Sprint Pocket PC - 6900 - Touch
My
current Windows Mobile based SUPERPhone. Recently, I installed
much of the HTC Touch theme (along with files I modified - of
course) and have come up with a great looking phone with minimal
memory issues. This involved dumping some of my favorite
programs including phoneAlarm and WisbarAdvance due to the amount of
memory they eat up and the current instability of said programs on
Windows Mobile Professional 6.
Programs
Currently on the phone...

contact manager complete with finger scrolling. Free.

Currently iLauncher does not have the capability to place icons

Almost immediately after Apple announced the
iPhone, Pocket PC owners
discovered that they could (though the help of many of the programs
above) make their Pocket PC Phone look and function just like an
iPhone. Anyway, here's my "today screen" and the programs
that make it up.
Screenshot Soon...
