Since this is both an unusual device (bigger screen, vga and lots of memory) and a brand new OS (WM6), I thought it would be a good idea to have people chime in on what applications they are using on their WM6 Athena.
Try and let us know whether it is a Game or Application, Freeware or Purchased, and if you can, provide a link.
Hopefully we can all help each other get the most out of these fantastic multi-purpose devices.
I will start.
RealVGA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830
First off, I love the huge VGA screen so my first search was for a great Resolution modification utility to get the most out of my screen real estate.
I have to hand it to Tobias, he has done a fantastic job with this one. Thanks a lot!
After screen res comes my necessary info:
HTC Home - Can't remember exactly where I got it, but it was from here somewhere.
eWallet - http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/ew/ewallet.php I love the way this application syncronizes my information with my desktop and lets me divide into categories for easy retreival
ListPro - http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/lp/listpro.php - Another great app from these guys. I am very project oriented, and this application lets me create my own types of lists and then syncs them with my desktop.
Mobipocket -http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp?Language=EN - Still the best IMHO for reading all the books I want to read (that aren't PDFs).
wmIRC - http://wmirc.com/ A great IRC app!
TCPMP - http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/ Simply the best media player for our platform IMHO
What I am looking for:
A good Financial Program that Syncs with MS Money - I am trying Ultrasoft Money... I'll let you know how it goes.
Good Memory and Tweak Utilities - Have always loved Pocket Mechanic, but the graphics are horrible on the screen with RealVGA - looking at MemMaid
GAMES - I really want some good puzzle games! anyone that has any suggestions, please let me know!
Look forward to seeing what others have on their devices... Let me know!

My X7501 Apps...
Here are my apps... All are commercial unless otherwise noted.
AnywhereMap (aviation GPS moving map/navigation)
FlexWallet 2006 (personal data manager)
Mapopolis (backup to TeleNav when no data connection is available) Free but maps cost. Now defunct.
M$ Remote Desktop for running my server/PC from the X7501 (free CABs here)
Skype (VoIP calls/chats) Free
Spb Backup (backup/restore)
TCPMP (Swiss Army knife media player) Free
TeleNav (subscription GPS navigation; simply the best IMHO)
TheSky Pocket Edition (for the astronomy geek in me)
YaRPNcalc (RPN calculator for the HP geek in me) Free
Sorry for no links; Google is your friend...
OziExplorerCE - moving map application
CorePlayer - much better that TCPMP for only 25 bucks
Tomtom 6.030 with WWE maps
Blackberry Connect version 2 - my corporate push-mail system
GenGisCad - An AutoCad files viewer
Google Maps - Now it works with internal GPS
MemMaid - Quite dangerous tunning program for your PDA
pPod - A program that simulates a iPod in your PDA. Difficult to find because Apple put its makers into Court. Better used in portraid since in landscape mode some important key is left outside of the screen. (drop me a private msg with an email address if someone want it)
psShutXP - A program to reset/shutdown/shut screen the PDA
PHM RegEdit - Must have if you need to access the registry
VisualGPSce - Simple GPS application. Just show you information about GPS
WM5torage 1.73 - To use your Microdrive or MiniSD as a USB key. Use 1.73 don't install 1.75 yet since this new one has some bugs on it.
PPCFinder - What do you do if you need to find a file in your PDA? Running this program. Very useful when I need to find a missing DLL or EXE file.
Pencilbox - a program for my daugther to draw on the PDA. Great for your children.
pPod
Hi, it is really intresting to see pPod program.
Can you send it to me please?
[email protected]
Thanks.

There you can find QVGA and VGA version (WirelessTime v2)
Great app. You will save a lot of battery.

