T-Mobile Ameo Reviews

CNET reviews the T-Mobile Ameo and writes, "Imaging is above average. The camera has autofocus and comes with a powerful LED light for night portraits. There are a handful of scene modes, metering options and a modest movie mode capable of fun little 352x288-pixel movies. You've also got Bluetooth for sending to compatible inkjet printers."

Pocket-lint reviews the T-Mobile HTC Ameo and writes, "First impressions of the camera are disappointing, certainly compared to Sony Ericsson's Cyber-shot range or a regular stand-alone digital camera and there was a delay in taking the picture and the image that you actually captured, however we love the interface, which is displayed on that bright 5-inch screen. ... The Ameo still disappointingly runs Windows Mobile 5 rather than 6, but this shouldn't put you off all together, and although T-Mobile hasn't set a date, it has confirmed to Pocket-lint that customers will get a free upgrade to version 6 when it happens."

ITReviews reviews the T-Mobile Ameo and writes, "The Ameo is a Windows Mobile Pocket PC, with plenty of features crammed in including GPS, 3G support and Wi-Fi. Its huge screen measures five inches from corner to corner, and while you can hold it to your ear to make voice calls it is rather large for this. Its real forté is video calls, as it can show both you and the caller in large on-screen windows. ... we aren't sure it is a serious replacement for a mobile phone ... "

PCPro reviews the T-Mobile Ameo and writes, "One of the innovations on offer is a combined screen cover and keyboard, attaching to the main body with incredibly strong magnets - so strong, in fact, there's a warning in the manual to keep them away from credit cards and other magnetic media. The keyboard is best described as "adequate" - you can type on it, but it isn't the most pleasant experience."

Vnunet reviews the T-Mobile Ameo and writes, "Remove the keyboard and it is used like a tablet PC - it automatically scrolls down the screen as it is tipped one way, and up as you twist it the other. And because there’s a good 3-megapixel camera, there’s a dedicated button for that as well. Smartphones traditionally have poor cameras, so you can see why this machine’s hard to categorise."
