Looking for a good toolkit for windows mobile development.

So far, I looked into the Resco toolkit and I'm not so impressed with it. Especially the databinding.

Anyother toolkit that is worth a try to have a rich user experience?

One item that has been invaluable for us is the OpenNETCF library, which provides some functionality that was dropped or missing from the compact framework.

A: 

If I can add my experience: I have been using Resco toolkit for more than 14 months now. And I have to say I am really impressed by the overall quality and features the components contain. Besides, I got a free support with valid subscription. Anytime I have a problem the guys from Resco are able to help and it rarely takes them more than a day to find a solution. I know there are other components but with Resco toolkit I got a solid product, perfect support plus regular updates and fixes.

It's just that the databinding with resco is a bit annoying. It's all manual. But yean I think we are going with the resco as well.

If you're looking for attractive GUI on Windows Mobile I'd go with Bee Mobile iPack. It contains about 20 .NET CF components featuring anti-aliasing, double buffering, transparency effects, color gradients, shadows, etc. They're quite cool.
