OpenNETCF.org has just released version 1.1 of their Smart Device Framework which is a free and open source collection of a ton of useful things that didn't make it into the .NET Compact Framework.  My favorite addition to this release is their SmartList control which lets you give your app the same filtering capabilities as Smartphone's built-in contact list.  Here's a screen shot from their sample which displays a filterable list of 250+ countries.

You can download 1.1 from here or read the press release about this here.  Big kudos to OpenNETCF.org for putting together another great release and helping developers take our platform to the next level.  You guys rock!
