we'll, take it for what it is, but it seems WM6.5 will be released in september, where Microsoft earlier said Q4...
"The T-Mobile MDA Compact V is the first T-Mobile device to showcase internet on your phone with widgets, which allows users to select their favourite websites, including eBay, BBC News and Twitter, and receive updates as soon as information comes in"
I want that! It sounds something like RSS feeds, but I get they're just overselling the push internet....

Hi all,
I've just ordered the HTC TYTN II with Orange in the UK. The phone is going to arrive on Tuesday and I thought I'd take a moment to work out what I'll need to do when the phone arrives.
I've had a little play with the phone in an Orange shop and I've concluded that the Orange firmware isn't very good. As a result, I think the first thing I'll need to do is flash the firmware with a generic one? I've never flashed one of these phones before and this'll be my first Windows Mobile device, if anybody could point me in the right direction it'd be great.
After that, what software should I be aware of for the device? It'll be handy if you know what I want to do with the phone and why I've chosen it.
I use my laptop a fair amount, but it's not always feasible to have it with me. As a result, I'd like the TYTN II to do some of my work on the go. I'll need it for:
Accessing work e-mail from an Outlook Exchange server and personal mail via POP3
Some sort of calendar, preferably one that I could sync to Outlook or Remember The Milk. I don't currently have a good calendar solution and what a means to have a calendar on my desktop, laptop and mobile. All of which need to be synched! Something that'll eleviate the need for a paper diary.
Web access, I need to access sites quite often, is the default browser any good? I don't have a mobile internet plan unfortunately (Orange don't seem to offer anything good, no mobile broadband, so I'll be using wi-fi access where I can).
Those essentially are my main requirements. If anything, I want the TYTN II to be my personal planner. Want it to have all my notes, calendar items, tasks, e-mails etc in one place and want those items to also sync to my desktop and my laptop.
Thanks in advance for any advice, I'm excited about getting the phone, just another 2 days to wait!
Sorry to sound like an a**, did you ot notice the rules, and the 5 stickies in the Kaiser forum? Just use the search functions, XDA is flooded with topics such as yours.
"where should I start?"
Ummm, here's a good place. Start reading, don't flash any roms for a while just play with the tons of Cabs and tweaks for starters, and there are a TON.
Have fun.
do you have any trouble with the vodafone Calendar plugin?
Just asking as every so often, I get a notificationerror stating;
'cannot execut vcalpulg.exe'
I'm not over excited about it as I could turn it off and use the WM version. Anyone else have this problem or know if there is an update from Vodafone? Have looked on their site but cannot find anything on it.
Thanks in advance.
I've not seen any Updates for the phone's software on the Vodafone site. A bit poor if you ask me
Have you got Vodafone Live to work yet?
I don't have a link for live on mine but have the STK service in the programmes folder and that's it.
Vodafone Home - do you mean HTC Home???

Neither, the vodafone calendar plugin which is in start> Settings> today> Items
Uncheck the Vodafone Calendar option and check the normal Calendar option.
This gives you the same information and is the same calendar
I have but that's not the point, lol.
As far as I can tell, the only point of that plugin is to put the Vodafone stylised calendar icon (as seen on all their other branded phones) on the today screen instead of the standard WM one. Bizzarre.
Personally, I think the best solution to such wanton waste of resources is just to flash it to the HTC ROM, and ditch all the vodacrap..
I am not sure if this is old news, but I did a search and did not find the topic... If it is please disregard
From Gizmodo:
MSN Direct's weather, news, stocks, and entertainment info have been available on MSN Spot devices for a while now, but have been surprisingly missing from Microsoft's own cellphone devices. Not anymore. You can get now up-to-date info right on your Windows Mobile home screen direct from whatever data connection you have (Wi-Fi, 3G, EDGE). Best of all, it's free, which means that MSN Direct might be moving more towards a software service on already-connected devices, which in turn means that it might even expand to non Windows Mobile phones in the future?
Link to MSN Direct:
http://phone.msndirect.com/phone/index.html
Doesn't work on the Kaiser, since MSN Direct is for SMARTPHONES ONLY.
Hopefully someone will tweak it to work for Pocket PC's, though.
From the screenshots, it appears that this works on Windows Mobile 6 devices, but the list of supported phones only includes smartphones.
I confirmed this when I tried to install it on my tilt and it was unsuccessful.
Anyone else had different luck?
By the way, that weather plugin looks HOT!
It looks like its only for smartphones, which could count all of us Kaiser/Tilt users out.
The installer says "This installer is not intended for this device".
Is it because the binaries are for a different processor architecture? If it's made for ARM devices, it should work regardless.
There's probably logic in the cab that says
IF !=whatever-os-designed-for then error. Anyone know how to change the CAB to include our OS on the allowed devices list? Maybe extract the contents and make a new cab?
This is now available for Pocket PC devices as well.. Just downloaded today and it works
Same here... Just instaled it and it works.
Finally I can get my local weather! My city was on the list unlike with HTC weather.

lol, there are other cabs available for free weather that you can customize your town or city.
Shameless plug: Just wanted to tell any fellow Twitter-ers out there with Windows Mobile Pocket PCs that I just released a new Twitter client that allows you to use nearly every feature that Twitter provides. Its pretty small (214k download) and requires the .NET Compact Framework v2. Its quite a stable program and has been successfully used in prototype status for nearly a year (and remained stable throughout that time!) and I have now released it to everybody to try. Heck, its free, so why not! Please let me know what you all think!
Download it from my site: http://www.infinitumsoftware.com/twobile
Has anyone done one that can also tweet your gps position ?
ps There is also twittercam which is by far the best twitter updater I have used on the kaiser it enables you to take a photo, tweet and upload then together in as little as 3 smooth steps.
Take pic
Tweet
Hit send and place the kaiser in your pocket.
Unfortunately it too does not tag gps data
Article from engadget stating it has shed some light on the most part of it. check it out
http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/atandt-page-confirms-htc-touch-pro-as-fuze/
Before a single AT&T-subscribing soul dreams of jumping ship for Sprint just to pick up the Touch Pro in a few weeks, hold up: we can pretty much confirm that it's coming to your neck of the woods, too. We've already seen some totally legit-looking shots of HTC's hottest QWERTY WinMo piece in AT&T trim, but now we have some more damning evidence in the form of a Google cached page detailing the so-called Fuze on the carrier's own site. As expected, we've got tri-band HSDPA, GPS, WiFi, and BlackBerry Connect waiting for us when AT&T finally decides to pull the plug on the Tilt and make this thing happen. Follow the break for AT&T's poetic Fuze verbiage -- and take your time, since there's no indication that we'll have this in stores in the next few days.
[Thanks, Fred]
