htc s710 being delivered - excited - recommendations for software ?

[colonel]

Hi,

this is my first WM6 phone. I guess some of the software I would have normally loaded on a WM5 or 2003 phone might now be redundant.

Would appreciate if folk would relay their experiences on:
1. Useful Utility software
2. Games that work well
3. How is MS Live - is there any point in IM+ ?

much appreciated

Just received mine !! you won't be disappointed. I'll let you know if I find software that works well.

I have just installed Facade and Papyrus from sbsh.net, relly nice apps that make the homepage and calendar much better. Papyrus does not work in landscape mode yet though, maybe an update will come out soon.

For surfing i use Opera mini, much nicer than internet explorer.

does Opera mini just run on java (so its not a WM app.) ?

Hi,

yes it runs on Java, so you first have to start java, then opera. Maybe it's possible to start java with opera directly somehow.

Mine is being delivered today as well :). I plan to try the new version of IM+ in which they FINALLY added an autoconnect feature that will reconnect the client after a phone call. Before I had to manually reconnect the program. If it works I'll definitely post a follow up.

Though I wish there was a sms thread app like the palm version for the treo.

hi

indeed theres a app similar to the palm messaging.

there is also txtman, wich looks better but crashes every time a sms is recieved...

Qthreader works well, so enjoy...

[madds]

forget to mention, despite working well there is some flaws... :S

some characters are displayng incorrectly in sent and recieved sms's (me think's that it must have something to do with unicode suport).

but try it... nothing to lose (except hope for threaded sms app)

Just tested IM+ on a trial basis and had some trouble with it. Although it runs in landscape and portrait mode, it can't switch between the modes once its started already. If you start in portrait mode and switch to landscape it remains unscaled or view looks somewhat messed up. If you go back to the mode it started in then it looks perfectly fine.

Gonna try the Qthreaded app though.

Ahh.. I see that the latest version should support landscape, need to upgrade...
