TheAnand · 2 years ago

Now, I hate you for publishing this review! I was going to get the Nokia E62i this week. Now that I have read this, I will have to compare this to my choice! Grr. . .Seriously, that is one sexy phone to have....

Venu · 2 years ago

Anand you should thank me, I prevented you from buying a wrong phone :).

As long as you have no complaints on the windows mobile OS, you would love this phone and you probably even can't compare to the one you wanted to buy :)

TheAnand · 2 years ago

Yea, by the looks of it, I am getting drawn to this. But what about service and parts issues? Do they even have a care centre here? :-D I dnt want to end up putting this phone on the showcase!

venukb · 2 years ago

Anand, you can get the list of service centres here
http://www.asia.htc.com/asia/in/support_sc.html

I'm not sure of the quality of service, since they came into India recently. I'm hoping for a good professional service from these guys :)

And again for 1 year, you are covered with the warranty for any damages :)

Nirmal · 2 years ago

Congrats on getting HTC, why didnt you check out the M600 from SE, it cheap, but I'm not sure of the features.

Venu · 2 years ago

Yup I am a big SE fan. When it comes to symbian based phones there is one bulky p990 and the m600 you mentioned.

HTC for one is a touch phone. Windows mobile 6 isn't too bad compared to Symbian. Display is large yet the phone is smaller than M600 :) Also has a camera which isn't too good but its missing in M600 and the list of goodies in HTC goes on..

Meanwhile my friends were surprised to see a non SE phone in my hand :) I see that you too are a big SE fan :)

Nirmal · 2 years ago

You are right, I'm a big SE fan. :D

Vikram · 2 years ago

I'm a big SE fan too - my phones over the past 9 years have been S or E or more recently SE only.
Just moved to the HTC Touch - wanted to know where I could download the HTC T9 Phonepad as the only issue I've had so far is having to type sms's - could really do with T9.

TheAnand · 2 years ago

I am a Nokia fan. . .My 5 year old Nokia 3310 still runs perfect! And my other phone the NgageQD is one military hardware..It has been like falling down every other day, no probs yet.

@ Vikram, search youtube, there was a video of some guy teaching how to send sms faster from the htc using a software . .

Venu · 2 years ago

Vikram, yes I managed to get hold of the T9 touchpad on the day I bought HTC. The cab is hidden in one of the threads in XDA developers forum.

I'm writing on post mentioning the different keyboard applications which can be used on windows mobile. It should be out today :)

Raj · 2 years ago

Hey, I was thinking of getting an HTC touch but then I read your post yesterday evening and couldn't resist anymore and got it today!! :)

Its great! But when I inserted my SIM, it gave an error saying that my active network (ID:14405) was different from the default or something. I realized that it was because I had an "Airtel Gold" SIM. I had to manually select "Airtel" to get it to work. I called up Airtel and they were pretty clueless about the whole thing. :D

TheAnand · 2 years ago

Raj, tell you what, call up 121 and express yourself! :)

Venu · 2 years ago

Raj, Welcome to HTC Touch owner's club :)
Airtel customer service for one might not even know that they are the ones who introducted HTC in India.

Ask about MMS setting/GPRS setting on HTC Touch, its like Sanskrit to them. Anyway glad that you got it working :)

Mohan Herle · 2 years ago

Nice and Helpful article. We can enhance TouchFlo from it's basic featues to contact list also. Try PocketCM.One of the links is listed below. Though compatibility list says WM5, I did't have problem till date.
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?so...
With this installed, you can scroll the contact list by your finger. Jump to particular alphabit instantly. We can scroll A,B,C,D...nicely. Good animations etc.,This is the best enhancement I had till date(tried tons of it).

venukb · 2 years ago

Mohan,
Actually you can do the scrolling and panning even in the contact list. Not sure if you have tried it.

I will definitely have a look at PocketCM to see if its a useful add-on.

sarvan · 2 years ago

Hi,
Even am looking forward to buy htc 3450. Is that available in bangalore.What is the price.

