was adequate and no different than the other devices I have owned, but call quality was hampered by low volume and occasional static. Toshiba=good laptops, bad smartphones.

I wish you the best of luck and hope that the firmware has at least been updated since I had last owned the device. I guess the G900 just wasn't the device for me after all. Feel free to let me know your findings once you start using it.

Have you thought about looking at the Toshiba G910 model instead?

Heh, abt the pixeled fonts - Start->Settings->System->Scree­n->ClearType->Enable... Bought a Kaiser a week ago, sold the G900. G is no match for a Kaiser.

WOW! Thanks so much for the tip! It works and my TyTN 2 looks MUCH better! I will make an effort to thank you in a future video.

HTC TyTN II disadvantages showed in this video are not a big problem. Comparising TyTN II and G900 OS stability and reaction speed to commands, for me TyTN II is much more better

If they guy had set the zoom as the same on both then he would have seen the same on both on them... Rather than just seeing the Youtube logo... I have got the HTC Tytn 2 and its amazing the GPS is very quick, and the screen is brilliant for watching family guy on the bus! HTC FTW!

I prefer TyTn II because it's faster, more stable, more apps compatible (qvga not wwga) than G900. Toshiba has got awesome screen but too small (3") for WVGA. Toshiba is too slow for this screen... Opera 9.5 doesn't working in landscape and many apps/games doesn't working (also with WVGAfix). My old XDA II was faster than toshiba... :(

I have got toshiba g900 and i'm not HTC fanboy... but HTC is better.

Hi! Well, wich version of firmware was installed, do you know?

All articles about G900 I have read are different: some users report similar problems, some of them tell that's great device, lab reviews are in agreement that it is rather good than bad.

Who is right?:)

I admit the resolution of the Toshiba is a big up on the HTC. Elsewise, its still good old Windows Mobile. Unless they were witty enough to put a 3.5mm headphone jack on it, and maybe TV-out (which i wouldnt know if it did). I see it as just about identical to the HTC.

Still, I love how much of the YouTube page you could see. Thats what the HTC lack defenitively.

Stop making me realise theres better than my HTC :P
