The thing to remember with any new phone is that it takes both a while to learn and also setup how you want it to be etc.
This morning brought a knock and the door and my new HTC HD2 phone with Windows 6.5 Professional operating System on it.
So, the first job was to painstakingly save all my original contacts to the SIM card before swapping it over, then learn the rudimentary operations of the phone it’s self.
I know I’m not used to it yet, and while it’s lighteningly quick, it’s a little too sensitive and very easy to open the wrong application up.
It took a while to see the memory card and frankly, I have no idea just how much data is being transferred at any given time.
The one little bug-bare is when I connect it to my laptop, I want it to connect to the internet using the available laptop connection.
The thing is, while everything is just wonderful and there’s so much innovation in this thing – I need to download the Divx codec to watch some of the vids I’ve loaded on it. But it won’t let me, or at least doesn’t seem to want me to do it at all.
There was also a third party thing offering 15hrs of free GPS?! I just hit on Google maps and all the info I needed was already available – odd!
Text’d Gabby with it and all that seems ok, would have text’d WKD but havent seen her for a while and she’s also quite a busy bee.
All in all though, it’s a very robust thing and while it lets you do a lot of customizations – it does not seem to want you to un-customize things if you make a mistake – or I haven’t read that bit yet lol.
Next up, one guitar, amp and laptop to make some of my own ringtones – LOL be afraid! lol
On top of all this there’s quite a bit of personal family stuff on the go at the moment, so while I should be working, I’ve got my head down.
I had no problem downloading Divx. I just set up a labs account and d/l it straight onto my Dell. Up and running in minutes. There does seem to be a lag between video and audio, though, which is a known “feature”!
Okay, got most things sorted now, it’s all very clever, I just wish I had Japanese fingers!
The phone was wanted so I didn’t have to cart my laptop everywhere and so I could blog. As such, a little fettle on eBay and I found a £3 foldup keyboard.
We’ll see how it all goes.
