Earlier today we reviewed the Windows Mobile user interface PointUI Home 2 Pro. Now we're giving it away. Actually, thanks to PointUI, we're giving it away three times over!

Just head over to the forums and post your thoughts on third party user interfaces. Tell us what you like and why; what you don't like and why; or what you would like to see in a Windows Mobile user interface.  If you could change one thing about Touchflo 3D, what would it be?  Is Mobile Shell too overwhelming?  Give us your thoughts and you might win a copy of PointUI Home 2 Pro.

We'll randomly draw three lucky winners for a copy of Home 2 Pro from posts made between now and Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 6:00 pm PST. Remember you've got to be registered  to post and good luck to everyone.

Our Fall Freebies continue! Last month, we reviewed the Blueant Q1 voice controlled headset and now we want to give it away.

To have a chance at the Blueant Q1 all you have to do is post a comment on any story (except this one) between now and 5:00 p.m. PST on Friday, October, 2, 2009. We'll randomly select a winner from these comments.

Keep in mind that you do have to register to leave a comment and that painless process starts here. And we're sure to have more giveaways in the future. Stayed tuned and as soon as Dieter looks the other way, we'll see what we can sneak out of the store.

The WMExperts.com Summer Giveaways are slowly winding down and this week we've got SPB Software up for grabs. SPB has produced such Windows Mobile applications as SPB Mobile Shell, SPB TV, SPB Brain Evolution and many more. SPB is closely tied to Windows Mobile and wants to know what you think.

So here's how this week's give away will work. Head on over to the forums and post your thoughts on SPB in this discussion. Tell us what you like, dislike, or would like to see in SPB software. Do you like the old interface with SPB Mobile Shell or is the touch navigation more to your liking? Any channels missing from SPB TV? Does SPB Traveler cover all the bases for those who are on the road?

From the comments posted between now and 5:00pm CST on September 14, 2009 we'll randomly draw for three winners. The first place will receive a copy of SPB's Mobile Shell. The second and third place winners will receive a copy of SPB TV. Remember you have to be registered to post a comment and that can be done here.

WMExperts would like to welcome Vito Technology to our Forums. Vito will be participating in a developer's forum to discuss software development issues as well as current software titles.

Vito Technology produces Windows Mobile titles such as Winterface, SMS-Chat, and Task2Gather. You can find the Vito Technology Developer's Forum here along with other Windows Mobile discussion forums.

Congratulations to our Vito Software Give-away winners! The WMExperts.com members who share bragging rights are:

Check your email for directions on how to claim your prize, a copy of Vito Technology's Communications Suite.

Vito Technology sponsored this give-away not only to show their appreciation towards Windows Mobile users but also to help us find out where you think Windows Mobile is headed.

And thanks to everyone who is contributing to the discussion over in the forums on Windows Mobile's future. I think the resounding tone of the discussion is that Windows Mobile is doing just fine and will be around for a good long time.

Stayed tuned for another WMExperts Summer Giveaway. If you'de like a hint, you've heard of red ants, black ants and now one that's blue?

An interesting question coming from a Web site dedicated to Windows Mobile, right? While we believe Windows Mobile headed in the right direction, you could make the argument (and, yes, many do) that it's stagnant, stale, and on it's last leg.

With the glowing (almost nauseating) success of Apple's iPhone, the ever present Blackberry, pesky Nokia Symbian OS as well as the new kids on the block Android and Palm Pre the smartphone arena has gotten crowded. Does Windows Mobile have enough staying power to last?  Whats the future hold for this OS?

One potential factor in WinMo's survival rate is the number of phones that are on the way to market. Arguably, one of iPhone's strengths is that there's only one iPhone. There are dozens of Windows Mobile phones on the market plus two versions of the OS. Would Windows Mobile be more successful if there were fewer choices?  What about a hybrid between WinMo Pro and Standard?

Well here's your chance to sound off on what you think the future holds for Windows Mobile. Head on over to this forum discussion and tell us what you think the future holds for Windows Mobile.  To help motivate you, we'll be giving away copies of Vito Technologies Communications Suite to ten randomly selected posts. Posts made between now and 5:00pm EST on Wednesday, July 29th will be eligible for the drawing. You do have to be registered to post in the forums, which is an easy process that starts here. 

Thanks to Vito Technologies for sponsoring this post and providing the software prizes.

We have a winner! WMExperts member "john_v" was randomly select from posts over in the Forums and will soon be enjoying the Jabra BT530 Bluetooth Headset. 

The winning post can be found in the Forum discussion comparing photos of the HTC Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2.  John takes over "braggin' rights" from "wagonis", our last Give-Away winner. 

Stay tuned for our next WMExperts Summer Give-Away. 

Last week's Motorola H12 Bluetooth headset giveaway was a glowing success. So much so we decided to do it again this week by giving away a Jabra BT530 Bluetooth Headset. We reviewed the BT530 some time ago, and now you get a chance to win it.

So here's how it will work this time: Register and post a comment in our Forums. We've got discussions going on most of the existing and future Windows Mobile phones as well as discussions on software issues, accessories and everything else Windows Mobile. And you're gonna have to write more than just "I like Bluetooth!"

We will randomly choose one post through Sunday, and that'll be our winner. Keep in mind that you have to be registered to post in the forums. It's a painless process that can be found here.

Once the winner is chosen, we'll shoot them a note, post a victory notice on the site for bragging rights and send them their prize (sorry, no international shipping). Get to it!

Just a quick reminder that if you're registered with us and leave a comment through mid-day Friday, you'll be in the running for a free Motorola H12 Bluetooth headset.

Full details in yesterday's post, and head here if you're not registered with us yet.
