Alright this is my second phone from verizon and coming from a first gen icrap user.
I had installed a sweet amount of apps befor my phone never woke up. I did alot of testing on that phone and now am ready to fill up on apps once again.

I want all the best players finger do-dads and userfriendly ideas out there...
I dont want to try install and deinstall all the apps out there again.

Just want an idea what your using???

Thanks for any help!!!
i760 Rocks!!!!

I recommend that you use as little as possible. The big mistake that a ton of people make is loading their device with so much crap it slows to a crawl. I have seen posts where people spend an insane amount of time trying to get a weather app to run properly. Weather? Really?

I play MP3s, watch movies, I get emails from work with attachments, edit them and send them back with revisions and I play a lot of games. I do it all with the default WM6 (6.1).

The big mistake people make when loading down their system is tweaking their interface. A neat new background? Cool. Stay away from anything that takes over your entire system.

And the answer to your question is stickied and answered to death.

TCPMP for movie/audio playing (anything WM can't handle alone).
Agile Messenger for messenging, supports ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Google Talk, etc. But it isn't free.
Skyfire for browsing if you do anything that IE can't handle.

Don't install *anything* you don't need or regularly use.

I really like SPB's products for "finger friendly" access to things. Mobile Shell, Pocket Plus, and PhoneSuite all work nicely for me on my TyTN II and did on my i730 when I had that. Since they share some code, they also play pretty nicely together.

But I'll second the recommendation that you shouldn't install anything you aren't going to use regularly.

Palringo Is free and has most of the functionality.

The "best apps" and "best web sites" question seems to come up quarterly. If we can combine some of the WM 6.1 stickies, could we have one or two that answers these very good, but very frequently asked questions?

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I've been looking for a good free one.

I prefer BeeJive, It's much nicer. It supports all or most of the chat clients, except skype.

Sweet!!!!
Come on People keep em coming!!!

URL for latest version of TCPMP?

i agree. a stickied thread with the 'best of' every conceivable category.

i'm a minesweeper freak, i used to have all the best links to free games.

If you use the phone in a professional environment, PhoneAlarm is a great application to make your phone have manners while you are in a meeting...

one of the best things i did to my phone was the registry edit to auto-disconnect the internet connection after a certain time of being idle... its really great to have this incase you don't get to charge your phone throughout the day but still need it to auto-connect for email and such without it killing your battery! You can check out a little writeup i did on it there:
