Hello everyone. I have been using a PocketPC for years and got tired of carrying it around. So, I just picked up a Cingular 2125 WM5 QVGA Smartphone for FREE thanks to an Amazon rebate!

I was just wondering what everyone's favorite, most used applications are for WM5 QVGA. It would be neat to see a top 5 list from a bunch of different people (apps/games/utilities/whatever). Thanks!

I'll add Facade to the list. The combination if Papyrus and Facade provides an experience very similar to PocketBreeze on the PPC.
I aslo like NewsBreak and CityTime Alarms.

Thanks a lot guys! These apps will keep me busy for a while.

I loaded TCPMP up, and dropped a DIVX version of an episode of "Lost", and was pretty surprised when it played it with no coversion to a low-res mobile format! Of course, it ran a bit choppy, but the picture quality was fantastic!

Hey ditch_azeroth,

Where did you find the wikipedia .mdx file? I tried out the lexipedia demo, but it ended up hitting the wikipedia site for $5 in data charges instead of using the wikipedia file I downloaded. I was hoping I could access the data with another program that works a little better! Thanks!

Alright, apart from the ones listed above:

- Gentimer (for timers / world time)
- GPRS traffic monitor (absolutely crucial for me to monitor data usage - no unlimited data in Canada :()
- Orneta Notepad (text file editor)
- SmartphoneNotes (sync Outlook notes)
- Kevtris (awesome free tetris game)
- SmartGear (excellent gameboy and gamegear emulation)
- Pocket Mini Golf 2 (amazing mini golf game, of course)

@MartyNg, since wikipedia is a free online dictionary, the mdx file should be shareware... as far as i know - so, i'd be glad to help ^_^

just visit THIS (http://www.airfagev.com/forum_view.asp?msg_id=177840) link ^_^

word of caution: it's a 160MB+ file, so you might want to free up some space in your storage card, if you haven't already ^_^
