Works great, if not a bit slow
But has much better connection than the one taken from winmo 6.5 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx
Oh, and I saw a post about how to get youtube working on the excalibur... well theres an app for that:
Just go to youtube.com on mobile internet explorer and click the link to download it, works fine. (at least on the energyrom)
Oh, and I have found that with the energy rom I get the best reception. I don't know the radio version in it, but its awesome.
Oh and Smartgear is a sweet little emulator. Works great for pokemon red, crystal, etc and NES games. The exalibur isn't quite fast enough for sonic 2 though but it was worth my $10
haha, just some of my thoughts.
The facebook app works great No error events like the one ripped from 6.5 Thanks for sharing
EDIT: In fact, I am using it on my Diamond

Can someone offer some suggestions as to a good RSS new reader than will connect via 3G every "x" amount of minutes to download news say from the BBC.
Ideally it'll have a Today Screen plugin so that the information cycles or is readily availlable. Running WM6 Black 3.0.1 btw.
Thanks in advance.
Spb Insight is for me the best out there. Integrates perfectly with Spb Mobile Shell. You can scroll the news on your today screen or just use it as an application.
It's not free, but if you know your way you can find it on the net.
Works like a charm on WM6 Black 2.5
I use pRRSreader from - http://pda.jasnapaka.com/prssr/
It's free, although with Black 3.x I've found it slows the turn-on from standby and means that people calling you get an extra ring before you get the first. At the moment I just have it installed without the today plugin and it works fine.
You can set it to download every 1 to 9999 minutes.
Theres also a handy Wiki page on usefull software....
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Must_have_tools
Doesn't look like there are any RRS feeders on their so I'll go add the two mentioned.
SpB
Make sure you use Spb Insight 1.5 (1.1 was very slow, especially on SD cards)
yup..spb insight 1.5.1 doing fine in my today.. check it out!
I use Egress - http://garishkernels.net
It works fine for me, and is a part of my everyday phone usage.

I enjoy prssreader the best because it is small and does what it is supposed to do.
I use PocketRSS. It works really well.
Hubdog 2.0
Anyone had a look at hubdog, found it great, supports podcasts and it is free too.
Just tried hubdog, lots of features but seemed slow and a bit of a pain to use. Nice that it supports Podcasting though, and the "block connection" option is an excellent idea as it stops podcasts downloading on GPRS/3G.
I use Newsbreak ( http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/nw/newsbreak.htm).
I really love it. It is fast, stable, easy to use, has a good/clean inferface, and even works with podcasts. Its not free, but well worth the money, highly recommended. There is a 30-day trial period so you can try it out.

PS Using it with Black 2.5
Looking into it, I think it would be great if there was a newsfeeder that can automaticly download enclosers when connected to Wi-Fi but not over GPRS/3G, while still allowing the news to download in all cases. Wonder if it's possible or if anything is about.
BTW should this post be in the Hermes WM6 section?

My question, EXACTLY!
FWIW, I also use GarishKernel's Egress. Works nice, but not free.

Now i got a few friends interested in moving from nokia symbian to WMobile.... Now..... I need your help....
I want to really show off my phone to friends..... a good rom, with a few bits to customise it to make it look the dogs
what bits/extras can I add, screen changers, today plugins etc, and a great rom that can use opera and netfront without freezing, possibly youtube player too.... I want to be able to run a good half dozen games too, and (if i can) have good memory....
Can you help?
For a smoking fast rom, you can try joshkoss's halloween rom.
I don't use much in the way of looking pretty, just pocket digital clock, and other "normal" today plugins, like wireless, calendar, and tasks.
as for a game, you could put Doom on it.
Not sure what you're looking for in as far as impressing folks. Personally, I find that speed impresses more than click, wait, wait, click....
Currently I'm using the PDAVIET rom,
[31Oct08] WM6.1 TOUCH Build20924 V27 from Dvha79_ddt [Basic & Full] NetCF3.5, basic version.
It runs fast, looks good, and is stable. I've had no hard or soft resets with this one. I also like PDACorner roms, but have better luck with this one.
The touchflo and such is eye candy, but it loses some of it's luster when you make a click or action, then wait.
Not sure if this helps, but I'm very happy with this rom so far. Best of luck to you.
Crc 13.0 Bs

for that you definitely need microsoft voice command. if you dont know it search a demo video on youtube.
just make sure you're comparing apples with apples
.. as if you were comparing a N96 to the hermes ... there is no contest.

