| 1223047 | 2011-08-14 02:05:00 | They look a better phone than Nokia but Nokia has voice guidance for free. But HTC's $4US per 30 days is affordable. In NZ I have a Navman. If you are typing and need accuracy like street addresses or foreign words, how accurate are keyboard vs virtual keyboards? Your views between the Desire HD Z (with keyb) vs Desire HD. The Z is 3.7" screen with keyb and is cheaper. The other has a 4.3" screen without keyb. With HTC Locations do you know what routing do you get? Is it just a summary text screens of the turns and stuff? Are those text prompts real time? Do you get a journey line that you can follow? Or do you need the premium service? |

| 1223048 | 2011-08-14 03:56:00 | Don't worry about routing got that sorted but do anyone know if the premium service. Is the 30 day voice guidance deal to be each for each map or can I use any map in that time period? | Nomad (952) | ||

Then again, what OS has a perfect virtual keyboard? :rolleyes: Accuracy is pretty good, if you're talking pressing the right key, as long as the screen size is large enough (say 3.2in or greater). 2. I haven't tried the Desire HD Z (though I want to), but the screen size of the Desire HD makes accurate typing easy to achieve (wider key placement, larger keys). 3. I thought that HTC introduced turn by turn with Android 2.3? GPS is not my area of expertise. |