Sivabalan · 2 years ago

I have a E61 for a while. Was impressed with HTC Touch by reading the reviews. Recently I walked into 2 mobile chains asking for a demo piece. None of them had one. Am very skeptical to get this without trying out the navigation and getting a hang of it.

- Is there any place known to you guys where I can try this out
- AFA the touch screen goes, does it have any "lifetime". Cause mobile touch screen is a recent thing. So I would like to see if there are any data/gurantee from the vendor on this. ( was also freaked out by the mobile store guy, when he said that the life time of the phone will be activated if he switches on the phone )

I like my E61, but its responsiveness is not spantaneous

Venu · 2 years ago

Saravan, It is available in Bangalore, not sure of the current price, but I happened to see a price tag of 19500INR recently.

Sivabalan,
The number of handsets in the market is quite limited i guess and stores will not show you a demo piece, unless they have received one from the manufacturer. You can even ask for a demo piece of N95, you would get the same response.

I would suggest you to checkout the HTC touch vides on Youtube for a "virtual demo"

Regarding the touchscreen lifetime, it shouldn't be a big issue. The screen is designed to handle constant inputs I believe and they do come with a screen protector as well!

Sivabalan · 2 years ago

Thanks Venu for the reply.
One more point for me to ponder is keypad. MobileBurn review states that for professional emailers, it might not be that great.
I would send around 20 emails a day from handheld. And thats why I wanted to test it in first place

mohanherle · 2 years ago

Sivabalan if you have your reservations about touch screen and the main usage is emailing than you should seriously consider HTC S710 with a extremely nice sliding keyboard. About the demo you can go to Nationation Market in Bangalore and try.(possible if you are lucky). It is really excellent phone with the same memory,processor,etc., The difference is OS which is almost the same. It has got it's own plus points compared to HTC Touch.
Saravan it is little above 19,000( with warranty) in National Maket of Bangalore. But you may be aware it works only with Airtel. The unlocked version is around 20,500/- (without warranty)

Sivabalan · 2 years ago

Checking out FutureBazaar ( Big Bazzar Online). It quotes 16.5 K for S710

http://tinyurl.com/ytrphb

mohanherle · 2 years ago

In Bangalore it is (national Market) it is 15,750/- with 1year warranty. Please not it does not come with 1 GB Memory (HTC Touch has it). It is unlocked phone (meaning it will work with any operator). U may like the phone. See few reviews,camera, sound and performance is good.

sarvan · 2 years ago

Hi All,
Thanks for the reply. It was good to know that HTC 3450 works for Airtel, coz am a airtel customer for 6yrs. Though i didnt check the model and price in Bangalore, i am now in America. Here i checked the price and is 20K for a unlocked version. I will go to the shop and see the look and feel.
Do any of you suggest me buying here or back in bangalore ?

Venu · 2 years ago

Saravan, I would suggest you to buy it here in Bangalore. The price might have dropped by then. US is definitely isn't the cheapest place to buy mobile phones :)

mohanherle · 2 years ago

saravan, If u have not bought it already in US do not buy it there. There you will get it from Hongkong and it will originally have chinese OS.Apart from that unlocked phones will not have warranty (u may be aware). Price wise I have checked and it is cheaper by around 1K in bangalore. But if you have bought it nothing to worry, there is no issue which you cannot surmount.

Gautam Patel · 2 years ago

I came across a new ROM update has been released For HTC-touch though i'm not sure official or not but i could not
find it on website.I've registered as member but it seems the site has not been updated.
The faq section doesnt contain any information on HTC-touch yet.And there's not much
information on HTC-touch.Currently I'm facing two problem with my device
They are:-

1.) there's a 1cm light blue color spot on my screen which has appeared a few days later of purchasing the device & it dosnt seems to vanish.It's always visible when the device is turned on.And i came to know from a friend that this is manufacturing problem and many other peoples i came across on web forums are facing the same problem.So i want to confirm if this is a manufacturing defect or not.

to confirm visit this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?...



