Yeah, I kinda figured that... If someone wrote a program to open CAB files on android systems, that would be awesome, lol... Like an emulator? lol

ok i got my hero today (wooohoooo) after fighting it to sync with outlook (for about 4 hours) i finally get up and running smoothly and am adding things to it and adjust ringtones and all that fun stuff. i suddenly came to a screeching halt when i try to find a place to put a ringtone in for categories.... there is no option to put ringtones on categories???? is there an app to make it do that?

Get a file manager like Astro File Explorer..it works great for me especially for finding files like custom ringtones..Just make a new folder when u mount your hero with your PC..Label it ringtones, disconnect your phone from the Pc, go to programs and find Astro File Explorer and wallah your folder with all your ringtones and everything else on your sd card

Key Ring for the win. I hate those cards, I always forget or lose those cards. Not anymore! I scanned all my cards in, but I haven't tested in the store yet.

I have been enjoying:

KeePassDroid - A KeePass Password safe client for Android
Meebo IM - IM client
Twidrod - For twitter, much faster then Peep
Astro File Manager
Useful Switchers - 'Quick' toggle settings like WiFi, GPS, Ringer volume. But I think it takes to long to load, when there are free alternatives.
Android Irc - A usable android irc client. Never found one I liked for WM
Taskiller
Shop Savvy

I'm dieing to get the Sprint junk off my pretty new phone...

i'll admit it

i use it, but not by choice. a lot of my customers are nascar fans so i have the app set up on my phone more to show the app than to show the phone but alas, probably not a good enough excuse....

Not yet, they are on ROM. Until it's rooted we may be able to remove the shortcut, but I haven't looked into it.

Hey all, is there an app that plays .wmv files? I have ripped a bunch of my movies into PDAWMV format for my TP2 but now have the Hero. If not, what format do I need to have my movies in?
