Hacking the HTC s640 (Iris) and Windows Mobile 6

HTC S640 showing a theme design in progressI grabbed a new HTC S640 (codename Iris) smartphone last week. It’s a great phone, but not without its problems.

Aside from the obvious setback of making a Windows Mobile device play nicely with Linux, there is also a notable lack of community support for this device. This is due mostly to the fact that the HTC S640 is exclusive to Telus Mobility–a rather small demographic, globally speaking.

Since good information has been so hard to find, I have added a HTC S640 Iris and Windows Mobile 6 Hacks page to the Projects section. With any luck, Google will figure out I’m just about the only website with S640-specific tips and information. I’ve also added an HTC S640 directory to the files section for miscellaneous Iris and Windows Mobile 6 stuff.

    You’ve caught me slacking! Actually, I have found a number of excellent sites (mostly forums) with some great tips and hacks. I just haven’t gotten around to adding more info to the hacks page. I’ll try to get some updates in before school starts again.