2.) Since a few days Internet sharing function on my device isnt functioning properly.
When i tap on disconnect option in internet sharing, it doesnt disconnected and continues showing connected status.After exiting the function, when again open internet sharing function it doesnt start and to start it i have to reset the device, it seems like a problem with the device software.

Currently i'm in bhopal & a college student so going to service centre in metros is not easy for me, though i'm trying to get e-mail support & its good so far.

Please letme know abt. ur reviews & opinions on this & any kind of help would be appreciable.

Does anyone knows Anti Virus Software for HTC Touch Phone? Are such Anti Virus softwares available free or chargeable? Are they safe to install in HTC Touch phone?

Does anyone know about free/chargeable anti virus softwares for HTC Touch? Are they safe to install?

Husham · 2 years ago

Hi! I am interested in buying this phone. But i am not an Indian. I am a Maldivian, So can i get this from Bangalore with international Warranty and it has to be unlocked. If Possible can any one let me know the Price and the location of the shop. My Email: husham@alliedmaldives.net

mohanherle · 2 years ago

husham, You can get HTC touch for Rs19,000/-(INR 19,000)with one year Indian Warranty and this phone bought in India is locked with Airtel Service provider. Now if you unlock it then you will forfeit warranty. Of course for INR 20,000 you get unlocked HTC touch (Brand new- but without warranty).You should take your chances and it is worth the risk. if you source it from USA the story remains the same but you will be paying little more. You can buy this unlocked phone at Mahaveen Electronics, Shop NO 51, National Market (next to Tribuvan theater) in Bangalore- 560009.

Husham · 2 years ago

Thanks. But the problem is its with no warranty rite, since we don't have Air tell. I can get it from here in Maldives also but the Problem here is that its without warranty so i am not sure whether thats original or fake. is there any way we can guaranty about its originality. Here its price is US$570. Email: husham@alliedmaldives.net

mohanherle · 2 years ago

Husham, 570$ works out to 22,584INR. In Bangalore the Original HTC (Without warranty costs around 20K). In Bangalore it is Original Packing, all the contents and Brand new piece (not refurbished). It may be difficult to get a fake phone anywhere right now. But I do not know if you land up buying a refurbished phone in Maldives.(Unlikely). All the best....

Sumit · 2 years ago

I bought this phone yesterday and have been really impressed with the wide array of features it has. Great buy!

Pramod · 2 years ago

Varun · 2 years ago

Hi any idea whats the current price of the phone in blore now?????...i mean the unlocked one!!!!!

Pramod · 2 years ago

Hello Varun, Global Access is selling HTC Touch un-locked versions at 19800rs with 1yr warranty...

They will un-lock it for you for free once you buy it...

Varun · 2 years ago

THanks Pramod....but its not worth buying it for 19k cos the next model with 400mhz proc is on the line to market i think much or less the same price!!!! :-)

Devendra · 2 years ago

Hello I have bought HTC Touch yesterday at BuyN Save, intially they told it works with every sim and after buying and opening the box they said it works with airtel only, but they dono that. I want to use it with a Hutch SIM by unlcoking. Will the warrenty exists for unlocked HTC? Pleae suggest and ways to get working my phone on any sim.

venukb · 2 years ago

Devendra,
I too had the trouble of making the work when I went out of India. I was prompted to input the unlock code and I got the code using the tool mentioned in this link.

Also I am sure the unlocking is more of a software thing and the warranty should still be valid.

http://tinyurl.com/2c2vao

Let me know if it helped.

Devendra · 2 years ago

Thanks Venu, I have seen how to unlock there before.

But, not sure whether to use it or not and you helped me.

Thanks

Nice review Venu, i bought the phone yesterday and then found your site via google, linked back from my site
http://alfred.co.in/gadgets/htc-touch-my-new-ph...

emm do you know any site which has free software for the HTC touch ?

sushsri · 2 years ago

I have got a htc touch phone. Service provider airtel in bangalore.
I tried using the airtel online gprs service. I did not get the updated settings as airtel do not have the same in their database. The customer service people concluded that this service does not work for htc touch !!!! well anybody tried this service succesfully on htc touch..

