When it becomes available for windows mobile i was just wondering if anyone would use it? To me it seems like a great idea that could really take off. Hopefully someday it will be active in the UK too .
i
Also anyone actually using it on there android phones?
http://www.waze.com/
It does look a great idea. Fingers crossed it comes to the UK and WM.
Waze has come a long way since this thread was started three years ago. Today, available for iphone and Android, I believe it will someday be the number one navigation app. It will be interesting to see what new features will be implimented in their Version 3.5, which will be released soon.
I have installed and tryed out about seven GPS navigation apps. So far, the more I use Waze, the more I like it. I have signed up to be a Beta tester.
Hi All,
What do people think is the best application to watch video and listen to music on the HD2?
Also has anybody put togeter a list of the top 10 must have apps for the HD2?
Cheers,
P
I'm afraid I don't know, but I desperately want to, and I'd prefer this list to be the Top 100 Apps.
I mean, Leo has unbelievable specs for such a little unit, but I feel like what's the point if there are hardly any apps to take advantage of it?
I'm very much hoping that WinMo 7 will be a success, HTC will stay true to its rumours and give us an update, and developers will get interested in WinMo on the same scale as the iPhone.
you will probably get a better response in the software section.

The core pocket media player is in my opinion the best video player available to date.
I don't remember as to how well it worked on the hd2 though.
My phone is off to be repaired so I wouldn't be able to try till I get it back.
Here is the link to the site:
http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/
dont have a list but here are some applications i really like and use
fpsece (playstation 1 emulator)
nav4all (free satnav, because i dont use satnav much and im too tight to pay for nav 4 all)
the flashlight application (cant remember the real name but uses your flash as a torch)
[email protected] CM internet router (came from this forum... allows you to use your phone as a wireless router... This feature is removed in o2 roms so the application is well needed)
Just got Att/Surround -Feel a bit betrayed by MS with WM7 phone OS as it seems they are copying apple and google for the $$ and control of apps with no 3rd party app. Seems that they have simplified the OS Have been a PDA user for many years since Palm went to HTC 8525 to Pure and now Surround. I am in no way wm phone geek but I do like to mess with my phone and experiment a little. Agree a lot with this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838877 as in there are many things about the phone I think are awesome, but MS don't lose the reason I have stuck with WM for years now and not gone with Apple. It is a leftist commie plot !!!!
I think I am going to return this phone and go with IP4, reason -Apps for W7 only available through marketplace no 3rd party, IP4 has tether, cut copy paste, video MMS, Skyfire Browser...
Tell me why I should not plz
Thanks
I recently switched from my touch pro 2 (running energyROM) to a htc surround (yesterday to be exact) and I've played around with it extensively.
To be honest, I've tweaked my touch pro 2 immensely to my personal liking and also added a bunch of reg edits and apps. The WP7 is not as tweakable but so far I'm loving how smooth and intuitive it is compared to my touch pro 2. All the speed tweaks, functionality tweaks (including pocketshield, quickGPS, etc), and updates that i've added to my previous touch pro 2 can't measure up to the Surround.
True, there are some things that can be worked out with WP7 (such as the things you mentioned) but they are still in the first months of releasing the OS and I've heard there will be a big update releasing this month that include cut, copy, paste, etc.
I would wait it out at least for the first big update to see what has changed before you decide to switch to an iphone 4.
After all, if you want to switch to iphone, you're still losing the ability to mess with your phone and experiment.
Even though I've only used the Surround for 2 days, I don't regret switching over from 6.5 (with its file explorer and reg tweaking and other stuff :]).
Maybe I'm done with all the experimenting and tweaking from all the previous windows phones but at the end of the day, I want something that's fast and won't take 10 seconds just to open up a text message (in HTC messenging). And being able to watch family guy and simpson on netflix with the kickstand up is AWESOME.
The BIGGEST thing that's bugging me right now for the Surround is that BING maps is TERRIBLE. And there is no google maps or GPS navigation software yet meaning I'll have to stick with crappy BING maps which only locates towns/citys/countries and can't even find my nearest starbucks. And there is no Tomtom or iGO so I'm stuck using my touch pro 2 to navigate me in my car.
Hopefully the update will cover this cause for me the device is useless for it's gps functionality right now.
Hi All,
I've just been given an Omnia 7 and I'm not sure what to do with it.
I have an HTC Wildfire (Unlocked running CM) and my initial thoughts were to put CM on the Omnia, after a bit of research I found this wasn't possible.
So do I migrate from Android to Wm7 on the Omnia (and how would I copy my contacts etc) and is it worth it?
I don't expect an answer to: is Android better than WM7 (nor is this the place for it) but has anyone else came from Android to WM7? Anyone prefer the Omnia over the Wildfire etc? Are there like for like apps between Android and WM7? Things like Task killer, utils, games etc
If I do use the Omnia is it worth upgrading (as per the great guides on here) and what version should I upgrade to?
I also notice that the links to the Samsung USB Driver/Flash utilities don't work any more, does anyone have a copy of they available to dl?
Appreciate I'm asking a lot here, any advise would be greatly received.

