HTC Press Release HTC Touch Cruise / Polaris
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LONDON — November 12 2007 — HTC Corp. (TAIEX: 2498; “HTC”), the world’s leading provider of Microsoft Windows Mobile® smart devices, today launched the HTC Touch Cruise™, the third member of the HTC Touch product family and the first to feature in-built GPS for personal navigation. Building on the popularity of the HTC Touch™ and the HTC Touch Dual™, the HTC Touch Cruise also includes 3G-HSDPA wireless connectivity.
Users on the move will easily be able to interact with the HTC Touch Cruise’s navigation functionality and can take advantage of HTC’s TouchFLO technology, which enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages and contact lists, controlled by simply sweeping a finger across the screen. TouchFLO also offers the ability to view photos and photo slideshows using on-screen controls and to zoom and rotate images with only one hand.
Stylish and sleek in design, the HTC Touch Cruise is a further illustration of HTC’s commitment to innovation and to building a suite of touchscreen devices that cater to a variety of customer needs and styles. The HTC Home screen will provide one-touch access to emails, text messages, calendar appointments and contacts, as well as current weather conditions and forecasts for hundreds of cities around the world. Users then simply sweep their finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface comprising three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. The interface can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display, providing efficient access to the features consumers use most.
The new Touch Cruise boasts super fast HSDPA/3.5G connectivity plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it a highly connected device for consumers on the move. Its 2.8” screen is great for enjoying mobile multimedia and because it runs on Windows Mobile 6, the built-in Windows Media Player is ideal for music and movies.
Florian Seiche, VP of HTC Europe, commented, “The original HTC Touch has already been a phenomenal success, and the HTC Touch Cruise™ with fully integrated GPS adds another dimension to our leading touchscreen device family. We firmly believe in the importance of choice – one device does not fit everyone’s needs – and we’re proud to have been able to launch three HTC Touch devices since June.”
The HTC Touch Cruise utilizes mapping and navigation solutions from TomTom. This navigation software comes complete with a taster city map or the option of full maps of Western Europe. Other key features include a three megapixel auto focus camera, FM radio and Micro SD memory card slot for adding to the 128MB RAM. The device will be available form both retailers and SIM free from HTC from this month.
Launched in June 2007, the HTC Touch was the first member of the HTC Touch family and has proven to be a massive hit since it launched. The HTC Touch Dual, which features HSDPA connectivity and a sliding keypad, was launched in October 2007.

Oooooooo! Don't know about that!
I might just have to get onto this one. Orbit with attitude!
sdhc sounds cool and access to the storage card is nice.
but everything else isn't that impressive to me.
think faster cpu will decrease batterylife, don't you think guys ?....
no fm radio anymore ?
I will find out, rumors of RDS at HTC Press will find out from O2 development
Yeah Polaris is there ! Woooo !
Any information about his price ??
A-GPS is almost worthless for navigation
Ooops, Sorry that was stupid
I thought that the Polaris was supposed to have a VGA screen! Some nice improved bits, but nothing to major enough to worth trading my Artemis in.
Looks bigger! Any info on the size of this device, is it bigger then the artemis?

About same size as kaiser
Damn wheel
Overall, yes please!!! It is a huge improvement in connectivity, storage and processing power. Two issues though:
It appears that the one thing that I hate on the Orbit is still there: the wheel! Why, o why don't they get rid of this useless gimmick and put direction buttons instead?
It looks like that one of the things I like most in its current form is missing: the trackball.
Does the insider know more about these issues?

Hi!
Well, it looks like you got both. Take a look at post 7 in the original thread http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=10074368
Original thread over on the PPC forum says it is BOTH directional dpad and rotating wheel.

Thanks PK,
I do hope that the "leaked" images of the O2 version are not 100% accurate and we do get more buttons. Buying the subsidised O2 product instead of the generic HTC makes the difference between paying £30 or £400 ( 45 € or 600 € )
What happened to the VGA screen? The early rumors all indicated that this was going to be VGA. How are they going to compete with the E-tens?
Dear Santa (get in early)
Slightly shorter than the orbit, double the storage, double the ram, at least twice as fast a processor, and a really nice flush screen like the touch, oh and better camera and 3g, who said not much of an improvement, looks awesome to me. I think it will be a choice of vogue or polaris for me this xmas, the extra hardware buttons on the polaris could just swing it, but the vogue is a bit smaller hmm...

