Re: Dumb I know but, is my TP2 a Smartphone or a PocketPC ?

Hey thanks for the replies,

One other question I had was, if you have a program that is made for say WM5 only and you try to put it on WM6, or if you had one that was for a smartphone and you tried to put it on a PocketPC, what most likely will happen?

Will there most likely be a warning message saying this program is not made for this version and it just won't load.

Or is it pretty easy to get the wrong version of a app on something so long as it was at least made for a WM OS .

It varies by application. Some let you play. Some are designed for both. Some will let you know.

Not that i know of, but if something like that would happen you just have to hard reset your phone and it will all go back to normal, as it clears everything on your phone and restores the firmware back to stock setup.

Well nothing happened yet but what I am worried about is that I might by accident install something that would.

An btw, not that I am complaining about that reply but even though I have only had this, my first device such as this, for only a few weeks now, I have already made enough custom setups with the reg and installations of programs that if I even were able to do a hard rest to fix a incorrect install, while I guess it wouldn't be as bad as a brick, a complete wipe out would certainly be a bad issue as well.

Just tryin to be safe.

Oh of course. I got my phone on the first day it was available in the US and NO HARD RESETS. I am fully against it.

So what are you thinking of installing?
