My Windows Mobile smartphone, my everything

Monday, 01 September 2008

My Windows Mobile smartphone serves many purposes to me

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 :D. Apart from that, I use CallFilter to block any unwanted incoming calls or SMS.

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

It's preinstalled theme, just change the colour theme to red and change the
wallpaper to flower.jpg

If you are talking about the homescreen, it's
using sliding panel which is the standard GUI on Windows Mobile 6.1

Just open them, and there's an option to edit, but very limited functionality
