This blog is deadicated to Pocket PC's, I currently have the (HTC) Apache through Telecom (NZ). I up-graded from the (HTC) Harrier.

The specs of the Apache are (See top photo):
  • Windows 5.0
  • 64MB RAM
  • 128MB ROM
  • 1.3 Mega Pixel Camera
  • Bluetooth
  • Wifi


Compaired to the Harrier

  • Windows 2003 Second Edtion (Phone Edition)
  • 128 MB RAM
  • 0.30 Mega Pixel Camera
  • Bluetooth
At first I thought I was getting ripped off with the memroy as you can see the Harrier has 128MB RAM v's 64MB RAM on the Apache, I asked the local Telecom Sales Person and he couldn't tell me why the decrease in memory. I left the store and when I returned home had a look on the internet, now where to start?

I went straight to the Sprint website and found the answer! Microsoft has bought out the new mobile window's OS (Windows Mobile 5.0) with this new OS it uses a brand new memory system instead of using RAM to store and run programs it uses ROM flash storage with 64MB of RAM to run the programes couple this with a 1GB Mini-SD card the Apache is smaller and faster than the Harrier, also the slide out keyboard on the Apache is excellent.
