You can apply the HTC Taskmanager to the HD2 and this will enable some settings that define how the X should act. I've set it to minimize on normal tap and to close it on longer press.

the interface is very nice on my omnia.
as long as people can find all the ap shops, like samsungs, microsofts, orange etc…

but thats the great thing about windows phones, choice!! and to think its an ms based product thats "open" to users rather than closed. if only the eu etc saw that instead of ms is evil all the time!

it is a nice app but I'm worried about the fragmentation that this is aiding. a lot of people might not think much of this, but it goes a long way. I dont' tihnk it's right for a user to have to wade through 4 different marketplaces. I had hoped winmo devs would have thrown their collective weight behind the Microsoft's Marketplace and propell it forward.

Hmm, from an initial impression, it seems pretty good so far. The interface is well made and looks as good as the Windows Marketplace. I might change my opinion later, but right now, it seems good. OpnMarket pretty much came out of the left field for me (I literally did not know about it until yesterday), but I'm kind of happy I didn't have to wait for such a great idea.

Its good, but has no menu, and therefore no exit button. The X on most phones will close it, but not on all. On the HD2 it minimises it only, and it uses quite a lot of RAM and seemed to make the phone laggy while minimised.
