The AT&T 8525 (with either Win Mobile 5 or 6) does not natively support the ability to record a voice note with the ‘push and hold’ of a hardware button. This capability can be restored by using this program.

For those experiencing negative results while trying to charge your 8525 (or any other HTC device) in the car or via usb not connected to a computer, the trick is to turn off the 8525 first, and then plug it in; more useful information on this problem can be found at xda-developers.com.

Registry Hacks I have applied:
Disable “message sent” notification on Text Messages

Currently Testing:

pocketwit – Twitter client for Windows Mobile 6.0

First impressions – Awesome!
