With the year drawing to a close, it’s time to pull out the best that WindowsMobile Cool had to offer our readers this year in the way of comprehensive guides on everything from personalizing your WinMo phone to using your phone as a wireless modem.
Let’s take a look at WindowsMobile Cool’s most popular how-to guides of 2008:
Handy Weather software for Windows Mobile keeps you connected with updated weather forecast anytime and anywhere. Plan more efficiently with the best weather tracking software for WinMo and be prepared for anything Mother Nature has in store!

Weather data is provided by the Intellicast, the world’s leading meteorological company. No more complicated menus to scroll through to find the info you need. Just add Handy Weather to your Today screen and enjoy exact weather forecast. You will wonder how you ever got by without it, trust me.
Boy, Santa’s going to be really overwhelmed when he checks his voicemail! Vonage’s (VG) Internet phone service is giving subscribers a number to call to reach Santa Claus’ cell number where they can leave him a voicemail message telling him what they want for Christmas.
Vonage-using parents will be able to let their kids call a special number for free and hear a recorded greeting from jolly old Saint Nick himself*.
That voicemail will then get emailed to the users account where they’ll be able to listen to the recording and know exactly what the kids want for Christmas. Clever!
If you’re a Vonage customer and you try this out, be sure to share your funny stories with us!

Being a history graduate (go on, make your nerd jokes now), I pride myself as being the Queen of Trivial Knowledge – but even I need a refresher now and again. If I’m lucky enough to be sitting by a computer (which I’ll admit is quite often) the internet has almost every answer I could possibly need in seconds thanks to Wikipedia. But what if I’m not in front of my computer?
Here’s the perfect solution: Wikipedia… on your Windows Mobilephone! I know what you’re thinking. Data. Data is expensive! And Wikipedia is full of images and links and then you have to worry about having the right browser to view it in properly… grah! So here it is… How-to: Get Wikipedia on your phone (without an internet connection!)
Are you a web-browsing-on-the-go kind of person like I am…right now? Well be sure to check out this free app!
WifiLocations is a simple program that will automatically activate WiFi on wifi enabled devices at user-specified locations. You DON’T need GPS! You can add your current location (according to the nearest GSM/UMTS-cellsites {not supported in some zones of the world}) as a location where wifi will be activated automatically. This is quite useful for people who want to activate voip over wifi whenever a wifi internet network is available.
Noteworthy: It will not start after installing the cab-file. You need to start it yourself. Before you can use the app, you’ll need to add locations… sorry – all the free-hotspot-searching is up to you!
This video (via Popular Mechanics) should get you up and surfing the web in no time!
You’re right – I’ve already posted a how-to on connecting your WinMo phone to your laptop (see “How-to: Internet Sharing – love between a laptop and a Windows Mobile phone“) but many people are still confused as to how to get this up and running. The above video outlines the steps needed to turn your smartphone (the video uses a Samsung Jack Windows Mobile phone) into a wireless modem via Bluetooth. It’s very easy to follow and should have you connected in no time!
