    1. What do you use, and what do you like better, and why?
    Foreca ? or OMWeather ??

    I like foreca because it's smaller, and the name. Forka. haha.


    2. how do you organize your desktops??? I have all web shortcuts on one desktop, widgets on another, phone icons on another (messaging, phone, contacts, fmms) and games on another. I only have about 4 things on each desktop though. it's not full.

    what about you guys?

    1. I think OMweather has better functions, but Foreca works better in Finland and forecasts are more accurate. OMWeather uses forecasts from US? and Forecas forecast comes from Finland


    2. I have 4 desktops. one for contacts, sms, quick links for most used contacts, mail and frals mms. Second is for widgets, like nameday, foreca, calendar widget and battery widget, At third i have bookmarks for microb and fourth i have shortcuts for applications

    Foreca, OMweather is too big, dunno about forecasts, they seems to be different in every service .....

    OMWeather.

    I love the interface and the ability to get weather for my current position (via GPS). Not sure if Foreca has that feature.

    I use Foreca becasue:
    -The Foreca widget leave room for other things on that desktop panel
    -Foreca more accurate in my area

    I use OMWeather, don't remember how Foreca looks, I tried both when I first got N900 and decided to use OMWeather.

    I think OMWeather has more functions, can choose different widget looks and also allow installing different icon sets which I really like.

    both weather apps have their pros and cons.
    but i like the look of foreca more because it's black-grey and not white like omweather.
    (why is omweather white?! all the other widgets are kept in black-grey ://)

    as long as omweather has no option for making it darker for suiting most of the themes i will stick to foreca (:

    Foreca also has those lovely hourly reports for temperature and rain; they are quite accurate.

    I use OMweather for the simple reason that when I use my favorite theme, BLK&WHT, I can't see the Foreca information.

    I use foreca, because it's smaller. But forecasts for my area are not as accurate as at local services. I'll switch to OMweather if it will get data from them.

    I have one desktop for web shortcuts, one for shortcuts and widgets I use often (it's full already) and one for things I use rarely. And I still have one clear desktop "for future".
