Here is a screen shot of my Intrepid...

OK I have SPB Mobile Shell installed. Is there any way of changing the windows button to launch one of the SPB panels instead of the classic winmo6.5 programs panel? The buttons setting only allows a few settings to be changed, e.g. it allowed me to change the classic task manager to the SPB task manager perfectly. But how do I fix everything else? The wireless manager is another I'd like to switch but don't know how to do it.

the 6.5 screen is so boring it makes me want to die.
spb shell is where its at. try to get 3.5.2 if you can..because 3.5.3 has some bugs..
go to spbclub.com and they talk about it there.

All i know is that if it wasnt for spb, i would have ebayed my intrepid.

Thing I hate most on the Intrepid is the radio gets turned off too easily. When I hang up from a call, if I press the "end" button a little too long, the phone turns off its radio without me knowing it.

Does installing SPB mobile shell help with this issue?

Or if anyone knows of a reg hack or .cab file to fix the radio turning off problem, please let me know.

Thanks!

It's not a problem, it's by design; most WM phones do this. You should not need to press and hold the end key to end a call. One quick press will do. The key is to give the phone time to hang up. Typically there is a delay of 5 seconds (seems like an eternity) between when I tap the red end key and the call actually disconnects. Just be patient.

well i have used windows mobile for about 7 years. i never really felt any of the replacement shells offered enough to make it worth the cost. that all changed with this phone and more importantly 6.5. i do like 6.5 i think it was a big improvement but as most have stated here they didn't go far enough and the home screen is just a tease of what it could be in my opinion. Given that and given the end of year discounts i decided to splurge and get it. I love it. It really does make the phone more usable and even more fun.

Agreed. $30 was too steep IMO. Titanium isn't great, but it's usable. The 50% discount was far too good a deal to pass up.

the coolest download I have installed on my intrepid to date.

Any idea if this will go on sale again?

I downloaded/installed it yesterday and it's great... but not for $30.

i contacted them directly and i think they might hook me up for 50% off. I told them I was impressed but didnt want to spend $30 I said I could justify spending $15 they LOL'ed and said they would get back to me. I really want it but dont want to spend 30 to get it. Im cheap what can I say.