its all about tast , If I where you I would play with the omnia for some time.

Just to point out that it's not AMOLED Plus, it's just SuperAMOLED. Galaxy S2, Galaxy Tab 7.7 (the new one) and Galaxy Nexus are the top-tier devices for the moment utilizing Super AMOLED Plus display matrix.
Like i said to derik123derik123, i´ll try to put my toughts in a parcial way...
First of all, i´ve been always merging between iOS and Android,like them a lot, lived with it for years, all kinda of mobiles, jailbreakin, rootin,flashing custom, downgradin, even opening to change hardware parts...
Last year i had Motorola Atrix 4G and iPhone 4S, great ones, but without the opportunity to live with an oficial ICS ROm, i sold Atrix and in this January without jailbreak and tired of iOS, sold iPhone 4s....
Now, i had the opportunity and bought and Samsung Omnia 7...remember when you´re a kid and saw that toy in TV or Movie and when you got it sounds just more perfect then you could thought? When sounds that you will pass your entire life with it spending all minute just adoring it?
Well, i felt just like when started to use Omnia 7 with Mango 7.5, i really felt happier each time i scrolled my finger, the system is so fluid, so fast, so responsive, its beautiful, its simple, modern and intuitive, you dont have to dig its already there in your face.
For the first time i felt that my years with Droid and iPhones passed...Microsoft has now conquered me and surprised with an inteligent innovation, they just create something unique, there is nothing in their system that remebers Android or iOS, they have their identity.
I think that if you like the new, the unique and different, Windows Phone 7 it´s a new and beuatiful world to explore all time.
Well I took your advice. I gave my Wildfire to the wife (Her G1 was getting a bit long in the tooth) and installed mirolg's excellent rom.
I'm now sat here with the Omnia running the mirolg unlocked rom and I'm impressed! Google/Facebook/Linkedin contact all came across and worked perfectly.
Yes the screen is very nice, must get some video to play on it. Just a few niggles though if anyone can help.
It would be nice to be able to turn on/off 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS from the start screen. I've installed toggle but it only does 3G and Wifi, anyone know of an app that does all 4?
Slightly annoyed that there is no SD slot to upgrade the capacity, I though most phones came with this these days.
On a much wider note are there any 'must have' apps or games on this device? What do you lot run and recommend?
Look forward to the replies!

Thanks again for all the help! Supreme shortcuts is exactly what I wanted and I've installed most of the apps mentioned by the awesome mirolg.
Phone is now almost perfectly setup...........apart from Zune! For a start it's seems unnecessary as I was used to drag and drop on Android, but I can live with it.
What I can't live with is the way it won't copy a full album over! I have a lot of Audio Books, I do a lot of driving and I find them better than music.
They are all ID3 marked up and work fine on all other devices. I sync them up with the Omnia 7 and for some reason it copies over file 1,2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 etc!!
I really don't understand why it will not copy the FULL contents of the album, I've checked the tags, they are all good, all files are there and play on other devices, I have removed and re added the library, but no. It does not seem to work!
Also, a very strange thing. I fully charge the phone, connect Bluetooth in the car and the phone to USB to charge and by the end of my journey (6Hrs) the phone battery is nearly dead! I havn't used the phone for anything, 3g, Wifi, GPS all turmed off!
Any idea why the phone seems to discharge? I know the USB port on the Car Stereo is fine as I have used other phones with it.
Thanks again, I'd appreciate any advice!

@Pasquiindustry
I have had this app installed on a couple of tablet devices.
Can you get it to work on Windows 10 mobile? Is it possible? The Elite X3 and Idol 4s could use something like this, and most users who bought new hardware lately bought those two models.

Unfortunately this type of app can't be made for others Windows 10 devices other than Desktop. Maybe something will be possible on unlocked devices, but even with unlocks, Windows 10 Mobile still has some limitations.
