Hey DotNetCoder,
It seems to be one v useful app as I fly a lot. I will def give it a try. Any chance to get Luton and London City on the supported airports list?
Nice, thanks DotNetCoder....
....What are your plans for epanding the app to include other UK or indeed worldwide airports? I mainly fly to Cork, my point here is that the app is only useful on one leg of my journey.
Thanks what a useful little app All working fine @ time of testing hoping not to find any bugs
what about the second busiest airport in the UK? Manchester......
US Flights and HD2
Just installed it and tried it briefly, lovely app.
I couldn't seem to find any US flights on it (or is it just me being blind)
Also, I've installed it on the HD2, but can't get the application back after awakening the phone. I have to end task in task manager and re-start it.
Any clues?
really nice app indeed. It would be perfect if it can include some other airport too. Thanks anyway
Great wee app, especially as i have some flying to do in the next little while. Two thoughts, can you give it a pretty icon, i just get the standard white exe icon.
Also another request for additional airports, the two Belfast ones would be really useful for me.
Thanks for the feedback guys and gals.
I originally only intended this for UK BAA airports, as they use the same code.. but after looking at some of the other suggested airports - they shouldn't be too hard to add.
There's lots of places, so I will focus on UK and Ireland international airports, then move onto the US, and then back to Europe.
This project could be quite lengthy - if any other VB.NET coders are reading this and want to help me write HTML parsers that would be v cool. Get in touch via PM if you can (of does anyone know of RSS feeds for this data?).
Before I release any more airports, I'll fix the update code - at the moment it locks out the GUI when refreshing, this will move into the background.
A globe icon has been added, so no nasty white spaces in the next version!

great!! Nice to hear that..looking forward for the next release
Also a provision to select a default airport would be helpful.
Now when I start the app - it always goes to Stansted first and then I have to select Heathrow from the menu.
Overall a really great app! Very helpfull I must say...a must have if you travel
And also if possible a search/filter option - by airline, by flightnumber and by arrival location!

I sorted the problem by installing Duttys Task Manager....Works great now.
I can't see any flights to and from the US, only europe. Are US flights on a different Database?
New update out - your features have been noted, not done much work this week
cool app, found on the open market place, tho only version 1.0, will update to 1.1 later
gatwick and stansted all good,
another vote for london city tho
WOW - great app... adding more airports ?
Is it possible to add London Luton and City airport ?
Also, if possible to add the Terminal information taht would be FANTASTIC !!
Keep on the good work ..
Ravel
Development is temporarily on hold.
I'll be back soon though.
gr8 application congrats m8!!!!!!
could u add John Lennon Airport Liverpool?
thanx a lot again and...walk on...
That'll be on the list. Cheers
Lots of work done on this, but not usable.
I coded in support for FlightStats.com, but it has a bizarre forced redirect to their mobile site, which doesn't have the info I'm looking for.
Background downloading is also in-place (no longer locks up the app during a download) - and you can cancel the download or quit.
Next airports I'm adding support for are Aena (Spanish), as I'm going on holiday there soon

Cool thanks
I need to sort out how I am going to show the results (the request/receive should be done tonight) then it's into beta and I'll try to figure out how to make a cab then get it sent out
Flibb from hexus here, count me in
A quick update
The search page is done (I'm going to add a search field after the first release, want to get a working product out first) and I am sorting out the data at processing it currently (when you click on an item it loads a new page with more info on it then you can open in a mobile bowser or go back to the results)
I'm ALMOST there guys, I have got to sort out the xml still and embed a browser in a new window to show more details on a deal... or I will sort out my own way around it
And another teaser screenshot, I have added support for tags (The search function works great right now, does all the filtering correctly.... BUT I am dealing with the returned XML currently)
Unfortunately you can only use 2 words as anything non alphanumeric is converted to '-' or the API wont recognise it but i'm working around it so you can use as many tags as you want (Just fixed this actually)
So I have the returned data to sort then it should be go I am going to add a 3rd screen where you can get more details on an individual deal (and load in an image of the product)
That is on a 240x400 screen so an Omnia should be fine
If anyone has dealt with DataSets and how to organise it in a ListView please let me know, I'm trying to deal with it right now and it's a PITA as I haven't used it before
If you need webspace; PM me

