Possibly the most popular Windows Mobile UI replacement around, Spb Mobile Shell 3.5 has been bumped up to 3.5.1 beta, available for download in the SPB Club Forum. Mostly bug fixes here:
- SPB Pocket Plus close button makes Shell unresponsive
- Set Ringtone doesn’t work for Contacts
- 6.5: Theme shows incorrectly for Carousel and Tiles views
- Added current conditions threshold for weather widget
- Agenda: One day is shown twice, 25 осt date is the transition to “winter” time
- 3D SMS viewer: First word disappears after enter
- Twitter issues fixes
- Kinetic scrolling doesn’t stop on Asus P565
- 3D SMS viewer: Picture is absent.
- 3D viewer: Date isn’t shown for SMS and Email
- 3D email viewer: First account always shows
- Birthday widget doesn’t update itself when contact info is changed
- New filter category is available only after MS restart
- Task widget makes task sychronization with Outlook longer
- Feature: introduced default action for weather widget (now choose between “Open forecast” and
- “Open conditions”)
Interestingly, there is no mention of a fix for the strange problems that HTC Touch Pro 2 users are experiencing. Lots of threads in the forums, but no official response from Spb. Nonetheless, Mobile Shell is a wicked program for the rest of us and anyone using 3.5 should probably grab this update.
I love this software! And, as you already know, Spb makes plenty of things that I love dearly and I’m not ashamed to admit it!
Spb Weather is a powerful weather Today plug-in. You can customize weather views, skins and even weather forecast data sources. Spb Pocket Plus users can save space on their Today screens running Spb Weather in a form of a separate tab.

Not a big fan of the look of TouchFLO 3D on your HTC Touch HD? You’re in luck! Spb Mobile Shell has just updated their software (to version 2.1.3) and is now completely compatible with the HTC Touch HD.
I can only imagine (as I don’t have a Touch HD myself) that it would look really fantastic on the Touch HD’s huge WVGA screen.
If you’ve got a Touch HD, try it out and be sure to let me know!