Well I like the HTC manufactured sony ericsson xperia X1 but I really LOVE THE SAMSUNG I900 OMNIA!!!!!
Is it possible to port android to any windows mobile device with these specs???:
Network: quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE + HSDPA 7.2Mbps
Wireless: stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), WiFi
Display: 3.2-inch WQVGA (240×400 pixels) touchscreen
Camera: 5 megapixels with auto-focus, featuring face and smile detection as well as auto-panorama shots
OS/UI: Windows Mobile 6.1 with Samsung's widget-friendly TouchWiz user interface running on top of it

Two models will be sold: 8GB and 16GB, that can further be expanded with microSD memory cards
what makes HTC phones different in terms of running android??? isn't samsung in the android alliance with google??
Samsung is also with the LiMo solutions. I agree, the Samsung OMNIA looks real good. I have the SCH-i760 and it is acting up big time and I am not getting my calls from my Doctors or Nurses so it's bad.
WOW !!!
Looking to buy a Samsung Ace/Ace duos (or) any phone in the 10k-18k range, then you cannot look anywhere else after you read this post completely !!!

Great Phone
Great phone specs are tooo good but what is screen resolution of this phone
and thanks for posting this phone
Donno about the hardware quality but this phone is tooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool.
I currently have Dell Streak 5" but MI-500 beats it in all the specs and prices too
I have Spice MI 410, and can say, it has good hardware quality ...... very much satisfied with MI 410 enjoying android over it ....:0
Expecting this too have good harware quality .... will look the future of the same
Never used Spice ever.. let's see. I am sure that your comments would be true for the MI-500 also. I might be switching to MI-500 due to ICS 4 from my Dell Streak 5
Would love see comments from other spice users regarding hardware
OP ... Pls correct the post.. as per the reports .. this one is a Dual Core.

Sandy
Any idea if it has HDMI as well?

Dunno.......it most probably will have because an older phone from spice - mi410 had one....
--------------------
I didn't find the COMPLETE specs anywhere on the web......we'll have to wait for spice to start the sales or gsm arena to post the complete specs!!
Spice Mi-500 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz Dual-Core processor. It is even not clear whether it has a LED flash. Comes with ICS out of the box.
wowee
Seems more likely to have the MSM8225 at this price point.
The Mi-500 is said to have a Snapdragon S4 processor.
It has Cortex A5 dual core and Adreno 203 Graphics processor, which if you go by the numbering system of Qualcom, it will be less powerful then the Adreno 205.
I seriously hope not. I am so looking forward to this mobile.
And the screen resolution is definitely going to be 800x480.
Well lets see upon the release of the product in the market
is it a rebranded chineese
does any one know its oem i guess it is a rebranded chinese phone as always.
I was interested to hear about the dual core CPU on the Mi-500. But there is a lot of repeated articles around the net, most are cut n paste from each other and lacking the same information.
The only say 3G, I have not been able to find what bands it supports. If it is only 2100 then its not much better than the four variants of chinese/korean 5" phones (mtk6575 1Ghz, single core based) around the market (ebay & internet stores). Superior CPU, inferior camera.
Notable points,
No LED flash, No auto focus, a step down in feature from their smaller screened Mi-425
CPU Dual core Snapdragon 1Ghz
GPU 300Mhz
RAM 512 (1g would have been nicer to go with the dual core)
3G? HSPA likely
Dual Sim, guessing this will be a 2G only slot and a 3G/2G slot
It seems this brand is aimed solely at the Indian market, so getting one elsewhere might be difficult (only found one Spice brand ph on ebay as an indication)
I would really like dual sim in a 5" phone, But to suit Australia 3G 850/900/2100 would be best, might have to wait 6 months, or forgo dual sim and go for a galaxy note.
I've never liked the small screens on smartphones, its only the new 5" versions that make me consider changing from carrying an old 2G only phone & laptop.
(i found some of the extra info in a thread titled "First Look Spice Stellar Horizon" -google it)
Found the manufacturers website see (si2imobilityDOTcom), no information posted there, nor could I find information on what 3G bands are supported, I guess the answer is "the Indian ones" Though it does seem likely it is HSPA judging from their other phones

Sorry but what's wrong with
"snapdragon ?? MediaTek ?????"
snapdragon is manufactured by Qualcomm & MT65xx is manufactured by Mediatek...However, Mediatek choose to keep secret for their source code while Qualcomm public part of their source code on-line...
With the source code, developers & ROM cookers at XDA can do wonder with it !
Just stumble upon this video about snapdragon melting butter test...
Hilarious but very true...

