Unlocking Samsung Saga i770


Seems there is a way to unlock any Windows Mobile phone using same way as unlocking Samsung i9xx Omnia. It worked like a charm with my Samsung Saga i770 that I bought from eBay. I believe it may work with other Samsung smartphones that come with Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5. 

Download the "Unlock.zip" to your Windows Mobile phone and follow the instructions.
If you can't open status window just copy the "personalize.exe" into Windows folder.

And if you are looking to buy this phone I would recommend you to check Palm Treo Pro,Samsung Omnia Pro or HTC Maple. This one has some bugs in firmware like loss
of signal.

WM6 Game Development

OMG! It works! :) ZenGL demo with Software rendering mode.

In the Pascal Game Development forums I found that one the easiest OpenGL 2D game engines for Pascal can run on Windows Mobile devices. I checked the demo on brother's Samsung i900 and sadly was only able to run demo in Software Emulation mode. I got only average ~12FPS. I guess I will get more FPS in Windows Mobile emulator :) There is really not much choices of game engines for Windows Mobile 6. Android community has a really way to more options and with much better market ahead.
Samsung Omnia (i900) doesn't have a GPU so it doesn't supports
rendering with OpenGL ES in hardware mode. Also the 3.1" display only has
a 65k colors. This phone only good for checking email,lol

IDE for Pocket PC Dev

After few hours of searching I find freeware IDE for Pocket PC and Smarthones.
Pelles C is open-source IDE with C compiler.
It also can create Win32 apps and setups. But I still need freeware game engine for Windows Mobile 5/6 or WinCE.
