I'm not sure if this is were I'm supposed to ask, but it seems to be the most suitable place.
Anyway, are there any Music Identifiers for WM that are actually good for WM6? I had MusicID but it sucked IMHO. And on top of that it won't work on my Omnia anymore for some reason.
So basically, I just want to know if there are any good ones like Midomi, or if there's some in development for WM6. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
musicid just to be great, but now it doesnt really seem to work
an alternative would be cool

Hi Wizkidz, Magician Junkies, HTC Hacking Staff, and all!
Is there possible to put Linux OS to the Magician? If so, I can do it in the same way like BA? I want to try it, but I'm not sure it is possible, and if it is, will it be stable?
Waiting for replies....

Thanks for the link.
I've already saw it somewhere, but I'm not sure that is possible on Magician. You know that a lot of PDAs supports WM5 but Magician isn't. So I think it is possible on some devices, but not sure on Magician.
Any experiences?
I don't know about those guys, but I've found a "good try":

If you follow that, it boots graphical GPE and you have access to a number of applications.
The touchscreen works, but the whole thing is quite unstable on my pda - the apps keep crashing on launch - and AFAIK there is absolutely no support for phone capabilities. The sound driver is also gone. Bluetooth seems to work out of the box.
But as I said, it looks like a nice try, with a lot of potencial.
My sister has been asking me for a while to find her first electronic organizer, but knowing her I can't give something too techy and complicated. She will barely connect it to her PC very often.
Main requirements are : calendar, notes and I suppose contacts.
Camera is a plus.
Do you know of an "easy" girly phone, that is not too geek like most of the ones we have ?
like the equivalent of the Palm Zire for instance, these ones were just doing the basics if you didn't look behind the shell.
thanks.
Does she want WM5, Palm, Symbian? Does it need to have a phone and if so does it need to be 3G?
Maybe something like HP iPaq 1950?
It is a WM5 device but it's one of the basic ones, no phone / GPS / BT (has WIFI though).
It's pretty stable so no need for "tech" stuff if you only want to use it as an organizer and it is very compact.
Plus if she wants to add some games or something later that will work too.
Don't underestimate women. My beautiful wife (yes she dose read this forum ) has had XDAI, XDAII and atom. She is not very good with understanding how computers work but still manages to work all the features of ppc's. The main question would probably be the price. Here the HP version of the atom (I can't remember name) is probably the cheapest pda phone and its got all the features.
Well, I'm not sure about your sis, but as far as I know, girls look for looks on things they use. So, probably the Zire22 are small and girlish enough for her to use. I personally used both Palm and Windows PDA. In organiser wise, I find Palm's builtin PIM is better and clearer. However, unless you get the advance version of Palm PDA (eg TX), your sis maybe having problem with the handwriting 'mechanism'.
Anyway, for Windows based PDA, I think it is very basic anyway. You just key in the required field without the need to know other things. If you are to use the PIM without much of your personal requirement, you won't need to do things like reg hack And, I find that girls can seems to tolerate things that they don't know (eg, they hardly customize a PC, though they seems to like to customize a bf). The most they want to do is to make them look pink.
Ask your sis, which PDA she likes (eg the looks and size, and colour) and it may help you in choosing. Let her have a look on the PalmZ22, as I remember, there are `converted` wives with Z22. It doesn't have a camera though.

I agree with Hanmin
the look is more important,
I will check with her first of all.
I used a Palm for years before PPC and yes.. I forgot about the letter recognition :-(
thanks for your help guys !
if u want phone capibility and camera and ability to choose the colour of the device (it comes in white, red, orange, and silver) go with the upcoming treo 680.....its palmOS based though..
i think for a very basic user windows mobile is not good. for example activesync and hotsync......
Hum, in my mind the choice will be hard
Bring her in a shop and show her the main differences about capabilites, look and ... prices...
Sometime we want a very simple things but when we discover advanced features, we want ALL ! A geek is sleeping in all of us
Have a look at the o2 Stealth.
Just wondering, any updates on this? What is the one she chosen ?
Hi all,
Is there a sort of a Registry Wizard (the kind that let you enable/disable features by drop down menus) available for WM6? I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere
Me too
I am looking for the latest version too.
RegWiz
must admit I noticed the wm6 roms dont tend to have it. Saves hacking the reg by hand doesnt it.
ive just used the old one and it works just fine. i use it mostly to turn off the message sent crap. Havent had any problems with it at all.
Guys,
Check it out Tweaks2k2. I've been using since WM5 and works fine over WM6. It's all compatible.

Yeah thats a nice program but it also cost money. And at the rate i flash phones just not economical for me. Registry wizard works awesome with the WM6 Roms.
Not sure where this fits, but does anybody know of an iPhone skin that is completely compatible with WM6? All that I've seen are WM5 ones that require re-linking in the text file to be compatible with new app names and whatnot of WM6.
I know that's a simple thing to do, but I'd prefer a turnkey solution, if one is available.
Thanks in advance,
I have a new phone! Sadly until my providers move my numbers I can't use it! Obviously I can easily forward all calls but can I forward all my txts? Any help much appreciated!
Try this

that looks just the ticket except i get errors and it doesnt work
You should provide more information.
Do you have a WM Pro or Standard device? WM5 or WM6.1?
If you have a WM Professional device you might take a look at MagiCall. It's not freeware. But very versatile!
sory yes i should have, its an htc excalibur running WM6

it is pretty good, but it is stoped working for no reason. You have to restart the application.