Can you let me know the how to set the phone for gprs connectivity for airtel online

Pramod · 2 years ago

Same Here !!
I need to know how to manually set the GPRS to work on Airtel & Vodaphone.. both customer care sucks !! they dont understand what we are speaking

Venu · 2 years ago

Fahad,
yes you can download the attachments, regarding warrany on unlock, it shouldn't be a issue, the resellers themselves are selling unlocked phones i believe.

Cesar, I didn't understand as to what you wanted. You can always change the language via Settings -> System -> Regional Settings (you will be prompted to restart the device)

Alfred congrats on buying the HTC Touch..regarding free software check pocketgear.com

sushsri/pramod, i will check if i can get any info on gprs setting. I was told that mobile office does not work on htc touch and i can have only the airtel online service enabled on htc touch.

Fahad · 2 years ago

hi
i Bought new HTC touch handset from mobile store and its working pefectly, even the Airtel GPRS edge and mobile office is working fine. But am little concerned about the battery back up, it goes down very badly, it doesnt even remain on for a day

venu, is it beacuse am using airtel GPRS all the time syncing outlook mail?

I didnt have any issues configuring the mobile office, as soon as i activated it, it was configured easily

thanks
Fahad

Here In maldives we dont have a service centre. so what shall i do.

Tirath · 2 years ago

hi . i have htc touch . and i have activated mobile office of airtel . i have skype in my cell and for that i have to use my wifi . so how can i use it ? what are the settings for that ? and i have to use internet through my htc touch . so what i have to do to use net ? i syncronised my cell but dont know how i set up my settings in PC to use internet from my cell? kindly mail me on my id tir123_2000@yahoo.com . thanks .

venukb · 2 years ago

Fahad... GPRS might suck up some of the battery, but the main battery killer is the WiFi.
I for one have never found out how much the battery lasts .. once i am at work, i connect it to my work PC (so that the tasks and meetings are always upto date).

Meanwhile if you got GRPS/Mobile office working, you should definitely share the details. It would be helpful for many users. Let me know if you want to write a guest post on this blog :)

@pramod, i could only get the MMS setting for Hutch. For airtel, the gprs and mms settings are similar. If its the same case for hutch, let me know, i will send across the MMS configuration.

@ahmed, try doing a HARD RESET, the manual has instructions for doing the hard reset. It should hopefully take care of your problem.

@atul, I am not sure of the current price now, check in ebay or rediff etc, they give a good estimate of the CMP; again market price will be less than what is mentioned in these sites.

@tirath,
Fahad can hopefully share the settings he has done on his mobile and you should once verify.
You can access internet via GPRS (while roaming) or using WiFi/USB while at home.

suresh · 2 years ago

dear all I've recently brought HTC touch all want a help from you people is how do read a e-mails in outlook express, can I read my aol & gmail.

Lokesh Mudgal · 2 years ago

Hey!! Venu, thanks a ton for such a mind boggling blog. I was looking for reviews for HTC Touch when i came thru ur link. Now i am planning to but Touch next week, and have already saved this link as Bookmark.. I think its gonna be of great help once i bought one for me. And just to ask The Demo of Touch i saw required a very strong finger press to see the TouchFLO working. is it the case with the all Touch or its just that faulty Demo at the shop. Please reply...
Thanks

Hi,
pls tell me how to transfer outlook contact to HTC3450

pls reply on my mail.id pravin.bankar@gmail.com

venukb · 2 years ago

Lokesh, Glad you found the post useful. And you definitely don't need strong fingers for TouchFlow to work :) But I can tell one thing, you might rarely use that feature :)

@anant, HTC Touch does not have GPS ! You might have to look at other altenate phone from HP (iPAQ)

@pravin, download activesync and it will help you to sync contacts/tasks/notes etc (if you are on vista, Windows mobile device center will help you accomplish the same)

