Hey guys, does your "auto-fit to screen" actually work when viewing a webpage? I bought this phone to replace my sidekick lx on the fido network and love it, but the web browsing (while absolutely the closest I've seen to desktop experience on a mobile device) is a little annoying with having to pan around the screen...
Also, there is no msn app preloaded on the phone, any suggestions from the market? I've tred meebo, hi msn, and parlingo. All disconnect too much or don't connect at all!

HELP! Dash or MDA? Pocket Office on Dash? (for editing capabilities) Hack or Download (or Doea the Hermes also work with T-Mobile???)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've talked to everyone when considering choosing between the MDA and the newer Dash?
Is it possible to get a free version of Pocket Office to put on the Dash so I can have the editing option for Microsoft Documents?
MDA or Dash? Which is more versitile, faster, and good for work & networking on the fly?
Does the MDA have WiFi like the Dash? for free wifi connections.
After too many T-Mobile reps, HTC reps, and other users...I'm exhausted with beating around the bush form the simple, and exact answers I'm looking for. You advice and expertise would truly be appreciated. Help! Thanks.

Dash or MDA!? editing, skype, dependability, speed
Thank you for the feedback.
I have been leaning towards the MDA, but didn't want to take a step back in technology advantage, given that I'll have this phone for a while and I'll want to get the most from the device. OR Should I go with DASH in hope of getting an app to edit documents? Is there anytihng coming out soon, or where should i go to find out where to get it? Can I use either device with google's new word and excel editting, without being connected to a free wifi?
Are both devices able to use Skype?
The MDA glitches and complaints do worry me about dependability. Do you believe the MDA is stable, and is the HTC Hermes able to be used with T-Mobile?
The phone I have (Nokia 3660) just died (only shows Nokia when booting up, in a continuous loop). Therefore i have just lost 600 numbers which weren't sync to the new laptop i had ot buy because my old one was stolen 2 months ago. If you have any advice on retreaving these numbers let me know.
Also, do you recommend getting the MDA from T-Mobile for $250 or from eBay? or other cell phone sites you recommend for purchases?

Hey everyone
I`ve been tring without any success to use bb connect on the wizard (i was able to do it with bb 2.1.x.x but not with 4.x.x.x) because of that, i was not able to surf the web, only to sync email, and not my primary email account (hotmail) due the fact that i cant use http...
So now after i gave up, i was thinking on upgrading to the BB Curve (8300) any experience on it?
How about the interface, if friendly at all? or i will regret everytime that i put the device on my hands....
Any tips are welcome!!
thanks
This may be the wrong board for such a request... but I can tell you from personal experience that BBs are nothing but hype. I cannot stand them! Don't like the menus, the way the device works, the exposed keyboard, the fact that it isn't touch screen, expensive to unlock, they take forever to boot up, when battery is real low it kills the wireless so u can't make calls, etc etc...
that's that...
Wizard... simply wonderful.
Amen!!!! My wizard is my lizard,,,,,,
wizard all the way. there so modable (is that a word?) normaly after im 6/7months in to a 12 month contract im iching to get a new phone, but it took 2 years for me to upgrade from my xda mini (wizard on O2 in the uk) and thats was only due to the carphone warehouse. AVOID them btw!
before i purchaced my wizard i had the blackberry curve(8300), and it was great.... believe me i love my wizard, but the blackberry isn't bad. but if interested in getting a curve, buy the 8320 besause it comes with wifi and that helps alot.
my advice is to research.....research.....research

f;ashing your roms changes the pre-installed orange software, so unless you flash back with the orange roms then unfortunetly you can't do it... i dont think.
I'm a noob here as well and haven't got my touch as of yet, but from reading up the flashing takes away the phones identity and chagnes even the base software thats installed. I'm guessing in theory its simlar to formatting a windows xp computer and then installing vista "in theory".
Just my thoughts but sure a longer member will give you more advice... A starting point though maybe?
Going to the Orange world wap page should work on any ROM as it works ok for me on Orange using the HD and all previous devices I have had.
Just make sure you are not using Wi-Fi when going to orangeworld.co.uk or it will give you the error you posted.
You can only view orangeworld.co.uk by using the Orange data connection like GPRS, Edge, 3G and HSDPA, Wi-Fi will not work.
Hi guys! I have searched for a thread like this and couldn't find anything I was looking for so I am very sorry to have to post a new thread!
I am now a proud G1 owner. Changed from HTC Touch Pro.
Just bought this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130364847382&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I love it already! As you can see the phone has been unlocked and I am using it on orange UK network.
I can make calls etc but when I try to access the web it says no connection available.
I can put my simcard in my old phone in my bedroom and instantly get a signal to be able to go on the web.
Any help guys?
Many thanks
Steven
You must configure your WiFi connection or your APN list in order to access the internet via carrier.
To configure your APN list search for your carrier settings here:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist
Get the parameters and create a new APN.
yeah you must have a data connection in order to view web, go to the market, sync gmail...really you need data for almost everything with these phones
Thankyou so much! Problem solved!! I absolutely love this phone compared to my HTC touch Pro! So fast! So responsive!! THANKS!
I am just about to bid on an unlocked Touch HD - I am currently using HTC Hero on 3UK ..... I love the phone but want a windows mobile phone also (dont ask why but I have always had wm)
The question I would like to ask if anyone can assist me is , on previous htc wm phones I have had, there is a internet connection wizard which configues the phone for internet .and most time it prompts when the sim is inserted
3 dont support in theory the touch hd and there are no connections shown on the three website but I know I can use it if unlocked which the one im looking at is ...
Can anyone tell me if the phone has internet wizard ??
Thanks chris
