not that it's out, and i'm putting this out there for the hardcore programmers amongst us, but when this comes out, what are the chances of it working on the hermes? if it does then **** iphone, this interface would do wonders for the usability of the device.... but don't take my word for it, check the short video
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6173.html
am i the only one who would like to navigate the hermes with that ui?
You think that's cool? Check this out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=U0EDd85F2pc

i think most of us have seen this video and should be aware that buddy isn't releasing this anytime soon, and in any event, i'm not really big on the iphone, it seems gimmicky like most apple products. i like functionality, and would rather go with something that's useful, not just because it emulates a popular company's interface.
Actually, I'm in the same boat as you, but you mentioned iphone so I thought I might as well link to that video. I'll pick substance over style any time.
Hi guys, I've got one of these i600, and was wondering where to get this good looking plugin. Any idea?
I also wonder where to find a dedicated thread or section here in XDA...
There shouldn't be any i600 sections in xda-dev because it's not an HTC device. At least that's the philosophy I've seen about non-HTC stuff...
I LOVE that the iPhone seems like it will take full advantage the the touchscreen. Too many of these touchscreen PDA phones are trying to please the weenies who are are afraid to touch their TOUCHscreen phones so the on screen interface isn't as capable as it should be. These type of people need to go buy their MS Smartphones or Treos and let the rest of us have large TOUCHscreen phones that are useful...
The iPhone doesn't really interest me too much aside from that aspect. I just hope that Windows Mobile phone makers learn a little of what Apple can teach them without giving up the things that make phones like the Hermes and Universal better devices.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Anyway, XDA isn't fully committed to smartphones, like it is for PDAs.
Now, back to the main point: where can I find and install this wonderfully looking plugin for my i600?
It's already on your phone, go to the display options, start screen and select turn/rotating screen or something (mine is in dutch).

Here's the choice I get from the "Home Screen" menu:
Samsung Simple, Samsung Popup, Samsung Calendar, Samsung Clock, Large Fonts, Orange & Windows Basic / Simple / Default.
Maybe this one was removed by Orange...
Could you extract the them and post it here please?
Found this, witch looks interesting.

Just my 2 cents,
I thought I would check out the plug in he referenced, pretty cool for a free download. Definitely worth a look at any rate.
some more screens
Here is a nice one ;-)
Hey guys maybe it's interesting.

Sorry for posting in "Development and Hacking" . If mods know a better place to post let me know about it!
greetings
fake! look at all the apple icons, and the signal strength and clock switch places.
i thought that these are fake but what convinced me that they are not are the images on the following page
http://www.exedamobile.com/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=7
Where are the apple icons? I personally can't see any.
Apparently, the apple icons are the home and the camera.
It seems that the images aren't fake, the webmaster was used to work with Microsoft France and keep serious contact
Let's see the future...
Translated text using google translate
"
While the arrival of Windows Mobile 6.5 for the year 2009 was announced here and there, then confirmed by Steve Balmer himself at the PDC 2008, Smartphone France is very pleased to present exclusive World 2 first screenshots of what should be Windows Mobile 6.5.
If for the moment there is no real information on the new version of Windows Mobile, what is happening is that Microsoft has finally decided to redesign the interface of the aging systems to try to catch up with his lags behind its competitors.
At visual we can see that Windows Mobile 6.5 is very close to what should be Windows Mobile 7. Does it mean that Microsoft has decided to completely revise their copy as regards WM7 and we propose intermediate version which should be initially WM7? In all what whatever happens in a case closely monitor ... although it will take many months before seeing a new version of Windows Mobile on the market."
my opinion hmmm they look pretty fake but hey we might be wrong who knows
the "T" in youtube is lower case, so that could be another piece showing that its fake.
Very fake (although cool looking)
why is the windows sign in the start menu different in both pictures...i think their fake
Horrible..
Those screenshots look like a mixture of Tango and MacOSX icons.
And I fail to believe that the next complete makeover of Windows Mobile will be proudly presented by QVGA screenshots with low compression. Microsofts interfaces usually dont look well composed, but these look like trying so hard, sorry, I give it a no go as well.
YouTube is owned by Google, somewhat like the biggest rival of Microsoft nowadays. An application integrated in what I suspect to represent the main launcher screen? Sorry, no.
And if that screen can be customized, I'd be highly surprised that there's a YouTube application for an unreleased system, misspelled, available as an install and put on that screen by a developer (who else would have access to a build?). Is YouTube the MS Devs most timeconsuming side-hobby...?
Edit: oh yes, the Windows-flags...
This is pretty hilarious. There is one other thread about these screens where all people approve the new looks. You guys all are haters
I do like the looks much btw.
Cheers.

