HTC TyTN / 8525 / JasJam (Hermes)
Am I missing something??
I am new to WM5, and also to the PDA realm. My old phone was an old Nokia TDMA phone, and I finally jumped into the new millenium with the 8525. I don't know if I am missing something, or if there is a problem, but I have had the phone for about 3 days, and it seems to have a lot of potential. Unfortunately, all I can seem to find is the potential...the reality is not as impressive...yet.
Here are my questions/issues:
Haven't been able to get any video. In researching this, it appears that certain video features of this 3G phone are not supported yet. Do I truly have to wait until Cingular updates something before I can watch news and weather clips on my phone without subscribing to something?
Looked into getting a game or app,...

and most apps for 8125 will work for 8525 since they are wm5 based.

Thank you for the info. I have been to Howard forums before, but have not yet scanned the forums for tips...just specific solutions (which is where I have been reading about some difficulties with Cingular video on this phone). I mainly like to look around here first because it is less of an overload (waaaay too much info over there). I think there are as many pros over here as we need, so I always will ask here before I spend too much time diving in where someone else may have already done so, and solved the problem before me.
Regarding the apps you mentioned, I have also seen them mentioned, however, I was hoping to find a less expensive way to do all of this. I know...being a cheapskate and owning this phone might be oxymoronic(?), ...

As far as finding programs, I just download them off of P2P software(limewire, e-mule++, etc.) Be careful if you are going to try that because, some contain viruses, and some just don't work. I also suggest you make a backup of the important things when installing these apps. I hope that helps.
PS. I'm thinking about upgrading from the 8125 to the 8525