Just finished off v1.0.1, more some incremental changes than anything else. Thanks for the comments from some of the people that have used it
v1.0.1
Changes:
- Fixed installer (app shows up in programs menu as HotUKDeals (with the icon )
- Warning if you get no results instead of loading a blank page
- Slight redesign of results menu (the description at the bottom only shows when you have selected a deal
http://rapidshare.com/files/274779810/HotUKDealsInstallerv1.0.1.CAB
installed and working a treat on my topaz
Cheers
Apologies for not keeping this more up to date, some good and bad news...
Good:
I just got back from holiday
I have plenty of ideas for things to try out for improving the application
I won the category I entered for the contest it was for
http://www.hotukdeals.com/rest-api/contest
Bad:
Obviously being on hliday means no development work done since last update.
Resuming studies in the next few weeks for my degree so it will be much more of a side project as I work on my dissertation
I have had very little feedback on it To be honest I want as much critical feedback as possible.
I'll be working on my own web hosting to avoid reliance on Rapidshare also (I want figures for dowloads of each version etc and having this project on multiple forums means keeping track can be very difficult!)
Thanks for this handy little app works great for me running 6.1 21054
htc prophet
Works on HTC Touch HD, wvga, standard WWE 6.1 ROM
Really like this app, was looking for a PS3, think I may have found one for a good price
Bump to the update, I am going to have some time, I plan to add
- Option to go direct to the website via the link in the page (I have figured out what it is)
But I'd like to know if anything needs to be fixed, if there are any negative points please tell me as I will have some time next month to fix them (got sick leave for a number of weeks due to an upcoming operation)
Been trying to download from rapidshare, but will not let me do so unless I join up, as "no more free slots available"!
Any alternatives?

Worked fine for me on 1.0.1 and the .netCF cabs if you try it again as a free user
Now working, it appears rapidshare blocks free users when it is busy.
Thankyou.
WinMo 6.5 on HTC Touch HD.
App works great, nice and fast, love it.
Cosmetic suggestions:
On the 1st page, maybe make the menu options more finger friendly?
On the results page, maybe split the backgound a bit, like with lined results, which highlight when selected.
Also when selected maybe add a lond decription and the small image?
Badly formatted rough mock up:
...and make the whole bottom part a URL link to the deal itself, like the "Go To Deal" button.
I'm on HotUkDeals EVERY DAY. I love a bargain me.
That looks like a decent suggestion, I have a lot on (doing some demo work on the 360 ATM as well as some big side projects) so I'll try and make the changes that I can seeing as it should be a fairly minor thing to do
I'll try the first page suggestions, will need to see what I can do from the button side of things
Hello guys.
This is my first application for windows mobile. I developed this in a week or so. I used the Windows SDK 6, and I have only tested it on WM6.5 but I assume it will work on WM6.X.
This is a simple application to make lists of what you need to buy. So that way, when you remember to buy something, you put it in the list, and when you need to remember what to buy, you just have to load the list.
Pretty basic stuff.
How to use
It's pretty simple. When you open the application, you’ll have a text box and some buttons. The Add button will add to the list what is written in the text box. The Remove button will remove the selected item from the list. The Clean button will clean the list. Then you have the Save List, Load List, Delete list and About menus. Those are pretty obvious.
How to Install
Run the CAB file from your phone.
Requirements
Windows Mobile 6 ( not tested with previous versions )
.Net Framework Compact 3.5

* Checks whether or not the list has been updated.

