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.

Pseudo iPhone

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...
