[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] ducklord:
Yes, they don't exist in some form as a native feature, but... When you pay 760 euros for a Touch pro and another 100-200 per year in data transfer costs and about 900-1000 total for an iPhone WITH a data transfer plan, and you can add to the second applications like Evernote and Remember The Milk, you have a great way of syncing notes and tasks. That's what I mean: as a whole experience, and total cost, the iPhone would be better/could do more than my Touch Pro. Problem is, initially, I too looked at its native Outlook, native tasks, "Windows" OS, and thought it would be easier to have comon data among it and my PC.

Oh, I did, I did! Please, tell me, how many of these reviews you mention that came from a trustworthy source told the whole and complete truth about every nook and crannie of the Touch Pro? How many tried to use its GPS with different apps and how many mentioned how crappy its video performance was? How many tried any software appart from what came with the phone? Believe me, I read more than 50 reviews before splashing the cash. NONE mentioned how TP ran other software. Some mentioned small problems with some screen slugginess when opening the keyboard, others mentioned that "its small keys were not too good for their big fingers"... But as we know, those aren't "small problems" but the main reasons why most of us now run custom ROMs on our phones.

Didn't say it was. I think it sucks. It's just that, as mentioned, it does what it was supposed to do out of the box, and doesn't need tweaking to fix (not improve) it. Ah, and you can actually use some web apps in it and, ofcourse, browse the Internets. No matter how much tweaking and fiddling, can we do the same, and just as easily? I guess not...

Please, really, define "make it yourself". You mean, if I cooked my own custom ROM, my problems would be gone? And no, most of the things mentioned here (or anywhere in XDA, witch I read for about two years now, although I'm not posting much) don't actually solve most of my problems. I'm with a cooked (by NRG) and tweaked ROM, I've fiddled with the Registry and tried different radios and DLLs. My TPs camera still takes blurry pictures if the subject moves, my GPS is sluggish (probbably because of the PROGRAM and NOT of the GPS device, but because Touch Pro cannot display fast enough its graphics updates - whereas, Tytn did), my keyboard still plays catch-up with the rythm I type and I have to pause every one or two words to correct missing letters... As for notes and tasks, I've tried almost everything mentioned - appart from ThumbCal, witch I'm going to try ASAP.

As I mentioned, I have a pretty novel way of thinking of the problem: I don't believe its the GPS, since I tried different radios, with different amounts of success. In all cases though, Destinator, witch has the best maps for Greece (where "best" means "not giving wrong instructions every second road you pass"), gives voice instructions and updates the screen as a snail. I guess that this has to do with Touch Pros video (and general) performance, due to its Qualcomm chip, where the older Tytn felt like it ran the program three times faster. As was told in the petition that had started some months ago, asking HTC to fix TPs video issues, video doesn't have to do only with multimedia devices, playing games and watching movies. It has to do with anything displayed on the phones screen. I really envy people in other countries that have proper maps in programs like TomTom, that don't seem as sluggish as Destinator in Touch Pro.

Ah! Yes! You are right! I'm a total noob! I had forgotten the handbrake! Now it runs, it runs like the wind! It has no problem whatsoever! And look at these gazillions of winged developers, coming to me with smiles and open hands, offering me gifts, money, useful apps, better ROMs! How was I so blind? And Microsoft! Thank you Microsoft, for changing your mind and open sourcing WM, so that all the happy people at XDA developers can finally fix your retarded errors, can finally create a useful Start Menu and not create an unusable honeycomb pattern of fugly icons in a futile attempt to reduce the infamous "wrong click" problem that curses your mobile platform from day one (what, you thought it was just a "design decision"??? Oh, no, no my friend...) And just to think that all that was needed was another series of posts with a car metaphor!

Yeah, you're right. I'm an ignorant SOB that doesn't know how to push mephones buttons. Really. On the other hand, you looked quite smart with this comment. I guess you have programmed your own custom version of Outlook for WM that has tags and categories, developed two-way syncing for Onenote, created your own GPS app with GREEK maps in assembly and run a customized OS/2 WARP version on your modded with neon lights and pedobear stickers, pink and electric blue version of the Touch Pro. With two hardware keyboards. Split and anatomically designed. For you are Pro, like your phone.

Ah, after that, do you actually realize that my TPs slow speed is NOT my only problem with it? Have you noticed that there's a dedicated sticky thread in this very site and a petitions to HTC for fixing the damn problem? I guess that in some magical way it does not affect your device, for "you fixed it" and "you know how to program it"! Could you, please, teach me how to best program teh phones? Ah, and look! A blue unicorn! And Robocop!

Best regards
