If the Stellar has the HTC home screen as per the Vario III, just rotate the screen before launching Tomtom as this works perfectly.

Rotate in the system settings or by extending the keyboard?

Is it me, or is viewing PDFs on these devices a pain in the ass?

By the time I zoom right into a level where I can read the text, Im so zoomed in that it take me ages to scroll across the page.

Whats your experiences of PDFs using such devices?

My old Vario II (Tytn) always seemed to be very slow at viewing PDFs, whether with Adobe or other third party clients

If you have the HTC home screen then in the Launcher menu is a short cut to rotate the screen.

Which you can assign to a button within Settings

Hmm I have the O2 version, would I be able to access this feature? I cant seem to find it anywhere apart manually setting it up as always being a certain orientation.

I only have a TyTn v1, so this may be slightly different. Both are on Windows Mobile 6 though, so I don't see why it would be.

I think that all versions of the TyTn II comewith it pre-installed, but otherwise have a google for the HTC Home plug-in. (not sure if I can link to it here?)

Once you have installed that, go to 'Buttons' menu within 'Settings'.

Under 1. select the button that you would like to use to change the screen rotation. (The 'press and hold' buttons might be the best, so that you don't accidentally rotate the screen by tapping a button)
Then under 2., select the <Rotate Screen> option.
Click ok, and you're done.

Thanks AdWright.
Does putting the HTC plugin erase O2's "front page" ?

Also, is there a way to disable GPRS and HSDPA? Sometimes it kicks in when Im browsing the web on WiFi and I dont want it to, but it is very persistant! (I dont want to get charged for that!)
