Samsung Omnia Software List

This is my list of software I use on my Samsung Omnia (i900).

 

SPB Mobile Shell 3.0

Few days after getting my Samsung Omnia Windows Mobile phone I almost sold it back on eBay because of the horrible user interface. I’m glad I came across this software because it made my phone usable.

Windows Live

Windows live helps keep my contacts in sync. Most business users will probably use Outlook. But if you’re like me and use a non Microsoft office package you will find Windows Live very useful in keeping contact information in Sync. On the PC side contact information can be updated using Windows Live Messenger or using Windows Live Mail Desktop (Contacts). On your Windows  Mobile you can perform a ‘sync’ operation which will download all your contacts to your mobile and also sync any information.  I tend to test a lot of software and that in turn means I reset my phone quite often. This application makes life a lot easy.

MyMobiler

This software works on Windows and Windows Mobile. It allows you to control your windows mobile using your PC. You can view the contents of the Windows Mobile Screen in a PC window or you can configure it to use your windows mobile screen as an additional screen for your computer.

Poket HPH Server

This is a simple php server with SQLite support. This allows me to run little applications on my phone. I like the php web server because of I can write little applications for my phone. 

Opera browser

Comes with the phone and is one of the most useful applications. Web browsing isn’t as good as Safari on the Iphone. But then  again, I think this has more to do with the capacitive touch screen of the iphone than the browser software. 

Shubaroo.com ContactFix

One thing I couldn’t stand about Windows Mobile was the Last Name, First Name format. I use Windows Live to keep all my contacts in sync, but all new contacts are converted in to Outlook format. This little application converts all my contacts in to First Name Last Name format.

ISkoot for Skype

iSkoot uses data over GSM to enable Skype calls from your mobile phone. Iskoot has a local number that is dialled when making a call over Skype. Free minutes from your contract mobile plan are used to make calls. I save a lot of money on international calls using Skype rates.
