Boy Genius Report has posted an article on some of the incongruence's of the BlackBerry OS and in specific about the Bold.
Some of which include poor document viewing, download size limit’s, poor build quality, among others.
I myself can add a few about the Curve 8300:
- No out-of-the-box document editing
- Horrible fonts
- Poor customization possibilities
- Sparse free and commercial application library when comparing with Windows Mobile
- No Bluetooth synchronization

The top 5 handset maker has changed, the five players remain the same but it seems that LG has traded places with Motorola.
Remember that from these top 5 maker only one doesn’t have yet Windows Mobile devices in their portfolio: Nokia.
Although speculation pointed that Nokia would be partnering with Microsoft in order to produce the first ever Nokia Windows Mobile device, Nokia as remained faithful to symbian NOS, and UIQ.
Nokia still represents almost half of the market share, being this mostly because of the cheap entry point devices.

This is another great free application from Shubaroo.com that allows you to send one SMS to several recipients in a very easy fashion.
In fact the integration with Outlook Mobile is brilliant, and all you have to do is set the Category property in the contact.
Once you do this, you can choose from the different categories the ones you wish to receive the SMS. You can even unselect people inside that category.
To download this software please visit Shubaroo.com

Auto Switching Bluetooth BETA 1.05 is nice piece of free software that enables Bluetooh whenever you receive or make a phone call, allowing the device to spare precious battery time by not having Bluetooth always on.
This is still under development and works fine with incoming calls, it still needs some work though when it comes to outgoing calls.
Nevertheless its free and it helps you increase the battery lifetime, so get it over at Modaco.

I wanted to have a quick way to turn on and off WiFi communications with an icon allways present, but I didn’t find any software that suited my needs so I started looking for a way to do it myself.
I grabbed an application called AKToggleWifi from akarnik and created a small program that makes use of the Notifications class based on the code posted by Christopher Fairbairn.
So all credits go to them :)
I have tried in the following devices:
- HTC Diamond
- HTC HD
- Samsung i780
You can download the first beta here.

I saw this one on Windows Mobile forums, and it seemed very interesting:
All credits go to JasperUK:
"This can be achieved editing the HTML file called thread_sms.htm, thats in the windows folder of your Touch HD.
The change you need to make is in the line of the thread_sms.htm:
<Inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBJECT" width="98%" height=55 spell focus count links noclearonbackpresshold limit=0 autocap inserttab scroll />
You need to change the height value. I've change the height value on my HTC Kaiser to 55. To achieve this you'll need Resco Explorer or Total Commander. For changing and reseting the file attributes of the thread_sms.htm in the windows folder.
As always, make a backup of the file and your data before changing any system settings."

I have been using the new HTC Touch 3G for the past week, and one of the features I am most impressed with is indeed the Manila 2D user interface that has a marvelous performance when compared to my HTC Touch Diamond's Manila 3D.
So that you can see it in action I made a quick video where you can see the stylish and elegant device and also the fast and very usable UI developed by HTC.
Update 2: Youtube video now working!

Ricardo Chaves over at PocketPT.net as called to my attention on this free application from Eficasoft that allows one to manage their SMS's stored on a Windows Mobile Device via an Activesync connection.
Not only can you manage your SMS folders as you are able to export them and create and send new SMS's.
There is another software that has similar functions and integrates with Outlook, however it is commercial: Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5.
You can download this great application here, for free.

Do you own a Samsung i780 or a Palm Treo 700 series or PRO? Well then, you are going to love this small application:
Null Keyboard avoids that keyboard from popping up whenever you position the cursor on a text field.
Since the devices have a smaller screen, the keyboard occupies more than 50% of the screen when open.
So this way you can avoid this unwanted behavior.
Grab it here, its free.

Looks like president elect Barack Obama is an e-mail addict and also loves Blackberry devices, probably he hasn´t tried any Wimo with QWERTY keyboard yet ).

• Memory – Unclassified 128MB ROM 64MB RAM, Classified 64MB ROM 64MB RAM
• Display - 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display
• GSM version -(850/900/1800/1900), UMTS/HSDPA (850/1900/2100)or
• CDMA version -(800/1900) 1xRTT, CDMA (800/1900) EV-DO Rel. A
• WIFI - 802.11b/g
• 1 USB connection (secure/non-secure environment)
