I got some APPs for my New TP2/WinMo

After months and months and months of contemplating, Verizon Wireless convinced me to renew my contract with them and sign over my first born*sigh*! Me, being the GadgetGirl I am, just had to have the Windows Mobile HTC TOUCHPRO2 . So, I’ve been all over the blogs, and picking my techies brains, trying to figure out what Applications I REALLY need. I wanted my device customized JUST right!! Well, it has taken me a few weeks, but I think I’m finally happy content with my TP2. There are MILLIONS of apps across the web, but I have compiled a list of the most important apps for your WinMo device, according to ME!! Happy Downloading!!!

*let me know if any links are corrupted or if there is an app update*

Opera Mobile 10

Bringing the best from their desktop browser to mobile!! It has a powerful new user interface that is pretty fast I must say. This version allows tabbed browsing, so you can have multiple windows open, and it even has password manager. Definitely better than the version included in the phones ROM.

moTweets:

I think this is the best twitter app for WinMo (as of yet)! It has all the features you would expect from a great twitter application: RT, Follow, Unfollow, Direct messages, Replies, Favorites......Plus you can upload photos & videos, and post theirGPSlocation for your followers to see. There is a paid version over in Windows Marketplace; however, I prefer the free version (it has some advertisements on the header bar)

Windows Marketplace

The Windows Marketplace is the portal to most of the applications I have listed. (Thank You)Microsoft has filled the Marketplace with 100s of mobile applications, that can be downloaded over the PC or directly to your phone. There are TONS of Free apps and Demos to try…but if you must buy one, you have the option to pay when you buy, or just charge it to your cell phone bill….How Convenient! If you don’t have a live.com or hotmail login, you WILL need to create one.

-Google Maps: DuH! Google Maps everywhere you go!! You can sync your favorite locations with your PC. The downside here is with Verizon, turn by turn is not an option. But you can definitely get directions

-MicrosoftMyPhone: This app makes syncing your phones information VERY EASY!! It allows you to sync contacts, texts, even documents and .cab files and sync

-Facebook: This a great app that lets you manage your profile and post anytime, anywhere. You can take pictures and videos on your phone, and then upload them right to the website and even call people directly from your Friends list….sux because I can’t play Mafia Wars

-Myspace: I know most of you have fallen off of MYSPACE, but this app will bring you back and keep you in contact with the few Myspacer’s left in your life! It looks almost identical to the Facebook app!

-Viigo: This app brings EVERYTHING together!! You will be able to easily access your local Interests, favorite podcasts, weather, sports, entertainment, stocks, flights & travel, news & RSS feeds to one This is quite an efficient app!

- Cellfire: Most folks aren’t aware of the fact that you can now load coupons onto your grocery store savings card!! This app allows you to do just that!

Note: If you do decide you prefer the android look, it is a good idea to disable TouchFlo3D at startup.
