Think Microsoft

Windows Mobile, the redheaded stepchild… well more like grandfather of Mobile OS’s. The iPhone may have jumpstarted the “App Revolution”, but that doesn’t mean its get to have all the good apps to itself. I’ve tried most of the twitter apps for Windows Mobile and most of them aren’t up to snuff.  Some are clumsy, others look nice but are dog slow. Up until recently I had been using Pocketwit, which was nice but had some annoying bugs

All that aside, I’m very glad to have found MoTweet’s by Panoramic Software.

As far as Windows Mobile UI’s go, moTweets is beautiful, with a fluid, finger friendly UI. According to its website, the app works on just about any screen res you can throw at it, including my Omnia with its fairly low res (240X400) screen.

Where moTweet’s really shines is ease of use. The icon in the upper right hand corner, when pressed brings up a  navigation menu with one press access to mentions, DM’s and the public timeline.

Motweets also has advanced tweet posting options, with twit-pic, tiny-url and GPS integration. The latter I am unable to use as Verizon crippled and then half heartedly un-crippled the Omnia’s GPS features. 

As you can see from the above screenshots, I am using the free ad-supported version of moTweets, the ads are so un-obtrusive that I see little need for the paid version. Which is available for $3.99

Overall I give moTweets a solid 4.0 out of 5, with deductions only for not having “ in timeline” Twitpic support and the lack of a twitter search option.  Other then that, if you need a solid Twitter App for Windows Mobile…. give moTweets a shot

Everyone likes free stuff right? I know I do! So to help launch this blog in style, I’m going to be giving away a Verizon HTC Ozone. Which just happens to be a Windows Mobile Powered, global smart phone (CDMA, GSM). This means the contest is open globally to anyone who wants to enter. This phone will be shipped ready to activate on Verizon.  If you want to unlock it and use it on another carrier.. that’s up to you

Want to enter? its super easy.. all you need is an Twitter account. To enter just retweet the “contest tweet” that I make on my twitter account… www.twitter.com/volvshine . After that just use the twitter hashtag #werwireless as many times as you want, for more chances to win. That’s right you can enter as many times as you want!

The contest will run from September 8th to October 8th, at which time I will randomly choose a tweet with the above hashtag in it, as the winner.

If you live in the USA, we will even cover shipping. If outside the US, you’ll just have to cover shipping.
