I recommend you go get Swype beta, it's really great and it is similar to SlideIT if not mistaken. http://beta.swype.com/

App2SD will need to have your phone rooted, which is possible now but not in an easy way. Check out xda dev forum for that.

That's really a nice price! Probably an official one I guess? But not much people active in this thread.

2nd day of x8 experience. playing all night with this device.
1. install ADW launcher, gone the fugly se interface. can cramp all my widget in one page. yey!
2. install Adv Task Killer. wonder why RoadSync and Music Player always appear on the list?
3. install papago x5. frankly, garmin is way better.
4. i had this problem, i dont want threaded sms, yet no single android app can help. windows mobile need 1 registry modification to do the job. what a shame.
5. camera is laughing stock.
6. angry bird is good. slice it is even better.
7. battery life could be better.

correct me if i'm wrong, the objective of rooting is to enable some application which need 'elevated' authority for it to work (such as app2sd). other then that, what is rooting for?

thanks again!

extract the contents into a new folder (i put mine in desktop) then plug in the phone in flash mode, (im using w7) so when i plugin, it auto search for drivers, then it says cant install, just go to control panel, hardware, device manage, u will see a SEMC kinda drive wif a yellow triangle icon, jz click on it go to properties, update driver by linking it to the folder u made. i did this without installing pc companion, im not sure if this is even needed wif pc companion installed.

HAWK reso is too big for our screen, can play but a big chunk of the view is being cropped of, and some major controls are there. so dont think can play.
