Ruth, I've added a few more comments on specific features about the HTC 6800 that I particularly like on my technical blog. You might want to add a link to your personal blog about the non-IT features too. The truth is that there is no fine dividing line between our professional and our personal lives these days, so why not talk about the latter occasionally?

Lose the music or make it very low. Try and record in a smaller space so that there is less voice echo. I viewed the video and I maybe caught 50% of what was said.

Yeah, I tend not to publicize my personal blog a lot but if anyone is interested, you can find it at http://canadianspacedaisy.spaces.live.com and I posted the HTC 6800 review video at http://canadianspacedaisy.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9D9694CA9DECB69!416.entry. Be forewarned - on my personal blog I write about anything I feel like writing about and most often it's about things I find amusing or interesting, like the amount of metallic toxins in my makeup or baby birds hatching in a nest by my front door. Of course there is also tech talk...after all I do love my shiney toys and cool software!

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the feedback! For a more detailed text review, you can go to Don's blog posting at http://bringingclosure.blogspot.com/2007/11/reviewing-htc-6800.html.

As this is the first time doing this, it's a learning experience.

Sorry guys I have to agree with Graham. Excellent video. Music drowned out the vocals. Is there any way to quickly re-edit it without the music about 50% lower?

Music SOUNDED nice, just drowned out the interesting details... Sorry.

And unless I'm very much mistaken (I probably am) that looks an AWFUL lot like a "Certain downtown Toronto Convention Center"... cough cough....

You found us out! Yes, we recorded the video at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre during a break in the SecTor conference.

As for the music, I've asked Majid to see what he can do. If he's able to fix it before he leaves us for his holidays before he goes back to school once again, I'll repost.

Check it out now - I just replaced the video with another version with less soundtrack music.

Ruth and Don

That was WAY Better!

So is that the succesor to the old UT Starcom 6700? I loved that phone (even though I never got a chance to use the phone part... long story).

My boss hated it and looked at me with disdain when I pulled out "My Brick" as he called it.

But I always thought "All this power sitting in my hand"

Does the 6800 still have a Terminal Server client built in as well as wifi like the 6700 did?
