Pure: "Gravity sensor"?

Hmm, I've never heard of a "gravity sensor"? I've heard of proximety sensors, light sensors, but never a gravity sensor. So I wonder how that works, if you drop the phone, does it sense that it's falling and maybe shuts the phone off or something, heck, I don't know.

when traveling through space it can detect gravity wells and warn it's user beforehand.

Oh, so does HTC think a lot of astronauts are going to be owning the HTC Pure?

And what the heck is a "gravity well"?

FYI: "gravity sensor" (G senor), like the iphone has, allows for automatic rendering of the screen when going from portrait to landscape and visa virsa (without manually changing screen settings).

The "Tilt 2" IS the TOUCH PRO 2 - NOW, all major carriers have it - sweet phone - even though it weighs 1.6 oz more than the 3GS!

How you describe a gravity sensor sounds the same as an accelerometer. Isn't that what it's called in the Iphone?

You may, very well, be correct. I just got the TP2 (Sprint) and that is what it is listed as, a "G Sensor". In the settings it lists: "Auto rotate" and "calibrate" (shows two bubble levels - one setting horizontal and one vertical).

Figure this; Apple listing their sensor as an "accelerometer" doesn't make much sense either. It doesn't allow anything to "accelerate" (or does it?).

Both are simply different marketing names for achieving the same results, in my opinion.

Yeah, it's just a matter of terminology.

Good point abou the accelerometor not accelerating, lol!!!

Your lucky Sprint`s TP2 has a frinkin headphone jack!

Headphone jacks seem to be to HTC what 3G is to RIM!
Very, very slow to market, and a very important feature that they`ll never be forgiven for omitting!!!

I only thought about that point while I was replying.

I was surprised to see the jack in the videos.

I LOVE this phone! I've always bought HTC devices. I also have ALWAYS ticked off my wife every two years (upgrade).

(Anyone looking for the original HTC Touch w/ WM 6.5? 😉 )

"Headphone jacks seem to be to HTC what 3G is to RIM"

That is so funny about the RIM comment. Why can't they ever make the "perfect" phone? Something is always lacking, like the 3G or camera, etc.
