  10. The specs are good. The only feared shortcoming is its 3.5 inch
    screen because it must have big form factor and carry more weight. I hope that HTC will present a slim fashion smartphone with atleast 3.2 mpx and auto focus, 2.5 - 2.8 VGA touchscreen with Touch Flo technology in the near future. This makes me remind of HTC Muse, the already announced but not launched yet. I hope that HTC will dust off the MUSE, put in WM 6 with very advanced camera and launch it in the near future.

    what is the weight of polaris?its 124gm with battery
    can you make a photo with htc 3300 to see if it is bigger?i dont have p3300 at the moment sorry
    does it has the rollerball like the 3300?no its not rallerball the out side ring still the same
    does it has the mouse function just like the 3300? no mouse feature anymore, but the touchflo is much easier to navigate

    Comment by smartmobilegadgets — October 19, 2007 @ 2:34 am

  38. i think it is a dissapointment.
    the p3300 was 120 gm if this one is less than 160 gm then it is heavy.(the 3600 was 150gm and it was heavy for me)
    dimensions are also an other disapointment.looks like the 3600 and kaiser witch are bigger than 3300.
    the luck of rallerball is another -
    and finally tha absence of the mouse function was the worse news i could find out.
    i am seriously thinking to buy the old but really mobile p3300

    Comment by Mike — October 20, 2007 @ 12:53 pm

  56. pitty you have to open device to change SIM.

    There are individuals like me who pay their phone bills (no company behind) so we use cheapest company for voice, cheapest company (usually different) for data, thus having the need to easily swap SIMs until dualSlot phones become widestreeam

    Comment by Navin — October 20, 2007 @ 6:35 pm

  59. So if there is no trackball, but the outside ring will navigate by spinning, is there 4-way navigation built into the outside ring? If you press the ring on the right side, do you move right (left, up, down, as well?)? Yes you can use it as d-pad 4-way aswell

    If not, this is terrible news for gaming on this device, and most other navigational situations.

  66. Quick questions:

    Is the miniUSB of the Touch Cruise USB2.0 or USB1.1?
    Does the scroll-wheel zoom functionality of the device work on anything other than pictures?
    Is the screen surface any harder than other touch screen devices or is it a softer, thin film?

    Thanks.

    Comment by Chuck — October 22, 2007 @ 6:05 pm

  67. Too bad no VGA resolution…when HTC first launched the announcement of their new Fall/Winter line (now Spring ‘08!!) they were touting the VGA resolution in the mock-up. Seems like you can just burn a kitchen of the Windows Mobile 6 ROM onto an older Artemis (P3300) and get TouchFLO-type interface also. Might be a big waste of money. I actually really liked the roller-ball mouse thing on my P3300. HTC seems to be a day late and a dollar short…Eten is on the edge but has build quality issues and buggy ROMs….still they seem to beat HTC to the punch with what users want.

  80. it seems that the HTC polaris is comming to O2 Germany.
    I am not sure, but it seems to me… It is named O2 xda orbit 2. Look here: http://shop2.o2online.de/nw/produkte/handys/allehandys/details/index.html?salesChannel=SHOP&articleId=310&categoryId=1120
    (sorry, German) … google “xda Orbit 2″ for more results…

    Can anyone confirm that this is the Polaris… Strange.. because O2 wants to launch it quite soon… early December…

    Comment by Michael — November 8, 2007 @ 6:31 pm

  81. Hi smartmobilegadgets ,

    Please include screenshot of the FM radio application during your review. Also, funny thing is XDA Orbit 2 does not mention FM radio. I really hope that is not the same with the HTC Polaris / P3650, Dopod version, etc :(

    Comment by Ted — November 9, 2007 @ 2:26 pm

  82. in the o2 specifications (see my link above) the FM radio is mentioned. and certainly it has ;) I think, now, there is no doubt…. orbit 2 = polaris ;)

  92. Hello, thanks for your response about the microSDHC-compatibility! I have another question:
    (I am from Germany and my english isn’t perfect, so i hope you understand my question)

    Is the area under the display a touchpad? I have terrible experiences with such “touch pads” for example from my SAMSUNG E900. Always when i touch (it’s more strike over than touch) this area by mistake “i fly out of the menu” i don’t know, if you understand what i mean..
    For short: Can the red symbol (hang up symbol) easily touched by mistake or is there a smart solution from HTC to prevent this mistakes? Can you test this for me? Its very helpful for me, because i want to know what i am buying next month ;) I sell my E-900 only because of this **** touchpad!
