Good news is that SPB has finally released the panel version of SPB Shell 3.0.1. Bad news? So far only the Korean version has surfaced. You can grab the .Cab file from here . Having tested it for a couple of minutes, I like the overall speed of the panel and it feels good to finally have a panel of such depth! Now if we could only get the English version soon…! Update : To switch the Korean panel to English, just delete the file SpbMobileShell.txt in the installed path (my device/program files/spb mobile shell) to make it English.

SPB has finally released Mobile Shell 3.0 and simply put, it is Amazing! Once installation completes and the shell is launched, you are taken to a sleeker version of SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 home with message information, notifications, calendar, and weather. This screen is known as the Professional Home screen. But wait! with the flick of a finger up the screen, the home screen is switched to the lifestyle home screen which provides a completely different look and feel. This lifestyle home screen is fully customizable allowing the user to place widgets and application launchers of their choice on the screen as needed. Apart from application shortcuts and widgets, the user can also add calendar entries, images, contacts, and more. Furthermore, the lifestyle home screen is split across three pages – flick to the right or left to change to the page – thus allowing you to manage similar widgets on the same page. Clicking on the lower-left button activates the SPB Carrousel – a 3D interfac...

Gil Bouhnick at Mobilespoon has posted an in-depth review of SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 over at his blog . Check it out! Hope he doesn’t mind, but i thought I’d post an image from his blog here;

Yep! It is finally here and it is not a leaked version or a Beta release. I received a Press Release of the software and will be installing it in a few minutes. Expect to see a detailed post about Shell 3.0 in the next few hours. Meanwhile, watch the video below:

Update : It should be noted that the leaked SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 package is not the final version. It has a few bugs and hiccups but overall works really smooth. It is best that y’all wait for the final version to hit their website. SPB Software House is close to releasing SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 according to their website , but it seems a leaked CAB file has made its way across the internet which I, of course, installed as soon as i found it! Any Windows Mobile user should be familiar with SPB Shell for Windows Mobile. At one time it was the only software out there that allowed a great deal of customization to the Windows Mobile user interface, but now with the simple yet powerful and sleek looking PointUI, Touch Flo 3D 2, TouchWiz, etc. making their way into the market, does SPB Mobile Shell stand a chance? More importantly, does SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 deliver what was expected of it? In short – it does! Ok so the interface does look kind of plain (especially in comparison to TouchFlo...

SPB Mobile Shell has been one of the most used UI replacement application. Fast and sleek with smooth animations and the ability to easily create themes for the shell made it popular among all users of Windows Mobile users who wanted to escape the Windows Mobile interface or wanted an alternative interface for their device. Recently SPB announced SPB Mobile Shell 3, and we finally get a small demonstration of what the new version has to offer. Beware all UI developers, the bar has been seriously risen! SPB Mobile Shell 3 is not only as smooth and sleek as before but it now includes tons of customizations, features, and way cooler animations. The question on my mind at this moment is; will SPB release a SPB Mobile Shell 3 Panel? I seriously hope so, but i doubt that it will come for free. :) Check out the videos below…

Things are starting to roll and i have to say, i am just lovin’ it! QuadWord released today his second skin for Sony Ericsson Xperia X1’s SPB Panel – one of our most favorite panel on Xperia. QuadWord was the first one ever to release a skin (Arcane) for SPB Panel. If you missed out on that then go here . With the availability of Smoke, we now have a total of 3 skins to choose from for our SPB Panel and hopefully this count will increase rapidly with more sizzling choices.

Finally! Xperiancers, time to change that SPB Panel’s look’n’feel. QuadWord at XDA Forums has released the first-ever SPB Mobile Shell Panel’s Skin. And it looks good!

While we wait for the first SPB Mobile Shell Panel Skin to hit the internet, one way to quench the thirst is to get started with changing the background on the SPB Panel.
