The Touch Pro2 "Must Have" Application List...
 

I have had the Touch Pro2 for a bit now and have been loading several of my favorite applications on the device. I wanted to provide some feedback and maybe also gather some feedback from those who have been installing applications. I hope by the time our brothers down in the States get their Touch Pro2 units they'll have a good place to start for applications.

Here's what I have installed so far:

Garmin XT 5.0 - all I'll say is why would one need a GPS in his car or a standalone device with this beautiful screen! It is absolutely fantastic!

Total Commander - needless to say - it's the standard...
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm

Speed Booster - my overall application speed has increased - its rather nice!
http://teksoftco.com/

Bing - I like it for basic movie listings and general directions

Advanced Config - easy modifications without the heartburn of registry hacking

Communicator Mobile - this is only good if you have a OCS Server but it's great needless to say!

SOTI Pro - great for controlling your Touch Pro2 from your desktop... they updated the skins for the TP2! :)

CorePlayer - a must have for all video playback!
Optimal Bit Rate for MP4 (H.264) = Resolution 640x288

Flash on your TP2 with Opera Mobile 9.5 and 9.7

ONE file to install - all settings and cab optimized.

There's plenty more out there so all the other Telus (and European/Asian/General Unlocked) users of the TP2 may want to add their favorites.

Hope this thread is useful for you!

This is a clean-up tool for Outlook - duplicate contacts, missing information, naming convention... very good application if you have over 350+ contacts in POUT/Outlook like I do :-S

How does the Slingplayer look on the TP2?

I am getting my TP2 Oct 1 (that's when my 150.00 rebate becomes valid), and I am wondering if it fits nicely.

Re: The Touch Pro2 "Must Have" Application List...
 

It is a double sword. So far, only used it a few times on the TP2. I can say unlike the Mogul days the picture is smooth which is similar to the TP. Very happy with the performance. The bad news - they are not yet supporting the screen size. Even in vertical mode the picture is small. I plan to go back to the sling web site to see if there is another windows version for a phone with a similar screen size and see if it is improved.

Anyone else solve the screen size issue? All TP2 mobile Sling users should email sling so they know they have a customer base they need to support.
