I've been using winmo for a while, and the only thing i've noticed is that its applications - or better, most of the ones i've tried - do not look so good.
They are usually pretty squared, no nice to see interface, no sounds nice.
I mean, come on, HTC is able to put an interface like TF, so it seems that smooth angles, curves and nice icons can be installed.
The comparison is unfair, though: in fact, the other therm for the comparison is the list of the Apple's App.
i mean, i've seen GTA for ipod touch, and it was.. amazing!! And it even didn't need a keybord to work!!
Of coruse you pay for most of them, but they are usually stunning things to look at application:and i've thought: why don't we list the better looking ones - doesn't care if they're useful - for windowsmob??
Gameloft application are not so good either for our phones, are they?
However, I have some:
Pac-man ( well, keyboard needed )
DiVX Player
Youtube
Fim
Chaotic Antibiotic -pay
K-RALLY - pay
Black Core Logic - pay
Opera Mobile 10 ( thanks to jannemann22 ) great interface
Might and Magic - pay
touch weather -(pay/sharewere)
weel -(free)
world cup 2010 app
metro calc -(free)
roadSMS/transparent SMS -(free)
..
this is reserved.
opera mobile 10! it does have an amazing interface

this is a GREAT TRUTH, i hate the fact that the winmo apps aren't look "beauty"
i think that the iphone style is really ugly, winmo must be oriented to the "lateral sliding/page scrolling" imho
in my searches for a nice stuff on display i find
-touch weather (pay/sharewere)
-weel (game) (free)
-some sense oriented app (but they don't fit with winmo classic layout) like shopping list, sense task, 19 (a student game) (all free)
-the perfect design was on a world cup 2010 app, really cool.. i like a lot of app like that (free from mobile practices)
- metro calc (free)
-roadSMS/transparent SMS (free), another way that the "nice apps" have to be... clear graphics, and camera background (but a solid color could be cool too)
ps
this thread is really intersting. i am not searching for the best functionality or to iphonish my smartphone... but i'd like to spot at something i really love when look at my mobile!
i'm looking for apps all around the gamers' websites, like handango, glu etc.. when i'll be able to find other nicelookin apps, i'll be posting. ( soon )
I'm fairly new to the android seen with not much knowledge in this area at all i think the last time I played with a phone was a SE w810i when i flashed it :L, however i played a lot with a couple of iPod touches, jailbreaking them modding them etc.
So, i have no intentions of doing this whole ROOT thing to my phone YET but i will be when i have gotten used to the phone and explorered android enough to feel ok to ROOT it and explore and exploit my phone to my liking.
I do realise I could have took a smarter option when it came to buying an android but I always love SE phones so a combo of the two has me well chuffed....
so i'm just wondering
app wise
game wise
theme wise
accessory wise
I love them small addictive flash games like doodle jump, angry birds, i love my phones theme looking good/beautiful/awesome.
I love having lot's of wallpapers, abstract, carbon, matte and black mostly,
I love my music and SE's range of accessories
I love all those HTC widgets and the desire so any widgets that resemble them as much as possible would be much appreciated, for I.e. pre patched fancy widget that mimmicks the exact copy of HTC's weather widget clock, i have launcher pro plus for the messages, facebook and contact widgets, but are there others that mimmick HTC's interface almost exactly?
I love messing about with the cool camera effect apps
also what browser do you use on your android or Xperia?
You should find some extra info on http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Xperia_X10_Mini
Things I find very cool: Alarmdroid, led light, swiftp, terminal, busybox, sshd, original calendar, skype, gtalk.
Well done on your purchase, you already made the best first step by coming to XDA heaps of friendly helpful people on here.
I like "Beautiful Widgets" Clock and Weather widgets... you can download heaps of different Clocks and Weather icons.. (including HTC Sense style clocks)
Vignette is the best Image effects program I have found (funky old camera effects and frames)
Smartkeyboard Pro is a pretty good text input option
Z4root for rooting (really simple one click application to gain root) when your ready for that.. go on! don't be scared!
then.. Titanium Backup, Root explorer.. etc
You have already discovered Launcher Pro, thats a good step.. not as easy to theme as ADW Launcher but still the Home screen of choice by most people because of its speed and Battery usage. (I use Launcher Pro plus too)
The Music player on the X10mini/pro is a bit crap.. there are some good ones out there, I use Meridian but Cube (3) is also pretty cool, I am sure there are others if you look around.
And a few good games..
Angry Birds (of course)
Abduction
Fruit Ninja
Monkey Kick (simple but fun)
2 player Reactor is great if you want to play with your partner or friends when your bored.
too many to list but thats a start for you..
Hope that helps and welcome to the X10mini/pro threads! happy reading/playing.