Note: this is my first ever release for the windows mobile platform. reply with bugs, suggestions, and criticism is greatly accepted, as long as it's to make my software better.
Thank you.
Not bad for a first app, but if you cold make items little bit biger(more finger frinedly) and little bit nicer graphics
Thanks Yes I know... graphics are not my thing either... I might ask for help from a friend thank you for testing
I was looking for something like this but (and i know this may be past you) I would love to be able to have the ability to share with other devices or pc's so say my wife who is at home can make the list on the pc and send it to my device (could be built in transfer or email somthing liek that) and then i can do the shopping.
that would be fantastic
it is a good start though
cheers

If you want something more sophisticated and with lots of options, like stores, categories, per item prices etc etc, try HandyShopper (free), it is my choice shopping app since years.
Well, as this is the first release its normal everything else might be better...
Thanks for your suggestions
best of luck, though there are alot of competing products out there.
Personally, I use GrocerySort from slimcode
Good App
I usually just use notes for shopping lists, this is a nice little improvment. Faster response than some of the fancy graphics shopping list apps I have used and when shopping basic and easy to use is all I want. Have had no probelms with it so far, the only feature request would be to be able to tick off or strikethrough an item so when in the store I can mark off as I go what I have and havent got.
A good first app, keep it up.

Thanks.. I appreciate that... the Remove button should delete the selected item in the list. I would like to make a checkbox next to the item but its not available in WinMobile SDK... so, waiting for new release from Microsoft.
Thank you for using
Hopefully I can make it better and better.

Great application. It's always inspiring to see a new avid developer in the community. I have no requests because this is your first release. I only wish you good luck and say try to remain motivated.
Thanks I will
There's a new version... be sure to check it out
Hello people. Just to let you know that there are been some changes here on my software. Now there are some check boxes.
Download is on first post. I've updated it.
Thanks.
Looks great, I gave it a try, but was sadden that hardware key support wasn't included.
never really thought about it I'll add on next release
thanks
Great app! Thank you.
Nice easy ad small ... need other ?
.. well maybe there a couple of function that you can evaluate to include in future realese:
1) Autoload a default shopping list.
2) hide/unhide marked item from the list
I downloaded the 1.23 today, I'll test the next time I'll got to shop.
Hello,
I have a suggestion for a feature.
In order to always know how much you will have to pay at the end, you could add a column with allow entering the item cost, frequent buyer card discount, promotions...
This allow to show the grand total.
Fil
Just tried your app, and really like it. I do, however, have some suggestions which I think would make this a killer app, while still keeping it small and simple.
1. Ability to edit items
2. Ability to filter completed items
3. Delete items either individually or several at a time
4. Change the order of items
Good work, and thanks for sharing.
Some suggestions:
1.Have to be two modes - making list and shopping. Making list mode we are almost already have. Just no need to delete last time marked items and next time typing them again - it is possible to check-uncheck and if it wasn't before so add something new.
In shopping mode necessarily full screen without any buttons, fields ets. only list with check boxes.
2.Check box must be at the right side
3.Checked items - crossed out and moved to the end of the list
FootballMonitor 0.39
The Bad news:
I have discontinued this piece of software, after moving away from Windows Mobile.
The Good news:
The sourcecode is attached below. It is C#.NET.
I believe the fix for the current version is very simple
I have created a Football (Soccer) Monitoring Service which alerts you when a team is playing and on score updates.
Configurable for teams, and frequency of update. Works with lots of major leagues round the world.
Still early days, but I hope other people will find this useful.
Obviously it requires an internet connection to get it's data, so my advice is not to use if you don't want to get charged!

Hi, Added some, I will add more when I've captured them.
Been trying out this app for a few days and it is working very nicely. Very prompt updates for live games.
My only criticisms would be :
Interface looks dated (but appreciate that the app is at an early stage of development). Maybe use the Manila SDK to improve visuals?
Performance of phones suffers slightly when serivce is running. Not unbareable but scrolling in HTC Sense is slightly jerky.
Would be good to be able to choose specific Leagues/Competitions rather than just teams.
Populating the list of teams you wish to follow can take a bit of time scrolling through the list of available teams.
An error message appears when clicking on the '>' button on the results page (will post up the full message when I get home this evening)
PS. I'm running the app on an HTC HD2.

Thanks for your information, have you tried version 0.2, the error message should be fixed?
I will look at the leagues/competitions idea.
I haven't seen the Manila SDK, I will look into it. My priority was getting it working first, then looking nice later. I was thinking of looking at this very soon.

