Customizing My Pocket PC Phone

As with all my gadgets I'm always looking for ways to customize it... to set it apart from the rest of the devices out there. Well since this is a Pocket PC Phone my various Today Themes work with it. I am currently using my BeansterBlog today theme. Designed as you may have guessed to match this blog. I made it for WM2003SE but it stil works with WM5.0 although the internal colors of the today theme are not followed [tap n hold circles, etc] I think something was changed with the Today themes on WM5.0, For my today plugins I am using only 3. Date [built in], PocketBreeze, Device Lock [built in]. PocketBreeze is skinnable and I am using chefz's Red Redux skin which I converted for QVGA use. The Red and Black is very Sith like IMO hehehe. Come to the Dark Side! I'm also using the Black silicone case that I bought this keeps my device safe from scratches and minor bumps. As I said before, the case does not allow for use of the slide out QWERTY. I also attached two phone charms... first is a Darth Vader, and the second is Mr. X courtesy of Mongkok's night market hawkers hehe. On the ringtone department I've deleted all my old MP3 tones and decided to make completely new ones, since the 838 supports stereo sound I left the MP3 at 96kbps Stereo. So far I've remade some of my favourite tones. I'm still too lazy to set them though as WM5.0 still has no facility to set tones via categories meaning it's either you get a third party app to set them for you or you set them manually. So far I've set ringers for my Family [that's 6 contacts] and changed the default ringer. Right, that brings it to a total of 492 contacts LEFT!

So which is it? Nokia (NOK) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced a partnership today. Both lumbering companies have been in some trouble with their smartphone divisions. Both have been loosing market share to Apple, Android and Blackberry in recent years. WindowsMobile (previously PocketPC and currently WindowsPhone) once the dominant mobile OS, yes folks before the iPhone came into power Microsoft slowly but surely killed of it’s main competitor palm OS, which was acquired by hp last year and is now barely a sliver of a shadow of it’s former former former self. Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...
