First thing was Beejive. Needed that IM app. It comes with a built in IM app but I dont like it. This is my fave out of the pack but u can look up others if u dont like this one (IM+, Octrotalk, Palringo, Slick, Agile etc)
Beejive
If you go to the beejive website from your phone u can download the cab directly from the website.
Tip: To get the IM sounds like Aim.
If you have any form of aim installed on you desktop, u can get the messaging sound from there.
Search for imrcv and imsend
Copy those two files and put em in the windows folder on your device (My device/Windows)
Once done go to sounds and notifications in settings. Go to notifications and click on the event box.
Where it says Beejive foreground Im set the sound to imrcv
Beejive new IM imrcv
Beejive Sent IM imsend
Now u got it sounding just like Aim.

Voice Command
I dont know if most of you know. Your phone has a program built in called MS Voice Command. It was a stand alone prgram for the Mogul and others. It became built for the Tilt after the update.
Basically Voice command lets you speak to issue a command and sometimes the phone will do it
. Reason why I say some times is that you have to speak very loud and clear.
U can have it tell you, what time it is, what day is it, whats ur battery level, to play a particular song, to call some one, to redial, to dial a number etc.
All u have to do is hold down the the phone answer key and youll see a lil mic pop up with a sound.
To start off, Id suggest you guys say help.
It will run u through what it can do.
To have it call someone, hold the key down, when u hear the noise say " Call _____ on mobile/at work/ at home"
It will confirm if its the right person and location, then say yes. It should dial after that
If its not, say no, then try again.
Some ppl it will not recognize to save its life lol but those are mostly hood names. Or if u have two contacts with the same name.
u can also say "Dial 718-123-4567" it will confirm if the numbers are correct and then dial.
It supposed to announce incomin calls and be able to read you ur email and text message, but alot of ppl are having problems with that, so maybe a fix for it soon.

On screen Keyboard
-------------------------
While using the onscreen keyboard, do u notice the symbols above the letters and numbers? Normally ppl hit the 123 tab next to the space bar to input numbers and symbols.
U dont have to do that.
To get to the number and symbol above the letter, all u have to do is hold down that letter. Thats it, the symbol should appear.
--------------------------
World Card Reader
--------------------------
Nice little program thats built in on the phone. Someone mentioned it earlier in this thread.
Basically what that does is U hold ur camera over a business card
Take a picture
The software then reads the text off the picture
Ur are then able to store that business card's info as a contact on your phone.
Try it, fire up the program and see for yourselves. Pretty neat..its no barcode scanner or nuttin . Tried in on a drivers liscense, doesnt work tho.
Thats all for now. I hope I helped out some who needed it. If any questions hit me up.
