SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATIONS (WM6.5 Edition)
Here's ALL the applications that I actively use on my phone... yeah, it's a short list... what can I say, I'm a business user, not a consumer user, lol.
Contact Changer -- Allows conversion of your entire Contacts list to either "FirstName LastName" or "LastName, FirstName" format.
Facebook -- Facebook Mobile app. Sure it's posted elsewhere, but this is for convenience to new users... install the latest version through Marketplace, because one baked into stock is old and buggy.
HTC Task Manager -- WTF was HTC/Sprint thinking when they agreed to remove the Quick Tray task manager?! Anyway, here it is back and ready for action.
Lock Device -- Lightweight utility that enables the Windows Mobile lockscreen to activate when the display shuts off. Very very recommended!
Microsoft Bing -- Bing Search is an updated version of Live Search (which is included in the stock ROM)... install the latest version through Marketplace.
Microsoft Font Pack -- A collection of common fonts (and bold/italic/underline variants) for use with email and web site formatting. Arial, Calibri, Cambria, Comic Sans, Segoe UI, Times Roman, and Trebuchet.
PHM RegEdit -- A great registry editor for manual edits.
Spb Screenshot -- A simple screenshot utility for taking screenshots of your phone. I usually set it as my press-and-hold-talk shortcut.
Total Commander -- Popular file management and registry utility.
Windows Live for Mobile -- For those with a Windows Live Hotmail account, this is a must have... install the latest version through Marketplace.
Microsoft MyPhone -- Microsoft's MyPhone Sync application, a perfect utility for those who don't have/need Exchange/ActiveSync connections. Offers automatic scheduled backup syncs for information as well. Highly recommended... install the latest version through Marketplace.
Yes I have finally dumped Spb Mobile Shell in favor of Sense UI 2.5... for now. I've even dumped S2U2 in favor of the default lock... for now. Subject to change, but I don't see myself going back to Spb Mobile Shell since I HATE 3.5.x.
