apparently I will have to purchase this lil app since there are no WM 2k5 devices with UMTS HHDPA I can purchase before 2k6. :cry:

I could be wrong on this, but.... I don't think there is anything to purchase. I think it's free. :D

It is free indeed. Not like "Mobile With Style" proggy.

The latest version offers support for QVGA devices (C550), international characters, different languages, and options on the highlight style.

I haven't seen a screenshot of that size on Smartphone Thoughts in quite some time. It looks brilliant. :D

I wish we had more QVGA devices and thus had more screenshots like this. :( I really like posting these - they're so nice and pretty, eh?

This software does look great, but can you advise a novice how to download it on a MPX220. I downloaded to my desktop, unzipped it, now what.
I imagine I just drag it over to my smartphone icon on my desktop "my computer"
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Which installer did you download - the CAB file? Is so, do not unzip it. Copy the CAB file to your device. Place it on your storage card. Then run File Manager (on your phone) browse to the file and launch it. It will then walk you through the install.

Let us know how that works out for you. 8)