My must have apps
Brunkages must have apps
UPDATED
Progs:
Advanced Config v. 3.2 - get it @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
BaseHueExpress - change theme color. you cannot use the original black one. go to settings --> Today to change to anyone other than Htc black to make this program work.
Battery Icon - A battery replacement program. Actually I used another one then this one but this is really nice http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424926&highlight=battery (thx FInixNOver - found it after you typed to me on this thread. Looks a little bit nicer then the on i used before.
Conduits Pocket Player v3.6 - MP3 player - The best I think. It can take winamp 2 skins and that is so cool. for winamp skin go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441627
CorePlayer v1.2.5 Build 4506 - This video player works full with diamond - AVI in full screen. I don't use this player for mp3 - pocket player is much better for that.
DinarSoft MemMaid v2.3 - Clean your Diamond
ESET Nod32 mobile Antivirus - Good prog but it will bug your volume control. you can only use the volume control with touch and not with buttons. (but you can live with that)
Flash Player 7 - Sadly it cannot work with Opera for Diamond since Opera doesn't support flash (yet anyway) thats why I'm waiting for Skyfire (www.skyfire.com) - it will support not only Flash 6 and 7 but also 8. and full support for java too. Thats nice.!
iFonz - I Phone lookalike program. Work okay with Diamond but maybe there is someone better out there. But it works - also with VGA (you have to make icon size bigger in options.)
iGO8 + Europe works fine with Diamond and connects pretty fast with "Fast GPS"
Lextionary English Dictionary v2.0 - Good Dictionary
Media Connect - Works but not that many channels though.
MS Voice Commander - you need patch to make it work with diamond - can also be found on xda-developers diamond section
NET Framework 3.5 - Important to have to play most (some) games and programs.
Novii Remote (MY BAD - Novii Remote DOESN'T WORK with HTC Diamond - i misplaced the program (used it for my previous phone - but ofcause you need a phone with infrared) AGAIN MY BAD..!
Opera v9.5 Build 1938 Upgrade - Works good. You can also watch youtube videos with this directly in opera via youtube.com and with Flash Player 7 Installed. But its laggs a bit.
Pencil Box Deluxe v3.6 - Good drawing program i cannot say its the best but its one of them. (but u cannot use that many tools - but still really good)
Pocket Live TV - works but pretty expensive.
Pocket Winrar I Know the diamond has a zip program preinstalled on official rom but this program can also open .RAR files. I have it installed but don't think I've ever opened a .RAR file on my phone
PPCLink Hicalc v2.5 Award Winning advanced calculator - http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=20468 - Nice one
Proximis NetRemote Suite v2.0.4.127
PSShutXP Ofcause the VGA version with a Diamond skin
QWERTY æøå keys (Danish keyboard)
Resco Explorer 2008 v7.02 - with Regedit
GSen Screen Rotater
SPB Calc manilla Diamond skin
SPB GPRS Monitor 2.4.1 - Nice program to monitor GPRS. you can see how much cash you have spend and so on.
SUS2 - Phone Lock - Works but i have disabled the slide-to-answer function because it was a little slow. But its okay
TomTom 7 + Scandinavian Maps - Also a pretty good and and fast gps.
WinMobile Torrent v2.1.0.6 Best (Only?) one out there. It works fine and connects to a torrent pretty fast.
Games:
Argentum - Really funny game. One of the best I've got.
Astraware Bubble Babble - Word game.
Astraware Rocket Mania Control a Rocket via touch screen.
Astraware Zuma Also one of the best games.
Call of Duty 2 Works good in VGA and its controllable.
Concrete PBA Bowling v1.0 Fun touch screen game.
Drum Kit Ace Have Drums in your pocket. works but since the Diamond don't have MultiTouch you cannot use it that good. But you can work around it and it still pretty funny.
Expresso Run Game v1.0 - Good game.
Gamebox Classics 5.0 - Funny - Snake and other game ind a gamepack
GameZoneProject Towers Trap - Fun Defender game.
Gangsta Race - Car game for touch screen
Insaniquarium - The old PC version of Insaniquarium. You have to have this
Motocross Stunt Race - Not that good. But still...
Palm Heroes - Like the old pc version on pocket pc touch.
Pool Challenge
PPC Chess
Resco Brain Games[/B]
FPSEce0.09.6_beta - PSX emulator - Have tried it with Abe's Oddysee + Final fantasy + GTA 2. And all the games works fine. But it irritates me that the VGA option doesn't work in full screen. But its looks good with a non VGA option too.
Rocket Elite
SimCity 2000
SmartGear v1.0.4 Emulator Ofcause with Super Mario 1, 2, 3 and world. Sonic Series, Earth Worm Jim and other classic Sega, Nintendo, SNES, TG16 games
Snails Worms lookalike but this is only for touch. I like worms better. But still good.
The amazing world game - Like The Incredible Machine. Funny.
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 (NOT FULL SCREEN - but works)
Traffic Jam