Yeah mate, just upgraded to v0.2 and the error message thing is solved. Cheers.
Thats cool about the interface - I figured you were going for functionality over form at the moment since it is early in development.
I've got a few ideas for the interface that would basically utilise drop-down menus for selecting Competitions/Teams. I'll quickly draft something up in Photoshop at the weekend if your interested?

I'm a football fan and i just love to see software released to help us keep track of our favorite teams!
To every one that loves football i also recomend "Team Stats".
Cheers!
I have had this a few days! Great app.
But I select lower league teams, Swindon and I didnt get any updates of the score, although I was glad as they lost.
I have Liverpool and Everton and they both worked.
So not sure why the lower leagues arent working.

Sorry about that Keith, tell you what, next time they play can you change the log-level to 2 and, if you have the same problem, can you send me the log file from inside the directory?
I presume you're talking about Tuesdays match?

This is great application. Just it's made for UK time zone.
I'm living in central Europe, and all times are shift by 1 hour.
Because of this, live notifications doesn't work.
When app. is waking up at shifted time, it's give me a message "No match today" (or something like that).
Could you please make it "Timezone independent"? Just read the zone from system and shift all match times.
Thanx
Anyway, good work.
One to keep an eye on.
Which Leageus are covered?

Strange, I thought I made it so it already did this, it takes the time, and converts to local time. Can you check in the log file, there will probably be a line saying something like "SLEEP", then a time. Can you check whether the time for a local match you know starts at a certain time, is incorrect?
Anyone else seeing this problem?

It should cover all the major leagues round the world. And by major I mean basically any professional leagues. Here is a list of the leagues which have matches for today, Friday 12th:
Argentina: Primera División
Austria: T-Mobile Bundesliga
Austria: ADEG Erste Liga
Austria: Regionalliga East
Bulgaria: A Grupa
Chile: Primera División
Croatia: 1. HNL
Czech Republic: Division 2
England: League Two
England: Blue Square South
France: Ligue 2
France: National
Germany: Bundesliga
Germany: 2. Bundesliga
Germany: Regionalliga North
Germany: Regionalliga South
Germany: Regionalliga West
Hungary: Soproni Liga
Ireland: Eircom Premier
Ireland: Eircom 1. Division
Israel: Leumit League
Italy: Serie A
Italy: Serie B
Netherlands: Eredivisie
Netherlands: Eerste Divisie
North & Central America: CONCACAF Champions League
Paraguay: Primera Division
Poland: Ekstraklasa
Poland: Division 2
Portugal: Liga Sagres
Romania: Liga I
Russia: Premier League
Singapore: S-League
South America: Copa Libertadores
Spain: Segunda Division
Turkey: Superliga
Wales: Premier
So fairly comprehensive! Tomorrow's list will be huge!
A few questions:
Can the score update be disabled? Due to being 8-9 timezones away, when the games are playing I'm working. I set my DVR to record and watch when I get home.
Can the app notify of upcoming matches up to 2-3 days in advance?
And the above mentioned time zone dependent... It would be great!!!
Thanks!

Sorry about that Keith, tell you what, next time they play can you change the log-level to 2 and, if you have the same problem, can you send me the log file from inside the directory?
I presume you're talking about Tuesdays match?

It looks promising. I have got the message about them playing today! well Saturday, which I suppose is today.....
I did add a couple more teams, I then turned my phone off then on and got another messages saying all the teams selected are playing today, so maybe it needs a restart to make it work?

A few questions:
Can the score update be disabled? Due to being 8-9 timezones away, when the games are playing I'm working. I set my DVR to record and watch when I get home.
Can the app notify of upcoming matches up to 2-3 days in advance?
And the above mentioned time zone dependent... It would be great!!!
Thanks!

