So I got home today and there was a box sitting on my doorstep. I usually know when I'm expecting something, so I thought it was something for my wife, until I see that it was mailed to me...
Looked at the return address, and it was from HTC Bellevue.
I was thinking to myself, I didn't order anything, nor did I expect anything to be coming to me...
This is what I got...
so...wait. wut?
why? Did you buy a car kit or something. I don't get it. But hey, free ish is always awesome.
Nice congrats!
What all is there?
I see a car charger with an extra USB cable and a portable speaker?
I'm confused

I didn't buy anything. I didn't even know something was coming to me. I emailed the guy who's card was on it when I got it to see what it was for. But it's free, I'm not going to complain.

It's a portable Bluetooth speakerphone. I've never seen them, nor have I even heard of them, but it's pretty cool.

Dude thats Awesome. Good for you. But do you have an affiliation with HTC or something? It seems odd thatr it would just show up at your doorstep LOL. Either way, thats cool man
Pretty neat. Could you give us the model number of what you got? I've never seen that device before.
Well you gave your address to HTC at some point so whenever that was is directly related to why you got this...cool $60 gift though....car speakerphone for those that don't have in car Bluetooth...
For those that havent seen this before just google HTC Car Mic...

The only affiliation that I can think of is that I'm a member of HTC Elevate. I know I've given them information there before, so maybe something through that?

HTC done you well. How's the Bluetooth speaker? Something like that could come on handy.
Sent from my EVO
does your luck extend to celebrities?
is the sound quality loud enough for a 20ftx40ft room?
Haven't really tested it yet. Passed out early last night, didn't get any calls this morning on my commute to work.
That's a slick device and you can't beat the price. I've been using a Motorola T505 for a year or so now and it works very well. It also allows you to stream music to your car stereo via a bluetooth-to-FM feature. The sound quality isn't perfect, but it's an easy, wireless solution that is simple to configure.
Amazon link for reference.

Good for you. Now I'm jealous. I want one too.
Now I'm curious does anyone else have any recommendations for Bluetooth car kits?

mine was the same way. i did a test with myself and noticed that sometimes the mic wouldn't pick up until my second word. then it would work fine, the go back to crap. my wife would always have to have me repeat what i said multiple times.

And it's people with responses like this that make this forum suck.
If you have no suggestion to help OP with sound quality....get the hell out of the thread.
OP....there is a setting in call setting (I believe) for hard of hearing that ups the volume significantly although I don't know if it reduces muffling at the other end.
Try hard resetting of not. Then definitely keep demanding another one til it works.

For the sensation battery, should it go in as easy as the OEM one does? I got hold of one for the sensation and it fits but I have to push pretty hard. And to get it out I need to pry it out with something.
The phone does work on the battery, but its a really tight fit.
Hi all. I currently have an HTC EVO 4G but it is starting to give out on me. Things like the wake/sleep button is slowly descending into the phone and the charging jack not working correctly. Anyway I was wondering if anyone was selling their EVO 3D I figure might as well buy the 3D and move on from the 4G. Thank you
3D pics are amazing for showing relation.
Fantastic idea.
I, myself, am not selling but there are many sites that have it for a cool $50 with a contract, new or upgrade.
Three sentence review: My evo3d is super fast, no lag or stuttering like with the one android device people think is the end all.
I say do it! I went from the nexus s 4g to the 3d(evo4g before nexus) and im never disappointed with the performance.
why dont u look in the marketplace??? thats where u will find people selling phones..

Works great for typing/reading when driving. Thumb keyboard would work great too. Just watch out if you plug in a charger or line out! Keep the cords in front or they get tangled.

I was shaking my head until I read... "I live in So. Cali" Then it all made sense (even the part about the Prius paying for itself).
yea we Californians are idiots.
Skipped the whole part about driving with it on the steering wheel. Happens at work, just skimming through most posts not reading the entire thing. :what:

I agree, you may save money at the pump, but I wouldn't want to pay for a battery replacement on one. And to think that the battery makes them just as harmful if not more to the environment. Some people are just mpg crazy.

Good thing you don't have to pay for a battery replacement anymore (unless you get in a wreck), and they can be recycled. Though I do agree once every car runs on batteries it could start to be very harmful to the environment.

In the box was the cradle charger, quick start, and manual.
Ill be honest battery life has been terrible today. 100% charge at 7am and now at 240 im down to 19%. This could be because some things are on that shouldnt be because i dont have sprint service to it. So probably user error haha.
I dinked around with the GPS for a few. Ill still to my phone.
Havent tried. Ill let ya know.
Call quality when tethered to my phone is awesome. Sounds great. Kinda feel like **** Tracey lol.
Not a ton of app at the moment because its tinzen.
That was a notification for messenger. It can be turned off / on under gear settings.
Music is loud enough for the watch. I wouldnt use it on a daily as your main source of music though.
