So I just ordered my HTC Touch from sprint and im wondering what would you guys suggest my out of the box routine be for it as far as apps / roms install? I have no problem paying for apps so don't hold back only listing free ones.

I want:
-Iphone style web browser or closest to it.
-GPS that has voice navigation
-AIM client.
-Any type of myspace mobile client? (yeah, i switched to sprint from Helio)
-None busted looking homescreen. (point UI any good for this?)
-Remote desktop program
-TV client (im guessing slingbox?)
-Default keyboard replacement for easy/fast onscreen typing
-Stock checker program. (something I can open and it will automaticlly refresh a few set stocks)
-dialer skins
-phone as modem app
-MUST have registry tweaks.


I had the AT&T 8125 in the past running win mobile 5. That experience was horrible. I hope this one is a lot better.


Thanks in advance.

-Iphone style web browser or closest to it.
opera or opera mini

-GPS that has voice navigation
you need to d/l the Windows Mobile 6.1 update (not necessarily the official release but the only way to get GPS) and then you'll have to buy a turn-by turn voice navigation client. I use tomtom. Works great.

-AIM client.
jivetalk beta. smoothest GUI of any out there, and very touch friendly

-Any type of myspace mobile client? (yeah, i switched to sprint from Helio)
opera or opera mini

-None busted looking homescreen. (point UI any good for this?)
do a search, depends on your preference

-Remote desktop program
do a search (no idea)

-TV client (im guessing slingbox?)
do a search (slingbox costs $$$)

-Default keyboard replacement for easy/fast onscreen typing
the 6.1 update comes with a new keyboard, trust me nothing's going to be easy/fast typing until you get used to the touch

-Stock checker program. (something I can open and it will automaticlly refresh a few set stocks)
do a search (no idea)

-dialer skins
do a search, there's a billion out there

registry hacks? do a search.


Not sure if you've gotten the memo or not, but it does tend to help if you search as all of these topics have been beaten to death, if not here over at ppcgeeks.com which is another great site to browse and find answers at. but use the search function first.

Try building your own ROM from ppckitchen.org. They make it so easy and have so many apps and games to choose from including a bunch of today plugins. Follow the directions on the site about unlocking/upgrading bootloader, radio, etc... Make sure to follow directions EXACTLY as it is stated.
Its a big list, you choose what you wan't in your rom, and all you do is press play and it builds it for you! Believe me you will love it.