1) The score update can be disabled, which would only give you the result when the match has finished. Otherwise, what would be the point in actually running the app, to know when the next match is?
2) Currently, no it cannot notify of matches that far in advance. The information it gets to build this data does not have more than 1 day.
3) Yeah, the time zone thing should be fixed now in version 0.21

Ah, yes, the service needs a restart after you've added more teams, I have made a note to prompt on add.
Great app! wish it worked on my Touch Pro, but when I click on configure -> choose teams, program hangs and pocketpc becomes very slow... any ideas?
no Scottish Premier League? Go Celtic!
Hello everyone,
We have released a free new Windows Mobile application called Who's Near Me. In a nutshell, this application uses GPS (or cell tower info if no GPS) to determine your location and then displays other users that are nearby you - along with their photo, age, gender, and bio. You can then start an anonymous message conversation with anyone on the list. It uses your data connection only so you are never charged for any text messages.
The application is still considered beta but has already been in closed testing for a few weeks. Most major issues should be resolved at this point. We plan to add it to the Microsoft Marketplace for Mobile as a free application in the next few weeks - at which point we expect the number of active users to increase substantially. A Windows Phone version (with additional functionality) will also be available at the launch of the WP7 platform.
The application is free (100% free, no advertisements even), small, and pretty cool. You can download the latest version of the application from our website as a cab file directly to your phone at http://www.synergetechsolutions.com/whos-near-me.aspx. The download link is pretty clearly located to the right of the page title. I have also uploaded the current release's cab file to this post. This current release is focused for touch devices and no testing has been done with non-touch phones. Windows Mobile 5.x and 6.x are both supported. The Microsoft .Net Compact Framework 2.0 is required on the device.
Since the application is in beta, your feedback would be greatly appreciated. You can either use the feedback form in the application or post your feedback to this forum post.
Thanks,
Brian P. Hamachek

Cool app. If you all can get everyone to adapt and use this program, it could become it's own personal social network giant. Kind of like speed meeting
Who's near me?
Well - I still don't know. Heard about the app from 1800pocketpc. But so far, can't get it going. Downloaded from the dev's website. It says it was installed correctly. Then when I open it it says, "Connecting to service..." and it just goes around and around without ever connecting.
I wonder if it is because I live in a rural area (Boron Ca 93516) without very good cel coverage? Bc I thought I read it works to position you through cel towers.
I have no idea. Wanted to test it. But no luck so far.
Crash after view SynergeTech user profile. Fail to connect to server then.
Using HTC HD2.
started good,chatted a little bit.also notified by answers.
then after a while, I tried to answer again and app crashed. restart didn't work "profile error"
After soft reset my hd2 was very slow.no background process to see.restart still failed.
reinstall takes no effect.sometimes it crashes to answer, afterwards profile error.
but the app is young and a great idea.
please add options to switch off/on gps localization and use cell manually.
the footprint/cpu usage is quite high and noticeable on hd 2...
sended also report by app, but crashes afterwards...
keep up good work! thanx
Mine also just stops and get stuck on the Connecting to service... on my touch pro 2.. great concept though.. Cant wait to get a working version.
Same thing here. Gets stuck at the connecting screen. ...On TP
Will be waitin for the app to start working...
Thanks for all of the feedback. As I stated, this application is still a beta release. We have just published a major update though and the issues some of you were having should be resolved at this point. The application is picking up popularity in Europe so it is definitely worth taking a look at if you live there. Here are the changes that this update include:
Substantially redesigned the user interface (see attached screenshots)
Added a settings screen - including filters for narrowing down the nearby people list
Added support for showing distances in either Kilometers or Miles
Added ability to "delete" messages in order to reduce clutter
Fixed local timezone bug on messages list.
Added terms and conditions consent screen.
Fixed geo-locating issues for some locations.
Added auto-update (with a confirmation prompt) feature.
Fixed issue that caused profile to revert to showing age 13
Many, many, many performance/bandwith enhancements
Many, many, many minor cosmetic and usability improvements
Overall, the application is much more usable now. We hope to get it into the Marketplace for Mobile as soon as possible - which is when it should really get intresting.
You can learn more here: synergetechsolutions.com/whos-near-me.aspx
I have attached the latest cab file for the application to this post.
Thanks!
Latest beta still is not working on my Sprint Tp2. I hit agree to terms and conditions page and gets stuck there now. Would like to give this a try..
Check and see if there is a file called "WhosNearMeLog.txt" in your My Documents (or Personal) folder on the device. If an error is occuring during connecting, it should be logged there. Please send me that file and I will diagnose the issue for you and either fix it in our software or let you know how to resolve it on your end. Thanks.
at first: it's an app, which it free and a beta - soo I appreciate your efforts and don't mind in any way if something doesn't work.
just want to say thank you!
now the result if new cab:
it can't connect to service.
I installed it to internal storage and switched on wifi.
but no way to start it.
I saw... you rely on wwe ... and I have german rom. so I didn't found it in startmenü (= start menu) and had yoi start it in /storage card/programme (not programs or program files)
perhaps the .cab lacks the international parameters like %ce1% or %ce11% ?
or inside app is a wwe-path hardcoded?
here's my log:

