Mmmm. I wonder what they mean with the TP2 being a "DUAL OS SMARTPHONE" :erm:

I love my phone, but the build quality seems slightly off, perhaps it's just my one. In particular, the battery cover squeaks and creaks a lot when I have the phone's keypad open and I'm typing. Not a nice feeling. I've been thinking of putting some paper in the cover to make it a tighter fit.
Apart from that the phone seems pretty solid so far.

Hmm that's not good... I don't have anything like that on mine.
Maybe you can request a new one?

I can understand what an adjustment this must be for you...
With regards to a media player, try TCPMP. The free version has been discontinued for a while now but it stil lworks well: http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.cab
I ran TomTom on mine for a while but never really had much use for it so now I just use the included Google Maps.
I've never tried Garmin but I think it's just about personal preference which software you use.
There's also Igo8 but just like TomTom & Garmin, it isn't free.
If you're looking for a free option, Google Maps is probably the best you can get IMO

Another free option is http://www.nav4all.com . I havn't used in in a while and it's nowhere as nice as TomTom or Garmin but you can't beat the price.
Thanx guys. ill try this over the weekend
I have had my TP2 for just about a month. Other than the size, this is truly a brilliant phone. There is also a world of win mobile applications and games available as well.
I have installed the TCMP, but get the following error on running it:
"Unexpected Program failure. Please send "crash.txt" to the developers"
Any idea what causes it?
Besides that I have installed Skyfire, Nav4All, Total Commander, and a whack of games.
It has been a great month exploring this phone.
Winmobile 6.5: what's the word this? Is this upgrade worth it?
Thanks

That's like asking what the best car is... or what's the best take out restaurant...
It's an opinion. I personally like TomTom but a lot of people prefer Garmin. It's a personal preference.
Garmin has certain features that TomTom doesn't and visa versa

Oops sorry that was the wrong link I posted
Try v03 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381292
If you have any issues try some of the other versions
As for WM6.5, it isn't a huge upgrade from 6.1. I get the impression it was put out just to keep users busy till WM7 is ready (which should be next year some time).
HTC will have updated ROMs in a few weeks, so they say.
This one is slightly themed but it you can get any idea of what it looks like here: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=seq460&s=5

Not sure how this differs from the xda link - there are 2 TP options available - I installed the TP 2 CineVisionScope cab. It did however give me an error (on the 1st start) that my ffmpeg driver is not up to date. I followed the instructions and thereafter it worked just fine.
Is this a newer version?