I dont think it will be available, but it is only my opinion. Anyway, for me it is not so important, Kitkat or Lollipop, they are almost same, using dalvik or art, working and speed are equal. For me more important to find root for this device

nevermind, based on this page, seems like there is no root for SH-01G yet? Correct me if I'm wrong.

sorry I still cannot post link.
I have this phone as well. They have recently released a new firmware 01.00.07: https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/support/utilization/product_update/list/sh01g/index.html
Is there a way to sideload this as they don't allow OTA update outside Japan.

this root tool for SH-02E SH-04E SH-05E SH-07E SH-09D SHL21 SBM203SH models
I was told that latest TowelRoot V3 can root AQUOS ZETA SH-01G (build number: 01.00.05).
I did not check, because mine is updated: 01.00.07
Who can check? But before running TowelRoot V3, turn on USB debugging mode

galaxyst, can you share on how do you update to 01.00.07 please?
We have got the smartphone Letv One/x600 from Chinese reseller. When i got this white one, i was deeply attracted by this high-end smartphone, as you know, Letv has its main line in producing its TVs, not for smartphones. This time Letv expanded its manufacturing line to produce mobile devices to compete with Xiaomi, Huawei, etc. Letv brings the first high-end smartphone for its customers to shock most of us. And its selling price has broken the industry's rule for most cellphones' manufacturers, meanwhile, it's a big shock for them. Therefore, let's probe into this high-end smartphone with me.

5.5 Inch 1920 * 1080 Pixel FHD Sharp IPS Screen
When it leaked before it was officially announced, the screen to body ratio is much large, and it is said it’s borderless or bezel-less. Letv cellphone has two types, one is 5.5inch, the other is 6.33inch, today i will introduce 5.5inch version for you first. It comes with 5.5inch FHD Sharp IPS screen (1920 x 1080, 403 PPI) display, providing the ultra-clear screen quality when i watch the video, view the photos and so on. Therefore, Letv one can be the best rival of Xiaomi Mi note pro, even iphone 6 plus. It's worthwhile to experience its nice sharp IPS screen, which is more exquisite and superior than the common screen.
MediaTek Helio X10 Octa Core 64Bit 2.2GHz + RAM 3GB ROM 16GB
Letv One or Letv X600 is powered by MediaTek’s Helio X10 (MT6795) 64-bit octa-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz , along with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. Letv one is the first time to use Mediatek chipest, Mediatek Helio X10 MTK6795 processor, which means most rapid playing or running speed for more efficient operation. I test to play 3D games, the overall running speed is so fast and swift. Meanwhile, it has come with RAM 3GB ROM 16GB, personally, RAM 2GB storage is much enough for me, but Letv one has RAM 3GB, which is able to make me download apps or run the programs more fluently. You will not agree more with me.
13.0MP Back Camera 5.0MP Front Camera
Letv One or Letv X600 has dual camera with 13.0MP Back OIS Camera flanked by a dual-LED, dual tone flash, 5.0MP Front Camera located on the front side of this handset. I can easily use 13MP back camera to take photos clearly and fast to memorize every moment in my life and work. Meanwhile, i use the front camera to make face beautification. I like selfie or self-portraits all the time, this time, i really have my own selfie camera instead of bringing the big digital camera when i go traveling. I can take photos well during the strong or weak light. The 1080p video capture amkes it easy to preserve the important moments, which allows you to shoot crisp, detailed images.
3000mAh Battery
I am really satisfied with the battery with 3,000mAh capacity, it can support up to 10 days of standby time. Meanwhile, i don't have to buy a backup, because i can play it all the day without charging under the environment of normal usage. But if i take a vacation outdoors, i will prepare a power bank to charge fast for my smartphone in case of powered-off situation.
EUI OS
It has broken the record to use it own original and pure EUI OS, which can be one of the most advantages of this smartphone. Android 5.0 Lollipop comes pre-installed on this device with Letv's EUI OS on top of Google's operating system. Therefore, Letv one utilizes its latest and best system to provide customers with better experience in OS.
Support 4G LTE, OTG, WIFI, GPS, Bluetooth, Multilanguage, Play Store, IR Remote Control .etc
This is also a dual-SIM device (micro + micro SIM) which offers 4G LTE connectivity as well. Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.0 are also available here. Of course, it can support Multilanguage and google play store, GPS, IR remote control function like other smartphones. 4G LTE Network lets you surf the Web, access social networks, download apps and stream media. GPS function helps you locate unfamiliar destinations. IR remote control function helps me control my TV, air conditioner or other appliance at home more freely and conveniently. Therefore, do you think Letv one is powerful?
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, Letv one can be the best and first smartphone for Letv to grab a lot of market share in terms of its hardware, software, or its design. Most importantly, it costs its users less than other high-end smartphone such as Huawei p8, Xiaomi mi note pro etc. This 5.5inch FHD smartphone has taken its first step and have a good standpoint in smartphone line. I know it is in stock now, hope you can share with me.
Letv one phone 4G LTE can be used in the United States? I finally bought a Letv One Pro phone, I need to wait 5 days to get my package.

