It’s been a while I’m not tinkering with my phone, until yesterday when I quite bored with work. I was browsing the my favorite forum/site for Windows Moble modification on xda-developers.com, then I found Facebook Client made by Microsoft leaked from Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM, and make an installer for almost Windows Mobile devices. According to the report its working on Windows Mobile 6.1, and 6.0, both Professional and Standard Edition, and working on all resolution (QVGA, VGA, WVGA), unfortunately for those of you who has Windows Mobile 2003 or Windows Mobile 5 is out of luck.

Currently I’m using it on my HTC Touch Pro, and I must say finally Windows Mobile have quite decent facebook client. Previously I tried to use another program (I forgot the name though), and never quite like it, mainly due to its performance and lack of features compared to iphone’s/blackberry’s facebook client. This one, is quite similar to the iPhone’s facebook client. The ability to see the news feed, friends list, status updates, message inbox, upload and tag photos/videos, photo/video/profile comments, phonebook, etc all here.

Temptations, I have tendency to couldn’t resist temptations, especially when it comes to gadgets. For example, few months ago, my friend Erta lures me into DSLR world. I’ve always wanted to get a DSLR for quite some time.  But usually I can resist it, as long I don’t have direct experience with it . Until some day, I shot some pictures with her camera. And here we go, a DSLR in my hand.

Dopod 838Pro (TyTN) vs HTC Touch Pro (Raphael)

Another one just happens yesterday, when my colleagues just got back from home leave in Jakarta. He just got HTC Touch Pro, which basically one of my most wanted phone  currently, apart from Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1 and Blackberry’s Bold. He asks me to configure emails, install applications on the PDA, etc which gives chances to me to explore the device.

My few comments so far, nice shape and form, looks much slimmer and sleeker than my current PDA, a Dopod 838Pro aka HTC TyTN. The VGA (640×480) screen is so beautiful! The keyboard, finally they got dedicated number buttons on top, similar to the full size keyboard layout. Although the keys are little smaller, but still comfortable to use. The performance, noticeably faster, thanks to faster processor and larger RAM. Touch Pro has built in GPS too, and I was amazed how quick it was to get a lock/fix.

I’ve posted on previous post that I’ve been using mobipush service for quite some time, and it worked quite reliably just until recently.  I noticed I no longer getting new emails pushed to my windows mobile 6.1 device this past few days. I was previously thought the problem caused by some error in my provider’s GSM network, since I’ve experienced more than one week of total signal blackout on one out of two GSM provider available here on remote area in Indonesia. But when I tried to browse some sites using my PDA, it worked! So I assume the problem is from mobipush. Its time to looking out the alternatives.

I’ve been using mobipush.com for quite some time to push most of my email accounts to my Windows Mobile 6.1 device. We all know that Windows Mobile only support push email using Microsoft Direct Push / Exchange, I was quite dissapointed when I found out that Windows Mobile does not IMAP idle. I dont have any email account using Exchange servers. They only supoort pull mail if used on IMAP and POP servers.
