I just got my TMobile MDA with WM5 last week and I love it. I'm new to the whole scene but have figured it out pretty quickly.
There were a few things I do miss about the SideKick so I wanted to ask everyone here if they knew of any programs that would do the trick.

1- The SK used to have sound profiles that I could set up to change at different times of the day. (Example- I had a sound profile called "sleep" that would only play Phone calls and Reminders but would mute Email notices or AIM sounds so the phone only was noisy when it had to be. Is there anything for WM5 like this?

2- The SK had a reminder that if you misses a call, AIM, text, email, voicemail, etc. that would chime every 10 mins until you checked it. Is there anything for WM5 for this?

3- I'm looking for a really good AIM program. One that shows Buddy Icons and away messages and notifies you that you have a IM. Is there anything like this for WM5?

I would really appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction on these.

Thanks,
Richard Brannon

P.S. How can I make the date above the clock on the menubar disappear?

Apparently not. All I can do is tell you how AIM for the Pocket PC works. I don't think it has Buddy Icons, but I recall it supported Away Messages and IM notification.

The good news it that, even though AOL charges about $20 for it, you can get it free from AOL U.K. (http://www.aol.co.uk/aim/wince/index.html)

I don't know how well it works on WM 5, though.
