Hi All,
I'm seeking the opinion of current Rose owners.
The north american version of the Rose is about to be released in Canada (labelled as HTC S743) It looks to be identical in all respects to the S740 except that the radio is adjusted for north american 3G frequencies.
I'm currently using the S730 and I used to have a VOX until my wife decided that she liked it. When I look at the specs for the S743 and the reviews online, my initial reaction is that I MUST have one. But before I go out and spend that kind of money, my questions for you Rose owners are:
Do you find it more responsive than its predecessors? (Wings, Vox)
Does it fit comfortably in your pocket or would you recommend getting a belt-case?
How is the battery life given moderate use? (~1 hour talking each day, bluetooth always on, Directpush mail enabled during working hours)
If you could change one thing about your Rose, what would it be?
I appreciate any opinions you have to offer.
Thanks,
Canuk

Not sure if i am a good reference, since i am absolutely in love with this device. am still trying to answer your questions:
More responsive? absolutely so. owned a vox before that, and these two devices are worlds apart. both processor power and ram wise (ran out of ram on the vox on several occasions resulting in program crashes when simultaniously running nav software and pocket player for example. never happened with the rose so far, and doubt it ever will. not even gonna start talking about lockups on the vox because of the rather feeble processor.)
Will it fit a pocket? depends on your pocket i suppose. fits fine in mine (i do not wear baggy pants. its not really that large anyways. compared to the vox: same depth, slimmer, but a bit longer.)
battery life moderate use? mine lasts for about 24 hours. not sure if that could be a reference point tho: fairly heavy browsing, 3g and bluetooth and ActiveSync push on 24/7, tons of progs running in the background, a2dp stream for 2-3 hours, sometimes some wifi. itll definately last from morning till sometime around midnight.
if i could change one thing? acquiring my baby ripped quite a big hole into my pocket back then...
hope that helps,

Released in Canada by whom, and where???
I just got one last week. If you like the Vox & Wings then you'll absolutely love the Rose.
This phone is very responsive. The typical annoyance of HTC smartpones like: unresponsive keypad, d-pad that occasionally missed when action key is pressed are gone. The addition of GPS is a big welcome.
Regarding the size, It's a bit longer but narrower, so it felt good on the palm and can be easily slipped into the pocket. I use a landyard and carry it naked.
Regarding battery life: I push my email and let my messanger on all day and the battery can last for the whole day. So the battery is good.
If I could change one thing: I wish it has video call ability like the wings.
Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it and you have helped me make my decision.
Ombre - I share your pain on the cash outlay! Fortunately this would qualify as a legitimate business expense for me so I don't have to shoulder the entire $$ burden myself.
Kardboard - It was supposed to be released on Expansys this Monday, but I've just checked the site and it seems we are going to have to wait for a couple more weeks.
Thanks again!

I'm using HTC S740 for two months now. It is polish language version(I'm from Poland) and there are few things a bit irritating.
First of all, the WM6.1 apps, like Comm Manager, IE, QuickGPS and such, can't be closed other way, than by using task manager. There is an option in Comm Manager labelled "Close" but it doesn't work.
Office, which was installed by HTC, is useless: I can't copy text from any text files. Yesterday I wrote long letter to my friend using Office, I wanted to send it via MMS. I couldn't copy the text, and when I sent her the whole file as attachment to MMS, she got some squares instead of letters.
IE and Opera are terribly slow. Opera is also terribly unstable. I can't login to some sites because even if I select the "log in" button, I can't "click" it. Odd.
CHome Configurator can't edit most of panels on my screen. I can't either add new panels.
And there is also battery cover, which is not holding to the phne well enough, but I think it's only in my phone. Besides, the plastic lens protector is often hard to clean-up and is distorting the photos. It should be made of glass...
And it would be nice to have push-to-talk available as it is rather software-made. The commercial software for PTT can't interface with standard protocol used by my GSM operator, because it uses its own standards and can work only with other phones with proper software installed. And because my friends are using Nokias with native PTT support, I can't communicate with them via PTT...

Maybe you're using Opera 9.5 for the PPC and not the SP one (there's no opera 9.5 for the SP).
Just use Iris Browser, latest versions are very good.

To do Cut/Paste, switch/Kill taks, use Smart Tool Kit, it's free:

About CHome, I can add windows Live, Contacts (several pages) without any problems.
Opera for smartphone is only version 8.5. Use OperaMini, it's really good and free.

