I think I'm beginning to get on the right track. I received my new HTC Mogul, charged it, got it activated, and started getting familiar with it. I installed the ActivSync 4.5 Software as the manual suggested but haven't synced the device with my computer because I'm not necessarily sure why I'd want to considering I don't use Microsoft Outlook.

I discovered ThemeGenCE 2.5 through a helpful thread here that includes a great step-by-step tutorial on how to use this nifty theme creating program. Installing the program on my computer (which is where you'll be constructing your theme) was very easy. You can find the software on the web by doing a simple search. I'll be messing with this Baby as soon as I know my phone is ready for modding.

Towards that end, I verified through the HTC website (go to the Support link) that my phone has the latest ROM. I'm just not certain yet if I'm running Windows Mobile 6 or 6.1. Any way to find out?

I discovered that if you have a Windows Live account (which you do if you have a Hotmail or MSN email address), you can use the phone's included Windows Live Services application to import your email contacts into your phone's Contact List, thus saving you from manually entering every contact you have. I'm still experimenting somewhat with this feature, because I'm not sure what happens when you add, delete, or change information about a contact. Anyone want to share their experience at this?

Matt suggested in a previous message here that I could find a lot of step-by-step tutorials on getting my phone prepared and souped up for modding. He said the link was next to his signature, but the only active link near his signature is the "edit signature" link, which isn't it. Is there something wrong with my account?

Thank you all for your support as I slowly work my way through getting the Diamond Interface.

Yours,
Ren
