LOL, you like? hahaha

Yeah, I hook mine to my pocket, not my belt. My beer gut dunlaped over my belt and phones on my belt dig into it.

ok, some newbie questions. im coming from a q so im familiar with winmo, but there seems to be a lot of differences b/tw smartphone and professional

1) how do i customize the programs in the launcher tab? i saw the htc home customizer thread but im not sure what all can be done with that?

2) are there better voice command programs available? i was kinda surprised to see voice tags, i miss my voicesignal!

3) is there a thread/resource with different reg edits? i like my programs sorted as a list, but id assume the reg edit i used to do this on my q is diffferent

4) is there a better contact manager? i like pocketcm, but its not playing nicely with my touch

thanks guys!

@Polen: Why would you need a stylist?!? Hahaha

I know what you mean, I have not used my stylus at all.

Depends on what you exactly mean. If you mean what apps can be scrolled with your finger, almost anything can be used with it. There aren't any real cool things perinstalled, but I have used finger scrolling with most of my apps.

The only one that does not work with it and comes with the phone is SprintTV since it seems to be more of a Flash-like based interface.

1) No need for the customizer. The customizer can be used for it, but it's more for how the plugin looks. The Launcher tab has an X icon, you click it and go into Delete mode. Then you can remove the shortcuts; after exiting the Delete mode, click on an empty shortcut an you will be prompted to add a new one there.

2) I read of someone installing MS Voice Command, however, it seems to have the same issues as it had on the Mogul. Which to be sincere, I don't remember what they were.

3) Yes, read the FAQs Sticky to find links to threads with helpful apps and reg edits.

4) I think I recall reading that there's a reg edit to make PocketCM work better. You can also try VITO's Funcontact or I also use the one on Agenda One.

LOL, darn spell check doesn't correct using the wrong word.

Well, my wife says I dress sloppy, so I guess I don't use a stylist either.

I just got the touch to replace the Mogul, and I have some questions.

1. Sprint TV initially didn't work, it just didn't load any channel until just now a pop-out window notifying me of upgrade. I did and it worked. The upgrade file looks the same as what I used on the Mogul, but on Mogul after this upgrade every channel unlocked. I subscribed nothing but had the access to every single channel in Sprint TV. But on Touch it worked properly, only very few free channels.

2. I finally realized why people complained about the stock keyboard getting in the way when typing. I got the same problem when setting up the email accounts. Nothing can be scolled up since it's just a plain page. I have to type in blind for the password. Is there any way to go around this? 3rd party software?

3. Can we also use the soft reset after hard reset trick to get rid of the pre-load crap ware? For me, only the Sprint TV is useful and I can always install it later. But I don't know if this would affect the Touchflo and the cube? Anyone tried?

Afterall, it's really tiny and solid built, better than the Mogul. However, in terms of PDA functions, Mogul wins without any doubt.
