It is a hardware specification for a handheld-sized computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), that runs the Microsoft ' Windows Mobile Classic' operating system. Thankfully, you no longer have to use the tiny scroll bar to navigate through the menu instead, you can flick the screen to scroll to the bottom.A Pocket PC ( P/PC, PPC) is also known by Microsoft as a 'Windows Mobile Classic device'. Move preferred icons to the top by pressing down on them for a few seconds. You can customize the Start menu with a background image and add more widgets and applications to it via the Microsoft Marketplace.
The Windows Mobile Start screen displays your icons in a honeycomb pattern. Upcoming appointments or new e-mails will show up on this screen. Like other Window Mobile phones, you can sync the Glisten with your Outlook calendar and e-mail account. Scrolling through this screen on phones with larger displays is a much smoother experience again, I found the 2.5-inch display cramped. When you first turn on the phone, you’re greeted with the Today screen, which lists shortcuts to your text messages, e-mail accounts, photos, music and more. While version 6.5 is a big improvement in usability over 6.0, it is still difficult to navigate–especially on a touchscreen this small. Unlike with the Samsung Omnia 2 or the HTC Tilt 2, there’s no touch-friendly or aesthetically pleasing overlay running over the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS. And unfortunately, this great screen seems sort of wasted on the lackluster user interface. The touch display was fairly responsive, but I sometimes found that it reacted slowly to my gestures and swipes. AMOLED technology boasts brighter colors, better viewing angles, and longer battery life.
The Glisten has a gorgeous AMOLED touch display, though it’s a bit small.
