Re: New Touch Coming...Have Questions

So far, I know that my Touch will not come with 6.1 preinstalled and I will need to update it. After this, I will install my software.


I really want to have the following features:

-Scroll through contacts: ?
-Good Browser: Skyfire
-Good, large QWERTY keyboard: ?
- Slide to unlock : Slide to unlock program
-I read that it's hard to see the Touch dialer in daylight, so I'd really like a link to a good dialer that can be seen in day light.
-I was going to attempt to install a full iPhone theme, but instead I decided to keep the Touch a Windows phone. So I'd be interested in a really good theme like I had for my Q that mimics Vista or something...anything that looks very nice.

I've been searching these forums for about 3 weeks now...there's just too much, most of you probably have a firm grasp of what is best for the Touch.
Please help me find these software programs for my Touch...I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you!
i'm going to solve all your problems.....


-the best most finger friendly contacts is "icontact", it can be found here:

-i personally dont like skyfire, yes is does media but it's very slow and not that finger "flicky" like opera 9 browser which is my personal favorite and can be found here:

skyfire beta can be found here:

-the full quwerty keyboard that comes with the touch is just great but if you want a full screen one this one is great:

-here is slide to unlock and caller id in one program:

-here is the absolute best dialer imo (you are going to want to register with xda-developers because you will use them many times in the future):

-i would suggest against any iphone theme because it just causes more lag. here is the best rom on the board, i use the lite version because i can add my own stuff and it's super quick:

-oh yeah and you are absolutely going to need pocket winrar for most of these programs to work:

hope this helps.
