I am a huge fan of SPB Products. They have been a software innovator, along with a couple other companies for a long time in the Windows Mobile world. On the other hand, HTC has been a leader in the hardware game for quite a while now. Not too long ago, SPB Mobile Shell started making it’s way into hardware as the default while HTC has been working on TouchFlo for their own devices. Which is better? That is obviously debatable. Window Mobile Louisville’s Matt Coddington has put his opinions out there. He’s put together a nice comparison…

TouchFLO 3D is a really cool user interface, and I am delighted that HTC has made something that gives Windows Mobile devices a badly needed facelift in a time of steep competition.   I look forward to their continued developments (as well as the continued plethora of hardware to choose from!).  But at this time, I have to say that Mobile Shell simply provides a superior interface for the way I use my device.  Three very logical panels, my Today screen – I’m a happy camper!

    Download the trial version of both SPB mobile shell and Touch Shell Pro. The SFB install was crazy. What happened to the exploding cab file. Anyway,followed the steps to no avail. Finally, tried the touch shell pro, very user friendly and improved the quality of my touch screen flow. Like butter, baby. Five add in pages for home, contact, apps, weather, media and plugins. What more could you ask for? Plus, a sleek interface. Hands down for me, go with the 3D.

    T3FD looks really cool and impresses your friends, but SPB mobile shell is much more useable. Funny..when I had 6.1 on my Tilt, I didn't feel like I needed any add ons. With the Fuze, I feel like I need more add ons and seems like it take more steps to get where I want to go..whether it is messaging, calendar, phone, voicemail, etc.

    TF3D is just beautiful and slick and all that good stuff. I only have a Tilt so TF3D is tough on my Tilt. As a backup I have Mobile Shell which works well for me. I too am a big fan of SPB products.
  • It would also be interesting to compare Vito's Winterface.

    I haven't played with TF3D myself yet, but SPB Mobile seems to be more easily customizable than from what I've (admittedly briefly) read about TF3D.
