Downloaders Anonymous: My Latest Enabler

Hi my name is Mike, and I am a downloader. ("Hi Mike.") Here is my story of how I fell off the wagon.

So it was time for a cell phone upgrade to a new phone, and I stopped in over the weekend with all intentions of picking up the XV6700 Windows Mobile 5.0 device. I had one for some time as a development unit from a client I was developing a mobile application for. My co-worker who had recommended these phones to our client did the dog fooding thing and got himself one. Al though recently he picked up a new razor to use as his phone, he still has the XV6700 for data use and getting his email. While waiting to be helped I checked out the Motorola Q again, and decided on that form factor instead of the XV6700. I soon had my contacts copied over to a new Motorola Q and I was off with my new enabler phone.

So the first application I downloaded was SplashBlog, which is one I had played with, and setup an account with, while I had the demo XV6700. I went to the the site on the phone, found the CAB for the Smart Phone edition, downloaded it , and installed it. It is a great application and it installed just as quickly as when I installed it on the previous device. I soon logged into my SplashBlog account and got my previous account all set up on the phone. This was all done by the time I got across the street to the plaza where I dropped the wife off to go shopping as I went to the toy cell phone store.

Later on that night I followed some of the download links on the phone and downloaded one of my other addictions, a Sudoku game, as well as a couple others Sunday I VPNed to my work computer and installed the Wireless Sync software to get my work email. I also got some of my numerous personal emails setup.

Now, readers, let me know what your must-have Smart Phone applications (or games) are in the comments.
