NOOB Questions - Just to confirm

If i buy the touch pro 2,
will i be able to install normal windows mobile applications? For example:
Pocket artist
Omniano
Opera Mobile
Point UI
Evernote
P.S
Does anyone have any idea on how to get like the CNN panel onto the touch pro 2 - like the panel is not needed but the application alone?
Is google map already pre-installed?
And is it better than the xperia?

i cant really answer all your questions coz im new at this 2, i can say it does come with google maps & opera mobile internet browser 2

You should be able to install any WM program, although there is the outside chance that programs that require a fixed screen resolution may not work.
I don't think that the Xperia panel interface has been ported yet, but there is the facility for Push Internet, which basically means that your phone will update websites in the background so that you are always up to date. You could always add CNN as one of the sites.
I don't know if it is better than the Xperia, but the Xperia would have to be VERY good to beat the TP2

Well seeing as Opera is installed on the touch pro 2 by default... I'm quite sure that'll work

How To Get TomTom On Touch HD

So im getting my Touch HD hopefully today or tomorrow and i was looking at putting some GPS software on it (TomTom) and i was wondering how i go about doing that? i mean i know that the actual software can be downloaded free just not the maps (as far as im aware) but i havent found any that say they work on the Touch HD - i read that "ttn7.910.9185 vga black" works but i cant find a download link for it anywhere that i have looked, also once done how do i buy the maps as i looked on the TomTom site but couldnt find the Touch HD as an option - i am missing something?
any help would be grateful
thanx

Currently you cant seem to buy it anywhere which is annoying. I would contact TOMTOM or search the forum for a Cab file. However people have reported that when this Cab is used to buy maps tomtom will not accept it as valid.

okay thanx. are there any GPS software that works with Touch HD that does NOT require that it stay on a specific memory card - i have seen some for sale at reasonable prices that come on 2gb memory cards but it seems that they cant be moved over and i would prefer not to have to shutdown phone, take memory card out and put new one in just so i can use GPS

Should be no problem to make a backup copy once you own the original. In fact many manufacturers recommend it.
Of the HD-compatible navigation solutions you might wanna look at Route 66 for compatibility with the TMC driver for HD available from this forum, useful depending on where you live, or the navigation solutions from Sygic and Ndrive, optimized for touch control.
Tomtom 7.9, Igo 8.3 and Navigon 7.4 are other great solutions, I use them, but they do not support the HD officially, if my knowledge is up to date.

i live in the UK, which one would be best / most easy to use.
so if i get say this one : http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=898&Lid=1&Category=2
it comes on 2gb memory card, so i could make a copy of that to put onto my 8gb memory card? would i still be able to buy maps for it - though most likley wouldnt need any yet as i dont plan on going to USA, Canada ect any time soon
as looking at the buy maps option it doesnt show Touch HD as an option but in the product details it says that its compatible with Touch HD ???

ttn7.915.9196.cab
This is the installation pack that I use.
I had my own tt 520 unit destroyed so decided to use the maps I had bought from TomTom on the HD... it's complicated but there are solutions on dodgy sites that allow a users to register a map with a device... Thank heavens for that!!!
Works well and has no issues with any of the Miri Builds of WM6.5 or Stock 6.1 (Orange UK).
RIP MJ.

iF YOU WANT TO USE TT/ with legally bought maps on the HD, here is a solution how to do it:

TomTom Navigator 7 latest version

I've been using TTN7 (7.915-9.96.vga_black) for some time. My memory card has now died so I've come back to find the latest version. Given TTN7 is now officially available for the Touch HD has anyone extracted it? It would be great to get the latest CAB, especially if it fixes the lag etc.
Apologies if I've missed an obvious thread anywhere, but I couldn't find it in the WIKI or the forums.

Guessing you will not be able to find it here as it is commercial software that is publicly available. So making it available here would consitute to software piracy which afaik is against xda's policy.
Either just buy it if you like it or be creative with google.

double post due to lagg. ignore or delete plz mods.

I'm not talking about Warez . The version I mentioned I have been using has been freely available on this site for months. The maps are copyrighted, the program is available. Now TomTom officially supports the Touch HD I assumed a new version would be available, and hence be available here. I purchased my maps legally from TomTom which I've been using. As I now need to re-install I am just looking to see if the TomTom official Touch HD release is available as a CAB.

