Ive just bought an HTC TyTnII phone which is my first forray into the Windows Mobile OS, having always previously owned Symbian phones. In wondering a couple of things:

My current phone runes WM6 - can I run WM5 applications on here or do they have to be specifically written for WM5?
Is PPC , WM2003 and WM the same thing?
What are the best WM6 apps?

hi, I`m pretty new to WM myself, but I thought I`d take a stab at answering ur qutns.

so far as I know any WM5 application should work on WM6.

WM - Windows Mobile is the operating system, the number at the end just tells you the version.

PPC - stands for Pocket PC, which I believe is the physical hardware (eg your TyTN II), as opposed to progs, which are software (eg. WM6) and run on the device.

hope this helps.

forgot to add that you`re unlikely to get a response on the best progs, you`ll need to search the forums.

if its any help I have Total Commander, viigo, google maps, pocket esword, kevtris, sudoku, etc.

Yes, most Windows Mobile 5 applications should run on Windows Mobile 6 just fine.

Pocket PC is a Microsoft trademark that denotes any device conforming to its Pocket PC standard.

WMx is just a version; Microsoft switched after 2005 from naming their mobile OS Pocket PC/Windows Mobile 200x to Windows Mobile x. WM2003 would be WM3, WM2003SE would be WM4, WM2005 is WM5, and WM6 is just that.
