Hmmm. I thought the touch didn't have a keyboard...

Oh, all right. That wasn't nice now was it?

There are a few out there, but a personal favorite is TouchPal. They just releaesed a new version (V3) last week.
check it out.

I'd suggest searching the software forums and all the Touch(Vogue) threads for info on apps and other tips and tricks.
Last but not least you'll want to get picmail happening, and the ONLY source for it is here at PPCGeeks in the sMMS picmail composer.

If you dont mind paying, full screen keyboard is a godsend. I had purchased my Touch from craigslist and it already had it installed on it, as well as some bootleg *** iPhone type theme which i think caused me to have to hard reset. Now my keyboard is gone. ='(

Take it on a date or dinner would be a good start

you should probably take it out the box.

Take it back and get a more dependable phone.

Cooltech keyboard.

Buy a bigger battery. I like my Seideo 2000 mah battery. 6.5 hours of Internet streaming, bluetooth headphone bliss.

Resco Pocket Radio, Explorer and Reg.

Let the dust settle on the GPS/ Rev A upgrade. Once it's clear that there is a ROM that has the bugs worked out, flash it to your phone. Although my GPS isn't working well, Rev A is nice. When I tether, I'm getting speeds faster then my home DSL.

PDAnet is nice. Maybe someone will post a link to setting up tethering without PDAnet and save you $30. I have PDAnet from a previous phone so I just use that.

Good Luck.

Welcome to the club! Now what's the password and handshake????

If you aren't shy of messing with your phone (and possibly ending up with a brick! ) I suggest checking out the Vogue Upgrades forum -> http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=59

Short list of favorite apps which are on some of the ROMs and/or downloadable :


S2U2 (Slide to Unlock - helps with that iPhone feel)
S2P (Slide to Play - great MP3 player which again has an album view similar to iPhone / iPod Touch)
iCube - great skin for the HTC cube
Google Maps
Google Search
Gmail (Java App)
Opera 9.4.something or other... It is available if you search the forum
Any Registry editor - I use PHM Regedit
Total Commander - great File Explorer replacement
HTC Streaming media / TCPMP- a must to use Youtube and other streaming media
Vista Battery Gauge - visual battery indicator across the top of your screen
QuickMenu - just started using this and its great!
HTC Home Customizer v1.0 final
HTC Home 6 tab v2.1.1005.722

Other apps you may be interested in...

vTap - cool video / wikipedia tool
Live Search
Yahoo Go

There are tons more apps out there... Everything for someone.

Why do you use PDAnet? i can use my Touch's Bluetooth PAN and tether it to my MacBook for free.


Sorry to get off subject, was just curious...
