Windows Mobile Apps

I recently got the Samsung Omnia II. Anyone know any good websites I can find applications for windows mobile. There doesn't seem to be much out there, I can find.

There's tons of apps out there, it's just not as easy to find them (yet) because they aren't in one location like they are for iPhone and Android.

I was planning on making a Windows Mobile thread, with a ton of recommended apps. I'll get around to it soon - it's going to be a lot of work

For now, if you tell me what kind of apps you might be interested in, I can post a few here. If you are looking for a lot of games or farting apps, you may have bought the wrong phone.

Any apps for now would be good. Since, I don't have anything specific in mind I am looking for right now.

I tried not to get the Iphone since every other person you see carries one, haha.

The first thing I would do with the Omnia II is disable the crappy Samsung interface and use SPB Mobile Shell. Or even default Windows Mobile, if it has 6.5 installed.

http://www.xda-developers.com (HTC-specific, but most general WinMo stuff applies to the Omnia too)

BT it. You can find the whole SPB suite if you know where to look.

Also check out

SPB GPRS Monitor - monitors your data usage
Memmaid - cleans up your memory, you can set it to run every day at a specified time.

It's well worth the $30, IMO. Consider it part of the price of the phone you bought

Samsung makes brilliant hardware, but their software is severely lacking.

It's not Samsung so much as just the bare-bones of Windows Mobile. HTC has a "decent" default interface on SOME of its phones, but not all of them. I found with Telus's Omnia, the Telus-spec'd "launchpad" with "widgets" is a PITA, but from what I've been able to find, some Omnias do ship with a MUCH better default Today screen (the primary interface)... looks like Telus had it stripped from their models. Dunno about the Omnia II tho.

Actually, one freeware goodie I recommend is QuickMenu (google it) - replaces the Start menu with a more Windows-desktop-like one that I quite prefer (alas, it doesn't get along with SPB Shell, which is what I'm using on my Omnia now).

Saw an article recently somewhere, too, about freeware/opensource apps to make your WinMo phone interface VERY similar to the iPhone's...

Anyone know if there is a MSN messenger app available for windows mobile phones? I'm looking for something similar to what the HTC touch has built in. There is a program that allows MSN messenger to be on-line pretty much all day, not like a web-based program where you can't have it online and multi-task on another program.

Thanks

I recommend MemMaid. It's like CCleaner.
