I have a nice shiny HTC S730 phone. It sucks. For many reasons. The first of which is my own fault. I really wanted it to have GPS built in. The pre-production models sent out for review had GPS, you can see links to it working here:

Even though everyone knew it wasn’t going to be supported we all hoped that as it was there on the pre-prod then we would have GPS glory on our phones too…
WE WERE WRONG
It seems like HTC in their wisdom decided to disable or cripple the on board GPS, the software can see it but can’t use it. Oh well, I accept that the HTC specs didn’t have it in so I was just hoping
Unfortunately HTC also decided to include a woefully small amount of memory. Many people have been seeing issues with memory running out all the time, with only 17mb available even after reboot of the device. Obviously this is just rubbish and hopefully will be fixed soon by HTC.
until then if you are thinking of buying one…. DONT, stick with the S710 or something, which is a cool phone and has enough memory to not have to reboot it every few hours….
