Странник, Have you checked out the hardware on this thing? Also, Manila 2.5 completely wraps winmo so you never see it, unless you want to. If you're dismissing it out of hand, you're really missing out. This device blows the iphone out of the water. And while it's not the iphone ui, it's way fun to use.

"Even before 6.5 got official, the Windows Mobile community has been toying around with post-RTM leaked builds that really amp up the finger-friendliness -- thing is, no one seems to know what it is, what it's called, when it's coming, who will get it, or how it meshes with the upcoming release of WinMo 7 next year. For now, it's being informally called 6.5.1 -- sounds like a fair name to us -- and new mockups floating around suggest that Microsoft really wants to bridge the gap and make major user experience modifications to 6.5; the pre-7 platform hasn't yet reached the end of the road, apparently. Big buttons at the bottom of the screen look like they should be usable by even the fattest of fingers on a resistive display (and indeed, we've seen various forms of these in leaked builds) and interface elements throughout the OS have been spruced up to finally put the stylus to bed. We'll take it, but we would've been happy to take it in lieu of 6.5, too."

Paylaşım için teşekkürler, ben de biraz örnek görmüş oldum. FFWinMobile'ın yeni versiyonlarında tamamen arayüze odaklanmayı planlıyorum zaten.

I'm thinking I'll have to limit how many comments are displayed when you display comments in-line. Otherwise it takes a long time to display a post with a lot of comments. Expect a new release in the next day or two.
- Jim Lavin
I'll test and tell you if i find any more bugs.
- Sweyn Venderbush
I posted FF4WinMo Release 1.1 which now limits the number of comments displayed to the last 5 comments, newest first.
- Jim Lavin
I just posted FF4WinMo Release 1.2 which corrects an exception that occurs when downloading user images. Added code to download a user image if it does not exist. You can find the update at http://codingsmackdown.tv
- Jim Lavin
I'll be posting FF4WinMo Release 1.3 later tonight. I've made a modification to resize the text to fit all of the text within the control. Reduces the wasted space and looks so much better.
- Jim Lavin
What do you think of moving the comments to a click only option so you would scroll through the timeline, and it shows how many comments each post has. then you click on a view comments buttom and you get to view the comments maybe 10 comments on each page.
- Sweyn Venderbush
I just posted FF4WinMo Release 1.3 on http://codingsmackdown.tv This release now displays all text in a post, no more cut off text.
- Jim Lavin
Sweyn, I was thinking along the same lines. I would still show the last 5 comments but instead of going to post comment dialog I would display all of the comments in the dialog with a menu option to post a comment.

I've been working on some new changes to the application. Should have release later this week.

To each, their own. I absolutely love it! It is the best phone I have ever used so far.

Does this mean they did something about the performance issues they had?
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
I've had the phone for a week now and haven't experienced any issues with lag or performance. I used to have the HTC 6800 and it was slow and I had to restart it almost daily. I haven't had 1 problem with the TP2. I'm very impressed.

I have to agree with Om that Android is definitely going to replace Microsoft. The Windows Mobile platform is the crappiest of them all. Waiting for Verizon to get an android device to I can sell my Motorola Q9c. I may sell it now just because I don't use it anymore. I love the new homescreen though for Windows 7 but Apple and Nokia have spoiled me with free updates. Microsoft has some serious catching up to do.
- Corvida
Strangely, as an iPhone user i'm kind of rooting for them, because the more competitive the market gets the more consumers will benefit. I know MS is poor when it comes to real innovation so I'm curious to see how they will spend their way back to the top of an already crowded marketplace.
- Tate DA FF MVP
Maybe instead of bitching about Microsoft's platform, why not provide some concrete examples like do away with the Today Screen interface for something more touch oriented. That way if anyone from Microsoft reads this feed they'll understand what all the bitching is about.
- Jim Lavin
It would be foolish to underestimate Microsoft, as this article clearly does. The real mobile platform battle will take place next year, not this year. Tegra, snapdragon and whatever Apple has to bring to market will be the key players as it stands right now. This year everyone is idling and milking.

I am looking for easy way to send messages and links between PC and Windows mobile device. Could be chat like or even portal I can update from both ends. Any idea?
Automatically or while you're using the device? For manual uses, I use My Mobiler http://www.mymobiler.com/ to just remote control my WM device from my desktop and copy/paste any info I need directly to my machine. It's free and works like a charm.
- veo
I have it and use it, but needs to communicate between the devices using the Internet. Both are connected. For example I see a link I want to read later on my mobile, the only way to communicate is email. I have also VPN between my PC and mobile using Hamachi and it can send messages, but the VPN is blocked at work

You might look into Windows Live Mesh. They were planning on releasing a version for Windows Mobile.
- Jim Lavin
If that doesn't work you might want to look at the Microsoft Sync Framework. I know that it is supported on both platforms, but you may need to build an app to do what you want.

The i-mate 8502 has become available for under GBP100 in the UK. This device ships with WiMo version 6 but can be upgraded to V6.1 via the manufacturer's web site. It's going to be totally incompatible with everything else I use but might be good for email sand browsing on the move.

According to the specs it covers both the UK and US 3G frequency bands - 850/1900/2100 so it should work in the US with my AT&T sim. And I can buy 6 or 7 of these for the price on an iPhone 3GS.

"PhoneArena has been leaked another screen shot of Sprint’s internal system showing the carrier’s HTC Touch Pro 2 launch date ( behind the huge watermark), confirming a September 3rd launch date. Apparently this indicated a soft launch with the phone being available for direct shipment on the Thursday, and on sale in retail locations on the Sunday following."

With Joggah you always have your complete running log book with you on your smartphone. Using the integrated GPS tracker functionality you can record your running tracks straight to your log automatically. Of course you can still listen to music or place phone calls simultaneously while Joggah tracks your outdoor workout.

In praise of push buttons. I use a Windows Mobile device instead of my iPod Touch for podcast listening because of push buttons. http://billrodman.wordpress.com/2009...
