Thread: Hello

Hello,
I currently have a Samsung D500 as my primary mobile device and decided a while ago I would get an iPhone 3G but there seems to be so many niggly things about it that I ahve noticed the HTC Touch Pro which looks much better and right up my street as I like gadgety things and this device seems gadgety enough. I ahve never owned an HTC device before and never used Windows Mobile so I will list a couple of questions below whcih I hope you guys can answer for me:

1) Does the Touch Pro come with a stylus and a place to store it within the phone like the Diamond does?
2) Can I use Skype and TomTom on the Touch Pro?
3) If I don't want to use the Touch Flo 3D interface for any reason can I temporarily disable it and just use the Windows Mobile Home screen?
4) Can I check my e-mail using imap?
5) I found a Flight Simulator game for Pocket PC's Will this run on the Touch Pro and whcih file do I download to use it?
6) If (when the device is out in UK) that the provider I get it from has put their own software on, can I set it back to just the default HTC software with Touch Flo or not?
7) Any idea when this phone will be avilable in the UK?
8) Can I keep my existing mobile number?

I'll add more questions as I think of them.

Regards,
Neil

1) Does the Touch Pro come with a stylus and a place to store it within the phone like the Diamond does? Yes.
2) Can I use Skype and TomTom on the Touch Pro? You can use anything that's currently available for WinMo6+.
3) If I don't want to use the Touch Flo 3D interface for any reason can I temporarily disable it and just use the Windows Mobile Home screen? Yes, although it's not very appealing without the TouchFLO I must admit.
4) Can I check my e-mail using imap? Yes.
5) I found a Flight Simulator game for Pocket PC's Will this run on the Touch Pro and whcih file do I download to use it? Not sure, don't get ahead of yourself there tiger. Won't be released for a while, better things to worry about than games.
6) If (when the device is out in UK) that the provider I get it from has put their own software on, can I set it back to just the default HTC software with Touch Flo or not? Doubtful, usually they put their own things on there for a reason... May be possible with a reflash.
7) Any idea when this phone will be avilable in the UK? I know just as well as you do.
8) Can I keep my existing mobile number? Last I checked getting a new device doesn't change your number... But just remember, there are no such things as dumb questions, only dumb people.

Hello,
Thankyou for those answers. Are there any images of the deive which show the stylus and the slot for it?

There's picture confirmation.

Thankyou! I appreciate your time and help.

Hopefully will continue to post here if I get one of these. I keep hearing a 4th August UK release and hope that is true!

Thanks

Meh, I'm in the US so I have a long time to wait. We don't even have a release date for the Diamond yet. Oh well, I'll just use the junky little clamshell I have for now, it's worth the wait for the Touch Pro.
