*Updated* 3/30/09 Downgraded to 32GB HTC Touch from 32GB TP.......

Ever since I heard about new model from HTC coming Sprint/Nextel way, I decided to ditch my HTC Touch Pro. I do it so that i can get whats worth now and save that money for the new and upcoming HTC handset. I simply think that my action is made for the best. I called it " Downgrade to Upgrade ".

Since I already sold my HTC Touch Pro , I am left with just my adaptor and 32GB SD Card. So I bought a HTC Touch , and mode it the same way i did on my HTC Touch Pro. Enjoy

Adaptor: Just send them an e-mail that you would like to purchase one, and they will send you an invoice. I believe they are around $25 - $30

Did the Touch Pro take full size SD cards?
or did you mod it to look just as bad? .heh

That's actually pretty awesome. Any thoughts or plans to posting perhaps a guide on that? Also how sturdy is that slot, can you pop it in your pocket or into a belt holster without worrying?

Thanks. I carry the phone bare in my pants or jacket pocket. The slot if pretty sturdy. I used it bare ever since i had my Touch Pro , and now to the Touch.

If there is a lot of you who are interested in doing this MOD , I can take some pictures of the step by step I have used.

Nice... I was thinking of doing the same thing not for media but to add WIFI. You should be able to pop in a WIFI SD card and run right? Question... Where did you get the ribbon cable that slides into the micro SD slot?

Check the 1st post. I updated with some info on how to get your hands on the adaptor.

As for SD Wi-Fi , I believe it should work, I haven't tried it yet since I have not found a Cheap SD Wi-Fi card. If you do happen to test it , let me know how it comes out (Eventhough I don't use Wi-Fi)

Can I ask what you use all the space for? 8GB MicroSD cards are damn near free ($15-$20) and the cheapest 16gb MicroSD is about $60. What on earth are you storing on your memory card that you need to have access to all the time that takes up 32GB of space? It's a cool mod none the less, but it's aesthetically disturbing, not practical, not cost efficient, and most of all, it seems unnecessary. Why do it?

I applaude the genius in its essence. as well as the effort.. But that is the most ungodly frankensteinish thing ive ever seen done to a pocket pc..

.

good work though all the same.. lol..

I put movies, photos, and I record music streaming from Digitally Imported directly on my phone as i listen to it. Movies and Music takes up the most space. A little bit of programs. I also use it as a portable harddrive.

Note: I have about 8 gigs left.....