This program is great. Thank you.
And yes, I used wrong version of Opera. But for now I'll use Iris...
There are also two programs I wish to recommend for any Rose user:
Mobipocket Reader - for ebooks;
Palringo - for IM.
I used Mobipocket Reader before with Nokia E50(Symbian s60v3) and I must tell you: it's very good piece of freeware.
On the other hand Palringo has limited functionality. It can connect with many IM protocols(unfortunately not with Gadu-Gadu), but it has some functions I like: it can send voice messages and photos to anyone on IM contact list and it works well with Jabber transports. I tried few Jabber clients, but they didn't worked well enough...

I must say, also for me is it a nuisance (and incomprehensible) that you can't select text in Word Mobile to copy/cut/paste it.
Actually it makes Word Mobile a useless app.
So I tried Smarttoolkit, but I have a few major problems when running Smarttoolkit (S740 often slows down / freezes, programs folder is empty) and I can't find the edit function.
So, while it seems to have some nice tools, is seems an unfinished product and the option I installed it for doesn't seem to work (or maybe I'm a bit stupid).
Anyone have another solution to select text in Word Mobile ?

I'm fresh from a nokia e61, here's my take after about a week's worth of use:
Responsiveness is as fast as most smartphones on the market today. Not exactly dumbphone-snappy, but not nearly slow enough to get in your way. The only thing that might bug you is the one-second delay you get when you slide the thing open and shut on anything except the home screen; personally, I didn't mind it that much.
Does it fit comfortably in your pocket or would you recommend getting a belt-case?
Click to expand...

Funny you should ask that…when I first cracked the box open, it had a sticker on the screen that said, I quote, "remove phone from pants pocket before sitting down." Found it kinda ironic, as it's not nearly hefty or bulky enough to actually warrant such a label. To be fair, it's rather hefty compared to most phones, and in fact about as thick as a whiteboard marker. I've found the design hides its bulk quite well (the faceted back cover in fact makes it look slimmer than it is).
Battery life was disappointing, frankly, but as a disclaimer, my previous phone had a ridiculously long-lasting battery for a smartphone. I'm able to pull about a day's worth of usage with auto-checking email every 5 minutes, about 8 texts in and out, 3G on, and light wifi browsing.
Change? I only wish there was some kind of quick-launch panel on the main menu that would let me scroll through and fire up any application I want. Also, kinda ties into the previous point, but a more efficient task-switcher would be welcome. I've noticed the home button doesn't do much else aside from…well…take you home. It would be nice if they mapped a long press of that button to some kind of juiced up task manager.
Another thing that bugs me is the inconsistent function of the "back" button. In some apps it deletes, in other times (like menu navigation) it takes you to the previously viewed menu/app, some other times it serves as a back button from within an application.
As for fortes, I think the best feature would be HTC's homescreen GUI overlay. It's extremely functional and logical, listing clock, calendar, missed calls and alerts, messaging, mail, etc, etc. I've found it to be so functional, in fact, that I hardly ever dive into the (admittedly rather unsightly) underlying WinMo menus. For most information you might need at-a-glance from your mobile, the homescreen certainly delivers.
Just my take. Hope it helps you, or if not, some other forum-lurker or prospective buyer.

Hi ninethreetwo,
Thanks for the input. I definitely prefer to carry the phone in my pocket. I've had some larger phones in the past that were too big for pockets (Blue Angel, Harrier, Palm 700wx) and I just couldn't find a convenient place to put the belt case. I was always catching in on things or crushing it when I got in to the car. One of the reasons for buying a Vox was the compact and "pocket friendly" form factor.

I can relate. My one complaint about many of the smartphone interfaces is that it oftentimes takes too many clicks to get what I want. On the Wings I modificed the HTC interface slightly to include the recent apps gui (like in the default interface) which helped tremendously.
Thanks again for your feedback! I appreciate the time that you and the other contributers to this thread have taken to provide such considered and detailed responses.
Thanks,
Canuk

You can select text in Word Mobile. As Master Yoda would say: "use the [shift] key, Luke". Simply open file, select EDIT, place cursor where you want to start your selection, hold down [shift] and scroll down with D-Pad.
Next, for SmartToolkit work you must install RC8 version. Also in Control Panel>General set "On Homescreen" to be "SmartToolkit Taskbar", and in Control Panel > Hotkeys set [Clipboard] to be your D-Pad button. This way you will be able to use your standard options on Homescreen made by HTC and in the same time use SmartToolkit. And in Control Panel > Gadgets you can create easy-accessed shortcuts and Pop-up Launcher lists with your programs, it's very useful.
It looks like this:

