SE Xperia X1 vs HTC Touch Pro - browsing experience
As can be seen in the video, text entry without a stylus is nearly impossible on the Xperia X1 in portrait mode. By necessity you have to slide open the keyboard. The same situation does not apply to the HTC Touch Pro.

How to make your Touch Pro/Fuze D-pad work better
Many HTC Touch Pro users have complained about the HTC Touch Pro D-pad. Up and down works fine, but left, and especially right works pretty poorly, with accidental activation of the surrounding keys very common.
Fortunately it seems there is a better way after all. The fortuitous destruction of a HTC Touch Pro has given us an inside look at the D-pad, and one sharp xda-developer named Vexingv suggested that instead of trying to press the rim of the D-pad, it may be better to actually press between the Back and End Call, or Home and Call button.

Flash 10 coming to Windows Mobile
he recent release of the emulator of Internet Explorer 6 Mobile brought quite a few disappointments, not the least of which was the revelation that the Flash integration in fact relied on Flash Lite 3.1, which, being based on Flash 8, proved rather incapable when it comes to accessing most Flash functions on the internet, which usually demanded at least Flash 9.
Now, according to MobileCrunch, Adobe is planning to demonstrate Flash Player 10 running on Windows Mobile at its Adobe Max developer conference today.
Product manager Michele Turner told MobileCrunch:
We will be showing the first delivery of Flash on mobile phones, on other platforms. You will see it on Windows Mobile.
Adobe will also be announcing a closer collaboration with ARM to optimize the software to work better on ARM-powered devices, which may relieve our concerns regarding the usability of the software on our devices.

Internet Explorer Mobile 6 for Windows Mobile video review
- YouTube works in full mode, i.e. with Flash - no need to use limited mobile version of YouTube
- rendering of websites is truly desktop-class
- Google Docs is working like in dekstop but unfortunately editing is impossible, only viewing - so not quite like a desktop after all
- JibJab is not working because it requires latest version of Flash (version 9) and this browser supports only some older version

HTC Touch Cruise (HTC Polaris) tweaks and tricks
1. HTC random access manager :
to make it easy to scroll in contacts like that of iphone (alphabetical at the righet side of the screen) irst go to CONTACTS >>> menu >>> options >>> uncheck the show alphabetical index
and then do this tweak to also access t in dialer:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS]
“0″=”Contacts”
“1″=”RandomAccess.exe”
this tweak makes the random access possible to use also with the dialer. Some how after restarting the device the contacts random access will not be accessed so here is the solution copy Randomaccess.exe included as attachment in to the windows folder pof your device.
————————————————————————-
2. Use 6 Tabs with htc home :
You need to edit your registry to get our music tab back,
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome
Add new string,
Tabsetting = 1,2,3,4,5,6
You can change the order of the numbers to sort the tabs how you like
1 = Clock tab
2 = Favorite People tab
3 = Weather tab
4 = Launcher tab
5 = Music tab
6 = Profiles tab
refresh the htc home to get the tabs u can do it by unchecking the today contects and then checking it and it will refresh and
people who missed the favorites home tab delete this registry key :
HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD\Quickdial
delete it an drefresh thats alll and u will get all the 6 tabs !!

Windows Mobile 6.1 POP and IMAP send mail patch from Microsoft
This behavior is associated with a feature that is introduced in Windows Mobile 6.1. The feature allows for mobile operators to specify an alternate SMTP server name that is used if e-mail messages cannot be sent by using the user-specified SMTP server name. If the mobile operator does not specify an alternate SMTP server name and if the Windows Mobile 6.1-based device does not connect, the e-mail account is corrupted and cannot send e-mail messages.
Supported Operating Systems: Windows Mobile 6; Windows Mobile 6.1

HTC Fuze review
Along with the Sprint Touch Diamond and the Sprint Touch Pro, the Fuze on AT&T represents the latest generation of Windows Mobile smartphones. With it, WinMo devices on AT&T graduate into a ‘next gen’ world that truly feels like late 2008. These devices (we could also add other upcoming devices like the Omnia, the Xperia X1, and a few others) truly feel competitive against other smartphones like the BlackBerry Bold, the iPhone, and the G1. While I do believe that was the case before, of course, the higher resolution, smaller size, and full feature set of these devices makes it an easier case to make.
What makes the Fuze ‘next gen?’ It’s a mix of a few things: A slick, modern UI in TouchFlo 3D, a screen that finally gets beyond QVGA with 640×480 resolution, a smaller, compact size, more capacious memory, a default browser that isn’t flat-out embarrassing, and a processor that able to keep up with it all. While all of these increases can fairly be called evolutionary instead of revolutionary, they do add up to a qualitative change.
Processor: Qualcomm MSM7201A, 528MHz. The MSM7201A has become the go-to processor for many of the latest Windows Mobile devices (especially those made by HTC). While there have been questions of “GPS Lag” with the chipset, overall it’s a very powerful and very snappy proc. I find that it has a decent good mix of power and battery life (especially on the Treo Pro), and the Fuze is no exception (more on the battery life below).
Memory: ROM: 512MB, RAM 288MB (corrected!).
I am tempted to say that the real reason for the occasional slowdown is the large amount of resources taken up by TouchFlo 3D. After a soft reset, running only SEVEN Beta in the backround, I get the following free memory:
- Without TouchFlo 3D: Total 200.99, In use: 60.52, Free: 140.47
- With TouchFlo 3D: Total 200.99, In use: 71.52, Free 129.45
In other words, although TouchFlo 3D takes up quite a lot of RAM, the fact that the Fuze has a large amount of RAM set aside for Program Memory really helps mitigate that.
