[cortez]

is this the hack you're referring to: http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1524215&postcount=25
EDIT: I did a full backup of my registry and also backed up the png, txt, ldb and kdb files from the Touch Windows folder that will be overwritten. using the hack without any problems so far...

is there any t9 keyboards available? i know im in the minority, but i much prefer t9 to qwerty. i havent used a xt9/suretype keypad enough to know that i dont like it, but if i could get a t9 keypad it would be perfect

I have some questions about the Touch...

1.) is flash 7 a must for internet explorer? what browser does it work better with?
2.) does the touch come with MMS? If not, what is the best version i can install?
3.) Is there a screen locking program already built into the phone? (besides device lock)
4.) is the speaker phone and earpiece loud?
5.) does the camera have good picture qaulity?
6.) does microsoft live search work on the touch?

Thats all for now, thanks!!!!!

4) Speaker phone??? What speakerphone? There ain't no speakerphone!

In my opinion

Pros:
-Lightweight
-Thin
-Sexy
-More memory than my 700wx
-Rubbery casing
-BT is great, no more dropping the BT like my Treo
-Sprint TV actually works (right out of the box at that)
-Included case is really nice. (might not have to buy a aftermarket case)
-Lack of buttons (streamlined design)
-Screen is gorgeous. (haven't read the specs but I think that it is a higher resolution than my Treo)
-Camera isn't half bad.

Cons:
-No physical keyboard. (SPB Fullscreen Keyboard makes up for this)
-No physical ringer switch (if you have never used one, shouldn't be an issue)
-Lack of button(s) that can be programmed. (I like the uncluttered look though)
-Micro SD (guess b/c of the size it had to be Micro SD instead of SD)
-Lack of a headphone jack (have to use adapter)
* I use BT exclusively like I figure most of you do
-Attracts fingerprints and grease like a magnet.

The included stereo headset works as a hands free mic too and plugs right into the usb miniport without the adapter. Since the charge is thru the same usb miniport, it's nice to have the adapter to charge and listen at the same time. And if you use bluetooth exclusively, why do you even worry about there not being a separate headphone jack?

My question is is there a 12 volt car charger availalbe?

I finally had enough of the BT issues with the Mogul. I see many replies on the connectivity and no choppiness but how is the loudness? Had to turn off my AC (in Arizona thats a deathwish ), radio and cup my hand over the jawbone to here something.. This any better? louder headset perhaps?

Are you joking? Of course the Touch has a speaker phone...

Joking??? Not I!! Look in the list of features at Sprint. No Speakerphone. Look in the user guide index. No speakerphone. Read the entire guide--no speakerphone.

Documentation can sometimes be wrong. I just listened to my voicemail with the Touch's speakerphone.

Oh yeah??? Tell me where the speakerphone button is that makes the sound coming out of the speaker in back louder than normal.

Someone will probably beat me to this post...

During the call, press Call Status, then Speaker On