Get applications like you can get for the iPhone?
I have just had a 'demo' of a load of free apps for the Iphone on a colleagues Iphone and I must admit I was impressed and very surprised, I had always discounted the Iphone as an option for me due to the many (well documented) short commings for power users. However after seeing such applications as the Tioti TV+ which is so quick and smooth and lets you send remote record requests to a Sky+ box - somehting I have been desperate for. Along with great film and cinema applications and many other very neat applications which aren't available on Windows Mobile, I am begining to wonder if I made the wrong decision in purchassing my touch HD??!
Just thought I would share my thoughts with you all....I am sure I will get a barrage of abuse for this post, but would love to know if we think the future of windows mobile may include some more intuitive and consistently looking applications.
P.S. If anyone knows of a SKY+ remote record app which is designed for Windows Mobile I would love to know!
A related question from a relative novice when it comes to downloading and installing apps... is there anything like the iPhone appstore for Windows mobile apps - where applications are listed with screenshots, descriptions, what phones/resolution they work on, etc? I've seen lots of great home-grown apps, and lots of vendor websites that seem to be pedalling a specific product, but haven't seen anything that attempts to bring it all together?
Thanks,
Dave

I don't use Sky+ and have no idea on apps for this - but, I understood it is possible to control the Sky+ box remotely just via an SMS ?
Another possible option is a Slingbox ?

A five second search on google / sky produced this:
http://anytime.sky.com/mobile.aspx
And clicking through to the supported handsets only lists a few manufacturers and I don't think there are any WM devices.
I think it's a Java app? It might work (I don't have Sky, so can't test!).

Perhaps you should read on as there is no compatible version for Windows Mobile 6.1 (HTC Touch HD)!
Hawk
You need to analyse your own requirements before deciding if iphone or HD is right for you.
For me, the lack of GPS software (google map doesnt qualify), office applications, user swappable spare battery, inability to support stylus, and lack of choices in software keyboard in iphone make it an unacceptable choice.
Another person's need might be different.

I've installed the JAVA components and they work on Windows Mobile 6.1 - the issue is that the software expects you to have a keyboard (or a keypad) attached to input various details .... so you can't use it on a Touch HD !
Thank you for all your comments and suggestions, however I don't beleive sites like handandgo etc are anything like the Iphone Appstore, the apps cost a lot more and you have no idea of compatability. I don't beleive you can easily browse for apps on your handset, like you can with for example the Iphone.
I am not saying I think the Iphone is the best choice of phone, but they certainly got somehting right with the app store and wondered if Microsoft will listen up and provide developers an easy route to dev similar apps for windows mobile?!
I Have tried all the Java Sky remote apps before and as you have spotted they do not work with a touch screen device if it doesn't have hardware buttons too. Also even if it did work it is not very user freindly - I was using this as a example of a really usefull app, which I am amazed has not been built for Windows Mobile touch devices too....it just seems weird why there are so many great little apps for the Iphone, which are so easy to download and browse though, yet it has only been about a relatively short time in comparison with Windows Mobile....I find this most annoying!
Anyway, thanks again for your input

You're welcome and good luck with your choice - still an Iphone ?
Yes, the apps in WM are expensive and there is no simple app store. Rumours are around that MS will fix this.
Having said that, the app developers for WM are doing some great work. I have loads of apps on my HD (see other forum posts I've made recently).
I would like a TV guide app that brings in channels from across Europe. That is, one that would allow me to select my favorite channels.
Sorry the Sky+ thing did not work, as I said, I don't have any experience with this. I'm surprised the keyboard SIP did not work when using the java app.

Thank you - will take a look around that and the others suggested by people. I suspect my response will be similar to jrshodges - not overly clear on compatibility and quite expensive. But I won't be pessimistic...
Thanks again.

Cheers Dave, no - not an Iphone...yet...I am happy to persevere with my WinMo device for the forseeable as I do belive I would miss, like others Sat Nav (which by the way I use TomTom and it looks and works great) ease of Exchange sync etc etc.
I just wanted to rant for a bit about the lack of decent and easily accesable apps for WinMo....in the hopes someone would point me in the direction of a lovely MS App Store (wishful thinking!). I hope you are right and wee do see something from MS soon, although I guess they will wait and in include it in Windows Mobile 6.5 or 7 - although by the sounds of it that won't be anytime soon :-(
And if anyone does ever find a decent TV guide and Sky + App then please remember this thread and post it for us!
Its also worth mentioning that although there are a lot of iPhone apps, and yes they are cheap, most are useless eye candy that have about 2 minutes worth of value in them.
Check out my list of apps here:

