Well welcome to the world of knowledge...depending on how familar you are with the operation of Win Mo, if you are a little less experienced I'd start by reading this:http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Get...Windows_Mobile

That is a resourceful "Newb Guide" to Win Mo...

Here is a valuable how to on flashing incase you get into that..http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17473

If you mean on the Vogue, while Android has been successfully ported it is still quite buggy and takes some getting use to because it makes every button on your phone do different things...Just my opinion...

well I have a Mogul or Titan (It has like 2 different names.) but i really liked the SPB Keyboard. It covers the whole screen and can vibrate after the buttons are touched.

S2U2 - What is S2U2?
S2U2 (Slide2Unlock2) is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don't use your device. It has a CallerID function.

Touch Commander - Touch Commander Suite lets you browse your Pocket PC Phone with a sweep of a finger across the screen, like in the latest most popular devices. Make quick calls to photo contacts, start apps, browse folders, get and send SMS, view photos and video with a touch. I like this because it has a very nice "Battery Meter" feature

Skyfire - A very good mobile browser, lets you play flash also(:

Pandora - Free internet radio

Also I added some CAB files

Touch_Response - Makes the screen vibrate when you touch it

HTC Diamond Keyboard - Very nice keyboard

GAlarm - Very nice alarm app, havent had a problem with it, also it has a lot of nice features

well this is just my .02 hope you enjoy your new touch

m2d touchflo makes it easier to listen to songs and browse the device

core player or tcpmp to use with youtube and orb

beejive for the best aim messaging

s2u2 as mentioned before for a great phone lock +

Good Luck and have fun!!

depends on if you are a user or not, but the new version of skype is quite good and stable on the vogue.
