This is way cool... You can give the home page of your Windows Mobile 2003 Smartphone or Pocket PC a nice Beta Experience look-and-feel. (For those that don't know the Beta Experience, have a look at http://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience.)
This is an example at how your Smartphone/Pocket PC home page can look like if you install the themes:
You can install it on your own phone by following these steps:
- Download the file to your desktop PC.
- Copy the file to your mobile phone. (I placed it under "Storage/Windows", but I guess you can place it anywhere.)
- Start up the File Manager and go to the location where you stored the file.
- Click on the file and confirm the automatic installation of the theme.
It is possible to switch back to other home page skins at any time through the Settings menu.
Do not hesitate to drop me a note if you've installed them on your Smartphone/Pocket PC.
Note: If you decide to install the home page skin, you take full responsability for it. I had no problems installing it on my Windows Mobile 2003 powered Smartphone, but I cannot guarantee that it will work with yours too. Damage to your device, data loss or earthquakes (or anything else) are your own responsability if you decide to download and install these home pages.
Update: The files are now available from the Microsoft.com Download Center. I also updated the instructions.
Update April 2006: a new Beta Experience campaign started and a new Windows Mobile theme is available now.
