guys I have a question to ask: does the Touch supports/reads Chinese natively? And can I type Chinese via T9?

thanks for the reply. Just curious though, is this Touch good? Or should I go for the 818 instead? I'm getting my first PDA phone to replace my N70 but I really have no clue which should I go for.

tested the Touch today at PDA Expert @ Midvalley... some questions though:

1. why the startup is so d*mn long?
2. with mapking installed, the Touch is very laggy...
3. is it just me or I need to tap the screen hard to get it to respond?

Overall it is a nice PDA phone, but a tad too complicated for me to upgrade from my N70

kerazul, are you using the Touch now?

any shortcomings on the Touch?

I guess the Touch might fit my bill. I have been using my trusty Nokia N70 for 1 year+ and initially I have the same thought: install loads of Symbian apps. But in the end I removed all those apps and now my N70 is on factory default.

Oh ya some more questions to ask:
1. Can WM6 export SMS/MMS to text file or other file formats?
2. How much does a Touch spare battery cost?
3. How durable is the Touch? Which is the most fragile part?

Hmm... is there some sort of program that allows me to export every sms out? Something like MsgStorer (exports all sms to a text file)?

Another Q, let's say i'm listening to music on handsfree or BT stereo headset, and there's an incoming call. Will the music playback pause and resume after I ended the call, or I need to manually pause and resume it?

p.s: sorry ya, a lot of questions to ask as this will be my first PDA phone

guys... may i know why is my Touch having the triangle "roaming" on all the time? :|

[The post you entered in was too short. You must have at least 10 character(s) in your post before it will get posted.]

anyone using maxis can help me confirm this? The "triangle" icon represents "roaming"... but when i check my Maxis unbilled amount it does not increase much...

lolz I'm in Malaysia, Setapak to be more exact. Now I'm at my workplace @ Cyberjaya... and guess what? The triangle is still there!

there's an Activesync v4.5 available for download right?

why you wanna use the "Get Started" disc? I got my Touch 2 days back, and prior to that I'd download ActiveSync 4.5... everything works flawlessly and I never bother to open the original CDs

Hmm, occasionally I can't sync my Touch with my PC but what I normally do is soft-reset the Touch and walla, it manage to sync again. By the way what connectivity you used for syncing? Bluetooth or data cable? I tried both and both are working well.

PDA Expert selling the Touch @ RM1999, with free BT headset + 2GB Micro SD. RM1699 is a nice price btw.

I prefer to use Sync over BT. I don't like to plug/unplug the data cable.

what's the difference between original ROM and custom ROMs? Last night I flashed my Touch to Touch Dual ROM (get from xda-developer forum); I don't see any improvements other than the "different" theme.

To be frank, the Touch does not perform well in low light conditions. Anyway, here's an unaltered picture that I took when I was at Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam a week ago.



Just resized the picture, no other post-processing done.

I have CE Star latest edition installed on my Touch, and I can view and write Chinese with ease. For Chinese input, it is like Microsoft IME 3.0 or Chinese Star, you can use "pin yin" to spell it out.

Or, the faster way is to scribble on the screen (like how we normally write Chinese words). CE Star will automatically convert your "drawing" into the appropriate Chinese characters.

Haven't try video playback; no comment on that. As for mp3 playback, the supplied handsfree is not that good. Bass is there but treble is on the higher end of the scale. But still, it sounded OK to my ears (from an audiophile's PoV that is). By the way music playback on the speaker is... horrible. It sounded very "mono" and dull. Moreover the speaker is situated behind the phone, so it sounded muffled when you put the phone on the table

erm... what i meant by "mono" is the speaker playback. Playback through the supplied headset is still stereo though
