The cellular market is keep growing over the time. Smartphone devices becoming more advance and complicated and the features it allows are wonderful. One of the biggest questions about the smart phones is what the best operating system for those devices: Android, Windows Mobile or Symbian.
Symbian OS smartphone devices have tons of great application from all kind. Also this lovely operating system got smart phones with great power and it seems that the OS runs smoothly and without any problem.
Windows Mobile, Microsoft’s smartphone OS is a great system but it has some problems. After opening three or more applications it starts to work slowly and doesn’t let you to use the smart phone smoothly.
The third and probably the best smartphone operating system for now is Android that came as an open source that everyone can modify. Also the devices of Android OS got wonderful graphic and processor power that allowing you to play better graphic games and enjoy more from your smart phone.
There in no one that doesn’t use YouTube service. Now thanks to Google, WinMo smart phone users can enjoy this service also with a great GUI. The application is available on the internet for free download to your Windows Mobile smartphone.
Watch YouTube on your Windows Mobile phone

Windows Mobile always surprised me with its 3rd party applications. The possibility of developing software for this lovely smart phone OS is almost unlimited. I found out on the internet a port for Windows 95 operating system for WinMo smartphone devices.
Navigate Windows 95 on your smartphone
This is a port of the full Windows 95 OS for WinMo smart phones. The Win95 operating system works like it worked on a regular PC without any problems. You actually don’t need to flash it on the ROM and it works perfectly with Windows Mobile OS installed on the smartphone.

The last years were the greatest years of the Windows Mobile OS smart phones. The developers have developed a large number of applications for the smartphone users. Know, Windows Phone 7 operating system is going to enter the market but what about the old WM apps?
Windows Mobile is still alive
According to the details that published over the internet, applications that were developed for smartphones with older Windows Mobile OS will not work on the new operating system. Windows Phone 7 is a completely new platform that is very different from the older WM and that why smart phone devices with the upcoming OS will not run apps from version 6.
Applications are still being released for Windows Mobile smart phone devices but it’s a matter of time before it will stop. Windows Phone 7 smartphone devices will absolutely take WM place. Let’s hope Microsoft knows what they doing.
The famous OS from Microsoft that include on Pocket PC and smart phone device really impressed that whole world. Windows Mobile took a great part on the smartphone market and now it’s changing the name of the operating system to Windows Phone.
According to Microsoft, the new Windows Mobile operating system that is about to be released to the smart phone market will not be WM anymore. The new name of the series will be Windows Phone starting with 7 OS that will probably be one of the best operating systems for smartphone devices.
Windows Phone 7 smartphones already on prototype stages but I think it will take some time before we’ll see those devices on the market. I still love the earlier Windows Mobile version and I think the 6.0 OS will be marked in the history of the smartphone devices.

Windows Mobile is an operating system that consumes many resources from the smartphone. Users who are not aware to that at times can find themselves without a storage memory on the device. Here 3 tips to help you save space on your smart phone.
When you install an application on your Windows Mobile smartphone, you may want to install it on an external storage (Memory Card). In this way, the smart phone memory space remains free for important uses and system updates.

If you have the application Opera installed on your Windows Mobile smartphone, set a path of the Catch folder in the memory card. If you can’t do it, always worry to clean the Catch folder to prevent lack of memory on the smart phone.

Pocket PC devices always attracted customers to the Windows Mobile operating system. HP, one of the best known companies among these devices, also stopped to produce new PPC models like other companies. The main reason is the entry of WM based smartphones.
There is no need to worry as you can see, Pocket PC devices diminished because the technological progress has brought cellular users the smartphones. People don’t want to take two devices with them and want Windows Mobile OS to be included in their smart phone.
Some people still use Pocket PC devices but slowly they all start using smartphones. Windows Mobile is not expected to disappear and even the new 7 version is about to be released and will include more features than its predecessors.

The best mobile games company
The advantage of Gameloft games for Windows Mobile smartphone devices is that it’s not Java. The games operate very fast and display 3D graphics with exceptional quality of sound. Of Corse the WM smart phone versions are bigger then the Java ones but it worth every disk space.
Smart phones with Windows Mobile operating system have always been known for their strength but with the introduction of Android, a threat applies to them. Gameloft games are available for WM smartphone devices in Java version too for anyone who prefers it.
The operating systems of smart phone devices are updated in a similar manner to those of PC. Windows Mobile is also blessed with new versions that come out on top of new devices. But can you install a newer version of the operating system on the same smartphone? The answer is complex.
The new WM OS for smartphone devices
Some Windows Mobile smart phone devices come with downloadable rom updates from the manufacturer. These updates may contain a newer version of the operating system. Installing operating systems on a smartphone is not like on the PC and it can be updated only with rom.
Another possibility to update Windows Mobile operating system on your smart phone is to check for Xda-Developers for custom rom. This forum belongs to programmers of WM-based smartphone and there is a downloadable third party roms in it.
Not all smartphone have updates for Windows Mobile operating system. It is not recommended to download rom that doesn’t fits your smart phone because it would cause a crash in the device. Smart phone users that don’t have OS upgrade for their model can purchase a new device with a newer version of WM.

