With HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, D/mouse-pad, Bluetooth, etc, this slim pda phone is excellently value for money. Yeah, nothing is perfect, there’s a small problem with this device. The camera comes with shutter sound by default without an option to disable it. Yes, i can change the sound, but can not turn it off.

Nevertheless, i can’t disable the Shutter, Start and End sound.. Yeah, No options are available for disabling them. Fortunately, after Googling , i was able to solve this small problem. After installing a registry editor, i can run command in Windows Mobile 6.1 to run regedit to edit the REG keys.
