Qtek 9100 is just one of the items from the HTC Wizard system. HTC (Advanced Computer) is a Taiwanese supplier, while Wizard is the code word of the system. This labeling makes good sense as the discussed Taiwanese firm typically offers its items to mobile drivers and also various other firms, which identify them subsequently. To put it simply, identical item shows up on the marketplace under various firm logo designs and also the circumstance appears to begin to draw out of control. Right here is the listing of a few of the brand names, under which the HTC items are marketed: Qtek, i-mate, O2, Orange, T-Mobile, Dopod, Krome … .

Looks like an Illusionist • however it is a Wizard • back side .

The Qtek tag comes closest to the beginning for it is a signed up tag of the Taiwanese supplier. If you face names like MDA Vario, I-mate K-Jam or O2 XDA Mini, you can be certain that they all are almost the same to Qtek. The distinctions amongst them typically relax in the added software program tools and also the contingent small adjustments of the firmware. Simply to reveal you that it is not all so basic, I will just discuss the truth that HTC uses its Wizard to its companions in 3 equipment variations. .

Qtek 9100 is a communicator, which generally indicates a pocket computer system with included telephone call application. It is based upon the current variation of the Windows Mobile 5.0 OS and also includes a gliding QWERTY key-board. .

Do not look abeam

When shut, Qtek will certainly initially advise you of HTC Illusionist (MDA Compact, Qtek S100, i-mate JAM, …). It has almost the very same measurements – 109 × 58 mm. Nearly the whole front location is inhabited by a huge display screen and also a couple of switches. What shocks is the density of the tool. It has actually been encompassed 24 mm (contrasted to Illusionist, which is just 18 mm), due generally to the keypad, which glides out. It is additionally a little much heavier – 160 g, however such a weight is rather typical for a communicator. Qtek 9100 fits well in the hand as all its sides are flawlessly rounded. .

Size contrast: in hand • with Nokia N70 • with MDA Compact • on MDA Compact .

To my point of view, the style is satisfying. It is additionally much less speculative than the among the Illusionist design. As an example, I discover the grid on the back side and also the ellipses around the electronic camera lens a little bit overcombined. Yet, the front side of the phone looks really eye-catching, also if conventional. HTC has actually made the covers of plastics, which is an action in reverse in contrast to MDA Compact, whose building was steel. However, the building of the brand-new communicator is strong sufficient. .

Well, it is not specifically attractive … .

Keypad: beneficial and also brilliant

Let us currently take a closer take a look at one of the most cutting-edge component of the tool: the gliding keypad. The simplest means to reach the keypad is to transform the communicator counter-clockwise and also thumb-push the display screen upwards. This keypad comprises 1/3 of the density of the tool. At the very same time the image on the display screen will certainly transform also. When opened up Qtek appears like the Partner tool, which is preferred generally in the United States. .

Keypad is great .

There is no springtime to assist you open up the keypad. The display screen is installed in 2 grooves and also requires to be raised by hand. At doing so, you will certainly below a completely dry rubbing audio. At the end of the grooves the display screen is captured by interlocks, whose building is not really strong. As a matter of fact, I do not attempt approximate exactly how the keypad gliding system is mosting likely to function after a specific duration of regular use. On all accounts, every little thing that relocates bears prospective threats … .

Sliding system information .

The keypad contains 4 lines of silver oblong tricks. The spacer situated in the center of the lower line inhabits a location of 2 common tricks. In the top component you will certainly discover 2 added context tricks, which begin and also manage the features presently shown in the state bar. Individuals with larger fingers might discover collaborate with these tricks a bit bothersome as the last are located a lot also near to the display screen. .

Keys are strong and also huge sufficient .

Obviously, a keypad with 41 tricks, which does not have a different number line, is not really comfy for all type of procedures. Next to the common change feature for uppercase, you can additionally make use of heaven dot feature trick. By pushing the last you begin to create either personalities placed on a 2nd location, or numbers. The flag essential opens up the Beginning food selection; the alright switch verifies the existing option. Right here you will certainly additionally discover a typical Go into essential, an erase essential and also arrow tricks.