You can use CHome Configurator (grab the CAB from the Excalibur board) to add shorcuts to favorite applications at the home panels (See attached screenshot). It's very easy, here are the steps:
1. Open CHome Configurator
2. Show 'CLinks' and hilight it and press action to customize
3. Then Go to 'Menu/Page/New'
4. Then in the new page, click 'Menu\Template\Application Launcher'
5. Select the application that you want, set the name & icon
6. Repeat the procedure for as many shortcut as you like
7. Once finished, save at exit.
Other alternative is to use quick launcher application like xBar, RightMenu, SmartToolKit or just use a different theme which use rjshorcut plugins. The best place to get S740 themes is here:
http://www.nectun.com/galerie.php?langue=en&id_type_skin=-1&id_type_tel=15
Use this free Theme Changer to compliment the themes that you download:
http://www.ifihadadollarforeverytimesomeonesaidthatiwouldhavemyownwebsite.com/ThemeChanger/
To remapped the home key, you can use software like AEButtonPlus or Hotbutton Plus
Cheers!
Thenext1 and Urgon, thank you for your replies.
I downloaded Vito CopyPaste version 1.3 and installed it.
It does work (e.g. in Mail), however for some reason doesn't in Word Mobile.
Very disappointing
The selection method of shift+D-pad works, so at last I can edit text afterwards.
However copy/cut/paste with ctrl+C/X/V doesn't work in Word Mobile.
This (regular) option however works in other apps (e.g. Mail, SMS, Contacts).
I also installed SmartToolkit RC08 and changed the settings as suggested.
It certainly works now very well and isn't intrusive for the Home screen with HTC sliding panels. It also (for now) doesn't slow down or freeze (like I experienced with RC09).
But, while I can get copy/cut/paste working in other applications, also this doesn't work in Word Mobile.
Is somehow in Word Mobile the possibility of using copy/cut/paste blocked ?
AVE...
It shall work, certainly works for me. You have to hold down the D-pad button for 0,5 seconds to access clipboard menu. It may be also required to restart your phone in order to make it work.
Below you can see my clipboard menu in Word Mobile.
BTW, the whole Office package is useless, because you can't create new documents.

I agree, especially Word mobile is completely useless, even for opening documents created on a PC.
Excel sort-of works when opening documents.
Powerpoint instead is near-perfect.
Well, I tried copy/paste again with SmartToolkit in Word Mobile and now it worked. Must have done something wrong before.
That Word Mobile is a very crippled text editor is certainly true.
But sometimes you really need a text-editor and beggars can't be choosers.
On my reliable iPAQ hx4700 I use Textmaker, almost as powerfull as the Windows version, which is one of the best alternatives for MS Word. The same is true for Planmaker (PPC an Windows versions) as alternative for Excel.
The problem of not being able to create a new document or worksheet in WinMo 6 Standard can be solved easily bij copying an empty .doc and an empty.xls file from your PC to your Smartphone. Use these files and save them as another file afer editing (so you keep the empty files unchanged)
A more elegant solution is the free donew (I believe I saw this tip in one of the threads in this Rose forum, so credits where they are due): it creates 2 extra links in "Office Mobile" to an empty Word and empty Excel file.

Hey DotNetCoder,
It seems to be one v useful app as I fly a lot. I will def give it a try. Any chance to get Luton and London City on the supported airports list?
Nice, thanks DotNetCoder....
....What are your plans for epanding the app to include other UK or indeed worldwide airports? I mainly fly to Cork, my point here is that the app is only useful on one leg of my journey.
Thanks what a useful little app All working fine @ time of testing hoping not to find any bugs
what about the second busiest airport in the UK? Manchester......
US Flights and HD2
Just installed it and tried it briefly, lovely app.
I couldn't seem to find any US flights on it (or is it just me being blind)
Also, I've installed it on the HD2, but can't get the application back after awakening the phone. I have to end task in task manager and re-start it.
Any clues?
really nice app indeed. It would be perfect if it can include some other airport too. Thanks anyway
Great wee app, especially as i have some flying to do in the next little while. Two thoughts, can you give it a pretty icon, i just get the standard white exe icon.
Also another request for additional airports, the two Belfast ones would be really useful for me.
Thanks for the feedback guys and gals.
I originally only intended this for UK BAA airports, as they use the same code.. but after looking at some of the other suggested airports - they shouldn't be too hard to add.
There's lots of places, so I will focus on UK and Ireland international airports, then move onto the US, and then back to Europe.
This project could be quite lengthy - if any other VB.NET coders are reading this and want to help me write HTML parsers that would be v cool. Get in touch via PM if you can (of does anyone know of RSS feeds for this data?).
Before I release any more airports, I'll fix the update code - at the moment it locks out the GUI when refreshing, this will move into the background.
A globe icon has been added, so no nasty white spaces in the next version!