Hi

Thanks!
Is it support micro sim
How to access Google Contacts on Letv One
Hi, can anyone suggest how to access Google Contacts on Letv One? There a stock dialer app that asks you to sign in with the Letv account, which is useless in the West so far. Also, I've tried many different Contacts apps, but I can't access my google contacts...

I think you can install the play store and install some contact apps from there. Or install aptoide.

Maybe you need to install Google services or something like that.
I got mine today from tinydeal.
Positives
- Display is great. I had no problem out- or inside. It was sunny today, so I think the display will work just fine.
- notifcation-LED up-left
-I like the mute button. I missed it since my last iphone and it's very soild. I hope I don't play with it too much (ruined on my old 3gs by playing with it)
- you can display the battery status in procentage TinyDeal Rom: its pre-activated
- you will have the full 16 GB for apps and stuff. 10,15 GB are free, sadly thats 2,8 GB less than on my Mi3
- USB OTG is avaible on the LeTV SE1. I already asked sandisk for a USB Stick Sample. Stay tuned!
- USB C – i love it!
- just about 50k Antutu points yeah! Tinydealrom: first run 50.000; second 49.000. Devices get warm doing those two benchmark runs
- performance is great. It's like butter.
- yes, its not brezel-less but it's still a beauty!
Neutral Stuff
- It doesn't feature two speakers, just one. the other grill is the microphone.
- no 2D Gla
- TinyDeal doesn't ship the LeTV with LeTV Services
- Tiny Deal installs a Rom with Dt. Sprache.
- I'd like it a little less apple. Even the package is iphone 6
- vibration could be stronger
- there are no notifications on your app icons (like 5 unread messages)
- just 2 micro sims, no nano or normal sized sim
Die Cons
- you basicly can't see the softkeys in bright sunlight .... or any light.
- no sd card slot
- there is really much bloat software installed on the letv one
- … USB-OTG only works via...yes USB C
- the overall feeling is great. BUT the backcover is a pure joke
- no Band20/800 MHz
Benchmark:
Geekbench 3: TinyDeal Rom: 906/4622 // Stable 003S Single Core : 884 MultiCore 4751
Geekbench 3 Battery: TinyDeal Rom: didn't run that // Stable 003S is going to take place tonight
Antutu Benchmark:TinyDeal rom: 50106 // Stable 003S: I can't find antutu benchmark anymore?!
Audio:
Stale (LeTV's) Bugs
- many apps don't work with the LeTV any more, like Modern Combat 5
- no batch install in Play Store anymore
Whats in the future:
I'lll test the LeTV intensive. Make more photos and stuff. Stay tuned

yeah, i know, I even made a tutorial video on how to install it. But tried so many apps, still, can't access contacts. For example, I downloaded the Contacts app, which easily lets you sync it with your Google account. Once you want to do that, it redirects you to phone's settings, which allow only to choose Corporate, Facebook or Skype account. I even tried to set up Google account as corporate, still no result.. Anyway, I think it will be fixed some day. It sucks as all my contacts are in Google.
good price
This smartphone is really affordable. Good price.

