HTC Smartphone

Next to being a big fan of HTC Phones (Android and Windows Mobile). I also highly enjoy using a phone I recently received called the Motorola Milestone. It has been some time now and the Motorola Milestone has finally been rooted. You can find instructions on rooting your phone at the following URL:

http://motorolamilestoneroot.blogspot.com/

Some reasons that would make you want to root your phone:

• Screenshots of your phone
• Wifi tethering
• Custom Roms (So you can get 2.0.1 or 2.1 faster on your Milestone phone, now we just need some rom cooks )

And there is a lot more but maybe I will go into detail later on.

Enjoy the root for now, and sorry for going a little bit off topic on this blog. Hope you don’t mind!

Perhaps you have heard about Flight Control for iPhone? On iPhone this game is a great hit. It is a game for iPhone where you take control of an airport and reroute planes to land in specific zones. The WVGA Game for Windows Mobile looks a lot like this game and seems like a copy of the iPhone variant. But can it live up to the amazingly fun iPhone game? If you read this review you will find out.

The same people that brought us Tower Defense for Windows Mobile are responsible for this game, The game Tower Defense was valued as a great game with smooth and addictive game play and sublime graphics. On a first look Flight Commander appears just as smooth and fast. The game has cartoon graphics that really fit the genre. The main menu for some reason has some well rounded madams that well, don’t really try to hide their female shapes. Everyone knows sex sells but it does seem a bit overboard for a game like this, even if they are just drawn graphics. Though the graphics do look nice it truly feels out of place when compared to the rest of the game.

From the main menu you can go to highscore that shows you a list of scores you have attained and can genuinely work as a challenge to yourself to improve this. Like Tower Defense from the same developers this game has an option to continue a paused game which is good. Colorstone genuinely shows it’s understanding towards the mobile gamer here. It’s great that you can just exit a game and resume it subsequent on so you can fill the little gaps in your free time with this action.

In this Windows Mobile game you have to land choppers and airplanes on landing slips. There are 3 unique airports in a level, chopper pads, normal airstrips, and a water landing strip. As you start playing the choppers and planes start to spawn on the sides of your airport. As new planes or choppers come in the airspace you will see little blinking lights that alert you to their bearing. The planes and choppers have to be landed in this Windows Mobile Game on the airstrips. The planes can be landed on the strips by giving them a path to the landing strips/helicopter pads. Whenever you land a plane your score goes up, the game ends when you crash a airplane and your lives run out. You can make the game a bit more easy by having the option to go from 1-4 clashes before the game ends. As game play goes you might really prefer to use your stylus instead of your finger. Seeing as most windows mobile phones have resistive screens you can really play the game with a stylus for better speed and accuracy compared to the iPhone variant.

By using OpenGL ES for the graphics of the game Flight Commander is a genuinely glorious looking Windows Mobile game experience. You get with this, beautiful animations, speed and a great gaming experience. The price for the game seems a little steep comparing to the iPhone version. But because of the lacking support for game programming on this platform we have mostly Microsoft to blame for this. Flight Commander for Windows Mobile is all in all a truly great experience on your Windows Mobile smartphone. All we can say is: Hats of to Colorstone Ltd. for another great game.

This game works for sure on: HTC Touch HD, HTC Touch Diamond 2, Omnia 2 and Omnia Pro.

If you have seen the latest video demonstrations for Windows Touch and other multi touch application software, you have probably been wondering when the technology will finally land on the mobile phone. HTC brings an end to this wait by launching the new HTC HD2 smart phone. This mobile device has a 4.3 inch capacitive multi touch screen and is currently running the HTC Sense interface on Windows Mobile 6.5.

We are hoping for an upgrade compatibility with the upcoming Windows 7 in order to make full use of its multi touch features. Multi touch alone does not make a great mobile phone, and the HD2 is a pretty expensive device to boot. Fortunately for us, HTC has packed some pretty serious hardware in the HD2 to make everyone happy.

Everything but the Memory

The HD2 is jam packed with great hardware that makes it a powerful smart phone. The Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor makes everything run smoothly, even the clunky Windows Mobile operating system. Expect insignificant load times and no slow downs in graphic intensive programs. If you are familiar with the HTC Touch, consider the HD2 as its big bad cousin. The only problem with the HD2’s specifications is that it only has 512MB of internal memory, forcing you to rely a lot on the microSD transflash card slot for storing larger files and media.

HD2 Hardware Specifications

The HTC HD2 has support for HSDPA and GSM network bands (similar to its Asian release counterpart). It will connect to EDGE, GPRS, 3G HSDPA and wireless LAN networks. It has GPS capabilities and is supported by HTC’s navigations services such as HTC Footprints, Digital Compass and the NaviPanel.

Thanks to the large screen of the HD2, you can use this mobile smart phone as your navigation device while driving. It also has Bluetooth device compatibility allowing you to use hands free headsets for greater freedom of movement. The external casing of the HD2 carries a nice black finish with texture that is easy to hold. At 0.43 inches thick, it’s slim enough to fit into most pockets.

Software Specifications

HTC has also designed integrated applications for Facebook, Twitter and YouTube allowing users to instantly access their accounts for quick updates. The HTC Sense is very easy to use and thanks to the capacitive touch screen, it responds quickly to commands. We are still going to see if it has been modified for multi touch input as well.

You should check out some of the fantastic HTC HD2 contracts if this phone is of interest to you. Best Mobile Contracts are a good place to look as they are the UK’s leading mobile phone price comparison website. They also compare mobile broadband ensuring that you are always connected.

Tower defense games have been around for a long time, they have been available for years and years and have entertained people for hours at end. And since a week or so there is an amazing version of tower defense that works perfectly on your windows mobile WVGA/VGA device. If you don’t already know what a tower defense game is, enemies spawn on your screen that have to go through a map towards your base and damage it. You as the commander of this base have to defend your base by placing towers on the map that fire at the enemies. So far Tower Defense seems one of the most fun games that has graced Windows Mobile so far.

When you start the game, gradually enemies start walking from one side of the map to the other trying to reach your base. When you are unable to stop the enemies from entering your base and doing their damage you lose health. When 20 enemies land in your base you have lost the battle and have failed has a supreme commander of your base’ defense. As said you have to place towers in the way or on the way of the enemies moving to your home base to stop them. In this Windows Mobile WVGA game you have the option between 6 difference towers to place in your defense. All towers have different aspects and do a different type of damage to the incoming enemies. Although it is not very clear what kind of damage the towers do, So over time you learn what are the best combinations and you can act on that And it can be quite tedious to find a right mix of towers if this remains in the dark.

As you kill enemies with your mix of towers you gain more money, with this money you can either buy new towers or upgrade the towers you already have. Towers upgrade 2 times and they get better graphics and often increase in size, think of bigger guns, more guns, bigger flame thrower and such things.

The game features 2 levels that you can play and they both bring different type of strategy to this windows mobile game. There are 3 difficult levels and I would suggest starting out with the easy one unless you are a true tower defense veteran. Sound and music you can change in the options menu like most other games.. There is not a real option to save option for this Windows Mobile game but you can quit and resume your game later on. But if you decide to start a new game in the meanwhile there is no way to resume a game you started before that.

This game is one of the best and most fun games featured on the newer WVGA/VGA Windows Mobile devices you can find. Tower defense fanatic or not, you should really consider getting this game for your Windows Mobile phone, because it is one of the best games that has come out for Windows Mobile phones. The little downsides of this game include not being able to save different game and the fact that it’s not completely clear what the different towers do. These little things don’t bring the game down that much though and the game would get at least a 8 out of 10.
