At Expansys...
HTC Touch Dual, £369.95
E-TEN glofiish X800, £384.95
For &15 you get VGA screen, WiFi, GPS (SiRF Star) and FM Radio.
I know the Touch is nicer, has TouchFlow and hardware phone keyboard but with E-TEN for £15 you get VGA screen, WiFi, GPS (SiRF Star) and FM Radio.
I would go for Eten myself if that's a £15 difference. I'm not sure, but probably you get the Touch for its small size as well. And, as for the keyboard, it is a numeric pad, which may not be that useful as you can probably get a soft keypad for the 'fish' as well

the touch is definitly the better replacement for a traditional mobile.
it's smaller, u can type numbers with hardwarekeyboard and touchflow together with the new menu poping up when u slide out the keyboard
gives u a good one-hand usage.
beside of that etens support seems not to be the best, so better hope u never need it...
Wifi would habe been nice, but i don't use it (so i won't miss it)
and for GPS i prefer a Bluetooth device that holds teh fix even when the PDA is in standby and can log without the PDA.
But your needs can differ from mine, so no one forces u to get the touch
edit: the keyboard of the touch can be bought in 2 different versions.
with the xt9 20keys you should be able to enter text quite fast.
polaris is also an option
not as fancy looking as touch2
and dont have a keyboard
but it got everything else going for it
I just bought the Fuze. The screen looks awesome. However I am having a problem where the touch screen is very unresponsive. I find myself having to tap the screen two or three times to get it to react. For example, I have to tap the Windows icon a few times before the menu opens. I also find that pressing harder on the screen with my finger or stylus makes it react a bit better as well. I shouldn't have to press that hard however. I never had an issue like that on my Kaiser.
Was wondering if anyone else has this problem. Could it be an unoptimized OS or video driver? Any way to adjust the sensitivity of the touch screen? Basically, I want to know if this might be an OS issue vs. a hardware issue.
I hate to return such a nice phone because of how unrepsonsive it is.
BTW, I am using ROMeOS v1.4.
Thanks for any inputs.
Its probably not defective in anyway. The fuze screen is a resistive screen, not a capacitive screen (the iPhone), so you do need to press a little harder. You can install the advanced config app and/or the TF3D customizer app to change the screen sensitivity. I have it on my fuze and it does make quite a difference.
FYI you need .NET compact framework 3.5 in order for advanced config to work

Thanks for the reply. What setting did you use?
I just use the TF3D config with performance setting #4, which is the screen sensitivity one, I believe. I find that to be the best setting. The other thing you might wanna try, even though it may seem obvious, is realign the screen. that could cause some problems.
Screen Not Responsive
my screen has become unresponsive over 75% of the time. same w/stylus or finger. already adjusted sensitvity through Advanced config tool, and Diamond tweak. try to re-align screen, and most of the time, screen does not even recognize the taps. This happened on previous one I exchanged. HELP ! !
Do you have a screen protector on your device?
I noticed that my Touch Pro was very unresponsive until I got rid of the stock screen protector and used it bare-screen
Try the second cab in this post

It drastically increases sensitivity for our pleasure--i felt that it does a better job than TF3D and Advanced Config. There may be an issue with your ROM--my old Tilt would lag on me dependent on the ROM even when the programs installed were identical. Currently using NATF's.
Screen Not Responsive - fixed
Wow ! !, I never would have thought it was the screen protector. I took it off, and it works great. thank you to TehPenguin. maybe it needs to be changed more often, or use a different brand.
That, was my second guess...but seriously, try the cab...
If you're using a snap=on case that can also cause the screen to stop responding. I was using a very cool looking red snap-on case I got from ebay. I got home from work today pulled out my phone to do something and it was completely unresponsive. I finally took off the case and it worked fine.
Hello.
I want to ask,if is possible to decrease touchscreen accuracy to be sensible as QVGA?
Explanation:
I think,that the digitizer wants to recognize exactly the current pixel from small VGA screen. The problem is,that when you touch the pixel,it is necessary to release the display at the same pixel for confirming your action. If you move to neighbour pixel,the action isn't confirmed often. Unfortunately the screen is very small and this is very difficult to perform with the fingers. On old QVGA PPC's is not so sensitive,so I will be happy,if we can be able this pixel recognize as a 2x2pix.area. The main problem is when you try to tap small icon,where on the QVGA 2.8" screen you do it without problem,VGA 2.8" makes it quite impossible.
Any ideas?
I have two questions on this round.
Here's the situation. I have a sprint touch, my dad has an Elf, [touch cdma & gsm]
so i was playing around with his gsm, and i managed to notice something before i stole his stylus.
the touchs creen in the elf is VERY sensitive.. i mean i gently rubbed my finger on screen to clean it as i do on my vogue but instead i scrolled.. i was wondering why so sensitive? i didn't do the least effort of touching screen and i did.
What is finger pressure & Threshold? i set finger pressure to 500 and threshold to 5000 and my phones touch screen was useless, i could only use through my mobiler before hard resetting.
and i retrieved the GRPS settings from teh Data Connection on his elf, and i was wondering if i could use the same settings on my vogue.
so in conclusion:
How do i set my Vogue screen to high sensitivity?
How do i set GPRS settings on my Vogue?
Is there a way to get the htc shadow keyboard (not the full qwerty). This would make the buttons bigger and it would be much easier to use. I tried some of the sip keyboard cabs but they don't work on the diamond2 probably something to do with screen resolutions or something. It displays really small towards the upper middle of the screen (really wierd).
The Phone keyboard doesn't line up like a normal keyboard and is not useable for me.. My previous phone was a shadow
thanks