It's working fine on my T-Mobile HD2. Wish there were more people using it though (of course). Nearest person to me is 3000+ miles away...hahaha
Works on Hd2
Just testing it now, works well. Thanks.. Found 28 people and nearest person is 48 miles away

I will look into this. The application is currently being used primarily by users located in Germany (due to a popular German website writing about it) and I haven't heard of this problem yet so not sure why it isn't showing in your start menu.

Someone else reported that the application would not run when installed on a storage card. They reinstalled in the device's main memory and it worked for them though. The application isn't excessively large (around 1MB) so hopefully this will be a suitable workaround for you. This will be addressed in hopefully the next release though.

Obviouslly, this application's value really won't show until a fairly substantial userbase has been established. I am actually fairly encouraged by the number of users that the application has established already though. I was expecting hopefully 50 users would help beta test the application. In reality, the application has had well over 1,500 users try it in just the last 48 hours. Our goal is to add the application to the Microsoft Marketplace for Mobile as a free download once the bugs have been eliminated - hopefully sometime in the next 2 weeks. Hopefully, that exposure will be enough to get the number of users high enough to make the application intresting. Microsoft has also expressed intrest in helping promote the application.
I created a story on Digg about the application. Feel free to Digg it at http://digg.com/d31Qx8J. If it gets enough Diggs, that would really help to get the word out there about it as well.
Thanks!

Thanks,
I have tried installing to sd and main memory with no luck. I get past the connecting to service page, but after i hit agree on the terms and conditions page it just gets stuck there. I dont have "WhosNearMeLog.txt" anywhere on the device.
Thanks again for your ongoing support.
Does your culture's number formatting conventions use a comma before the decimals? For example: 1,20 rather than 1.20
Well, that is what beta tests are for, right?
Jdignazio, please let me know if this updated version works for you.
Version 0.4 BETA (Released on 5/13/2010)
- Fixed issue that prevented connection from devices set to a locale that uses a comma before decimal digits (Example: 4,77 rather than 4.77)
- Redesigned profile picture selection screen and also added functionality to use phone's camera to take a new photo for usage as the profile photo
- Fixed issue where deleted message conversations would return upon the next launch of the application

Still no go on a HTC TP2 on Sprint. Retried installing the new version in main memory.
Some suggestions:
Please add a version number to the name of the file.
Please add autocheck.autoupdate feature in the program once it is run.
thanks and keep up the good work.
Who's near me APP
Tried it seems to be working pretty good here in Seattle. No one even remotely close to me and plus they all dudes.....bummer
seems to work fine for me, installed and running from the storage card on my HD2. using vodaphone as a supplier.
nearest person is 33 miles away from me, and i live in hemel hempstead in the UK.

