more apps on the Qtek 9100

With the 1 GB memory card in the Qtek 9100 mobile, I can install more and larger apps. Opera Mobile 10 was a success, but it uses a lot of memory and seems to use more network also than the previous version. Nice interface, though, and has tabbed browsing. Had to reset IE as the default browser, since Opera was drinking so much RAM it has to run standalone and takes a long time to open. For that, followed this article to download FixIE.cab (requires registration) from the xda developers forum and run it. Have not tested it yet, hope it works. Google maps was not available from the publicized link at m.google.com/maps - manually downloaded it from www.google.com/mobile/maps/ which had a link to download binary. Skype for Windows Mobile has been discontinued, but I downloaded from CNET. Flopped. Voice quality is as bad as before. Tried iSkoot for Skype. At first it said password is wrong. Some forum pointed out that iSkoot requires only alphanumeric password! Tried that, now the error message changes to "Currently unable to connect." Maybe this is because I'm in India? So, back to Fring. But some problem with installing it, "error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename" - have contacted fring support.
