Anybody using the HTC Touch Pro/Diamond?

[PersonaNonGrata]

Just got the HTC Touch Pro as an upgrade from my Mogul. I'm still trying to figure out all the tricks this thing can do. Any tips and tricks?

So far I am liking it way more than my Mogul.

I have the HTC Touch Diamond. HTC has done an excellent job with the TouchFlo interface making the mundane Windows Mobile appear more cooler. I presume you have the Sprint Touch Pro when I tether my phone as a modem, I get about 1mb down 250 up on speedtests.

Look into PDANet (junefabrics.com) best app out there for using your phone as a modem. The built-in Opera blows MSIE away. Cheers man.

Do you guys find that you can avoid using the stylus? That has always been my #1 annoyance with Windows Mobile. I hate using the stylus. I currently have a first generation iPhone, and I want to make the move to 3g, yet I have windows PCs at both home and work, so obviously a windows mobile phone would fit my needs better, if I can get past the annoying stylus-driven interface.

LG just released the "Incite" for AT&T which also seems to have some sort of touch driven interface, so maybe I'll check that one out.

I have been using my Touch Pro for a couple of days now and would say that you can easily operate it in your day to day functions without a stylus.There is a decent sized virtual keyboard for quick notes. The TouchFlo interface allows you to navigate easier. I have only rarely had to pull out the stylus. I have mostly used the virtual keyboard and while it takes some getting used to and it lacks haptic feedback, it's pretty good. I use the slide out keyboard for lengthier e-mails and notes.

I don't know about the LG product but it is nice to have Windows Mobile 6.1. The sync with Outlook is very nice. MS Direct Push if you have a MS Exchange Server is nice too but it does suck up power.