great!! Nice to hear that..looking forward for the next release
Also a provision to select a default airport would be helpful.
Now when I start the app - it always goes to Stansted first and then I have to select Heathrow from the menu.
Overall a really great app! Very helpfull I must say...a must have if you travel
And also if possible a search/filter option - by airline, by flightnumber and by arrival location!

I sorted the problem by installing Duttys Task Manager....Works great now.
I can't see any flights to and from the US, only europe. Are US flights on a different Database?
New update out - your features have been noted, not done much work this week
cool app, found on the open market place, tho only version 1.0, will update to 1.1 later
gatwick and stansted all good,
another vote for london city tho
WOW - great app... adding more airports ?
Is it possible to add London Luton and City airport ?
Also, if possible to add the Terminal information taht would be FANTASTIC !!
Keep on the good work ..
Ravel
Development is temporarily on hold.
I'll be back soon though.
gr8 application congrats m8!!!!!!
could u add John Lennon Airport Liverpool?
thanx a lot again and...walk on...
That'll be on the list. Cheers
Lots of work done on this, but not usable.
I coded in support for FlightStats.com, but it has a bizarre forced redirect to their mobile site, which doesn't have the info I'm looking for.
Background downloading is also in-place (no longer locks up the app during a download) - and you can cancel the download or quit.
Next airports I'm adding support for are Aena (Spanish), as I'm going on holiday there soon
FootballMonitor 0.39
The Bad news:
I have discontinued this piece of software, after moving away from Windows Mobile.
The Good news:
The sourcecode is attached below. It is C#.NET.
I believe the fix for the current version is very simple
I have created a Football (Soccer) Monitoring Service which alerts you when a team is playing and on score updates.
Configurable for teams, and frequency of update. Works with lots of major leagues round the world.
Still early days, but I hope other people will find this useful.
Obviously it requires an internet connection to get it's data, so my advice is not to use if you don't want to get charged!

Hi, Added some, I will add more when I've captured them.
Been trying out this app for a few days and it is working very nicely. Very prompt updates for live games.
My only criticisms would be :
Interface looks dated (but appreciate that the app is at an early stage of development). Maybe use the Manila SDK to improve visuals?
Performance of phones suffers slightly when serivce is running. Not unbareable but scrolling in HTC Sense is slightly jerky.
Would be good to be able to choose specific Leagues/Competitions rather than just teams.
Populating the list of teams you wish to follow can take a bit of time scrolling through the list of available teams.
An error message appears when clicking on the '>' button on the results page (will post up the full message when I get home this evening)
PS. I'm running the app on an HTC HD2.

Been trying out this app for a few days and it is working very nicely. Very prompt updates for live games.
My only criticisms would be :
Interface looks dated (but appreciate that the app is at an early stage of development). Maybe use the Manila SDK to improve visuals?

Thanks for your information, have you tried version 0.2, the error message should be fixed?
I will look at the leagues/competitions idea.
I haven't seen the Manila SDK, I will look into it. My priority was getting it working first, then looking nice later. I was thinking of looking at this very soon.

Yeah mate, just upgraded to v0.2 and the error message thing is solved. Cheers.
Thats cool about the interface - I figured you were going for functionality over form at the moment since it is early in development.
I've got a few ideas for the interface that would basically utilise drop-down menus for selecting Competitions/Teams. I'll quickly draft something up in Photoshop at the weekend if your interested?

I'm a football fan and i just love to see software released to help us keep track of our favorite teams!
To every one that loves football i also recomend "Team Stats".
Cheers!
I have had this a few days! Great app.
But I select lower league teams, Swindon and I didnt get any updates of the score, although I was glad as they lost.
I have Liverpool and Everton and they both worked.
So not sure why the lower leagues arent working.

Sorry about that Keith, tell you what, next time they play can you change the log-level to 2 and, if you have the same problem, can you send me the log file from inside the directory?
I presume you're talking about Tuesdays match?

