SPB Mobile Shell = Heaven on the Intrepid

This prog really makes the intrepid a usable phone..no more lame windows "today" screen that you can't customize and add new shortcuts etc.. It becomes your default screen...you can still access the windows today screen if you want some stress.

It has a great scrolling main page that's quick and easy to tweak.. I was able to squeeze all the stuff I use frequently onto the first page.

The call log is 10 times better than the windows standard also.

Download the trial here:

if you like it..pm if u want details on the no cost option

Might be better to show a screenshot on the actual Intrepid QVGA display.

I would but I have no idea how to do a screen shot..plus a screen shot doesn't do justice to how cool all the scrolling is

Does the trial expire? I downloaded/installed and I LOVE it. I am interested in the expiration and the website doesn't say.

yes the trial will expire, it's worth fooling with while it's free to help make a decision.

personally like it very much and purchased it for my Treo Pro. The usage is almost as dramatic as going from DOS to Windows or OS/2... it's a gui and not a text menu anymore, as anyone that has tried it knows.

Yep..loving it! What a difference.
3d messaging slows things down..but just keep that off and everything else runs fine
love getting photos directly from Facebook, the weather, widgets

great replacement for the winmo6.5 defaults

Ya I got it and LOVE it! I use that in combination with S2U2 and the phone is finally quite usable. For some reason it makes the touchscreen more responsive too. Now if I could only modernize the sms a (don't like the one that comes with SPB), and find out why sometimes I can't hang up a call without a soft reset (hoping it's a bug that Samsung'll fix in the next update).

I got it very soon after I got my Intrepid and I love it as well and I agree that the touchscreen seems more responsive. I took some pics of screen shots but the upload requirements here are max 19.5 KB for jpegs and resizing them doesn't seem to do the trick of lowering that. Any suggestions so that I can put them here?

jillbiz, you have photoshop or some kind of editing software? Very easy to reduce the file size. First make the image dimensions what you want (320x240), then save as a JPG and compress the image to 19 kb. Might not be pretty but it'll give an idea of the layout.

so S2U2 is an important addition? didn't want to try it unless i hear it's workign well on an intrepid
any settings you needed to adjust?