In this thread, recommend crucial apps you are running on your Atrix. Whether it is a great game/productivity app/something you just can't go without on a daily basis, post here and let everyone know what you think. I will try to categorize the posted app reviews/recommendations and post them alphabetically in the OP every day or so - this way hopefully we can help each other out with new stuff, and even give a general consensus on wise purchases (although small, everything adds up).

Keyboard From Android 2.3+ (Gingerbread Keyboard) - Even with the release of the Gingerblur Beta that incorporates the Gingerbread keyboard - I keep coming back to this one. This keyboard is identical to the actual Gingerbread keyboard, but allows for the keyboard to be configured to your liking (key height, row spacing etc.) which can result in a much larger, easier to type keyboard. There is also a free version, but the free version does not allow key customization. Also comes with different themes. Best keyboard IMO.

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardpro&feature=search_result
Swiftkey - Keyboard that learns from you and attempts to predict whole words and sentences. Works really well, if the whole prediction thing is your thing. I still prefer to tap things out manually, but this certainly gave the Gingerbread keyboard a run for its money. Would be much better if you could resize the keys - but is still definitely worth a try.

Couple questions for you pros:
1. do you guys use a task manager type app for managing running apps? ...some apps i have kind of start from scratch if i log back in after leaving it..so would be nice to have an app mgr i think?
2. I have a gas app for prices, but would love to see something integrated into the google maps app so its a one stop shop...any way to do that? also the nav is great but the voice is BLEH...any way to sub it?
3. Is tapatalk worth the purchase..it's only a couple bucks but i haven't actually paid for any apps yet...i guess its hard to buy an app before you've even tried it. i think all apps should offer at least a short free trial, even if its one day

Don't see that..possible Gingerblur rom has is removed..?
But really i am looking for something that helps me get back into a running app without starting from the home screen of it
perfect example, i hit the tapatalk icon to get back to xda forum and i had to start all over rather than go to where i was just a minute ago before
I'm officially restarting this thread and taking it over and updating it from now on. It's a wonderful resource and we should really try to get it stickied, please contact Mr. Clown as he has not responded to me yet. Any suggestions? Please to make! Big thanks to acPIZZA for starting the OP.

I've been using "Battery Monitor Free" by Simmo and it's been working quite well. I like the widget better than Circle Battery as it shows temperature and voltage as well. Just a personal preference deal though probably, both show 1% increments and seem to be accurate in doing so.
Also, I would like to warn anyone installing via Appbrain, the Appbrain market application has some sort of weird leak so that it accounts for 15% of battery loss. It also will constantly restart itself if ended, so there really is no option besides an uninstall unless you like shorter battery life.
If you really want to have a game list, you probably want another topic, but regardless you should at least include Fruit Ninja ^^
Alchemy is another fun little game.
In terms of communication apps:
imo beta is a great mass-IM application, having MSN, Skype, Facebook, GChat, etc support. However, it is still beta so there are occasionally bugs. I would recommend it though if you like to use Skype along with other protocols, as it is the only IM app that I've found to also support Skype.
eBuddy is also nice, having the same tab layout and such, though it doesn't have Skype support. It's more stable at the moment than the beta imo release however. I use it as a backup.
setCPU is one of the obvious must-have root apps, being that you can underclock for battery saving whether you're doing simple tasks or just have your screen off.
Evernote is a must-have notetaking app, with syncing to your desktop application and website, image and voice notes, and some nice sharing features.
Weatherbug is a nice weather app, it has a good GUI and nice notification temperature deal. Does not have any noticeable effect on battery life in my experience. I've heard some negative things about the paid version however, so I would watch out.
Just a few.
None of the links ending with "=search_result" work.
EDIT:
Actually the post seems to be copied from another post, but not the proper way (quote and copy quote contents).
They work for me on multiple browsers, whether or not I'm logged in. Try again?
