MoDaCo: make your HTC Shift have a FULL WM6; new mobile2day.de rebates

[Guest Menneisyys]

1. I have some very good news for you all tech geeks. You may have heard (for example, from me) that the latest, double-OS HTC model, the Shift, has a severely crippled and almost useless Windows Mobile OS. This was one of the reasons I haven’t really recommended it either

The excellent MoDaCo guys, authors of several other, similar "liberator packs", did not leave it at this and have published a tool that unlocks the full Windows Mobile operating system on the Shift. It can be found HERE. Now, the Shift seems to be a much better choice – much as I’d still go for, say, a Fujitsu Lifebook U-series U1010 UMPC if I didn’t need a dual operating system.

2. I really recommend the newly-started MoDaCo weekly podcasts – well worth listening to. The latest, eighth part is HERE.

3. Finally, last time I wrote about the current mobile2day.de rebates, I spoke about FlexMail 2007 Rev 2’s being offered at a much lower price there. MoDaCo Plus has turned out to be offering the title for free - among a LOT of other things.

(Note that this, as was the case with, say, my mobile2day.de, PocketGear, Handango etc. posts, this isn’t an ad for the site’s store. I always post quick announcements when I run into nice rebates worth telling other users, regardless of the reseller.

BTW, speaking of mobile2day.de, their most interesting rebates for this week are SBSH PocketBreeze 5.4, Spb Diary 2.5.7 and pocketMax phoneAlarm 1.65.1; all go for 10 euros instead of the original 18.50...20. Finally, a really tempting BlackBerry offer: IM+ for Skype 3.1.2 for 10 euros only – a 59% rebate.)
