[HTC Excalibur] skyler17:
I'm addicted to flashing. But I like my apps. Ive collected some good ones, and I hope that this thread is useful. I had always wished that there would be a central place that I could look at for quality apps for the Excalibur. I will try to get the .cab files on this post, but for now all download links are in descriptions:

Web Browsers

:

Opera Mini: The most functional internet browser for the Excalibur. the .cab file(s) is attached in the 2nd post on this thread.

Skyfire: Better web browser, plays flash. Slow on the Excalibur no matter which ROM you use :( Official site here.

Bolt Browser: Currently in open beta, is a Java program and works like Opera Mini, but based on webkit. Worth a try if you are looking for something new. Official site here.

Communication

:

Windows Live: An essential, allows push email if you have a Hotmail or lLve account. Offical site here.

Facebook: Is a good application that runs smoothly. My only gripe with it is that the feeds are not pushed to the application. Instead if you want to find something out, you have to refresh it. You can upload pictures, videos, update status, comment on other's, etc. I have the .cab attached or it is here

Tiny Twitter: The best twitter client for our phone. Official site here.

Palringo: My favorite IM application. Does all the typical IM services, but also Facebook! Awesome. Official site here.

Fring: Another decent IM software. I prefer Palringo. But if your taste differs, official site is here.

Skype: Fun, useful and saves minutes if you pay. You can send texts for free through it though. A defeinite plus. Official site here.

Entertainment

:

Kinoma FreePlay: An excellent media application. Although it does use quite a bit of memory- its All-In-One aspect justifies its use of RAM. It plays your music, photos, and video... But you can also access YouTube, stream radio stations, Flickr, you name it! Kinoma FreePlay is free but the upgraded version, Kinoma Play is $30. Official site is here, its worth checking out.

SmartGear: The best emulator for windows mobile. Plays Sega Genesis, Gamegear, NES, GBC. It is free to try, $10 to buy. Official site here.

Pocket Nester Plus: Free, but not as good as SmartGear. Only plays NES games. Find to download here.

Kevtris: Best Tetris game for windows mobile in my opinion. Download here.

Pandora: Update New pandora .cab tested and working good on WM 6.5 EVO 2.0 Naturally works best with WiFi since the Dash has no 3G. The .cab is attached to this post.

TCPMP: The most versatile, and free media player. Will play almost anything you throw at it (like a vlc for windows mobile). You can download either here or here with extra codec support.

Navigation/Search

:

Google Maps Mobile: Best mapping application for our phone. Official site here.

Bing: If you are familiar with Windows Live Search, this is it- rebranded. It is useful. Official site here.

Backup

:

Microsoft MyPhone: Backs up your texts, media, contacts. Overall useful application if you don't go for Dashwire. Official site here.

Dashwire: Free, like Microsoft's MyPhone, it is a backup of contacts, pictures, videos, etc. But then from online you can send texts from your phone. Its cool. Again, .cab is attached but official site is here

Organization

:

Microsoft Recite: Stores voice memos and can look them up via your own speech. Surprisingly useful. Worth a try. Official site here.