I *think* I read somewhere about a 7.916 version coming pre-loaded on the Touch Pro 2, which is essentially the same tech as the Touch HD. As far as I can remember from the news report I saw about it the only thing it added over 7.915 was support for a hardware keyboard, which the TP2 has but the HD doesn't. Because of that I didn't bother to download the update or make a note of where I saw it, sorry!
::edit:: a link to 7.916 on this very forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556316

Thanks!

HD2 apps on a TP2?

Hello,
Since I'm running a ROM that has the Sense 2.5 on it (the DeepShining ROM) on a T-Mobile TP2, is it in any way possible to get the HD2 Barnes and Noble and mobi tv apps to run on my phone? Or am I totally talking apples and oranges, here? Any chance there's an HD2-like ROM for the TP2?
If I'm totally off here, I apologize.

I have the Europe/WWE ROM on my tilt2, and it seems to be the same as the HD2 I've seen in the videos.I installed the ebook reader cab and it has the Barnes and Noble, and Adobe apps.I don't know about Mobi-tv

In the "themes & apps" section of the Rhodium forums, there's a couple of threads already where the HD2 apps have been ripped and are available for running on the TP2....I'm still running a stock 6.1 ROM, and I've got the mobiTV app running just fine on my unit. I haven't tried the B&N or Blockbuster apps yet, but others have gotten them running, you'll find details in the the threads there (just search that forum for "HD2 apps")

[Q] WM 6.5 on Desire HD

Hi, is it posible to install WM 6.5 onto the HTC Desire HD?
I mean not as a double system, but instead of Android...
My company does not support either Android or WM 7 (email exchange software and communicator software which I must have) so I pretty much must get the HTC HD2 unless I could tweek the Desire HD to work with WM 6.5 until we get Android support in the company. The Desire HD has a better camera and screed so I would prefer to get it instead of the old HD2...
Any thoughts?

windows mobile is not open source like android, and thus cannot be adapted to non windows mobile handests without considerable work, as yet not one developer anywhere has expressed any intrest in a project like this and on a side note, as you do not own a licence for windows mobile (that you would get with a wm phone) a project like this could be seen as piracy

If your company requires you to check email on the move then surely it's their responsibility to provide you with a suitable phone to do so?
That's how it works at most places I've worked. Where I work now people who need to check work emails remotely get a Blackberry, but most still have their own personal phone too.

It's not such a crazy request... I've got certain specialist software on WM6 which the developer isn't releasing on Android or any other platform.

As in they can't justify the cost of making a new version.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Hi,
thank you for your quick reply. My company has an exchange email software which connects to the main server giving the phone a "blackberry" function. It is not pop3 and we do not have a webmail due to security reasons (or possibly lack of enough resources to maintain it) The software is supported either on WM phones or Iphones. Symbian or Android are not supported. As I basically can chose any phone available from Vodafone, I chose the DHD (yes, I could also get a blackberry but I do not like them) but since the "switch" is not possible I will probably just pick the HD2
Thank you all for your fast replies

Regarding the WM licence. Yes, you are right and I was actually not thinking about it at all! Thanks for the reminder... Do you think it would be possible to get a WM7 phone such as the HTC Mozart or Trophy and install WM6.5 on it? Meaning, I am paying for WM but am installing an older version onto it???
I will post the question onto the proper forum page...

Is your company giving support for iPhone? Might as well remove the support of iPhone too.

HTC Desire HD and windows

Not...
The DHD is an android phone and not a windows phone, simple as, get a HTC HD2, that runs Win Mobile 6.5 and has a pretty good spec...

No, Windows Mobile will not run on the Desire HD.
Further, the Exchange functions will enable your employer to remotely wipe your phone, including all personal files and contacts you have, at their whim (which will be if you leave the company). Never, ever connect your personal devices to your company network, as most policies for that connection will state that they can inspect and monitor any communications or data on that device. Not saying you're hiding anything, just that your personal comms could be monitored by your employer.
Either have them purchase a Blackberry / WM phone for you, or get hold of one from eBay and use that.