Hi Venu, It is wonderful blog. I got my HTC Touch yesterday for Rs.17,500 and would like to share a few things. Now they already give the Keyboard software installed. It is unlocked piece and i am using my Vodafone (Hutch) card in it wihout any problems. Please let me know which video files are supported on this piece.

mukesh pawar · 2 years ago

proceder of p3400 pocket pc upgrade or conect with pc & mobile format system, im installed safe mode software & my mobiles screen touch system is locked?

venukb · 2 years ago

@Cesar, please try setting the language via the settings panel

@deep, I also had the no number display problem, not sure how i got it fixed. But I deleted all the SIM contacts and I have only Outlook contacts (synced via my desktop outlook). Try creating outlook contacts in phone and see if the problem is fixed.

@Neo, congrats on your phone. So are you saying that the T9 keyboard comes by default, that is great ? Regarding videos, if you want to take videos using the phone, you can capture in 3 formats. Mpeg4, h.263 and motion jpeg.

If you want to play videos, you should be able to play whatever plays with windows media player. I need to investigate to see if there a similar player as VLC

Nikhil · 1 year ago

Venu I am sorry I dont know how good you know about htc touch, I have one, but language can not be changed through region changed, it changes only time , date and currency format. Mine in russian and want to make it in English, being frank I dont know how?

venukb · 1 year ago

Nikhil,
I am not proclaiming to be a HTC Touch guru here, and for the language issue, I remember mentioning "try" in one of my earlier replies :)

At least on Windows OS, the regional settings is the one which helps in setting up the language (and yes you need install the language packs separately), I guess on Windows Mobile, it isn't that straightforward !

At least I have read in few forums that the device itself has these packs installed and hence easy to switch between the languages.

Please do post here, if you do find a way to change language, I will also continue my search :)

Nikhil · 1 year ago

Venu

You are right as far as regional settings are concerned.
I am an Indian residing in Russia, bought htc touch
wanted to change language, while using keypad, after every alphabet it changed to russian again, now after changing it, it is not switching back to russian.
But base display is in russian, because windows installed in it is in Russian, similarly to PC window, if it is in Russian you can not change it. You need English version if you want everygthing in English. Me too is bigginer with communicator, trying if some how i could change it.

Czaneil Johnson · 1 year ago

Hi,
I recently purchased a HTC touch, and my network service provider is Airtel Karnataka, when i inserted my SIM card it gave me an error message that my current network setting is different from what iam actually using and gave me options to select the country and network when i select India and Airtel it gave another message that the device does not support this network and all the network services providers features might not work, i clicked ok and the phone started working normally, now iam trying to set up GPRS (Airtel Live) and am not able to do it when i contacted Airtel customer service they dropped a bomb mentioning that HTC phone are not compatible with Airtel GPRS, is that true? pls tell me how do i activate GPRS on my touch.

Regards
Czaneil

venukb · 1 year ago

Lokesh,Kapila,Caneil:
As far as I know Airtel has been giving wrong information saying that GPRS doesn't work on this phone.

Most of the mobile service providers have the option of sending the GPRS and MMS setting over the air (OTA). What the support guy is telling is that he doesn't have the OTA setting for HTC Touch.

You have to manually configure the GPRS; Unfortunately I haven't activated GPRS on my phone, but basically you need to create a new connection with APN : airtelgprs.com and use that connection as the default connection. It should work, I would also suggest you to get in touch with the technical department of Airtel.

Sandeep Pathak · 1 year ago

Hi Lokesh,Kapila,Caneil

no need to worry actually the Airtel Live is not compatible with any Windows Mobile but you can go for Airtell Office service thats the complete package for Gprs in which u have the facility to connect your phone to PC and go online on Pc using your GPRS connection

you dont need to configure the service and dont need any settings as well just need to make sure that the Gprs service is active The Airtel Live is Free withoud any monthely charges however the Aitel Office may cost you about Rs499 Per Month

once the service is active go to settings>>connection>>network wizard and follow the on screen instruction

it will work no need to worry at all

Hi Venu,

Your site is rocking man.

