Ready to customize your custom Windows Mobile skin? HTC’s already thoroughly tricked out Sense UI has received the modding treatment courtesy of Co0kieMonster and his team over at xda-developers, and user feedback has been exultant about the results. What you’re getting with the Home Tab Mod, and particularly in this latest version 1.7, is a litany of custom arrangement options to suit all tastes. Whether you want your weather and expandable appointment list front and center or you prefer extra quick links to your favorite applications and notifications of new calls, messages or emails, you’ll find a layout to suit you. There are even options for loading up the lock screen with Sense elements, if that’s more to your liking, and we’ve grabbed a video walkthrough of the new UI after the break. To get on board, you’ll need a HTC device with Sense 2.5 and the clicking power to hit up the source for the download and full instructions.

Sprint had promised a first-quarter update for its Touch Pro2 way back in January, and sure enough, it’s delivered the Windows Mobile 6.5 boost right on time. It might not have as much punch now that we know everything there is to know about Windows Phone 7 Series, of course, but it’s still a pretty big deal — the Touch Pro2 remains one of the best Microsoft-powered phones you can buy in the States, and unlike AT&T’s Tilt2, it launched with that grubby old WinMo 6.1. It’s available now, complete with Sense “enhancements” and a variety of bug fixes — so if you’ve got one of these bad boys in your pocket, it seems like a must-grab.
