Touch Pro 2 Continued

So I've been using the Touch Pro 2 for quite a while now. If anything, it has really solidified my love for Windows Mobile (I'm sure I'll love Windows Mobile 6.5 even more haha).

I really love the interface. HTC's Touch Flo 3D is really really nice. Of course HTC Sense is even nicer (but oh well).

There are a few programs that I installed that I think are worth mentioning.

Facebook for Windows Mobile
Gotta hit up FB while on the run right? Allows you to update status, view friend's contact details, upload mobile pics and vids, and pretty much anything and everything. Free of course...

Palringo
I was looking for a Yahoo Messenger client for Windows Mobile (wanted to stay in touch with a certain someone... :) ). Unfortunately, Yahoo! is too shitty to make one so I had to look for a third party client. I first started to look for pidgin (which I use for Ubuntu Linux). You do need to sign up for Palringo's own IM but after that, you can add other services to it. Completely free too. For Live Messenger, there already is a client for Windows Mobile (though I am sad to say it doesn't support multiple logins like the current desktop version - my PC is a 24/7 machine).

Microsoft MyPhone
Who needs ActiveSync with this program. Microsoft bring cloud computing to the masses (and free) who owns Windows Mobile devices. At every user determined period, MyPhone will back up your device (its contents) into the clouds and you can login and access your files online as well. Also offers (for a nominal fee) various security features if your phone is missing/stolen (think exact location, think file back up, think call/alert even if the phone is on silent mode, think locking/bricking the device). VERY powerful service. :)

HTC Touch Pro2!!!

Finally got it! My very own HTC Touch Pro 2! :D



Somehow I happened to get a really really good deal on it... :)

I really really missed having a PDA. No more scribbling notes on pieces of paper and stuffing em into my pocket. No more wondering what roads have bad traffic (google maps + 3G + GPS = WIN). No more wondering if something is cheaper online... :p

I really love the TouchFlo interface on this device. It is a great "skin" that makes Windows Mobile 6.1 a lot more finger friendly. Also, I love how you can sync up the contacts with their Facebook profiles (hey everyone has FB these days right?). Really cool stuff. :) Only apps I have installed apart from Google Maps is Facebook for Windows Mobile and Tiny Twitter. Let me know if there are other good stuff out there! :)

One thing though. That 1500mAH battery takes FOREVER to charge. Seriously... But at the same time, battery life seems to be way better than my old HTC device, the XDA II.
