"Keep it Simple...Stupid"
The more you overwhelm your ppc with programs, the lesser stable you'll find it, the faster the battery will drain and the more sluggish it'll become.
Having said that, I would like to approach this from another POV:
I have realized with my experience with Warez PPC apps is that people will generally download it and use it just for the sake of having it. When I first bought my 6700 I felt excited at the endless possibilities of all the programs free or not that I can get my hands on. Little did I find satisfaction in that.
I have also realized that availability of freeware out there supercedes my need for any shareware programs and I'm a pretty demanding user! There's literally a freeware counterpart to every paid program out there and so PPC users shouldn't be pirating these programs just so they can have them or say they have them. In fact, it's 8 months after I first got my 6700 and 80% plus of the apps I use are freeware and work just as well or better than their shareware counterparts.
I'm not against shareware and I respect developers' attempt at honest business, but I, first and foremost support the open source and/or concept of freeware.
For many shareware product and what it does, there's a freeware program (or multiple ones) that performs in the nearly the same manner:
1. Smartskey -> None really
2. Tomtom GPS, iguidance, etc -> Live Search, Gmaps
3. Pocketbreeze/Diary -> Calendar+, O2 Calendar
4. Memmaid -> Dot Fred Task Manager
5. Phonealarm -> O2 Sound Profiles
6. Pocket Player/Core Player -> MortPlayer/TCPMP
5. Internet Sharing -> PDAnet
6. claunch/02 Shortcuts -> ilauncher
7. Cyberon -> MS Voice Command
8. Hubdog, etc -> Egress
And the list goes on. Obviously, there are some features you want to utilize that aren't available in free programs and at the end of the day it shouldn't cost you much more to satisfy those by purchasing those programs.
The bottom line is to think twice before downloading and using a pirated app. Most likely you don't need it.
And, the list goes on and on.
