Must-have applications for Omnia
1. SPB Mobile Shell (
www.spbsoftwarehouse.com )
This gives me a quicker menu and touch-friendly interface for accessing absolutely all the functions, programs and settings in the phone in a nice looking way. And best of all, it's very customizable.
2. Omnia Skin Package (
http://www.changeskin.net/ )
Skins for SPB Mobile Shell (also with Omnia skin ). These skins give comm manager by pressing top of
the screen, and adds functionality to the phone's menu. I think it's actually 3 weeks since last time i
saw the nasty WM style (or should i say windows 95 style) menus that u usually see when u open the
start menu and go to programs or settings...
3. S2U2 (
www.ac-s2.com )
This is a great app that lets u lock the phone iphone style. (I don't like it because it looks like the
iphone, but because it's great to use, quick to unlock, and it looks great. It also shows weather and
upcoming apointments when locked )
4. S2P (
www.ac-s2.com )
Music player that integrates with S2U2 and also has great (AND QUICK) kinetic scrolling, but is much
simpler than the touch player. No playlists, but it's under developement.
5. Resco Explorer (
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp )
File Browser that supports finger scrolling and is touch optimized. It also let's u map network drives etc.
This one is a MUST. Free trial available.
6. TouchCommander's Touch Task Manager (
http://www.touch-commander.com/task-manager/ )
This program makes the x-button exit apps instead of minimizing. Also, i have baound this to the menu
button to pull up the nice task manager that shows running programs, and amount of free ram...
Alternative: waku WkTASK
Little app that makes the x button actually EXIT apps ( i really dont understand why this wouldent be
default setting in windows!!?). This also lets you press and hold the X for minimize and other options.
And shows running apps along the start-bare like in win xp/vista
7. Ageye G-Alarm (
http://www.ageye.de/ )
Great alarm app. I can never trust the WinMo alarm to wake me up, but this thing works. It's also touch
optimized, lets you create many alarms, that repeat on chosen weekdays, and you can set up a playlist
of sounds to wake you up or make them random. Also features a labyrinth you have to complete with
the tilt sensor in order to turn of the alarm. really cool alarm
8. ThumbCal (
http://www.thumbapps.com/pages/home/...al.php?lang=DE )
Replacement for the calender so you can even use this feature without digging out the stylus
Keeps all the functionality, but looks hell-of-a-lot better than WinMo's default (as usual when it comes
to microsoft).
9. Vito SMS Chat (
http://vitotechnology.com/en/product...messaging.html )
Gives you a conversation based, stylish sms app, with nice "new-message" notifications and nice
design. Same reason as above mainly..
10. Vito FunContact (
http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/funcontact.html )
Phonebook matching the sms chat.
11. SPB GPRS Monitor (
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/ )
Well, this isen't a must-have, and iv'e just installed it, but it's nice to see how much you spend using IM, weather
forecasts and all the other things i started using on this phone
