Dopod's Upcoming WM6 Smartphones + A Name Change

The unwired is reporting that Dopod has 2 WM6 Smartphones [aka Windows Mobile Standard] in the pipes. The C500 [aka HTC Vox] and the C730 [aka HTC Cavallier]. The C500 (May 2007) has a very unique form factor, maybe worth playing with. While the C730 (June 2007) is a clear competitor to Samsung's i600 and Motorola's Qs. All this is well and good but where are the Windows Mobile Professional [read: PocketPC Phones]? In related news HTC has bought Dopod and will start selling devices only under the HTC brand name. We all knew this would happen sooner or later. I think it's a good move and helps to solidify HTC's brand name globally in the mobile devices market. I just hope support and service doesn't suffer with this move.

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

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.
