Over the last few weeks I have heard a lot of people complain about the HTC TyTn (and more so these days with the new iPhone out now). But the phone itself is not bad – but if you are still running Windows Mobile 5 on it then sorry you don't get the rights to complain – that OS itself has loads of issues. So, if you are like me with a TyTn I would suggest you get on a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM and get some peace of mind. I am running the 'Diamond Look-alike" Mobile 6.1 ROM and it is rock solid – I highly recommend it. I have been running it for a few days and am very impressed.
Of course, I was contemplating between the Diamond and the Diamond Pro, but now with the iPhone 2.0 – the water is as clear as mud on which one I should pick! Sigh!
On a somewhat related note, if you were thinking of getting a Diamond from Expansys, I would hold off as all of their phones are imports and technically grey market imports which HTC does not and will not support. But despite Expansys, why would anyone pay so much more for a HTC Windows Mobile, when you get a similar spec'd iPhone for much less?
Shame on Expansys for selling them as "UK" phones.

So I switched on my Bluetooth headset and discovered the Text to Speech feature that Mango has which works brilliantly. On the other hand, the reverse – speech to Text has a few short comings. Here is what was send to the missus when I replied to an SMS using this feature:

And in case you were wondering, no I did not say that – but something quite different. I guess Mango is still beta :)... - June 13, 2011 -- TFS on the Road–Windows Phone 7 App (1)
Pedro has build one of the best apps for Windows Phone 7 (WP7) that I have ever come across - TFS on the Road. As the application navigation map shows below it covers most aspects of TFS that you would be interested in – all packaged up in a very nice GUI. :) Best of all, the application is free and you can get it from WP7 Market Place or if you want the code then from CodePlex. There are more screenshots for you to see what this looks like. Before you go away and install the app, you need ... - February 15, 2011 -- Google maps on Win 7 phone? (1)
