I like Agile messenger the best but that is just my preference. I think it really depends on what IM account are you usiing, yahoo, msn, aol, etc.
For internet browser I would use Opera Mini until Opera 9.0 comes out then I have a feeling it is going to be the best. IE actually does a lot better than it did in WM5, you can get add on that allows multiple browser windows in IE.
Agile Messenger is nice, but slowed my Tilt down to a crawl. I put Palringo on and absolutely love it. I also enjoy the Java-based Opera Mini - it just looks nicer than Opera 8.65. Here's hoping they come out with a browser like the iPhone - I sure do miss their Safari browser and the simplicity of it all.
thats what Opera 9.0 will be like from reading the reviews, similar to safari on iPhone

Yes, me too. I wonder if it will be as worthwhile though with the smaller screen.

Go with TCPMP and flash bundle for Youtube.
PocketCM Keyboard and PocketCM from here it is a cool contacts and threded SMS app.
For file management and reg editting and browsing shares on a LAN I use Total Commander version 2.5beta3.
For web browsing try OperaMini4 beta2 it blows PIE out of the water.
For IM I use Windows live for Windows Mobile from the cab in the stickied thread. This version lets you choose if you want to merge Live/MSN contacts with your Outlook default contacts.
MS Voice Command should be on every device as standard but it is $$$ only unless you look in the darker corners of the web.
I work in a corporate environment.
I absolutely install TodayAgenda on every ROM.
http://tiews.info/index.php?show=software/todayagenda
HTC Home is a must now as well
MS VoiceCommand 1.6
Those are the main programs I must have.
My list:
MS Voice Command 1.6
Resco Explorer
DinarSoft MemMaid
Pocket Mechanic
PHM Pocket PC Power Toys
PocketRAR
vxUtil
vxIPConfig
VisualGPS or Holux GPSViewer
Nav software (I use Route 66)
My list:
MS Voice Command (thought I'd change to Voice Signal in a heartbeat if I could)
SPB Pocket Plus (new version's even better)
SPB Mobile Shell
SPB Phone Suite
SPB Backup
Route 66
AvantGo Client
Opera Mini
vxUtil
PocketCM Keyboard
I'd throw Google Maps in there, but that'd be 11.
Edit - how in the heck I left AgendaOne off the list is beyond me. But that'd bump vxUtil off the list for me.

This is a great find!
My list...at least right now...
1. Fann Software's DTSysView Pro - gets you to your today screen w/ 1 touch
2. phoneAlarm by PocketMax - manages profiles and gives you a pop-up task manager - great for 1-handed operation
3. phonepadvibrate - give tactile feedback when you are dialing - I need that when I am driving and dialling
4. Pocket Informant (PIM, I use for Agenda management)
5. iLauncher
6. Pocket Breeze
7. Opera
8. SmartRSS
9. TCPMP+Flash Bundle
10. MemMaid - yes, even on the Kaiser

Can you post phonepadvibrate here? I used it on my Hermes, but that file can for some reason not be installed on my Kaiser. Thanks in advance.
BTW I found the vibrate on my Hermes lagging and slow sometimes, resulting in multiple keypresses due to my impatience. Is it faster on the Kaiser?
edit: Can iLauncher work with SPB Diary and SPB Weather, integrating them into one tab, like PocketPlus does? Does iLauncher support multiple rows of icons? In PocketPlus, it all has to fit in one row, making it impossible to use large icons on my 11 tabs (yes, I know, I am a bit anal) and the little icons are hard to hit with my thumb.
My list:
1. TomTom Navigator
2. PHM regedit
3. Total Commander
4. GPSViewer
5. Spb PocketPLus
6. SPB Weather
7. SPB Diary
8. SPB ToPlay
9. KaiserTweak
10. TCPMP
1-Opera Mini
2-Kaiser Notifications
3- PocketCM Keyboard
4- Google Maps
5- HTC Home customizer
Soon to add SPB Mobile Shell / Phone Suite/ PLus / Diary
TomTom 6
Google Maps
Memory Map 5
Live Search
Today Agenda
Windows Live 10.6.33.0600 (thank you)
Flash Video Bundle
TCPMP
MH Conversions
GPS Dash - removed - can't get it to talk to internal GPS
Also got Opera Mini 4 beta
What is this " BluOrb MobileOS (WAD Skin) BETA" ??
Is this advisable to install in Kaiser?

If you have no idea what it is I would advise not putting it on, in fact why would you want to?

