Apps you're dying to have?

I was wondering what upcoming announced (and a bit unannounced) apps you guys are looking forward to have?
For me all I care about right now is:
Trillian for Android
WhatsApp for Android
and hopefully a real Windows Live Messenger app. One that allow file transfers like on WinMo/BB and I can atleast change my avatar.

Grindr.

It's a game I can't live without on the iPod - Jabeh.

Skype! Skype! Skype!

I'd love to have a WhatTheFont application on my Android phone. There is a version for iPhone (of course ).

I'd like to have a service like microsoft myphone

MyBackup Pro does that, I think.

A real WLM app would be godlike.
Trillian.
Skype usable on Wifi and 3G on any network.
Some more games.
http://www.b-rail.be/nat/E/timetables/pocket/index.php B-Rail time tables.
NS Train time table thats stored on the device instead of the net.(Roaming 3G is a tad too expensive for me =P)
STEAM Community (Too bad this will probably never happen)
And finally something thats not really an app, Hotmail Live ActiveSync.

Would be nice if one big company would come out with an Android app before an Iphone app.....Android so much better than apple...oh well Android still in its infancy.....

Is it too much to ask for a proper port for angry birds on the Android? Doodle Jump's port was hilariously bad.

I guess Skype / WhatsApp is pretty good. helps me and my girlfriend saves some money.
but basically anything that needs to be paid on the market, i wants it. not supported in my country for purchases yet ):

Well, I got the WhatsApp Beta. So I can kinda like cross that off. Too bad I only got like 6 friends that use it

Easy root as soon as I manually updated to Froyo I went to the marketplace and it was pulled. Now I am stuck with a non-rooted phone :\

[Q] Wi-Fi tethering? Custom keyboards? Sat-Nav software?

The HTC Titan has made my ears prick up a little. Its a pity it isnt a dual core cpu or a higher resolution.
Does WP7.5 support wifi-tethering?
Can you get custom keyboards, for example Swype?
Are there any (decent) free sat-nav apps out there? Google Navigation on Android is great but you need a data connection. I use Co-Pilot, especially when I go on holiday. Tom Tom was the best IMO on WM6.5.
I'm a big fan of 'free' apps, maybe someone could PM me more information on this topic
I'm sure I will have more questions! But I'm definitely interested in the Titan!

Does WP7.5 support wifi-tethering?
Mango should do but you have to change something at
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing
Can you get custom keyboards, for example Swype?
No not realy just an app wich can write and where you can copy the text but yuo cant change the microsoft keyboard
Are there any (decent) free sat-nav apps out there?
No but Navigon is now aviable for Unlocked Devices.
And will be aviable soon with this prices:
NAVIGON for Europe: $119 - NAVIGON for the US: $49.99

Yes, Windows Phone 7.5 has WiFi Hotspot. Your carrier must enable tethering though.

"Turn by Turn Navigation" is $4.99 and is quite decent. If you want offline navigation, you'll have to buy Navigon (no exception).

WiFi hotspot is available on new unbranded models by default. On branded handsets if carrier enables it. On older upgraded devices no, until HTC updates this function at later stage according to their press release. That info only applies to HTC devices. I'm sure that the titans rom once out can be flashed to hd7 etc.

Thank God, who wants Android on a Windows Phone Device anyway. I guess if you want it to run sluggish and drain your battery in less than two hours then why not.

Well, today I received the newsletter from a prestigious portuguese store (fnac.pt for the portuguese guys in here) and they have a new product, one I bet you've never heard of:
I wonder if it can be upgraded to ICS

side load .XAP files

I saw that we could side load .XAP files to wp8 device as long as we have sd card, but htc 8x doesn't have sd card support.
Is there anyway of doing that on htc 8x ?
I Don't understand why that option is only available for phones with sd card support.

Because the option for phones with sdcard is only to install apps from the marketplace, download via your computer. It cannot sideload non marketplace apps.

I thought it was possible to sideload non marketplace apps too.
Thanks for the answer.

Only with visual studio for wp. You must have developer account and phone registered as developer device. Max sideloaded apps is 10. It is not possible store them to sd.

Not if you are student. If you're not, there is guide how to get student developer account with fake name and how to fake confirm that you are student.

At&t HTC hd7s wp7.8 wp8 updates?

Hello to all!
I own an HTC hd7s from at&t running wp7.5. The only tweak I've done to this phone is the sd card upgrade to 32gb. Everything else is factory stock.
My question is does anyone knows if at&t will be releasing the 7.8 update for this device? I would like to keep it legit....
But if no plans are out there for updates for this device I'll be more than willing to hack away this phone.
So in my willingness to hack the hd7s, are there any roms being cooked for this device to upgrade to 7.8 or wp8?

No one knows the plans of ATT man. I myself don't think there will be anything for us officially (HTC Titan here). But seeing that the 7.8 update was pulled from MS and Nokia's servers (due some issues with 7.8), you might be waiting for an additional amount of time. But like I said, I don't think the update will be officially released for the other phones on ATT. Like always, the other OEMS (Samsung/HTC) haven't pushed the US carriers into giving its users updates.

Some questions from greece!

You can purchase a 32gb micro Sd card for about $20.00 us dollars. The process is very simple. You can find videos on YouTube that show you how to do this. Make sure you back up your data
For the rest of your questions.... I don't know...

Why you people want to screw your mind with this topic?
Just install Deepshining V8.0 or Dynamics V2.0, they work on the HD7 and the HD7S with no problems...
and get done with this "update issue", when the chefs create a new ROM based on the new update, then it's moment to update the ROM...
Pretty easy...

Thanks faustolg, now question those roms will update to what version of WP?
Sent from my T9295 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

8858 I believe
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

Both are the same ROM version
7.10.8858.136
there are minor ("proprietary") differences, is up to you what ROM you'll keep.
Both are compatible with WP Backup, Windows Phone Device Manager + TouchXperience, but Dynamics is the only one that is Cab Sender compatible...

A few dates ago I found a nice piece of software called "seveneighter" it automates the WP 7.8 update. And viola! 45 minutes later my HTC hd7s is now WP 7.8!
