Back home finally after a very long and tiring trip. During the 1Hr stop over at CHANGI Airport, Singapore I was able to play around with the dopod C500 [HTC Vox] very sleek device. The screen is amazing and it's really tiny. The device was 'clean' [no 3rd party apps or data installed] so it was really snappy. The top slider had a slight jiggle on the lower [near the keypad] part [this actually made me decide on holding off on getting one]. It was listed at SGD 700.00 [about PhP 21,XXX] that's a fair price for a feature packed WM Standard [Smartphone] device.
I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well. I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
