Best/Must have Applications & Utilities

[gwj2000]

My Personal Top 5:


1. PocketTunes Deluxe for PodCasts and Internet radio!

2. FileZ

3. Palmary Clock- I love to create my own backgrounds for my huge clock

4. PowerRun- wanna easily move apps to the SD?

5. Call Filter- you just GOTTA have this one!

2Day, 4Cast, OnGaurd, SplashMoney, and Lightwav are all great apps. that make my Treo life a pleasurable one.  You can get them all in the downloads section as well.

talking of TCPMP, what format are you using guys for viewing movies?

It really all depends. If I record the movie/show from my TV tuner card on my PC it's in .mpeg format. If i convert a DVD it is in .AVI format. from a different post i just found out that the Palm Quick Install will convert .wmv files to .asf files so I will be using those as well. Divx and Xvid are also good for movies/shows.

I got following programs to make my new Treo 600 (stability first) slightly better than my 10 years old Psion series3c (a truly amazing machine) even if the 2.5 times smaller screen still is very limiting... 

- The fine PIM suite offer no good way to save fact and other text's about projects... Then has Memo (for simple text) a limit of 4kb and no good find and replace function, so you can't even have a "smart menu" at the beginning... But there is luckily one excellent free program that give you every text function you need (max 100kb files) and "SiEd" is even free, plus offer you a split screen option - so you can view two files, or even two parts of the same file!

- And you can only select text with the separate pen and not with "shift plus the navigation pad" except in the excellent SiEd... But that vital limitation fix "FieldPlus" that also is free and you need that one, if you want to select text (without pulling out the pen all the time) in the contact, calender and ToDo program!

- Even the clipboard is limited to max 4KB but PowerClip by PalmPowerups (who also is a free program) does automatically handle up to 64KB and that is normally enough!

- And if you get SiEd and have a 8MB memory card or bigger, should you naturally store your text files on the card... So it leave more space in ram and are safe for battery failure or hard resets... But then does you need a program who make the Treo behave like a card reader (or an extra hard drive) and the best for that seem to be "Card Export II" by Softick, at only 12usd.

- Then has Palm OS no easy wake up,  timer or stop watch functions... And that is rather dumb, in a smart phone.... But you can naturally use alarms in the calendar and there are several excellent programs for the other time function... The finest is "Palmary Clock" at 13usd.

- Finally has only Treo 600 (not 650) the ultra smart "floating event" function in the agenda (calender) which automatically move stuff you didn't had time to do, to next day... But Treo 650 owners can invest 25usd in "DateBk5" that is the most advanced calendar program and has that lovely function!

BUTLER. I think nobody mentioned it in this thread. I launch 26 programs and phone calls with it, with only one button push, with closed eyes.  More than enough for all my favorites. In addition you can browse to previous/further  apps and it has a very good alarm.

   My definition of MUST HAVE are things that I wish PALM would have put into ROM. All are free and available from downloads section on this site. IMHO if it is MUST HAVE AND BEST it must be FREE. I don't consider this a definition of a great app as I have paid for MANY great apps (and donated to mmastrac for ROMTool) and would be p****d off if they weren't available. Just consider this my parameter for MUST HAVE AND BEST (they are in my custom ROM). FileZ, HandZipperLite, Cleanup, DestallerLite and a FAT32 driver for a 4meg SD card. Not in ROM TCPMP.
  There are amazing apps out there but THIS is where I want my 650 to be if it justs tanks. If I have a hard reset and SD card goes away (yeah yeah never had it happen either) I can load everything on the fly with the programs listed. NOW IN ROM.

I'm new at this, previously used a Pocket PC and a Motorola V710.  Verizon replaced my V710 with a Treo 650 and I have to say, this thing is fantastic.  I should have gotten one a long time ago.  So far the greatest application I've added is GoodLink.  If your company operates on Office 2003 and Exchange and you can get them to spring for it as I did, it will blow you away.  It is just like having my notebook tied in to the company server via VPN.  Except in addition to email, calendar, contacts, etc, it does Corp voice messages, schedules and accepts meetings, and on and on.  If you use the Treo for business, this is a must have.

butler and profiles give the treo all the functionality that you would hope would be standard OEM.

Hi. I just got my new Treo 650 this weekend and have a contract with Orange (UK). Can you tell me if there is an application that records the minutes used in voice calls & data used in wap sessions.
Thanks
