Anyone know where I can find the latest SPB Weather Build?
I googled and Yahoo searched and couldn't find it.
I contacted SPB and they said they wouldn't help me until I purchased it but honestly I want to test it out some more before I buy.
The build is
SPB Weather v1.7.0 Build 767
Thanks.
Jim
And this is related to WM6 on Hermes... how ?!

It's related by the fact that ONLY the latest build is compatible with WM6. This has been discussed in several threads.

Thanks much. That was exactly what I needed.
I don't know why when I emailed them they didn't just have me go to the forums. I didn't even know they had forums there.

Personally, I don't believe it's an app that they are too proud of ... and I CERTAINLY don't think they want you to read what's in their forum about it.
If you SERIOUSLY want to know the weather, look into SBSH Pocket Weather. THAT one works well.
NOTE: I am not affiliated with either product ... just a paid-up user of SPB who's experimenting with,IMO, a better (and cheaper) product.

I've actually purchased SBSH pocket weather.
But I'm evaluating the Mobile Shell...it takes up less real estate and I can have the tabs for all my pertinent plugins, which I do like.

Less real estate? The way I have SBSH configured, it takes about the same amount as SPB. OK, you can put SPB into a tab, but then you lose almost all WEATHER functionality and detail. If you delete it altogether, you'll also regain the program space. Why keep an application that hardly works?
FWIW, I plan to buy SBSH.

Get SBSH...
I highly recommend SBSH Pocket Weather over the SPB Weather. I used the Mobile Shell for their trial period. It was a nice app...but it did have some memory leaks...I'm sure they fixed it by now, but who knows.
The thing is...their weather app was just horrible. It was soooo inaccurate to a point where it was laughable. Then I found out that the weather info it receives is coming from some Russian site that uses weather trend to forecast and not from a real weather data sites like NOAA. It would be raining cats and dogs and SPB will say "currently sunny -- and for the next 5 days." I'm in California btw. Maybe if you are in Europe, it's more accurate? But I've gone through their forums for a solution and it's simply not a good product.
I am not affiliated with either one of those companies. After trial, I picked SBSH Weather since it was more accurate. Luckily, my company pays for software purchases ... but from what I remember SBSH Weather was cheap.
Just my $0.02.

You can configure SPB weather to use weather.com for a weather source and increase the reliability of the forcast data. I use it with Mobile shell 1.5 and it works great.
Anybody noticed that in new ROM`s SPB Weather and X-button (1.51) have an issue...where all the text of SPB Weather turns to black and it is not viewable in black themes? I have tried to uninstall the X-button and everything seems to be OK with SPB Weather...but X-button is a must have so...any tips?
Regards,
Primoz

Tip is to download the latest SPB Weather from the SPB Forum mentioned in this thread. That fixes the Black font issue.
And to be fair, you can configure SPB Weather to use any weather source using custom templates. Bit fiddly, but if you really want to then again, check out the SPB forum and you'll find quite a few templates that have been created by SPB Weather users.
Just to be clear, I'd go for SBSH everytime though. Not just for their Weather program, but in my opinion all of their products are slightly better than the SPB equivalent, and their support/forum is the best I've come accross (although Lakeridge are generally excellent too).

I tested the SPB and I love the tabs and the added real estate on the today screen because I could configure the launcher, the phone suite, weather and time, all to be in tabs...was great.
But the programs were a memory hog...after a SR, with all running was down to 18mb of ram and it was a little sluggish. Plus there is no built in task manager, which meant adding another task manager program.
I went to SBSH, which I had already purchased, and am using SBSH weather, and i-Launcher. I'm testing phone alarm though, but I miss the call filtering.
Now I'm running 24mb after a soft reset. Much better.

Sorry to bother you all about this, but I was hoping to get everyones experienced/educated minds on what is the best contacts manager/programme out there
Currently using standard contacts which comes with Schaps WM6.1 Beta ROM, but have also tried SPB Contacts & Photo Contacts Pro. v5.08 demo
All opinions welcome, and again sorry to disturb evryone on such a trivial question
cheers
Not one response!!! Was hoping for a little bit better than that!!
It depends what you want from a Contacts program I guess but I've been impressed with the standard Contacts program when used with the Random Access CAB file. I also use the contacts section of Pocket Informant 8. They're both different and both have their own strengths and weaknesses.
You may also want to try PocketCM for a bit of iPhone-ish type contact management. It's also worth taking a look at Face Contacts (at least I think that's what it was called) which displays selected contacts on your Today screen in a similar fashion to the way iTunes Album Cover Flow style works.
I have been using iContact and CNetX Face Contacts. I find that they are good for me.
I have been using iContact is very simple and good.
cheers guys
Hi to all
As new to the HD and windows mobile, I am looking for any good calendar application instead of the one that comes with the mobile. Nothing too fancy, as I primarily sync with Outlook. Any opinions?
Thanks in advance
The one and only. ThumbCal
+10000000000000000 :d:d:d
webis
pocket informant 8 is a great calender pim. and once i get my hd monday i am going to install on mine. it is going to look amazing on the hd.
Thank you guys - I will try thumbcal - sounds interesting from what I read
SBSH Calendar Touch is awesome on the HD to, you should check it out.
I work with Agenda Fusion.
It has a Full Year Tab where you can mark days with different colours
any sleek calendar apps anyone?
I did stumble upon one on here called "black calendar" but the link wasn't working...
thanks!
I suggest flashing Dutty's v3.3 rom and you get a real nice sleek calendar built in.
If not, look up ThumbCal, its not free but by far the best 3rd party calendar app.
Jake
ThumbCal doesn't really look too good from the pics to be honest
are there any pics of Duttys ROMs? although I'm not sure I'd want to do a whole new ROM, I've done quite a few updates on the phone (mostly from this forum) this weekend and I'm rather pleased with the outcome!
Check out SBSH Calendar Touch, it's definitely the best looking calendar I've seen yet and the app is really great!
ThumbCal is great calendar, but i also use Dutty's 3.3 ROM with it's stock calendar. The calendar is so great that there is no need to use some 3rd party calendar, but if you want one - i would go with ThumbCal (used it for few months and it's great)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3662151&postcount=4
Can't recommend Dutty's ROM enough though, he's releasing a new one tonight as far as i know
thanks for the link with the pics... it does look good
Hi all,
Since September this year my teachers on school are forced to put our homework online.
When we log in on the website we can click on our agenda and than we see our homework. But we also have the option to use the agenda as a rss fead for microsoft outlook. When I open outlook I see all my homework under agenda.
So my question: Is it possible to do the same on my wm device?
Thanks a lot everyone who has got an idea or would like to help me!
