Fritz mobile or Hiarcs mobile for Samsung

Post by hokaro »

Hi everyone...

I wonder if you can install hiarcs mobile chess or fritz mobile on a Samsung cellphone...I want to buy a new cellphone, and I am considering a choice between Samsung S8000 Jet and HTC Touch 2...

Samsung Jet has a 800 MHz processor
HTC touch 2 has a 526 MHz processor

Samsung Jet is using Samsungs own operating system
HTC touch 2 is using windows mobile 6.5

what do you think, guys?

I am sure you would have to choose the HTC Touch 2.Fritz Mobile only gives access to PlayChess server so could possibly work on the Samsung.But to run Hiarcs Mobile you would need a Windows Mobile version, or Palm or iPhone system.

not on the Jet; this OS is not supported by Fritz or Hiarcs resp. CEBoard (needed to run Hiarcs under WinMo)

So i would recommend a Windows Mobile Smartphone like the HTC or the Samsung Omnia series...

i don't have any of these, so i can't tell for sure, if they are working ok with these programs (but they should :wink: )
