I think the screen viewing angle is because of the screen they used in this unit.

My stylus is still tight but I just got mine - on the mogul it was fine but on the 6700 I had to put a small amount of tape around the top to keep it snug.

I get the phone pop up as well - I was told that is because of SPB software I installed.

I still can't get TV to work on mine - installed 1005, copied the cache file - still no luck so you are ahead of me on that - worked fine on my mogul though.

Thank you a lot. I just uninstalled the SPB pocket plus, and yes it seems to be the cause of the phone app popping up.

If spb pocket plus is conflicting with this phone, is there a way to modify the HTC launcher so that it can load "green" software from storage card? You cannot find the green software in the program list for sure.

Pardon my ignorance.

Green software?

It means you just use the software from its folder of files, don't have to run install program and stick stuff into the system. I may express it inappropriately though. And since you never "install" it, you cannot find it in the program list from which the HTC launcher can choose programs.

Ohh ok... I know what you mean, the term threw me off. I use SiRFGPSTweaker and it is like that.

How about if you make a shortcut to the EXE on the SD Card and place it under \Windows\Programs? It should appear under Start - Programs and, hopefully, also to be placed on the HTC Home Launcher tab.

I think I saw another program besides SPB pocket plus that could make the X close apps but I forgot about it - that might a temporary work around until SPB updates their software.

Can you dial ##778# to check the manufacture date? I don't know when the "first batch" is supposed to be, but mine was made on 10/27/07, and it doesn't have sleep mode problem. I didn't use the mms program though, but I've seen people complaining about being stuck in sleep mode and could not get missed call notification and stuff.

I have yet to active sync my phone. I did a hard reset and re installed the software.

Just tried to create shortcut in \windows\program and \program files. Didn't work out.
