Ill look at the Dynamo. Thanks!
I currently have a hack to the comms manager button that toggles sound/vibrate (a la Treo). Also have installed magicbutton (task manager), a hack for threaded text (works great but I wont get into it here as it Im not sure the distributing company would like it out there), and SPB Mobile Shell, which gives me 3 times zones with alarm control, weather with 5 day forecast and task manager all on the today screen. Im not looking to trick it out much. I would like to find a dial from today screen program though. I have a physical button for OK and I havent looked at one for start will look at it and see tomorrow. Thanks!

The first thing you've got to do with a Pocket PC to make it more usable one-handed is installDynamo. This freeware gem is essentially Mac OS's Exposé for Windows Mobile. When run, it shows you thumbnails of each of your running applications, which you can then select via the d-pad or close by pressing and holding the d-pad over the selected thumbnail. This gives you a quick, easy and visual way tomanage your running applications and close stuff you're no longer using. The secret to one-handed use? Assign Dynamo to a button on your device. On my PPC-6700, I have Dynamo set to the "Internet Explorer" button on the side of the unit just below the volume slider and I can not only manage my applications one-handed, but switch between them far faster than I ever could with my Treo 650. Oh, and while I'm on the subject of button assignments, if your device doesn't have dedicated buttons for Start and OK, assign them. Even if you have to give up whatever those buttons were originally mapped to (Calendar, Messaging, etc.), you'll get far more use out of having physical buttons for Start and OK.
