Re: Thinking of installing SPB Mobile Shell

PLEASE tell me this is just some configuration issue. I have walked through all the menus I can find and I simply don't see anything that makes this $50 investment worth it. I see hardly ANY difference with the "phone suite" installed - except everything is now so slow it is hardly useable.

Help!!

Update: Things are getting worse including complete lockup of the phone requiring a hard restart!!! Buttons are too small to use it - even with the stylus. Program hangs all the time requiring soft restarts. Does not play well with S2U2 (a known issue requiring registry editing) Looking through the Spb website forums a lot of people are having host of similar problems with this program on the Omnia.

I get the feeling this was a BAD idea.
I run SPB mobile shell on my Omnia and its probably the best 'today' replacement i have found so far
ifonz (dont like, if i wanted to look like an iphone i would have bought an iphone)
WAD (quite like it, but found the configuration a bit annoying)
M2D (had this for a while and do like it, but replaced with SPB)

Use the imarche skins found here - http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.php
also use SPBWatcher and have this the only running thing in the 'Today' settings.
