OK, I’ll concede that the HTC Touch is a Windows Mobile 6 phone with a cool shell. Inside the chocolatey-center it’s still Win Mo 6. If the Touch isn’t quite satisfying your taste buds, you can still put a very nice shell on on your Win Mo handset with SPB’s Mobile Shell, just upgraded to version 1.5.
New in this version:
- Now Screen professional layout
- Menu customization
- Easy item pinning on Today
- Ability to change order of pinned items
- Third party plug-ins support
- Now Screen as lock screen
- Device locking usability improvements
- Assigning Spb Menu actions to hardware keys
- Bigger city database (10000 cities supported)
- Simple phone profiles
- Phone profile, alarm, graphic calendar on Now Screen
- Option to hide menu after program launch
- Battery life optimizations
- Performance and stability improvements
- Better and more reliable appointment handling on Now Screen
- Minimize All added to Task Manager
- Two additional photo speed dial tabs
- Talk button works from Spb Contacts
- Several more minor changes and bugfixes
The initial version scored a 5 out of 5 from Aximsite, so with all of these upgrades, I expect to see a 6 out of 5. If you can’t wait for a full review, just click the link for a 15-day free trial. You’ll need Windows Mobile 5 or 6, plus a touchscreen; Mobile Shell isn’t for the Smartphone or Standard Edition of WM.
