Have a look at GDE... its free and has some cool features such as running your homescreens in a Cube effect, been running it for a week now with No problems at all

I changed to it from Launcher Pro...

I cant find it free.

I don't think anything can beat LauncherPro for speed and customisation and overall polish.

Sorry, my bad, was £2:16.. but well worth it, the homescreen effects make it far removed from the standard Iphone look.

What is the best app for keeping track of the football scores? I currently have FotMob 5.0 but it doesn't seem to be very user friendly and I don't particularly like using it.

This one? Reviews seem pretty shoddy and they are recent too. Says that it hasn't even updated the leagues?

Works fine for me. You do have to set it to refresh frequently if you want it to update. Otherwise of course it won't be up to date.

The links underneath the scores take you the Official Prem league so it's more than useful.

Will give it a go. Cheers guys.

For people looking to save money on texts or calls, check out MO-Call (Yes, I work for MO-Call).

I would be keen to hear feedback from some of you (Hopefully this is ok Mods?).

Cheers.

Thanks for that. This will come in handy for when I go to the USA in September. Skype isn't available on t-mobile.

Not sure if I spoke to you via the online help system. But I can't find mo-call on the Android Market. The guy told me to search for Cheap International Calls and I still couldn't find it. He said he would send the app straight to my mobile but I haven't received it.

It wasn't me I'm afraid but you can download it directly from the website.
