So I have a TORQ N100 running WM5, which is fantastic but if I want to upgrade to the latest and greatest short of five years from now when this one dies, I need to make the TORQ wife friendly. A great step in the right direction was Paul's suggestion of Spb Full Screen keyboard (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/fsk/?en), which removes the stylus from the equation.

Now I'd like to open it up to the forum to see if anyone else has any tips, tricks or apps that make a WM5 Pocket PC, perhaps not even wife friendly, but mom friendly. I understand this might be a bit much to ask, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Something, that I think would be a step in the right direction would be replacing the Today screen with 6 or 9 THUMB Sized buttons / shortcuts to the basics, like:Tomtom; SMS; Phone; Windows Media Player; etc.

Sorry, on a serious note:

Photo contacts, why press numbers when you can press peoples faces:

cLaunch for application shortcuts:

Dial pad on today, bit small but all I can find:

LOL good one :) I just got my wife to buy that little t mobile thing that looks like an M500 mda but feels a bit Tackier without a fast processor and backup battery. She can use it, just; but it came with free sat nav! allteria motive I know but I got 'my' sat nav now :D

The mda sux for gaming because of the slow chip. I haven't seen a phone just like the m500 with latest os but i'm sure by the time one comes out I'll be in line for an upgrade.

My missus has a MDA Compact III and loves it (RollR and all)... she won't give up Pocket PC nowadays, despite being a former MPx220 user and pledging her heart to Smartphone, lol!
