If you mean the XDA II mini then there are plenty to choose from, I got mine from here:
http://www.freewareppc.com/
http://www.snapfiles.com/pocketpc/pocketpcfw.html
Just choose those apps for Windows Mobile 2003, some 2002 apps may work but most will give you errors or just freeze.
I also suggest you download (if you don't have yet) the mp3 ringtone patch so you can use mp3s as ringtones. Try this:

@vineet, i haven't tried installing apps using BT, I may be wrong (I actually hope I am) but i don't think that's possible with the XDA II mini. I normally use the USB cable to install apps and transfer files.
sorry for the late reply (had a long weekend
)

You can use the BT Activesync to install Apps over BT.
Another way to do it is, install the application on your PC, and ask it to Install on your Pocket PC on next sync.
Then go to your hard drives X:\Program Files\ActiveSync\, and select the respective *.cab file (*.msi for some wm5 apps, and transfer itover BT to your pocket pc. However these apps will go by default into your Main memory and not the Storage card, there is no way (as far as I know) to install any application to your Storage Card this way (in WM5 you can, but in 2003SE and below, you can only use Activesync to install on to the Storage card, though there may be away, I'm unaware of it). Considering the Mini's rather extreme lack of storage, I suggest you go for the BT ActiveSync

from where can i get this application? as i have told u guys that the cd's i got in the box r the original ones but the language is dutch..pls help me on this...

Activesync is the software that you need to install to allow your pc to have access/control over your XDA's data. I believe it works for both wireless and USB connection, but I haven't tried using BT yet.
Try to download an english installer here:

I'm not sure if there is an official product named XDA mini. I always assumed it refers to XDA II mini.

You can directly download *.cab files from the net. Not the *.exe installers, which are ment for win32. However, if you find a *.exe file which will run directly on the xda, you can download and run it, just make sure that you have all the runtimes installed. (I believe the vs.net Compact Framework 1.1 comes pre-installed on wm2003se)

@Debu thanks for the reply. Is there any way I can send a contact via sms
I really dont know how to do that in Xda, have tried almost every possible way but could'nt succeed.
Posted by Debu
@vin: Its not possible. Period.
I've tried everything.....and I mean Everything. WM does not support it, not even the newer wm2005 supports it.