I don't know much about the Apple apps. But, I can say that some of these WM apps are really serious work and clearly have had lots of effort and thought applied to them.
My latest addition is Pocket Stars - a bit of astronomy fun for me, but a serious app for enthusiasts.
The iphone is for simple folk. The app store is for simple folk. IE it works.
WM is bit more complicated but gives those of you willing to use it a lot more freedom.
I do wish there were more apps and games for the HD.
I have both the Iphone and HD at home (well the Mrs has the iphone) once jailbroken the iphone is truly amazing and I almost wish i had one instead, but them my mrs reminds me why i dont have one, I would get board in no time. I played with hers (iphone that is) for a couple of days over the xmas break then went back to playing around on my HD.
Its still early days for the HD and remember the IPHONE has been around for quite some time now.
Give it a little time and the HD will be up there with the iphone, you already starting to see some really nice app/games coming out.
My only other wish would be some way to get multi-touch to work on HD as it makes games very playable on iphone.
The problem with Microsoft trying to replicate the iPhone App Store is that Apple have 2 different handsets to maintain, which are practically identical except for the GPS/3G.
There are many different versions of WM in use, with many software customisations by handset manufacturers and operators and varying hardware abilities.
I'm not sure how it would be possible to test the full range of devices that a particular application may work with. On top of that, people may or may not have updated the firmware for their device, which can break (or fix) applications.
I'd love to see it, but it's certainly more difficult supporting hundreds of different handsets customised by many operators rather than 1 and a bit
I saw on here that someone is working very hard to make a form of "app store" that will work on phones (credit to them for the effort) its called Gecko...i found the link on the forum. Give it time, I think it will come...
Hello everyone, a guy named dashhacker (cheers to him! great work!) recently released a nice app for win and mac to have Remote Play (like PSP-to-PS3 wifi/internet functionality, that is). At first there were to be a WinMo version too, but the developer dropped the idea cause he has no WM devices. And I quote, he said "there are much better WinMo developers than me around"... so I immediately thought about XDA, best WinMo experts on the web!
Here http://www.ps3-hacks.com/forums/about7666.html&p=1 you can find source code and the original topic of the author. Is there anybody interested into making a win to winmo transposition of the ORP? I'd really like to have that on my phone, and I'd be glad to help beta testing the software.
That sounds just great i hope the raphael can use it without lagg...
It works good on the psp
Then u can watch movies from home on ur WM device that is so cool!
I'd love to be a BETA tester too!
Can someone try and create that prgram?
i would also love this!!!!!!!!!!!
This just adds a whole new dimension to "awesome" !
It would be excellent to access the PS3 over the internet, using a WinMo device! Anyone out there come across a solution yet? Had a quick scroll through Dashhacker's site, but didn't see anything related to WinMo.
really, really, really, really want this.....
Just thinking about that this weekend when I was using Remote Play on my PSP. how cool would it be to use on a winmo device!
oh, and did I mention that I really, REALLY want this?

This phone is my first wp7 smartphone! I like it.
Hi.....i have this WP7 device.....it's wonderful
great phone... i love it !
hello xda.
i know xda long time, often i was here and read useful infos about flashing, configure and other tech. details about smartphonearchitecture. for me its fascinating to understand the inner software systems of different smartphone os, but not as much to develop i like to compare and check out the pros and cons of these. today i think my voyage has an end. my first smartphone was a SE Satio i bought very cheap on ebay with a greek firmware - let the party begin.. symbian was great i think, stable, good usability but bad software management. the cybershot camera has made very good pics and with sygic maps it was my allround tool. then the real challenge comes with my LG Optimus Black night by night, day by day i configured this os until death. every few days a new UI, tools bootspashes an so on... there was no end^^ i loved it but it was timewaste! in between of adndroid and all of its blossoms i used an iphone next to android. iOS has shown me a way out of the dark by its simplicisity and smoothnes. in this time learned to love a stable, reliable smartphone OS: hugh amount of well coded apps and apples "everything-cloud-integration" with itunes. good system but there were some things i doesnt like. at first, the possible censorship by apples appstore and for me the elitist mood of beeing an apple user. allright, the hardware is well designed. haptic and manufacture quality is top of the end... but... hm its just apple! u know. most apple users would stone me to death for these words, and exactly this circumstance is reason for me not to be an apple user. then i checked out wp7 ant this is the solution. i m not the ultimate windows fighter, no. linux is my way, on work and private but the new Metro UI of WP7 and Windows 8 and its very good integration on every hardware level such as smartphone, tablet, media center and desktop i think is the right way. due to the fact "keep it small and simple" is Metro the result of, in german i say "fortschritt ist der weg vom primitiven zum komplizierten zum einfachen" ! wp7 is fast, simple and stable. why all these energy wasting eye-candy bull**** for android i prefered?! my smartphone has to work when i need it and not to say "bye bye... my software has killed me and my integrity"
i love my omnia7
i am tight interested, what microsoft will bring in future..
thank you
Hello everyone. I'm using Omnia 7 for several months and I am delighted with it. Now, I just installed the new rom tango 8773, thanks to ceesheim and the rest of the team that has worked. I think it is great work.
I think it'll be a long time, enjoying this wonderful forum.
Hello everybody
I use to visit XDA for a long time now and I really appreciate that people do things like these. I have an Omnia 7 for a year now, and unfortunately, Microsoft could do better work than they are doing. there is 4 major flaws I detect in windows phone.
1. Bluetooth file transfers... old stuff not present ina modern smartphone...
2. Can't send pdf files by email... (What???? ) or other files different from images or docs
3. one can't use "browse" button present in a web page to select a file for upload...
4. Zune "thing" for "syncronize" stuff? come on... Just let us paste a divx movie to watch on the go , or manually select musics and photos to and from device, just like we used to do with old win mobile...
Microsoft tried to "iphonise" their phones... what a pitty!
But as for the rest, pretty good, I think! Thanks for reading this!
Hello all...I will be co-moderating in here now. If u need anything or have suggestions please feel free to pm me.