smartphone games collection is growing
Symbian was and is still running strong and offers a wide range of smart phone games. Users with Nokia’s devices can also enjoy the Ngage platform that offers even more games. Smartphone users with this operating system can be certain that the games pool always renewed.

Nostalgic console games always attracted me as a child. I remember playing Sonic for the first time; I was impressed from this bouncing Hedgehog. The Windows Mobile smartphones surprised me with MorphGear application that allows enjoying these games on the smart phone.

Asus have shown us the future of smartphones. M930W is a smart phone with Windows Mobile operating system that running without a touch screen. The device has very generous specs.
The new smart phone from Asus
A 520 MHz processor is running in the heart of Asus M930w which allows working with several applications simultaneously while maintaining the processing speed of the smartphone. 128MB of RAM also contribute to heavy operating system like Windows Mobile. And of course you can not forget the WIFI and Bluetooth that without them the smart phone was stupid.
The design of Asus M930W is beautiful and includes a slide hardware keyboard, which places the smart phone on first places. Anyway I really think that the fact this smartphone don’t have a touch screen will make it less breakable then other Windows Mobile devices.
All nowadays PC users know how antivirus protection is necessary to prevent computer formatting. The advanced technology also distributed smart phone viruses which is very advanced in those years.

GPS

Asus is disappointing with her Windows Mobile Pocket PC, the A730, which does not constitute progress in ppc devices. This device has poor specification that will not provide ideal conditions for work. Asus could do more then this!
Shitty Pocket PC
Asus A730 has disappointing specification. The Pocket PC comes with Windows Mobile 2003 that is an old version of the operating system. In addition it has a 64MB RAM not sufficient even to open 2 programs simultaneously, compared to Dell Axim ppc that comes with 128MB of RAM. The device does not come with built-in WiFi tuner so you can’t enjoy wireless internet. The 520 MHz processor of the Asus Pocket PC device is its only advantage, but in combination with other specification, this is not contributing much.
Asus A730 is a big disappointment from a successful global company. I do not recommend purchasing this Windows Mobile Pocket PC device.
One company I didn’t expect to hear from it is Toshiba but to my surprise, they released a new smart phone, combined with strong specifications and it comes with Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. This 3g smartphone will include a future 6.5 version update of Microsoft’s operating system.

Toshiba TG01 smart phone focus is a fast processor it contains. 1 GHz processor is all what Windows Mobile user needs to survive. But that’s not all, this 3g smartphone contains a graphic accelerator too, that’s gives it an extra power to run games on the device.
TG01 smartphone has a very large screen – 4.1 inches that displays 480×800 of pure pixels – that’s wonderful. The device contains 256MB of Random Access Memory (RAM) that gives the device extra power for opening applications on Windows Mobile 6.1. Toshiba’s 3g smartphone also includes a GPS receiver that will provide you easy navigation on roads, and a 3.5 pixel camera that will give you a nice photo quality.

As Symbian, Windows Mobile is an open operating system that offers a wide range of software. It includes applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Messenger and more.

Some PNA devices allow hearing of music and watching videos. These devices are totally different from PDA (Pocket PC) devices.

Omnia smartphone - don't buy!
When Omnia was released to the market, the smartphone introduced itself as an advanced Windows Mobile 6.1 device that comes with amazing features. In fact it’s true. Samsung really released a device that provided the needs of the Windows Mobile users, but they did not know that there is a critical issue of the touch screen of the device.
At the first few months of using Samsung’s smart phone, the device is not causing trouble. But eventually the right corner of the touch screen will stop responding to finger clicks. If your Omnia still have warranty, the lab will replace your Windows Mobile device screen but if it is over, you’ll have to pay between 200$ to 300$ to get a new screen for your I900 smartphone.
Windows Mobile users always ask themselves what is more appropriate for them. Some users prefer the Pocket PC that allows managing information efficiently and some prefer the smartphone that lets all of that plus the phone function.
Windows Mobile based smart phones really proved themselves in recent years but many smartphone users do not get used to device phone feature. The solution is to buy a Pocket PC and a simple phone to save your headache.