I got my HTC touch last month and its really great.

I always get a notification telling that it is not able to detect the network and asks for some kind of upgrade from the vendor. I am not sure what he is asking for.

Need your help on this.

Sameer · 1 year ago

Hi Guys...
I am using a BSNL Broadband connection and have a Wireless router setup. My HTC touch detects the connection and also connects to it. But still I am not able to access the Internet. This is because the broadband is of type ADSL connection and I need to create a dialup connection & connect to access Internet. And this I follow for my Desktop comp. I believe ther's no way in HTC touch to creaet a Dialup to connect with only User Name & Password.
Could anyone please help me in this Concern?

Regards
Sameer

Hii Venu, MY name is Ankit Chopra and i stay in Mumbai. I am planing to but HTC 3450 and would like to know what is the current price for the same. Shall I buy it from the HTC Showroom or from any mobile store... Please help me with it... Its really urgent.... I am waiting for your reply Veenu..

Regards,
Ankit Chopra

Ankit Chopra · 1 year ago

you can also mail me with the same on my email id i.e ankitchopra@usa.com

venukb · 1 year ago

Ankit, the price has now dropped to around 16.7K I believe.

Checkout out in indiaplaza.in for the latest prices, in the mobile store you should get it at almost the same or a lesser price.

venukb · 1 year ago

Sameer, I am not sure why you are trying the dial up approach, if you have a wireless router, just use the Wifi feature on HTC to connect to the router.

The router should assign your phone a IP address (if dhcp is enabled) and you should be all set to access the internet.

Hello sir
found ur site very informative
iam planning 2 get P3450 HTC TOUCH in bglore
features are really good n worth
but i have some queries after
surfing through net n found that some have commented that
1)the speaker volume is too low that calls r easily missed,
2)camera is not very good
3)battery hold time is less than 6 hrs n needs to b charged frequently
4)wifi is actually not functioning/not a feature as promised
wats ur opinion on them
I also want 2 read textbooks in them..will it be easy to handle for that purpose.
wher can i get them now in bglore..

venukb · 1 year ago

Suba,
After using a iPhone from the past 1 week, I am not sure I'm in a state to recommend buying an HTC touch now :)

There is no issue with the ringer volume, however if you do put a active conversation on speaker, it isn't very clear.

Camera is basic 2MP camera without flash and hence you can't expect much from it.

Battery isn't really bad and I have not found myself charging it frequently. If you use Wi-Fi extensively it might drain the battery fast.

Wi-Fi works great, no trouble there !

Reading stuff on a small device is something which I find it difficult, if you have no such trouble, then there are lot of applications that can be installed to read stuff on the phone.

You can buy online in Indiaplaza or buy in any of the popular mobile stores. IndiaPlaza should give you a good estimate of the current market price.

venukb · 1 year ago

@Brendon,
Looks like the modem driver is missing. You should have it on the "Getting started" CD which came along with your phone.

@Ankit,
I have digged up this XDA forum thread just for you :)
<pre>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2115746</pre>

Cell Info display is supposedly a battery sucker, just make a note of it. As I am on iPhone from past few days haven't tried out the method suggested in the thread. If it worked for you, please let us know.

@ Attiah,
I have had no such trouble, do check in XDA forums if other users have reported a similar problem.

Can yuo help me in setting up GPRS on HTC p 3400 i. My ISP is Vodafone Delhi. I have even subscribed to their mobile connect plan - and received a SMS stating that it has been activiated on my phone.

Vinay · 1 year ago

Hi All,

I purchased a HTC P3470 a month back in Bangalore. I am on SPICE network for the past 6 years. Since the time I have bought this new phone, I hear my callers telling me that they have made umpteen number of calls where I haven't picked up their call, but strangely, my phone never gave me the indication of the call, nor was it on the missed call history. But all the time, the people who called me, could hear the ringing from their end.

