My Windows Mobile smartphone serves many purposes to me - just to share with you guys
http://karhoe.net/content/view/134/1/



1) Normal phone - Features ultimate connectivity with quadband, EDGE, Bluetooth, Infrared, WiFi

2) My webcam (Powered by WebCameraPlus )- I could use the camera of the phone as a camera, even a wireless camera using WiFi, which means I can turn on my webcam on my computer and bring the handphone around the house, even to my neighbour's house. The latest version also doubles up as a wireless microphone so you can do webconference everywhere.

3) My Skype phone (Powered by Skype Mobile )- Save that USD200 to buy a dedicated skype phone. This smartphone serves as a Skype phone so I can talk for hours if I wish to.

4 ) My Live Messenger (Powered by Windows Live Mobile )- I can chat at whichever hotspot I come across, or connect via EDGE/GPRS if I'm really desperate

5) SMS becomes easier (Powered by MyMobiler ) - Once my phone is connected to the PC, be it through USB, Bluetooth or WiFi, I can reply to SMS instantly and quick if I am infront of the computer using the keyboard. No need to use that two little thumbs. SMS are also synchronized to Outlook express using Jeyo Mobile Extender

6) My personal organizer, never miss anything anymore (Powered by Outlook Express) - I used my phone to set important dates, schedules, important meetings, assignments, etc. With Windows Vista and XP, all these can be synchronized between the computer and the phone using Microsoft Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Centre

7) My media centre, powered by Windows Media Centre Mobile - I store hundreds of musics in the storage card.

8) My document reader (Adobe Reader LE & Office Mobile ) - With Office Mobile and Adobe reader, reading and editing documents on the go is easy

9) My Internet browser - powered by (Internet Explorer Mobile ), WAP sites are irrelevant, view sites in full bloated HTML

10) My Sideshow (Coming soon) - Soon, the device would be able to function as a sideshow device for Windows Vista, being able to control Vista gadgets on the phone.

11) My call recorder (Powered by PMRecorder ) - thinking of blackmailing me? All phone conversations are automatically recorded. Another good reason for you not to borrow my phone to call someone else

12) My entertainment centre - with games such as Scrabble , Tetris , Fishopolis , Worms World Party and many more high quality games , I'll never get bored anymore.

13) My flash drive (Powered by WM5torage ) - now this device can also act as a universal plug and play flash drive, using the SD card as the storage device. Carrying files around gets easier.

14) My pocket dictionary, with MDict , I can install as many downloadable databases to my phone such as Language translators, list of countries and it's capital, and many more

15) My modem, the phone can act as a GPRS/EDGE modem or even dial up modem (but the charge would be too high) so I can hook it to my laptop and go online wherever there is a cellphone reception.

16) There are also other useful applications, such as :


* BMI Calc , use to monitor one's fitness by calculating the BMI (Body Mass Index) value, just key in your height and weight, and with a push of the button, you know your BMI.

* Moblue , use to manage incoming Bluetooth beams, to specify the location where the received file will be saved.

* FizzBill , ever eaten with a friend at a restaurant, wanted to split the bill but calculations were confusing with all the surcharge and taxes thrown in? With FizzBill, just key in the actual amount, tax rate, and the number of people sharing the bill and the amount will be generated instantly.





This and many more features are available to you when you use a smartphone powered by Windows Mobile. While many of you are crazy over Symbian phones like Sony Ericsson and Nokia, why not give Windows Mobile a try? Windows Mobile has the largest user contributed softwares, applications and games which makes your smartphone a very powerful device.

Not to mention, every single things in the phone can be configured and tweaked using registry, just like a normal computer

nice!!
i can see you are making full use of mobile devices power. with all these running, i'm afraid you may need a slightly high spec device. btw, what smartphone are you using?

I'm using Dopod 577w powered by TI OMAP 850@ 200mhz

I close unused applications via Task Managers, so it's sufficiently fast enough to run these applications

very nice examples on the usage of your Windows Mobile device.

wat theme are u using? its ncie

It's the sliding panel available on Windows Mobile 6.1 devices.

I changed the colour theme and the background only

nice post

can u explain to me how the WM5torage works / how to use? I still dont quite understand.

By default, the phone doesn't act as a storage device, you transfer file via Microsoft Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Centre.

So if you go to your friend's house, you need to install the above mentioned software in your friend's house to access the files in your phone.

By activating WM5torage, the phone storage card would function as a universal USB plug and play device, hence no need to install any softwares, just plug and play

Can you install Microsoft Reader on it too? I have lots of e-books on Microsoft reader.

It seems like Microsoft Reader is not available for smartphone devices, or they do?

It's a standard theme for Windows Mobile Standard. Touch screen devices run on Windows Mobile Professional and has different today screen.

Karhoe,

You have shown that it is how we make use of our smartphone / ppc and not so much as to what smartphone / ppc we have....

Cheers..

nice examples on the usage of your Windows Mobile..
n nice theme too.. haha

Yeap, Windows Mobile device are pretty basic at stock, you need to install softwares to spice them up.

My Dopod 577w is a very basic smartphone, but till now, i'm very satisfied with it, it have many functions and really helps me alot.

ermm.... but doesnt jus by changing the sync mode on WM settings do the same??
by default it shud be at RNDIS.

jus change it to Mass Storage mode. then it become plug n play as well.
am i wrong? or is activating WM5torage a better way?

Youve utilising very well the real world of Windows Mobile