I would like to ask if anyone has used Ultimate Launch (UL) before and can he/she try activating Touch3D as one of the Plugin in UL?? I can do so for the TouchFlo Home plugin.
If this is workable, then I believe we can have Touch3D as only ONE of the many plugin while UL can also have plugin for SPB Diary, (SPB Shell 2.0?), SPB pocket+, PocketBreeze and PhoneAlarm.. etc. That will be awesome, ya?!
Please, can some kind soul test out UL on Diamond?
Hmm.. from my experience with my diamond, if you turn on the touchflo today plugin then it immediately turns off all other today plugins so there are no conflicts.
I don't think it's possible to make this work with other today plugins - it's either all or nothing.
I tried this yesterday and it just don't work. U can not use TouchFlo3D as a tabbed part of UL.....
Ok..
How about other programmes that support plugin, e.g. Pocket Breeze, SPB mobile shell 2, etc, or WAD3?
Anyone?
no because you can use either the touch flo 3d OR other today-plugins. not both.
Before switching to TD2, i used SPB mobile shell and I was very satisfied about that software
TF3D is so much like an eye-candy, but for the way I use WM phones, I prefer having multiple functions on one screen, provided that we can put lots of things at the same time on a 480x800 screen.
I hope both companies can come up with new version of their software to perfect user experiences. I look forward for this to happen more than seeing WM6.5 or WM7
what do you think? and sorry about my english
If you say so, I think PointUI HOME2 is much better suitable for you. You can have different theme, different arrangment of the screen. And the most important, it is free.
Current version of Spb Mobile Shell (3.01) still has issue in Diamond2. You may refer to Spb forum regarding those issue. I just wait for a more stable Mobile Shell version, just like the ancestor stable verion 2.15, to run in my Diamond2.
The moment I got my D2, I disengaged TF3D and use SPB MS 3.0. TF has just too many gestures to get where u want. SPB MS makes it easy to access the applications.
IMHO....
TF3D is an extremely unproductive UI. Contacts and calendar are the two most important things for business and TF3D is configuration limited scrolling hell.
With the calendar I can see today and tomorrow. It has a gimmicky month view but in all not very useful at all.
The contacts themselves within TF3D are annoying as I have to scroll even when in a contact to get to the option to view the standard WM full details because TF3D does not display what I want to see. By default finding a contact in TF3D is like having to win a game of Teeter first.
SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 is also very unproductive. It does not integrate with SPB Diary (not today plugin friendly) and amazingly does not even integrate with SPB Phone (try to turn rules on and off from the Shell!!!). You lose weather views and the easy moving between cities even if you have a licence for SPB Traveller!
The contacts screen from Mobile Shell 2.0 is the best I have seen. It has "dedicated contact names T9 search for any part of contact string" (very valuable feature).
The HTC dialer on the Topaz offers non-T9 name search only from the beginning of each word (vastly inferior to SPB Shell 2. Contacts) but it is still quite usable.
In a choice of TF3D vs SPB MS3.0 vs no shell I would choose no shell.
Maybe install SecondToday. Put your calendar (something like TodayAgenda or SPB Diary) on the second Today screen. Put your calls/e-mail/messages, program launcher, music player and weather application plugins on the front page.
We should be able to use specialist programs for functionality that is important to us. The above 2 shells exclude the ability to mix and match what we want. For many people they will not allow a UI that suits their lifestyle.
Why did we want a WM phone in the first place?
We may as well be choosing above between Nokia and Motorola. These shell providers could do better and they should!
IMHO
I've had no problems with SPB shell 3. It works great. I have all the other spb shell apps and they all work great! It's nice to be able to have 2 different types of today screens. and the lifestyle today screen is great. one page for media, one for phone controls/tools and one for games and 'other'
it's much better than touchflo
Ich switched from TF to Mobile Shell and i think Mobile Shell delivers what i expected from TF...
I prefer shell than TF3D too. I usually get to what I want faster...
Mobile Shell 3 interfere HTC dialer
If you look at the following thread in Spb forum, you may find one of Mobile Shell issue in Diamond2:
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25814
You just cannot tap the left bottom "Contact" button in the default (HTC) dialer to open contact.
Maybe we could all get back to the old and ultimate WisBar

Carty..

yes, this is very annoying to me. I like the phone suite for the sound profiles that you can set including the automatic. Why can't I put that plug in on a main screen of the shell?
I'm also very annoyed how the custom layouts get all messed up in landscape. for the most part sbp mobile shell 3 is pretty good.
Hi there anybody knows how to install all these applications on D2 and change using Today or a Panel? Spb Mobile shell get itself a primary position,and this the main problem I was trying using Second Today and ms3Togglersetup but it didn't work, for some reason I've got some sotware that is doing conflict ...it can be a pubba TFLO 3d Panel but I ' not sure. I don't want remove it because all Xperia panel will disappear. So! How can I change from Spb Mobile shell and TouchFlo 3d in one click and from TouchFlo 3d to Spb Pocket plus with another click and so on....It's not so easy. Can you help me please....any idea?
have you tried this

List your favorite app on your windows mobile phone
I'll start,
G-Alarm. I don't know how I would wake up without this.
For me, the the best app (or at least from ones I've come across) is Quick Menu, couldn't live without it
But other top ones would be,
G-Alarm
Opera
Total Commander
SPB Mobile Shell
and then a few others
G-Alarm
SPB-Weather
Facebook App
Showcase
Opera Mobile
Resco Explorer
EZ Keyboard
SPB Wireless Monitor - Really important
JWMD Icon Changer
Upvise
Phonex
These are what I use on a regular basis
Opera 10
SmartGear Gameboy emulator
Music ID
Bing
Google Maps
Everything else I use is nice to have, but these are the apps that I can't live without.
