Fitzy, be nice.

Terra, I don't know. HTC has been releasing BBC after the fact for most of the newer devices.

**fitz** · September 12th, 2008

*sigh* ok

From what I understand the BlackBerry Bold is going to be running a 624Mhz proc. And as Matt mentioned, the BBC client usually show sup a little after the release. However, as the original Touch is out (or soon to be), I'm not sure how different the HD version will be that it can't run the existing BBC app when it does launch.

edit: beyond that, the HTC Devices are windows mobile 6.1 devices at heart and as the BBC client already runs on WM6.1, i'm assuming you can get it to work albeit without support. However, as I do not have a WM6.1 device, I can't verify if that is the case or not.

I'm wondering whether Blackberry will run more efficiently on a HTC device than Windows 6.1. Still waiting to get the XDA Stellar which (if I read correctly) is capable of running Blackberry.

**madmatt** · September 13th, 2008

HTC devices handle WM 6.1 just fine. The new TouchFLO 3D makes it fun, too.

However, I can understand why you would say that and I hope WM 7 will bring something new to the table (as Microsoft has promised). Hopefully.

**Aprox** · September 13th, 2008

Matt, that HTC looks really really nice. I kinda want one

**kcnychief** · September 13th, 2008

I'm waiting for an HTC upgraded device with full qwerty -

Matt, got any info? Is Touch Pro the next one? When will AT&T get it?

AT&T Fuze (HTC Touch Pro). Coming in October/November.

The sony X1 should be out at the end of the month too, and that is supposed to be made by htc

**madmatt** · September 14th, 2008

The SE X1 (lol) was HTC built. Supposedly the Palm Treo Pro was also built by HTC.

**indyjones** · September 29th, 2008

Well the Sony Xeperia should be out this week if it is (and when I see it I don't hate it) I should have one

(will replace my samsung omnia which I sent back)

**kcnychief** · October 29th, 2008

From the better late than never - I upgraded my Tilt to WM6.1 the other night. Sweet so far - but having annoying "403 forbidden" errors on my browser from time to time. I found it online as being a big issue - just toggle Airplane mode and it fixes or reboot the phone.

Anyone else plagued by this?

**Aprox** · October 29th, 2008

Yeah I get that problem too with IE, I actually got it with 6.0 as well. I've noticed that problem only happens to IE, opera mobile is not prone to that bug.

**kcnychief** · October 29th, 2008

Interesting - maybe I'll get Opera so I have something else in a pinch.

**madmatt** · October 29th, 2008

Still no word on the HTC Touch Pro with US 3G. The AT&T Fuze (AT&T's version of the Pro) seems to be on track for a November/December release. I will never buy another AT&T branded phone; crappy ROM.

Huh? You can run blackberry apps on windows mobile devices. There ate HTC devices that run blackberry connect.

What do you mean AT&T Branded phone? You going to try and buy unlocked from HTC? I'm confused.

**madmatt** · October 31st, 2008

AT&T ROMs suck. Bloated and slow. My last two phones have been unlocked HTC phones and they work perfectly on the AT&T network. Only downside: No discounts on hardware.

**Electronic Punk** · November 3rd, 2008

I think someone let slip on 6.5 the other day, hopefully will work with my Tytn2, been very tempted by the touch pro, but to be honest I am barely using my phone at the moment and it wouldn't really add any functionality that can justify the price!

**madmatt** · November 3rd, 2008

Someone at Moto let it slip about 6.5. Interesting indeed.
