Re: Just got my HTC Touch Pro2 ... Now what?

FirstOverboard,
Glad that I could help. I totally understand your frustration with people telling you to read. I know that in my case, I read, and read, and read some more and sometimes still don't find exactly what I am looking for. The threads are long, usually with a lot of BS posts that don't contribute to the overall board topic. Searches help, but usually force you to read all through the BS to find the meat of the thread. If you are looking for a place to start, try the stickies at the top of the forums. They are extremely useful, but will also become bloated over time. Case in point, check out the Tsowen taskbar stickie. I want to learn how to do it, but there are over 6 different versions now and there are others cabs designed by others that add to the chaos. Let alone the fact that you have to use multiple cabs to do the job which requires you to understand what they are doing as well if you want to actually know what is happening to your phone. I have 40 posts per page and end up with 37 pages so now you get a picture of what you have to go through sometimes. You do get "lucky" sometimes and someone will point you in the right direction, but other times you are left with a search that sometimes take you places you never thought you would go...

I would take tbran's advice and look into those registry editors. I personally haven't tried them, but was going to look into finding a free alternative. $30 is just to much cash for a program that I can also get for free. So, thanks tbran for the help. I will be using those links.

The other thing that I would highly recommend you do is use the Thanks button. People are more apt to help you out if they know you are willing to say thanks afterwards. If you don't have a lot of thanks, you aren't going to get a lot of help.

Nagrom Nniuq,
I would agree that there are a lot of apps that have existed before this phone and that they will be used on this phone as well. That doesn't mean that there aren't new things for people to check out. Remember that we are all coming from different phones and as such have used different programs to accomplish the same function. Now that we have a new phone to play with, there might be something better that will work for this phone then say a 6900 or a TP. (Which was what FirstOverboard was asking about.)

Again, hope I helped.
Speed...