Once I tried to call my mobile from my land line and found that it was really happening the way mentioned above. Offlate, it is getting nastier with everybody asking Why I am not picking up the phone while I dont seem to get any indication at all !

Before I get in touch with the HTC service center, do you folks see anything I might be missing here? I have put my ring tone at high volume setting. My call from landline to my mobile seems to be a litmus test for it's not working.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Regards,
Vinay.

Venu · 1 year ago

Madhu,
I'm on airtel and not sure of the settings for Vodafone. In most cases setting the APN would be more than enough.

Vinay,
You seem to have a real unusual problem. If the phone is still on warranty I suggest you to go and get it checked immediately. The other thing you can do is also to put in another SIM say airtel and then try making a call.

Hi
I came to this site when I was looking at some info about outlook express connection with my new acquired P3400. I purchased in Bangalore yesterday for 1.02K. My usb connection is working well. I was not able to update the contacts from HTC to PC though I have outlook express in my pc ( window xp). I am worried to run the trial version that they gave me in the CD ( trial version). It says that it will over write on the exiting software. The question is why it is not recognizing the exiting office outlook express. Is this different from outlook 2007?

Hi Venu,

Is P3450 a PocketPC or a smartphone?
I wanna buy a PocketPC. Can you suggest
some good HTC PocketPC phone. I guess
3450 is a SmartPhone

venukb · 1 year ago

Sangunni - For one, Outlook Express isn't part of the Microsoft Office family. The trial version of Outlook bundled by HTC is probably prompting to tell that it will over write the older version of Microsoft Outlook.

Also you cannot sync the contacts via Outlook Express, you need Outlook.

K999 - You might need to upgrade the firmware for changing the language. Do check out the XDA forums for more information on this.


Prakash - You could have easily looked up the manual in the HTC web site ! Here is the link for you reference

http://www.htc.com/www/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=88&...

Soori - Please check my earlier post listing the customer care center of HTC in India

http://www.venukb.com/2008/04/29/htc-customer-s...

Ram - I am not sure if the term "Pocket PC" is used any more. Smartphones are phones with PDA functionality and Pocket PC is just a PDA with no phone functionality. However the term Pocket PC Phone is also used widely for PDA's with phone feature. HTC is a Pocket PC phone :)

Ankit - I am not sure on what connection you are on, but most of the GSM service providers come with a mobile tracking solution.

Airtel for has MicroMTS

MTNL for one also is providing <acronym title="Lost Mobile Tracking System">LMTS</acronym> again in association with Micro Technologies.

Ankit Chopra · 1 year ago

Hi Rohit.

I would like to kow when is ur Date, Time zone gets changed, once you connect it to your desktop the active sync changes the time and zone automatically if so then, check ur system for the same. And this might be one of the possibilities for your appointments & reminders fr the same. Try these things if then also the problems persists contact Customer Care.

Aniket Sharma · 1 year ago

Hi venu...

Your blog is really very useful... I am planning to buy HTC Touch soon.. But i learn from many review that it has following problems.. Please let me know if they really exist.

1. Music quality in earphones as well as external speaker is not at all good... I have been using Nokia 3230 which has very poor music quality.. So at least this time, I want to have good music quality from my new phone.

2. I have airtel connection and GPRS is free on Airtel Live. But i learnt that Airtel Live doesnt work on Touch. If so, my GPRS being free will be useless.

3. does HTC Touch have FM radio..

4. Dies the fact that Touch has minimal keys (5+2) create problems in using it easily??

I will be really thankful to you if you answer my queries.

Amita · 1 year ago

How can such a modern phone not have a language change automatically. Are they doing this to get more money from us, my htc p3470 was a gift from a French friend, yes, you guessed it it's in French, & so is the handbook, all other mobiles I have purchased have had at least instructions in 2 languages & one of those was always in English.I can struggle by, but it would be a lot easier in English as it has so many applications. htc have ruined a perfect gift by being so petty. Please if anyone finds the free download for the English please e- mail me on azelmatukay@yahoo.co.uk I shall be eternally grateful. Hazel
