New Owner Advice Please

Hi to you all,
I am the proud new owner of a Touch Dual, may I ask what upgrades/modifications you guys recommend and advice on how to do them, (I am a very basic computer used so please don't baffle me!)
Also does anyone know how I can get TomTom on my phone? I did have it having bought the software from EBay but that was for a Simbian phone and I don't think it will work on this phone? (I know I will need an external GPS received)
Very many thanks in advance.

One of the best bits of software i have found is mobile shell, works really nicely with the touch dual. I have just installed Tomtom on my dual and it works a treat but unfortunately for you the symbian version will not work with the dual. You need the windows mobile version. If your going to buy it i would hang on for now as version 7 is apparently due out soon so it may be worth waiting for that.

Hi Chrissyboy,
What does Mobile Shell actually do and where can I find it please?
Thx

he is probably talking about SPB's Mobile Shell, which I also have on my dual. it's a nice add-on.

Spb shell

Hi guys, i've always been an android fan but decided to try out windows mobile. so i got an omnia7 but find myself not liking the tile effect.
Is there any kind of launcher like spb shell that can be applied?
I've searched for hours but cant find anything. i just assumed it could be done because i saw it on a htc hd2.
Cheers tony.

That would be a NO NO, not ever. HD2 can do it only on Windows Mobile OS but not on Windows Phone 7. TO be honest with you, I had the same kind of feeling when I switched to Omnia 7 from my Touch HD. I still miss HTC Sense very much.

Thanks for reply,thats a shame, I'll give it a week and if it doesn't grow on my it'll be a bye bye to omnia7 I think. Thanks again, Tony.

its plausible. but will need great amount of Dev Support.
You need to write drivers which should be compatible with Dell Hardware.
That will be the biggest challenge...after its done the hardware can handle the OS flawlessly...
I know Cotulla would be a good person to ask this.

It's been a while since last post on this thread, but I will ask again. Is there a possibility of this happening. I am a long time windows mobile user, last phone was HTC Touch Pro/Titl 2 (I have both). 6.5 was great, I wanted more speed. Got DVP, great hardware, software absolutely sucks. Need to go back to WM 6.5. Wi-Fi Sharing, Email refreshing every 15 minutes, not using acceleration and light sensors to its fullest extent, not being able to save stuff on file system, not running WM 6.5 apps, list goes on and on.
Any ideas anyone ?

hi
i have done some inquiries to this matter some time back. and it seems it is possible but difficult. nobody is interested in wm anymore, except for few guys like you and me. most of the capable devs who could make this possible are not interested in wm anymore and too busy with android and wp7. as the previous reply suggests why dont you pm cotulla? he might be able to give better advice. or the next best thing you could do is trade your DVP to a hd2, which is the best phone around running wm. but minus the keyboard. and have you tried wp7 with the mango update? doesnt it support most of previously missing functions?

I can sell DVP and probably even make money on it as I currently reside outside of the US. WP7 has taken away a lot of features. Mango was a little improvement from 7.0, but still has a long way to go. The IMAP email refresh 15 minutes is horrible, I use phone as internet connection backup, WM6.5 apps don't work, I have some of my own apps I wrote, those don't work of course. WP7 looks great and works great for a regular Joe Shmoe, but for me as a business user it doesnt cut it. It's really not worth it for me to sink in so much time into this. PM'ing the guy who knows about this won't do any good, not like he is going to sink in weeks of his time into it, you know. I will go back to my Tilt2/TP2, Titlt2 for use in Latin America, TP2 on T-Mobile while in US, Titlt2 also gets use on At&T networks in US. Probably looks like for me to get some more speed need to invest in a pair of HD2's AT&T and T-Mobile radio frequencies. They will do 2 things I'm missing now: faster browsing + ability to zoom-in using Multi-Touch. If you find out of any new phones that would make me happy (HTC HD2 + keyboard LOL) pls let me know. DVP running WM6.5 would be a damn good phone though . Thanks for input !!

ok...gud luck with your work..will let u know if i come across any news..

[Q] How to install WM6.5 on a WM 7 Device ?!!!

Hi Everybody !
you all know how strange it might be some requests form your boss but this is the most strange one !
My Boss has a system that work on WM 6.5 only and doesn't work on WM 7 and he requested that I should Provide him with 40 New WM 6.5 devices !
you know that they are not available currently So I figured out that I should buy new WM 7 Devices and Flash it Back to WM 6.5 !
I think theoretically this is possible but have anyone tried it ?!!!
I want to Try it on HTC 7 pro Device , Could anyone tell me wha the steps I need to do that ?
any other suggested Devices ? I only want it to be New ,with QWERTY keypad and I can install WM 6.5 on it !
Thank you all in Advance.

Your only choice may be a new 6.5 device, and not much else. The HTC HD2 is still available, here in the UK, it is now the only 6.5 device stocked by Expansys on their web site.
How much longer will they be around? What's HTC's roadmap for the WinMo HD2?
Flashing 6.5 over a Phone 7 device, is asking for an expensive error.

I know that HD2 is the Only WM 6.5 device that still Availble but the problem is that HD2 Doesn't have a QWERTY keypad and the system required a lot of Typing.
Thank you for your support.

Hi mka00,
If you can't find new WinMo device with qwerty keyboard it is possible to use if the course its acceptable as an option the mini bluetooth keyboard.