Great app. Using is with rose rom 1.7 works perfectly. When installing it comes up with an error that it was designed for a previous version of windows mobile, but it installs into the start menu/programs folder and just works perfectly.
I installed it this morning. Works great. The thing I like most is the phone number feature.
The one thing I don';t like is when you are deep into a list it takes a bit to get back to choosing the other menus.
i was going to post this a while ago! stupid job got in the way. it is pretty sweet.
this is a awsome program!! the only thing missing is the chat feature...not complaining just sayin lol...anyways props to whoever made this possible!
this app is so nice..installs flawlessly...
by chance is there a my space mobile app for windows mobile phones yet
SkyBook is better i think,this facebook app is slow SkyBook isnt atleast on the S62X.

well it probably isnt i had it on my S621 with ton apps installed on phone i hard reset my phone 2 days ago and finally got my S621 running tons apps like its got nothing on it, WM can get slow sometimes if u add too much random stuff onto it, i still think skybook is a little better tho program setup wise, pocket pc verson works like a charm (skybook)
Thanks for the heads up. Installed the new MS Facebook app on my HTC s620 and it works great, even with my Tzones data plan.

Install the Marketplace cab that's floating around from WM6.5. Trapster is available for free and works fine in WM6.1, but it is a bit slow to load and navigate around.
Great App Sean,
would love to see Trapster Lite developed that uses GPS but no data connection (offline use), when you see a trap if logs the coordinates and uploads when connected to the internet. The map is very data intensive and would end up costing me a lot of money. Or an option to turn off the map but still get the warnings.
Would be also great working with tomtom on windows mobile so that you could be intigrated.
Just install w/the cab...worked fine for me. Used it yesterday on a 5 hours drive, pointed out police speed traps a few times. ;D
This is LOOONG overdue! But Skype is now available!
http://blogs.skype.com/en/2012/02/skype_brings_voice_and_video_c.html

In Marketplace: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/apps/c3f8e570-68b3-4d6a-bdbb-c0a3f4360a51
Not available in my Country (Mexico).Can someone upload the beta xap please? =)
Did you try the links above? Copy the ID of the app in the URL for your marketplace.
Installed mine via Zune. Just wish I actually used it. I've got about 3 contacts there. :|
I've been waiting for this for ages!
Pretty solid app. A bit laggy on my HD7, but still great to have.
Can't wait to actually start using this, but wish I had a front facing camera on my HD7.
Just downloaded, going to test drive it later...but yeah, no FFC on the HD7 is a bummer.

Installed this morning, a little laggy, cannot work in background (which is essential), no live tile, notifications add-ons are not getting through (smileys, links etc.)... Suppose these are beta illnesses...

nice first post dude !!!!!!!!!
but yes its beta 0.2 what can you expect
Beta, but sure long expected... Wouldn't hurt to have a bit more options in Settings... other then "sign automaticaly"..... Anyway, nice job and one thing that's been missing terribly!
Keyboard needs better integration. First letter or each message (sentence as well?) does not capitalize. Also, special characters (!, ?) do not revert back to qwerty after selected, as they would do in any other app.
Surprised it's standalone. Logs in 10x faster than IM+ so that alone is worth it. I have no skype credits to test out the calling.
Just tried skype to skype call from Titan and my ffc is completely black. tried messing around with settings but nothing....
My chatt boxes are all empty, I can see boxes and who wrote something, but that "something" isn't in there... video call works with back camera on my Trophy (no front camera unfortunately)...
merci beaucoup
Does not seem to work very well for me i am using a hd7, i know its not on the list of approved phones yet. For some reason no matter what i do it always has it on speaker phone.
On my htc 7 pro it works very very good. the call quality is very good. i used it over wifi. and call to an pc. the sound is better than it was pc-pc. i dont know how but it is better i tried the video call. and it works too. i have no FFC, but it uses the back camera which is 5mp and the picture is very good, not laggy, all the basic functions of skype are integrated, its a BETA release, so BE HAPPY with it! now i call for free from europe to canada, US, to the near east.
Doens't run in the background?
It seem the beta won't run in the background. That makes it a lousy call replacement app, as you'll need to coordinate with people when to open the app.
Also it lacks basic features like adding people to your contacts.

I'm curious, what other apps you ever got from the marketplace, runs in the background on Windows Phone?-)
With my Lumia 800 Skype work's perfect. On my LG Optimus 7 i can only use the external speaker. With my Omnia 7 the same problem.
Well app looks solid. I love it UI. Ofcorse i did test call from HTC TITAN to HTC HD7 & OMNIA 7. Works charm. HD7 and Omnia uses rear camera.