Warcraft 2
Assaultaire Tank game. Fun Fun.
Atomic Battle Dragons
Azgard Defence
Lemonade Tycoon 1.0.2
Machines at war
Meltdown Also really funny. You only need to push one button to control the game - But later on it still gets pretty hard.

Accelerometer Games:
Caver
G-Flow
G-Invaders
Lightsaber
Lunar Tilt
SensorMaze
YABGBT
Waterlevel
Diamond Cubes
Diamond Beer2
+ others
Waiting for:
Skyfire!

More skins
These are programs i've used for my htc diamond and they are working fine. Some of the programs are free and some not. But i can recommend all of them. of cause worms need a config file that you can find on this website (search for it).

I'm just wondering what you mean by this...
Is it a program or a battery icon replacement.
A screenshot and/or some more information would be very much appreciated.
@ Brunkage - same question from me - Novii Remote without IR?
My list (apart from the obvious):
HiCalc - best calculator ever!
Ephemeris - nice little application for calculating sunrises/sunsets, sun directions etc.
Resco Explorer with Resco Registry - just brilliant
LightSaber - useless but sooo funny...
TF3D config
Pocket Gravity - addictive as hell
SensorLock
Diamond Tweak
StopWatch
TomTom with Western Europe maps and Franz Beckenbauer voice
...and more slowly coming
I find the built in calculator of very poor quality.
Where can i find a replacement?
I've found PocketCalc to be the best one, although it's not full screen (only VGA)
Have a look at iss Calculator Suite. It handles WVGA as well.
You may use manila vga skin if u want to change look. it looks much better.
i use the hp48 calc emulator it's great
Being an Engineer, I love my HP calculators!!!
Here is another HP calc by CreativeCreek
http://www.creativecreek.com/pocketpc/mathupro.html
Stuart
We use 1-Calc for years and it has even a currency (updating) and messurements
The title says it really lol but i really need a good scientific calculator that can have a sum like 56 divided by Sin 37 entered and give me a straight answer
any 1 know any?
1-calc from Omegaone
hp48 emulator is the only calc i will ever love
If you know RPN...
Love HP calculator(I started on a 25 then used 41CV through Engineering school!!)
Try CreativeCreek MathU Pro
Has built in sci. finicial, even unit conversion...
Of course it is also prgramable!!
Stuart
if 93,0518479028591 is correct, then Calc Pro by Panoramic Software Inc. could be for you. I just discovered it a few days ago and it is a great great calc. But 1-calc is also a nice tool.

Hey.
Can some one that has have the phone for a while right down the ( Must )
apps and games plis ? it would be realy nice
I don't have it yet, but on a Dutch forum someone posted a list of usefull programs (in his opinion). I'll copy it. All credits to: dafmay!
SPB Mobile Shell (!)
iGo8
TT7
Memmaid
Coreplayer
Pocket Tunes
SPB Weather
SPB Backup
SPB Screenshot
Callstat V2
J.S. Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3
http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_message/31874676#31874676
this battery app or Batti 2.4
is also very nice
Oh, and some things that I want to test directly when I get my phone (I collected these items from the internet, ofcourse trials since you need to pay for some ):
Ballzor
Caver
DiamondBeer
G-Flow
GravityBalls
G-Remote
iGo
Resco Bubbles
Tux Racer
Spb Software, look at their site
any software by ageye i would say is a must. Coreplayer, definately if you have this phone it would be extremely useful.
Free CIV
FreeCiv looks fantastic, but even after compiling the source, does not seem to work with htc diamond 2 and windows mobile 6.1. If it did work would be a great game.