I hope no-one minds but I got my Mozart yesterday and the only link that seems to talk about what is good and bad about it (here) hasn't had a new entry since November.
I also reckon that the Microsoft Developers know that xda-developers is the only place to go for sensible smartphone discussions and hopefully they will read this and make some changes.
I wasn't convinced that the Mozart would be better than my HD2 but actually....
Good:
Great Screen Resolution
Fast
Internet Explorer is better than I expected and the Pinch to Zoom is great
I like the start screen and the way the 3G signal gets out of the way
Bad:
No Comm Manager - switching on WiFi, Bluetooth, Flight Mode is a real pain
No Internet Sharing - AARRRRGGGHH!
Can't find my WiFi with hidden ESSID - GGGRRRRR!
No MyPhone Sync
I'm not sure I'm keen on the lock-down on apps - it's probably the only thing that will force me to Open Source Android.
I used gyrator2 to switch the screen off when I turned the HD2 vertically down - it saved on battery.
Thank goodness MS don't seem to have made WP7 into a steppingstone to a proper OS (like vista was to Win7!). The way I'm using it, it's the almost finished.
I'm hoping that someone will come up with a Comm Manager App. But I don't know about the other stuff.
Has anyone else got anything to add? What would make WP7 work better for you?
PS Please move this if it's duplicated elsewhere.
Thanks for the heads-up, just brought a Mozart today expecting delivery on Tuesday, I've come from the Android phones Galaxy S & X10 Mini, will be interesting to see how this shapes up against them.
anoyances
i also bought one and generally i think they realy solved the job doing a MS based phone that works. (i moved from a diamond2 with os6.5)
but what realy makes me angry is that i read in the commcersials and specs that i could use mp3 for ringtones (wich phones cant today anyway). but even if being a trivial requerent i would not go with out it.
now i realize that i can use mp3 - BUT ONLY IF I BUY IT FROM ZUNE WTF!!!!!
are they trying out the apple business plan?
im aware that i can "jail break" (where did i last hear about this.. og iPhone/apple) .. but i risk brick´ing my phone and thats a bummer.
still realy nice phone.
a file handler would be nice though and some grouping functionality. the start screeen cannot collect all your messaging and mail in a single icon for access. you have to add evry single one of them in the shortcut list for ease of access.. thats anoying if you have 4 mail and text messaging like me.. grouping would rock..
another thing is "People" its a looker if you want to see contratct and facebook updates, byt anoying for phone contact list
and whats it with the contact list? you cannot sync with outlook only exchange serveres. otherwise you have to expose your full contact list on windows live or facebook to get it synced to your phone.
now i believe i should be paid for using my phone then.. they get to know me and all of my friends including phone info, full name, job detaisl address etc etc. thats something that valueable.. and i dont get to choose if i want to take part.. i want money Zune/HTC and Microsoft!
im semi pleased .. nice phone but realy creapy business methods
A week later....an update
I can see what you're saying js0937.
I'm not really into changing the ringtone but I did notice that you couldn't do it. I can't believe that it has to come from Zune - it does make Android seem very attractive!
I've coped with the Outlook / Live syncing by having a separate account for my contacts but it is a bit long-winded.
I'm waiting for the update (due in Jan 2011 but when??? we're already two-thirds through!) to see whether these problems get solved.
Given that I worked with winphone 6.5 for so long, winphone7 is still much, much better but I still want Internet Sharing and a Comm Manager

Update whill be soon (7 feb.?)
h..p://microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/update-info.aspx
Hoping the update sorts the voice dialing out as its rubbish compaired to 6.5. This is a big step back. Be nice to get more info of what the update will bring. Roll on the 7th, fingers crossed.
My 2 cents
Ye, here you have the list:
MUSTS (otherwise I will NOT use the phone for my business):
- Network sharing
- People view by company OR search by company
- copy paste OR use selected text as signature
- outlook categories (seriously!) sort/show calendar, ppl, by category
- tasks list
WANTS (It would be nice to have it):
- activesync with desktop (mailny notes, and such)
- messaging hub (it is enough to group it together in one tile displaying summary of all unread messages, no matter from where they come. It can link to selection screen, where I can pick the mail/messaging account).
- connect tasks with SharePoint lists
- see Active Directory coleagues callendars (or at least simple meeting assistant that shows free/busy for attendees)
- Remote Desktop Connection (it is a pity that having that screen I cannot connect to my virtual desktop if needed)
I am business guy, and always used WinMo as a nice tool. Now... I have waited so long for WP7 and I cant use it for work. I gave it to my Woman, and now I am considering other OSes...
Microsoft, you are pissing on your most loyal customer segment!
