Thanks for the additional information. I still love my Tilt 2. I’ll have to try that key mapper you recommended. Right now I’m running AE Button Plus, and I have the PTT button set to toggle the task manager and wifi, depending on how long I hold it.

Happy that bit of info was helpful, hope you flash a custom ROM at some point I know it can seem a bit daunting and I am sure you saw a “I bricked my phone help” threads, but those are almost always some one who does not read the recommended procedure. Having read this blog post you seem a fairly analytical guy (compliment in my little world) you would have no problems successfully flashing your phone (my favorite “cook” is twopumpchump great ROMs) no pressure but if you were sitting on the fence, pardon the pun just hoping to give you a push . also don’t know if you are aware but there is a key mapper app for the rhodium found at this link

It allows you to map any hardware key (any!!) to whatever app or function for example I have the push to talk button mapped as my camera button works beautifully. Oh and if you don’t have opera mini (not mobile) 5 beta, it is the fastest mobile browser out, buy far.

good luck

P.S. after writing all this I wonder if you still have a tilt II, ah well

Thanks for the tip about XDA-Developers. I’ve burned countless hours on there since October and found some fantastic free apps that I use on a daily basis.

I’m not brave enough to try a new ROM on a critical piece of equipment yet, but I’ve deleted the bloatware and made a few registry tweaks, and the phone is now running how I like (mostly).

It also uses sever side compression like the newer version of opera mobile however they have been doing it much longer, and for me have been more reliable it also has more robust flash support but I still Find Opera quicker I simply feel they have some ironing out to do with their “turbo” mode.

Also the real advantage at this point to Win-Mo in my opinion is the opportunity for customization I do not know if you have been to

but if you really want to play with your phone this is the place it is fairly geeky and requires some reading on your part but this is the place for HTC phone tweaks and info

Hope you continue to enjoy your phone

I’m glad that worked for you. You might also be interested to know that there are “splitter” adapters that allow you to charge an HTC phone and use a 3.5mm headset at the same time. This is useful, for example, if you want to use an HTC phone as your MP3 player in your car. Of course, with most cars now including bluetooth the 3.5mm connection becomes less important.

Thanks for the tip. I tried it and it worked.