Cheers, I will set it to two and post if pm you if it doesnt work. Still a great app though! Yeah it was the Tuesday.
This is great application. Just it's made for UK time zone.
I'm living in central Europe, and all times are shift by 1 hour.
Because of this, live notifications doesn't work.
When app. is waking up at shifted time, it's give me a message "No match today" (or something like that).
Could you please make it "Timezone independent"? Just read the zone from system and shift all match times.
Thanx
Anyway, good work.
One to keep an eye on.
Which Leageus are covered?

Strange, I thought I made it so it already did this, it takes the time, and converts to local time. Can you check in the log file, there will probably be a line saying something like "SLEEP", then a time. Can you check whether the time for a local match you know starts at a certain time, is incorrect?
Anyone else seeing this problem?

So fairly comprehensive! Tomorrow's list will be huge!
A few questions:
Can the score update be disabled? Due to being 8-9 timezones away, when the games are playing I'm working. I set my DVR to record and watch when I get home.
Can the app notify of upcoming matches up to 2-3 days in advance?
And the above mentioned time zone dependent... It would be great!!!
Thanks!

It looks promising. I have got the message about them playing today! well Saturday, which I suppose is today.....
I did add a couple more teams, I then turned my phone off then on and got another messages saying all the teams selected are playing today, so maybe it needs a restart to make it work?

1) The score update can be disabled, which would only give you the result when the match has finished. Otherwise, what would be the point in actually running the app, to know when the next match is?
2) Currently, no it cannot notify of matches that far in advance. The information it gets to build this data does not have more than 1 day.
3) Yeah, the time zone thing should be fixed now in version 0.21

Ah, yes, the service needs a restart after you've added more teams, I have made a note to prompt on add.
Great app! wish it worked on my Touch Pro, but when I click on configure -> choose teams, program hangs and pocketpc becomes very slow... any ideas?
no Scottish Premier League? Go Celtic!

Thank you.
somthing to do on the train.
Would it be possible to move all three tiles in a row at once, as can be done with the real life game? Moving them one at a time takes longer and adds to the number of moves.

This sounds interesting. I will give it a try and report back.
sounds really interesting.
I've tried it on my i900. Here are the results
- connexion to internet for add and banner (ok, it doesn't disturb me). May be you should inform the users about that.
- I was blocked at the first screen, with the texte to donate. The continue button was grayed. I've waited for several minutes, clicked on the black screen... which will not disapear. Finaly I click on the link at the bottom of the banner (at the end the page of free-ocr.net) and then the continue button comes black and I can go on. So maybe you have to inform users what they have to do to be able to continue (wait or click,...).
- taking picture works well. Loading picture works as well. As I've found, the taken picture was saved on the software install directory, named img.jpg. And if I want to use another option I have to rechoose the jpg one... but if I will not have my PC connected I will not have found the place of the picture. May be you can inform, on the warning/info popup message that, if a img.jpg file exists, that this can be used, or where the picture can be found.
- question : does the img.jpg file be deleted ?
- with french texts on picture, the OCR gives nothing as hieroglyphs.
Else, a really great application which ask to be magnified !
keep up this good job
what is alternative that don't require data connection?
this one mention here need data connection.
thx you.

Study material for Mossad Academy in Hertzlyia Pituach
Should we trust this program?
And send scanned our private documents as exercise material for Mossad academy in Hertzlyia Pituach?
I was there (lived in Hertzlyia Pituach almost a year in 1987-1988)
However, due to nowadays international situation, I personally should not trust this program.
Why sending SOMEWHERE my private documents??
Want to make money of your program, make it save locally (on device!).
With regards,

No funciona en mi G1. Lastima. Gracias de todos modos por el aporte.
Saludos
thanks for the software.

How am I supposed to install a cab file on android?
my thoughts
- should warn that it loads a website, the processing is not done on the device
- should warn that the images are transferred elsewhere and not only stored on the device
additionally I use a HD2 running duttys (v smooth and fast) yet with this running performance dropped sharply and noticeably
love the concept but not the implementation
Does it support other language?
Is it a multilingual program? I mean, does it support Asian language like Chinese?
It is not working on my blackstone (Rom com3 23152 as per my signature).
Maybe helpful
Sometimes the lower banner in the splash screen shows an server error.
Furthermore clicking on the Capture button it's raised an exception:
TExtRact.exe
NullReferenceException
in TExtRact.Main.captureBtn_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
