Many people own a Smartphone and not many own a Windows Mobile phone. For the few who do some are having a hard time getting things to work as they want them too. Some of the major complaints one might hear is the UI and programs are just not user friendly. Or they keep on getting issues such as battery power drainage or they just got a bad phone period. My very first Smartphone was a Treo 750 I used to love it until due to AT&T’s crappy network all of my calls were being dropped. So I then moved over to the HTC Kaiser which is an awesome phone. Touch screen, GPS, and could hold up to 32 GB of expanded memory, not that 32GB is available right now. Currently I now own a Samsung Omnia i910 and I have to say I am quite satisfied with it. It’s no iPhone but it does a lot for me and I consider it my computer away from home.

Today what I am going to show you is how I use my phone and some useful apps that you could find all over the web. Programs that will give you  the full experience of both your unlimited data plan and the  phone itself. There are not many apps out there  like the iPhone… and to get that kind of  experience I got the touch instead . Back to the Windows Mobile phone, even with less apps it is still a great phone and I have found quite a few programs that are very useful.

My Mobiler :

My Mobiler is an app that enables you to connect your WinMO phone to the computer. It gives one the ability to use their keyboard and mouse to send text messages and to write notes, best of all the screen shots. Go ahead give it a try link.

Clear Temp:

Like every computer a phone has cache and some cookie savers that could somewhat slow down your phone after some heavy surfing if you know what I mean. From using apps that take up some memory, looking at links from your pocket twit app, to watching YouTube videos all of those activities create useless memory usage. That is where Clear Temp comes in handy. This little app basically removes all unnecessary things that are cluttering your system. Give Clear Temp a try.

Internet Sharing:

Do I dare mention the Internet Sharing application that comes in very handy when there is no free network around? Ok I guess I will mention it. The internet sharing app is a god-send not only does it give me the ability to share the internet via Bluetooth pan or USB I can assure you that its fast. That is why I love my mobile phone, tethering is a breeze I have been doing it for 3 years if you catch my drift . Some phone companies actually leave this application installed while others like Verizon Wireless remove it. You do know of course that there is a hookup somewhere to get it back . 

Gmail Application :

Many Windows Mobile phone come with the capability to install Java based apps. The Omnia however is another story and so I searched for an app which would allow me to install Gmail on my phone. Yeah I could use the Microsoft email app but I am used to my Gmail.

Searching online forums will help there is so much information out there. I am happy with it as I have an almost desktop like experience with my Gmail. Search for the pack GC Java Pack.

PMRecorder:

If you think that you are going to call me and blackmail me I have news for you, this call is being recorded for quality assurance and for saving my butt if you try anything mister. This app comes in very handy. No I do not use it all the time only for certain important calls where people put you under the bus because they get into trouble that is my life saver.

Microsoft My Phone:

If you are like me one who loves to flash their phone with a new cooked rom then this application is for you. In terms of being free, it has the capability to sync text, contacts, photos and other important information that you may have on your phone. I do not use it to sync my contacts instead I use Google Sync which syncs my calendar and contacts on Google Voice, my Google Calender and if I have another phone it will sync to that one as well. They are very handy keep them in mind. You will never have to worry about losing a contact again.

So these are some of the applications on my phone for now. More to come later as everyday I am finding something new. I hope you found the list helpful for some of the apps. Remember Google is your best friend whenever you have a problem, or you need a program. He is always there to make your day.
