I've swapped to Windows Mobile

Temporarily, that is.

5h013I’ve had a new HP ipaq HW6915 sat on my desk for months. Normally I cannot stand to leave any new technology in it’s box. But, well, I’m no fan of Windows Mobile.

I like the concept of Windows Mobile but the reality is generally far, far worse — slow, can’t properly multitask, crap user-experience. Just try receiving email, opening an Excel spreadsheet, chatting to someone on MSN Messenger Mobile and then receiving a phone call. The devices usually come to a halt and then you spend five minutes waiting for it to switch off and reboot.

Anyway.

The N95 would normally be my weekend phone and I’d leave the E61 (with my email) behind while I go out and do things. Today and this weekend I am going to change things. I am going to take the HP iPAQ with me and see how I get on.

I’m just about to put Good Mobile Messaging on it. Have you got any recommendations for what other software I should put on it?
