Hi guys,
I am new here so hello fellow D2 users!
I was after essential software for the D2. So far I only have the standard stuff like google maps, word, excel etc, that came with the phone.
What are your favorite programs that you deem essential for the D2?
Thanks so much.
(1) dictionary
(2) regedit S/W
(3) GPS program like Map King

Thank you wenxi, it is appreciated.
Can you recommend particular programs for the three?
Also is Google Maps not good enough, compared to map king.
Is there actually some kind of App Store, like on the Iphone only for Windows Mobile?
Thanks

yes every day there is the same question and thing I'm doing, looking to the web for news about new MS mobile devices..and now thinking about buying the Vox. But the only thing so far I couldn't live with is that there should be big delay when opening or closing the keyboard.
How do you rate this?
Its a few seconds...maybe more if you have many apps running in the backround, but then everything runs slow when thats happening on any WM device... dosent bother me...

To be honest in my opinion its not as bad as other make it seem, as long you keep tabs on the programs you have running in the background every now and not running with only 1mb free memory then you shouldn't have a problem. One tip you can try is disabling the sound it plays when switching views in the settings. Made the switch slightly faster in my opinion.
Without the Sound it is maybe 2 times faster..
thanks guys for your prompt answers!!
Do you have a clou whether the important progs like PocketInformant or AgendaOne are running without problems in landscape mode?

I use AgendaOne and I haev not had an issue with it switching orientation. However Documents to Go has a problem as does SmartPhoneNotes - they will not fill the screen, you get a scroll-bar on the righe, pretty much making it still portrate..

hi John
I thought one doesn't need smartphonenotes anymore as WM6 should have its own notes taking application?
As well as Office Mobile (doc, xls, ppt) should be on board, isn't ?
I really don't see what the fuss is about speed of the screen rotation. Its not like it takes several minutes. Approx 1-3 seconds depending on what's running in the background is perfectly fine.
hi guys, I don't want to make the Vox bad, I'm asking because I had the same issue with HTC Hermes, which was also quite ok after I disabled the sound. It also depends on how many applications are installed, loaded in memory, how much memory is free etc. But reading one of the serious reviews like the one from mobile-review - I rather ask for opinions of users before I buy it.
Thank you all
Can somebody tell how is it with the mobile office? Is it really not included with Vox as I read also somewhere? And is there a mobile note application synchronizing with Outlook?

You can edit existing documents but you cannot create ones, correct?
How about the notes application - possible to synchronize them with desktop?

Yes it has them...but WM6 does not allow for creation of new items in Office Mobile (although there is a hack to get around that) but I personally find Documents to Go a better offering than what MS gives you. I have word docs sent via email that dont load in Word mobile (on WM5 or WM6) yet have no problem in DTG...
There is also a 3rd party notes app - but no way to Sync to Outlook, thus I use SmartPhoneNotes.

You know...not to go way off topic here, but I thought I was going crazy one night because I could not figure out why there was no Calculator on the VOX...it never crossed my mind that it would be under "Office Mobile".... Since I never go in there with DTG installed - makes no sense at all to me for it to be in there...
My 2 cents
John
this is really a place one should go to - getting answers by like-minded people.
RE notes / synchronization - you know that there is a new beta out there of phatnotes by phatware? It supports WM6, might be a solution also for the landscape issue with smartphonenotes described by John...?

Didn't know about it to be honest, will have to swing by their site and look it up.
I guess I should note that DTG and Smartphonenotes are landscape aware, I used them just fine on my BlackJack...and I noticed today actually that if you start them in landscape mode they auto-rotate just fine....its only when you start in portrait mode that they go whacky...
Take care - John
Can anyone reccommend a good free scientific calculator for windows mobile?
Thanks
Regards,
Neil
Hi Neil,
I use this one and it's been perfect:
http://freewareppc.com/calculator/calc98.shtml
Hope it helps,
D.
Any chance you could post the cab file here as the link to the file doesn;t seem to be allowing me to download it or cannot find the file.
Thanks
Regards,
Neil
If you dont mind paying, HiCalc is the best calculator i have ever used. It even draws out the calculation like you would see it in a book or on paper. It does everything.
Oops, sorry.
Just google'd Calc98:
You could try:

Cheers,

I confirm. HiCalc is an incredible piece of software, but it isn't free
HiCalc crashes when you try to quit the application on the Touch Pro. Emailed them and no support, making me regret buying this thing.
This is the one I use for several years now, and I've seen nothing to substitute it with.
It isn't for free though............

Works like a charm on my Touchpro
Try to install the Vspainter 1.75
but it can not work in my Touch Pro...
Have you tried Pocket Artist?
photogenics is good

Just to name a few...go to each site...click search and type what your looking for please...
Here is a freebie that works well-
Mobile sketcher- it is by Chris Craft at http://www.cjcraft.com/blog
It allows you to import pictures, draw over them and then save them as bitmaps.
He has many other apps such as a gps compass
You WILL need to update your phone's .net framework for this to work- not such a chore
http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
For a list of his other progs follow the link
http://cid-0779b8ef58de4561.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public
If all you want to do is make and store basic sketches, then you can use the NOTES app that came with your phone, in DRAW mode.
Hey guys!
First off just like to say that this is an amazing site and especially for a pocket pc newbie such as my self has enabled me to do great things with my HTC touch pro.
I have downloaded a series of programs from skyscape (medical ppc books) and i added them to the programs tab on the TouchFlo 3D. The prob is, they all have the same icon and no text shows so hard to tell them apart.
I was wondering if there is a way to add a new Tab on the touchflo so that it would work like a folder for all of my skyscape programs with text preferible to distinguish between them. That way i could access the programs with a seperate program tab just for special programs...
Thx in advance and keep up the great work!

The simplest way would be to create a shortcut to the folder the apps are installed in, and copy the folder shortcut to your windows programs folder.
or create a new folder with shortcuts to your apps and then create a shortcut to that folder in the programs group.
There are many other ways it could be done, but this would be the simplest for you, with very little room for making a mistake.
Cheers,
Beasty
Where did you get your version of skyscape for the touch pro?

Did you pay for skyscape or did you find a cracked version with a keygen somewhere? I can't seem to find it.

Do not ask, direct, instruct, discuss, or mention warez. I.E. trying to get retail software for free.
You have been warned.
sorry....what way should I go about stuff like that?
Warez discussion leads to a ban. No more warnings... the rules are clearly stated, it's nobody's fault but your own if you didn't read them. See you in 3 days...
To the OP:
Check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3125006&postcount=16. It's actually directions on how to remove the AT&T tab from the Fuze's stock ROM, but adding lines to the file mentioned should allow you to add a tab.
Hi there,
I'm looking for a small program for my HTC touch pro so I can view the stock markets from around the world. Dow Jones, AEX, Nasdaq, nikkei, ect.
I already looked here using the search function but I have no idea how the program is nemed. So when I type "stock" I only get stock ROM's
I would like to program to be freeware or open source.
Thanks for you reply!
Greetings from holland!

Moved as not software release.
I use the MSN Money Widget.
It isn't the best in the world, but it works, it's stable and Free from the Marketplace.
There's also the Stock Tab in TouchFlo 3D.
