    Best software for windows mobile

    So, I've got my tytn ii, and I want to have a bit of a play. What are the best bits of software out there for it? Any essential tweaks? I've never done reflashing, mine is the T-Mobile branded Vario III.

    I know you can pick up freeware from various sites but a lot of it seems a bit amatuerish and I don't really like having 'rubbish' on my phone .

    Thanks

    eta: and what would be brilliant is some kind of answer machine software that can answer the phone after two rings or so with a pre-recorded message and have a message recorded and left on my phone, where it can be organised a bit better than phoning t-mobile's thing (most people don't even bother leaving a message on there anyway which is a bit annoying)

    Problem is the kaiser does a lot of these things out the box :/

    I haven't got TomTom, don't know where to get the software from! Wasn't included with mine

    And all the games are a bit heavy, I used to have x-com TFTD (works really well actually) but for mobiles you want something more like snake, or peggle.

    I might get a demo, the kaiser already has quite a nice home screen but thanks

    One thing I need to get actually is Skype.

    I'm just getting SPB Plus (It's a new version of everything i think?) trial version installed.

    I'll let you know how it goes :-)

    What I really want / need is an application that I can use as a voicemail. Basically, at the minute T-Mobile picks up my voicemail. I want my phone to do that, with a personalized message, and have the recorded messages saved in a folder next to messages.

    If it hasn't been done yet, it will be soon...

    Ok, really didn't like it. Basically it doesn't work with the skinned Kaiser shell, and even with what I saw of it, it wasn't as 'integrated' as I'd have liked it to be. The nice thing about HTCs UI is that it's very intuitive and easy to use. A bit of a rip of of the iPhone philosophy no doubt but it's not wrong to use good ideas, in fact it drives the market forward!

    I use Photocontacts Pro - Improved Contacts List
    SPB Shell - Tidies up the Today Screen
    SPB Diary is also a good addition.
    My Mobilier allows you to view your PDA screen on your PC

    Just some of what I use
