HTC Touch – The iPhone Beater

HTC Touch - The iPhone BeaterHTC might be unknown to many Indians due to their lack of products availability in India. But they’re actually one of the largest Windows Mobile based PDA providers in the world. But as they’re very much into the OEM behind iPAQ, O2, Dopod and i-Mate they didn’t came into the big picture. Now, they’ve acquired Dopod Brand and are very keen in the ever increasing Indian Market on global products. To start up their big plans for India, they’ve released this cute buddy HTC Touch in India along with AirTel (Bharti Cellulars Pvt. Ltd.)

As of now, this product in India is available ONLY to AirTel Customers as it’s locked to AirTel GSM SIM Cards. Considering the larger growth of AirTel in India and it’s huge consumer database, (including myself as I do hold an AirTel connection) it didn’t came as a minus point. At least, for me. :)

At first glance itself this device suggested me greatly that it’s not any ordinary Windows Mobile PDA (not even O2). It comes with a revolutionary TouchFLO™ Technology developed exclusively by HTC for this beauty. The technology makes the touch screen distinguish between a Stylus and a Finger and acts differently according to that. You can scroll up and down or side to side with just a flick of your finger on the Screen in most of the applications that comes pre-installed in this device. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Hitesh and Chandrashekar,

I don’t know how came two questions are placed on the same context with different mobile numbers and different names of same problem and same description. I guess it’s either one of you who’s so desperate to find the mobile that had you to post in my blog with two different names. Anyways, thinking you’re a genuine reader of The Gadget Freak, I’m answering you here.

First of all, please try to understand that Gadget Freak can only help people by giving answers to their questions. We can never give services like finding stolen mobiles. All we can give is the ways to find mobiles.

You can do two things. One is, you can ask the Idea company to block your SIM Card. The next one is asking them to track down your mobile. For the first one, you just need to provide a letter. For the second one, you need to file a Case with local Police Station and get the FIR of the Case and then with their help try to locate the phone if you remember the IMEI number.

If you don’t have or remember IMEI Number, there is two ways of finding it. If you have the handset, type *#06# and your IMEI Number will be immediately displayed. If you don’t have the handset as in your case, please find your original bill where they would’ve mentioned the IMEI Number (if it’s a genuine purchase).

Hope that helps…

Hi Ashwin,

Increasing the font sizes in Nokia Series 60 Smart Phones is only possible if the Series 60 is Version 3 interface (Like the N-Series and E-Series)

Psiloc company developed a software named Psiloc Font Magnifier which does exactly the same thing you’re asking for. It helps you to increase / decrease the font sizes on the Series 60 Smartphones. They offer a free trial version of the software which will cost you $13.57 (Rs. 548.64).

Try it…
