HTC Touch / New & Need Software Help
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Hi everyone. I just bought the HTC Touch (Verizon's XV6900) today which comes with WM6 Professional. This is what I need (free if possible before commercial options)

Browser
- tabs
- landscape view
- flash/java capable
- remember password function
- automatically open more than one home page at once if possible

It appears Opera Mini / Mobile is not compatible with mine for some reason. However, I downloaded trial version of Opera Mobile and have no idea what the .cab and .msi file extensions are, and how to install it. Help would be appreciated.

Why is Picsel's site without any buy options? Is Picsel only sold through partners? If not, where can I get it? I don't want to go the torrent route.

Deepfish is in closed BETA stage. Minimo is a memory hob, unstable. JB5 does not support WM6 yet.

Outlook 2007:
- synced everything, but it seems I have to create the actual email accounts manually...why?

Any tips for a WM6 newbie? Any suggested *stable* software (any category, you pick)?

For the email, are you using imap, or pop3? imap has to be configured manually

I'm using pop3.

I really wish there is a way to view landscape with a better than IE browser. Anyone? Its impossible to do it vertically. I regret buying this (almost) unless landscape view can be done.

While waiting for what seems to be the best mobile browser to come out whenever (Skyfish), I tried using operamini. I went to operamini.com and it tells me

"your phone model could not be detected"

How can I get this working?

I have Verizon's verison of HTC Touch w/ WM6 (VZ model XV6900). I really want to use Opera so I can use tabs and password remember function (if it has it anyway).

Also, anyone know how to sync my IE bookmarks from my pc to my phone? I couldn't find a way to do it in WMDC.

Chadi you want opera mobile not opera mini.

As for favourites, you'd have to do it manually.
On your PC, go to C:\ Documents and Settings\username\Favourites (for XP)
or C:\users\username\Favourites\ (for Vista)

and copy them to the favourites folder on your phone
\Windows\Favourites\

I don't think Opera Mobile has the password saving, but it's MUCH faster and a lot easier to use than IE.
