Hi guys, im new here and im sad to say that i am not too computer savvy.. I just got my touch pro 2 from Sprint and im doing my best to understand all of this. Does Sprint not offer any apps for the TP2 or is it b/c it is new and they arent out yet, or am i just an idiot? I would like to change the theme on my device but the software store says there are none available. I will do my best to go search this website to see what i can find. Does it make a difference if the TP2 is Sprint or Verizon? Thanks for the help and sorry to be so ignorant. Thanks

I don't know how many themes are out for our phones yet, but there is a themes section here in the TP2 section, and there is a themes section in the general ppc info section of the forums. I don't believe they are carrier specific.

The phone currently comes with windows mobile 6.1. Many of us are eagerly waiting for the promised release of windows mobile 6.5 which is dependent on your carrier's speed.

That said I'm Verizon and I know they have a app store sorta like the iphone for windows mobile 6.5 when this upgrade is released. Not sure what Sprint has to offer.

Other than that you find programs(.cab) on here and xda-developers.com to install. Lots of trial and error. Windows mobile phones are very customizable and offer many options other operating systems don't.

You can find CAB files for a lot of neat applications, most of which are freeware. Just search here and on google and you'll find it. There's an app for almost anything! (Do I sound like a commercial?)

Also, you can install Marketplace for Windows Mobile which is essentially an app store programs that puts free and for pay apps on your phone to select and download. It's actually a very neat little app itself and has a large variety of programs to find.
