As partner of HTC CO2 already often gave a convincing conception. Because usually was the network user from Munich before the large competitor from Bonn and Duesseldorf with new HTC devices on the market. Sometimes it took interesting devices also exclusively in the offer, this however always under the own fire CO2 Xda.

That is valid also for the Xda Guide, which in Austria and Switzerland with other navigation application and easily different software configuration is offered also as HTC Touch Cruise.

The CO2 Xda Guide integrates mobile phone with mobile Internet, Multimedia applications, elementary Office functions and a navigation system in equipment for 479 euros without contract. The fact that thereby compromises are not missing understands itself automatically.

Like a bar of chocolate

At the expense the functional integration in any case hardly goes to the size: 와 함께 102 x the Xda Guide belongs to 53 millimeters of surface area with 15 millimeters of overall height to the more compact, but too to flat representatives of its art. also the weight hardly cause does not give to the criticism, 그 106 gram loads the bag no longer than one bar of chocolate inclusive packing.

The small housing was naturally reached by the renouncement on a physical keyboard. Thus the Guide for users, who need it Smartphone primarily for active written communication, is not the first choice.

For writing of emails, SMS or other texts the most diverse forms of virtual keyboards and handwriting recognitions are nevertheless available. The many possibilities can confuse the beginner, but with the selection Qwerty Keyboard and stylus supporters come exactly the same to the course such as T9-Specialists, which tap gladly with the finger directly on the Touchscreen.

HTC Touch surface and 5-Ways-Navi button

Straight one during the finger operation profits the Guide of the HTC Touch surface. On a great many functions one with 5-Ways-Navigation button and finger have access, the pin on the Touchscreen can in its mounting plate remain frequent.

For this the Icon border inserted at the lower part of the screen contributes, which grants access on more than one dozen of categories. For instance the most important contacts and the most frequently necessary programs are freely configurable.

With so much praise the Guide in addition, criticism must leave themselves fallen: On the right of and beside the 5-Ways-Button, which still possesses to it a turning function, buttons of kind of snapping for the navigation system and for Footprints sit left above of google.

With other PDA hair dryer here usually two soft keys and additionally under it often still Home and OK sit respectively back button. And these often needed buttons missed the testers already.

Hardware and software

Little cause to the criticism gives the hardware. 잘, the display could be more highly dissolved. But for navigation, where fast overview is in demand on a view, it is always enough. However the loudspeaker in louder cars could have some more power.

The GPS receiver carries out in interaction with A-GPS good services, even for pedestrians can with the new Xda comparatively well orient itself - a judgement, which does not apply at all to each navigation system.

The TomTom-Navigator-7-Software provided was found in the connect 시험 for good, a window pane retainer, a cigarette lighter electric cable and a 1-GB-MicroSD-Card with map material of Germany, Austria and Switzerland rounds the equipment off.

For language quality and more still the radio characteristics of the HSDPA equipment are appropriate on high level. The Touch Cruise up to 7,2 Mbit/s supports the fast data download, as far as the net gives this. Besides he understands himself also on WLAN and Bluetooth. At memory 512 MT ROM are available, by which about 400 MT are freely available.

The software equipment exceeds even the level with mobile Office applications and Outlook functions, used of Windows Mobile. Like that also a pdf reader of Adobe and the Opera mobile browser are installed beside the Footprints already mentioned of google. Boredom on journeys is with the CO2 Xda Guide thus no more topic.

How stably Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 작품, words can hardly describe. To the display joints here about - the weak point number one with notebooks - one thinks capable of to be able to hold also a room door.

The display cover is torsionally stiffer than with many other mobile computers the housing. Each logic element works here low-friction and engages fullly, keyboard and TRACK PAD leaves a perfect impression.

Who has to here still doubts that Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 still holds on also if even solid notebook went by long, which should examine the connections more exactly. Everyone sits under a fat cover, which is sealed by lips.

Most flaps are besides lockable. In short whether one would like to bloggen as mountain climbers with extreme variations in temperature travel notes, when world sailor keep the contact to the homeland or as vehicle tester also under extreme conditions a notebook to noting the impressions need - the CF-30 is the solution.

3.8 kilograms heavily and 70 millimeters highly

Whereby the building method indestructible under normal conditions carries the natural disadvantage of most solid solutions in itself: The CF-30 is many heavier and larger than other 13,3-Zoll notebook. We talk here of 3,8 kilograms and scarcely 70 millimeters of height - with a notebook without optical drive assembly mind you.

Costs many points such a thing with the connect test notebook. But with normal yardsticks the CF-30 is not to be seized anyway. Because also otherwise it offers many extremes, in order to be practically - for instance in the case of the display, which is as bright as average announcements approximately four times and so that remains readable in sunshine.

Or with the perseverance, which exceeded the 10-deferment of payment mark in the test. The price is likewise extreme: 4600 euros are not safe a pasteboard handle, but for humans, who demand everything in their devices, a good investment - constant new purchases come in the long term more expensively.
