I just found a blog with an initial impression from someone who has managed to get his hands on a HTC Universal device.

I guess most of it is as I might have expected but its interesting that he notes how BIG it is!

so far, I have found the old AvantGo client that integrates with pocket internet explorer will no longer installs as it doesn't recognise the new ActiveSync version 4 and so exits with an error saying that it needs Activesync to be installed in order to use AvantGo. I have got around this for now by installing the full AvantGo client but that needs to be sync'd separately from activesync so I'm not so happy about that. Also that full client seems to offer dialogue boxes for some settings which don't fit on screen and there is no way to scroll the window so I guess an update is required for either of these at some time.

I read before buying that the camera was still 1.3 megapixel like that which was in my JAM and I'm afraid to say that the quality is just as poor. Big dissapointment there I guess. I've tried the video calling camera but not in a call but thats a much less resolution anyway.

The screen is excellent, but then so was the JAM so I didn't expect anything less and betaplayer (or whatever they call it now) plays my videos from my SD card as good as it ever did on the JAM

The keypad is very, very usable but I was surprised to find that when I enter phone mode it will acceopt me pressing the numeric buttons at the top of the keyboard but won't accept me pressing the alpha characters to enter a contacts name though I can click the digits on the on-screen dialling buttons in order to enter a contact name. To enter a contact name I must first click the contacts soft key and then I can use the keyboard.

The wifi was easy to set up with my home network including wep etc. Indeed its much like you setup on a pc or on the separate Sandisk wifi SD card I used in the JAM

still loading my software such as microsoft voice and pocket streets etc and trying out all the features so will report back with more at a later time

in the meantime if there are questions please feel free to ask

the latest is that my registered worldmate 5.1 doesn't work on Windows Mobile 5, it just exits immediately with no message, and there doesn't appear to be an update for it... hmmm...
