Wot? No "Paul's must have FREE Touch HD software" yet? Paul must be slipping or enjoying his (checking his signature) HTC Advantage too much :-)

[uPATE] Ok, so here is my attempt at starting this list, until Paul get's his Touch HD. All based on what I have personally used, and based on the Diamond/Touch Pro, and help from these forums and XDA-Developers:

Well I'm not Paul, and I'm a bit out of the loop with current WM software but I'd hazard a guess that any list would include;

Gsens

Core media player.

[Guest WearTheFoxHat]

I guess that because P hasn't got his TouchHD yet, he hasn't got round to posting a list of software to stick on it. Also Id imagine because of the huge screen estate, one would need to check all apps work on this beastie before posting!

I'm still tempted to get one though.

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Still waiting for a Touch HD! B)

[Guest blewer]

Mine should be with me tomorrow

[Guest kurtfhouse]

Got mine today B)

Still setting it up but the screen is amazing, I ordered a touch pro (XDA Serra) at the same time to compare them but the XDA is heading back on the morrow!

[Guest dr_nick]

how could it be possible that i will have my touch HD before the big man himself?!

maybe he shoudl be asking MY advice on what to install ?! B)

heh

I've started the list. Have a look at the first post! When Paul gets his Touch HD he can start the 'official' thread.

[Guest Hasta_la_vista]

You can control your HTC Touch HD using your PC screen, keyboard and mouse with (free software) EveryWAN Remote Support.

We just published HTC Touch HD skin on Sparus Software EveryBLOG.

Here's a sample capture using this skin:

[Guest blewer]

Come on guys! There must be a few games / apps that show off the HD screen.

Or maybe a few g-sensor games??

[Guest bazc]

vxUtil doesn't seem to have a few bugs on the HTC HD, The file and functions buttons seem to be blacked out the logo also seems to be as well?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Jokes aside.Please your first impression.

[Guest FlangeArtist]

Added PHM Soft Reset. (see first post)

[Guest dr_nick]

glad you added the soft reset one - really useful since the soft reset button is behind battery cover...!

had it before but couldn't find again.

thanks!

[Guest NotoriousVIC]

anyone know what to put into gsencfg to make texting and emails into landscape mode?

ALso I was wondering if anyone knew any programs to make the windows mobile part of this phone prettier. Once you get into the whole texting or email part (Basically out of touchflo) it is really ugly. I am going to play around with iFonz and see if that will help

Sorry for the repetive posts but I forgot to ask two more questions if anyone can answer

Anyway I can use the video call function (via 3rd part program) to lets say video chat with someone on msn messenger on their computer?

Is there anyway to use the GPS without a data plan? Google Maps actually worked for some reason the first time i used it but now says that it requires a data plan...RAWR

[Guest dr_nick]

i think this list should include the HTC hotfix for screen freze here?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Should include my custom ROM too!

I will do my list soon...
