WMExperts Prize-A-Day, Day 8


Hackwm

The earlier post about adding A2DP to a Treo 700wx has got me thinking: I start applying hacks to pretty much every Windows Mobile device I try out. WM is surprisingly hackable (and surprising stable after hacks are applied), and most of the little usability quirks that bug me turn out to be fixable via a hack. Just one example is changing the way that the 5-way nav works in Pocket Internet Explorer, as detailed here.

Today's Prize: a set of Jabra BT620 Stereo Bluetooth Headphones. Fitting, since most WM phones support them, and for those that don't there's often a hack to enable it!


How to win

Head on over to the discussions and post your favorite hack in the device-appropriate forum (device-appropriate because often these hacks work on one device but not another). If it works on any device, go ahead and post it in General WM Chat. Don't know any hacks? Then think for a brief bit about something that bugs you about WM and post a question - dollars to donuts there's somebody else annoyed by the same thing that has found a hack to change it.

I'll keep an eye on all the "hacks" posts between now and Noon EST Feb 23rd and choose the winner at random from those posts.


Don't forget - Every entry in a daily contest doubles as an entry for the Grand Prize and the two Second Prizes! Namely: A Smartphone of your choice plus $300 to spend in the WMExperts store and a couple of Slingbox Pros.

This is definitely a post by me...

Still no response... I would LOVE that. Dollars to donuts indeed if someone can make this work...

P.S. Those headphones sound pretty good about now, seeing as my HT820 BROKE... ugh...

I really don't use any hacks at this point. I don't have a true WM device yet. It has been interesting to research the subject and see what is available, though.

How/when will we know if we've won? or has the winner already been notified?

Hi Leo -

I announce the winners every Monday. :)

Thanks...

*crosses fingers*

Any word yet on who won this? :)