Just checking, did you install some google zip with TWRP? I found this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6DqRw6CSF8mcnI3ZzRleVVySEk/view
Now, my TWRP is in spanish, any way to get in english?!
EDIT: I downloaded the file 286X_v1_1080_dark.zip from https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/z31s1g/1080/TWRP 286X_v1
Connected the phone to pc, renamed that file to ui.zip, created a folder called "theme" on the TWRP folder on the phone storage and copied ui.zip to that new folder. Done! TWRP in english and themed!
EDIT2: Now, in TWRP, it just doesn't unlock, when it says "swipe right to unlock" it does nothing. No button work there. Oh the power does!
Guys, something is really wrong with the GPS. When driving the accuracy sky rockets to 30+ meters (tested with GPS test plus, get in aptoide). At 80 km/h, the accuracy goes 40+ meters. Yes, meters, not feet. My crappy THL 5000, maintains accuracy always at 3-4 meters. I'm running the last update 5.0.003S.
Anyone here tested it on the road?

How did you install Google Play?
You need to flash Gapps to system via custom recovery, for example with TWRP
I have a guide here (and a link to the needed files)

I just received my Vernee Apollo, the long awaited phone that Vernee announced back in March! It's been almost 10 months and this is it! The flagship of Vernee has finally arrived. My video above shows my unboxing, hands on, and first impressions of this device and below I'll write up a quick summary of what I think of the phone.
First Impressions of the Vernee Apollo:
The box is huge because there is a VR headset included
The phone feels very well made and finished quite exquisitely actually
There are some bezels around the screen but I didn't really notice
The phone is large (based on the dimensions) but doesn't feel that big
Screen is 2K, honestly didn't really notice when I first turned it on, looks quite similar to 1080p when not in a VR headset
Feels fast enough for a flagship
The VR headset is plastic but isn't Google Cardboard compatible
Full Specifications:
5.5" 2k IPS LCD Display
MTK Helio X20 Chipset
6GB RAM, 128GB Storage
21MP Camera with Sony IMX230 Sensor
8MP Front Camera
4G/LTE
FAQ:
Will it work on your carrier?
Check Will my Phone work, but in USA most likely not
Does it actually have a 2K display?
100%, checked on CPU-Z, Antutu etc and also looked very closely, it is actually 2K
Does it have 6GB of RAM?
Currently no, it seems like it isn't, as CPU-Z, Antutu and the stock memory manager in Android says only 4GB. Will investigate more.
Does VR work on this headset?
Ish, Vernee's headset in the box does not come with an app to calibrate it nor does it work with Google Cardboard, so it will be a lot more difficult to setup than normal VR headsets. Otherwise, I tested it in Youtube and it works.
Well this phone has all things to hit the headlines and but how many people will this info about this smartphone reach and how many will buy it? But definitely this is the right way to get noticed, atleast for startup.:good:
A win win for both consumer and OEM:highfive:
it is amazing, i like it. good design.

Yup. The only worry I have is the price tag. In this case, Jessie J is wrong (don't think many would get that reference). This is probably the first phone to release with a base of 128GB storage and 6GB of RAM. In the article as well, it's started by a reputable ODM, a little bit like how Oneplus was started by Oppo, even though they kind of deny it.

OS updates and SoC support are not why this is being excluded from the news, they just don't have a big enough marketing engine.
And depending on the price, OS updates are not hte most important. If you're paying north of $600, you should expect the best of the best in terms of support, but if you're hitting bargain bin prices for insane specs, support would be nice, but not as likely.
Yups agreed that they don't have much marketing knowledge but slowly steadily they got to pick up the momentum, unlike few other Chinese OEM which aren't been getting noticed.
At the end of the day there is a phone with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal memory with 21 MP Sony camera sensor. That's it!
BTW anyone know about it's price?

