Checking apps before installing on phone

Hello...

I have a O2 XPhone II that runs 2003 SE. I would like to have a look the applications on a emulator on my laptop before I install it on the phone.

I am downloading Standalone Device Emulator 1.0 @ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en ...

Any other suggestions/ideas?

Thanks,
Rajiv

In general, it's not worth the effort plus you can't experience the
input and screen options reliably using an emulator.

If the programs and "known good" and not experimental apps which might
cause problems, simply install them, give it a shot, and, if you don't
like them, they are simple to delete on the ppc
(start/settings/system/addremove) or from the sync pc
(start/controlpanel/addremove) although you might have to manually
delete start menu icons.

If the app is new or suspect, it would be a good idea to run a full
backup before you install, and then restore if it causes problems on the
device.
