That sounds a lot like my New Years resolutions...you've left yourself some wiggle room since you're only resolving to quit every other day. I'm finally down to every other hour...

I've tried absolutely EVERYTHING I could get my hands on in the last month and a half. I was able to convince myself to buy about $200 worth of add-ons justifying them as "essential". But after adding this and removing that and then doing it over and over, I'm finding, like you, that I am very hard pressed to find add-ons that really enhance the stock Sprint Touch.

I am a sales rep and have a database of about 4500 contacts that I work with and am on an Exchange server through work and a geek at home with his own Exchange setup...so I have some fairly sophisticated contact management and e-mail needs. Here are the only apps I think I will be re-loading tonight:

* Pocket Informant
* PocketCM
* OggSync
* S2U2 (A/C's awesome "ooops protection" program!)
* TouchPal Pro (now that you can compress the size, it rocks!)
* Conduits PocketPlayer (I use Napster, need the DRM support)
* <Still Debating on which RSS Reader...suggestions welcome!>

The geek in me is contemplating:

* CubeConfig 4.1
* iCube
* Resco File/Registry Managers
* MemMaid
* SKTools

But I want to stay away from the geek apps if possible because I end up spending TENS of hours a week messing around with the customizations instead of actually DOING things with my Touch. I love messing around with my Touch, but in the end, you are absolutely right that they got the basic feature set nearly dead on!

DAMN...This is going to be hard to do! Anyone know of any support groups for this kind of thing?