Its not the price tag that pays for your updates. Look at the nexus line and then at sammy. You pay almost twice the amount for a galaxy device, yet the nexus line gets updates faster. Same goes for oneplus, moto (before they were sold to lenovo)... The only difference is the materials used and design.
And again a 820 will probably be faster with the os, app support

I didn't say the price tag pays for updates, but for such a high price, expecting software updates isn't that big a thing. Do I expect updates for my $140 Xiaomi Redmi 3? Probably not, maybe a few bug fixes. The higher the price, the more "service" you can expect from them, and included in that umbrella are updates.
And don't forget that the Nexus line is an exception to the rule of software updates, well apart from HTC recently.

While we still do not know the date of introduction of these new models, some speak of next May, Vernee has already announced that prices will be $ 399 for the Apollo and $ 200 for the lite model.
http://www.vernee.cc/blog/
399 for the main model eh? Seems like a pretty decent price to performance ratio from that. I wonder what the build quality is going to be like though, hmm...
Which Thread to maintain ?:
this one ot the other?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen.../vernee-apollo-leaks-worldwide-metal-t3361404
BTW Thanks to iacobus86 i add news on Apollo here:
I let you new information about this Apollo. It will take the Helio X25 CPU:
Vernee Apollo's upgraded to be powered by Helio X25 CPU, global first 3D video released !
As Vernee’s flagship, Vernee Apollo gains worldwide attention even though many other deca-core smartphones has been released recently.
Several days before, vernee has published Apollo’s main specifications and renderings. It’s without any doubt that the metal uni-body and high hardware configuration will be the 2 biggest selling points.
Moreover, vernee seems to be pretty good at making tipping points of its every product.
According to vernee’s latest news (https://www.facebook.com/972671569481015/videos/1009421932472645/ )
Vernee Apollo will carry Helio X25 chipset instead of previously said Helio X20 deca-core CPU.
Apollo will come into the market in July, and Apollo Lite in June. And Thor is in hot sale right now.
Vernee Apollo newest 3D rendering video:
6G? Are you kidding me? Just wait and see
399 is quite a decent price in comparison to other phones with similar specs
Any news on Apollo Lite?
Hopefully TWRP appears soon and I'll buy it!

Vernee Apollo: An All-metal Smartphone Engineered from More Than 300 Processes
Vernee Apollo, the first VR-branded MTK flagship, carries deca-core Helio X25 SoC which features up to 2.5GHz main frequency. And it comes with 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM, 8MP front-facing camera, 21MP rear camera and a 2K display. Besides these powerful specs, it also contains a VR box in the package.
Since it is called “Flagshipâ€Â, the industrial design and technology behind it should be premium to match this name.
Apollo features a relatively rectangular shape. There is no other openings or button on the touch panel except for the receiver and camera. The black display shows great unity with the metal frame. Coupled with 2.5D glass, it delivers wonderful screen-off viewing effect.
Both the back cover and frame are treated with No. 220 fine Zircon and 360° blasting sand, which makes the phone feel smooth and comfortable. The back curve fits your palm pretty well. The simplistic antenna band decreases the band coverage by nearly 40% and overcomes the shortage of traditional three-part design. The metal ratio reaches up to 98%, making the phone elegant and strong-built.
Meanwhile, the screen is a little narrower than the frame, which is similar to the solution of OnePlus One. This design not only makes phone look slim, but also decreases the possibility of the screen contact with the ground in case of falling, which lowers the crack rate. What’s more, after CNC cutting process, the unique metal texture is better showcased and the handling experience is improved a lot.
Even in the detail, Apollo is well-designed. The whole body including the SIM card slot is firmly colored via 2 times of Anodizing process. And there is an anti-glare filter and CD pattern in the camera area. The dual tone flash, fingerprint sensor and volume keys are all processed via CNC cutting. From those details, we can see that Vernee designers attaches great importance to the appearance and industrial design of this model.
In fact it’s very hard to make a perfect product priced at 299USD range. How to balance the design and performance is a big question for most phone makers. However, Vernee seems to offer a great answer to this question, which is enough to show its honesty towards its users.
