It can be handy to know the general area a call is coming from to see if it is worth picking up or just letting it go to voice mail. Head to the WMExperts site to read the details and pick up the .CAB file that may enable it to not only get the state but likely the metropolitan area on your HTC device.</p><p>Only tangentially related, but it will be sad to see these useful hacks vanish when WinPho 7 ships. For all intents and purposes, it seems the new phone platform will be about has hackable as a Zune. <img border="0" src="http://www.ehansberry.com/ppct/sad.gif" /></p>
