MattGibson Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Does any body have one? if so what do you think? I've never had a PDA but looking to get one. O2 said they could offer me this but i think there unlimited web is only 200mb??
Domino Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I don't have the touch cruise, but have a standard HTC touch. I love it, on t-mobile myself, get all my email, etc sent to it. Google maps works great, calendar sync-ing to the exchange server is seamless. It all works really well (never thought i'd hear myself saying that about a windows device). I wouldn't go back to a non-smartphone
MattGibson Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 Is T-Mobile the ones offering Fair usage policy of 3GB?
Joanne Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Thing is on a pda the internet never really racks up so much data. I'd imagine a few hundred meg would be sufficient... you'd probably be suprised at how much you won't use it!
craiglay Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Yeah, I got one. I have the O2 Orbit 2 and the Online £35 with unlimited data bolt on. I dont think the 200Mb limit exists any more, only a "fair use" policy. I have heavily modified the software on mine to get it running pretty good and I love it. Check out xda-developers - Xda-developers and look for the HTC Polaris to get loads of resources. Also, feel free to ask any questions about it! Craig

Craig Ah Brilliant, i'm iching to get one but not sure if i would be able to get used to it. Have you taken off the O2 software? How easy is it to write a text message? (can you get on screen keyboard like the iphone)
craiglay Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Na, its running most of the apps it was shipped with, just have some extras to improve usability and a fews mods to existing apps. I can do most phone fuctions from the today screen which is very handy. Its really easy. It ships with a touch pad which will do T9, multi-tap abc style and numbers and can be changed with 1 touch. You can have word prediction and automatic spellchecking too! You also get the standard stylus keyboard, letter / word recognition, etc.
craiglay Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Just done some screenshots 1. My today screen 2. Writing a txt message 3. Notification of a txt message without having to go into it 1
craiglay Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Quite a few Various UI tweaks, like showing battery level, removed a useless bar that was on the bottom of the screen, the theme Wifi VOIP calling using the standard phone app (disabled by default) Wifi can stay on when device is on standby (switches off by default) Patch for camera quality Bluetooth DUN profile The big clock is a today plugin which interprets an XML file for the layout and behaviour Automatic keylock after a period of time (Why it isn't standard with the WM6 lock i dont know!!) Sega Megadrive / Genesis emulator Replaced supplied 1GB card (for copilot maps) with 4GB Wireless network scanner Thats all I can remember for now... If you get one and want any help, i can point you in the right direction
fafster Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Just done some screenshots 1. My today screen 2. Writing a txt message 3. Notification of a txt message without having to go into it Ah right, so basically you want an iPhone?
craiglay Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Lol, na, i've already got 3g / HSDPA / GPS / fairly decent camera with video / 3rd party apps etc. Apart from the theme and the today plugin its standard WM6. It looks much better than the default O2 theme and far more functional.
MattGibson Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 Guess What...................... I got one! Just working out how to customize it to how i want it, Looked on the XDA forum and there seems to be a lot of tweaks to make.
fafster Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 The new Touch Diamond will be out before long. That looks like a great bit of kit.
Deaks Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I've got an O2 XDA Stellar coming to replace my XDA Exec I've had for a couple of years. Time to start looking for apps and tweaks again!
flyinghaggis Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 The new Touch Diamond will be out before long. That looks like a great bit of kit. Yeah, looks like it could be really good. Not sure if i could live without a QWERTY keyboard though as I've gotten pretty used to it after having an HTC Tytn (Tmobile MDA2) for the last 2 years! Other than that it looks awesome thought HTC Diamond HTC - Touch Phone, PDA Phone, Smartphone, Mobile Computer
DanH Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hi guys. been a reader on the forms for a while but never really posted before. but these thread caught my eye. ive not long got a HTC kaiser (tytnII) and love it. but i really like the SMS entry that was in the previous screenshot, does anybody know whether you can add that as an app? because mine is all Outlook based?
craiglay Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hi, and welcome to Edugeek Erm, if you are refering to my screenshot, I am using Outlook and that is just an addition to the keyboard styles. I think its built into my XDA though as it was shipped with it. Try having a look at xda-developers - Xda-developers to see if they have a solution. Craig
Joanne Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I'll hopefully be going from the tytn to the tytn II (O2 version)... I'll have to see what they can offer me on friday! I hightly reccomend XDA Developers... I got my Black Majik ROM from there and it's the dogs jobblies. It's so shiny!
