Hi, just wanted to know a good finance program for my pocket, doesn't matter if it's a freeware or shareware. your recommendation is appreciated.
There are two main ones out there that are pretty good. Both support synchronization with MS Money (neither sync to the 2007 version yet but have updates pending) or Quicken. Very much suggest trying the demos of both to see what works for you best:

Have used Cash Organizer for years!! Suits my needs allowing for scheduled/recurring transaction and setup of multiple accounts. Stores the transactions in registry dB's so upgrading app doesnt mean loosing all the data. Also provides very simple backup of data. Finally there is a today plugin if needed (I have never used that part)

I've tried all three (that I know of):
MS Money for Pocket PC (free)
spb Finance ($25)
Cash Organizer ($25)
MS Money is flakey, I've had it lose transactions. Also it doesn't want to sync with Desktop MS Money using AKU 2.3
SPB Finance seemed okay but I just didn't like the "Look & Feel" also there were some sync issues and I hate that. I just seemed a bit limited, you know felt like it should do more (seems mature compared to MS Money for PPC but really isn't).
I'm currently on the trial period of Cash Organizer and I'm loving it. It's almost like having full-blow MS Money on my phone and the sync hasn't failed me yet. I'm gonna buy this one!

I noticed that I cannot sync my calendar completely anymore. I use ActiveSync 3.7+Lotus EasySync Pro 4.1 ENG for this. After the upgrade to 4.00.10 I can still sync contacts and recurring things like birthdays, but no appointments/meetings. The fieldmapping in EasySync Pro looks the same as before in PPC2002, there must be a difference somehow in 4.00.10.
Does anyone know where the difference comes from?
4.00.10 is based on wm2003. so of course there are alot of changes internally. is Easysync pro 4.1 compatable with wm2003? check with the manufacturer to make sure that it is.
The IBM Lotus website says nothing but CE+ PPC+PPC2002, but it is the same text there since may 2002. They do not actively support it.
There is no helpdesk etc. Which I do not like since I paid $70 for this tool.
I need to find a workaround either in EasySync Pro or in WM2003 - so far could not find any. Anyone?
Tried everything to get easysick toork, with no joy. IBM support is a joke. :evil:
I switched to mNotes from Cadenza available at commontime.com it works great!
Wish I'd known about it before I shelled out for easysick :?
tx for the tip. I noticed I can get EasySync Pro to work with WM2003 when I sync less than 500 items in my calendar (bye, bye 5 year history). Anyway, I'll check Cadenza
@all:
i have xtndconnect 4.7 here. i can sync adress book, calendar and notes. but syncing EMAIL with lotus notes is a real mess.
all my inbox mails go crippled to "draft". so it's useless.
any comments?
regards ize|man
xtndconnect is the same as EasySync. I think lotus have licensed it some how. As I said in my previous post, it sucks at the best of times and is nearly as useless under wm2003 as lotus support for it.
Try cadenza's mNotes you will not regret it. I think they have a free trial at commontime.com
PS I do not work for Cadenza :!:
I do. The company is CommonTime, not Cadenza - Cadenza *was* the name of the product, but now we have mNotes and mForms. Soon we'll be releasing mControl, mSecure OTA and mSecure PDA - and a new website which I'm doing parts of. The new Evaluation system does not require you to enter any details on the website until you come for support or if you like it enough to buy it
sooo i use outlook for my email and my mda has out look great i can sync them but for most of my pim i use lotus organizer. ive ran a search or two in here and also in google but all i can find is information on syncing with lotus notes.
any one got any ideas on how to sync my contacts and agenda with lotus organiser ??? confused
You need XTNDConnect PC - From Extended Systems
I had the same problem with Lotus Organizer 6.1.
XTNDConnect PC works perfectly for me.

It is not cheap at $59.99 but it does a good job.
Good Luck :lol:
what !!!!!
60 USD
THERE IS NO WAY I'LL PAY THAT FOR A PEICE OF SOFTWARE
i mean i understand that things take time to develop but thats just was to much for what it actualy lets me do.
i wouldnt mind paying 10 20 even 30 usd but not 60
and developers wonder why people upload applications and share pah
This has been posted before I know.( I am Not referring to RMR expense report)
I am looking out for a proper software for My O2 Mini S (WIZARD) where I can keep a track of My Daily expenses and synchronise with My DESKTOP PC / LAPTOP on daily/ regular Basis.
The same is available in the name of HANDY EXPENSES (for NOKIA9300 or SONY ERICSSON P910i)
Thanx in advance !! :!:
have you tried Microsoft Money? there is the companion app pocket money that can syncronize between PC and Poket PC.
bye
I use Microsoft Money and sync with Spb Finance on my mobile. I know Spb Finance is usable without MS Money if you want to use it standalone.
It may be a bit overkill for just a few expenses though...

cmara - are you talking about MS's Pocket Money - this does not work on WM 2005 and they recently announced that Money 2007 will NOT support sync'ing to WM 2005 either!
sorry, I still use WM2003 with Pocket Money 2005 and this works....
Try TimeTTracker at www.rfcons.com. I have used it for years. Great time and expense tracking. Syncs to desktop version using ActiveSync.
Why MS decided not to support Money on the Pocket PC astounds me. Pocket Money was THE reason I bought my first PDA (XDA IIi) - I used it more than any other app.
Ours is not to reason why...

Also check out WalletWare http://www.walletware.com.
This doesn't work on WM5?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/money.mspx
Thanx for all the Links Guys
I guess I can try EXPENSE PLUS coz It seems lighter than MS Money which otherwise too is Not required as mmm_ok has quoted It may be a bit overkill for just a few expenses though...

I have Microsoft Money on my laptop, not the most upto date version.
Is there a program to run it on my mda, done some searches but am always nervous in case it screws up my MDA.
Does anyone use Microsoft Money and sync to MDA?

Agreed. I had to migrate to Spb Finance, as well. Microsoft no longer supports MS Money for the Ppc.
Hi
I have my HD for already a week and it's amazing!!.
but I decided to buy it because I needed a tool like this for business purposes, by now I'm using it for mail on the go, and of course like a powerful agenda with Pocket Informant, but due my short experience with a pocket PC, I know that there must be much more uses and software that I don't know yet, then I would like to ask for advices about this matter, may be software or even tips to be able to to take more advantages of this incredible phone!
BTW I found this two thread, but are quite short

hi, im not quite sure what you are asking for? but, i use mine for work to. i dont find the need for anything extra than what is already included in M$ mobile office
i use the calendar and outlook which is synced through my organisations exchange server though activesync over the mobile network. in the main i do this manually but also by setting it up to do autosync at intervals.
you can set it to have pushmail too if your companies mail server will allow this
pocket outlook does all that the full pc version does (near as dammit) email, access to my corporate address book, meeting scheduling and invites etc etc
is that what you wanted to know?
OK, here is the "business" oriented sub-set of all my apps:
apMemo 2.3 http://www.apsoftsystems.com/apmemo/index.htm
apMemo allows for alarmed note taking on the go
Ilium Listpro 5.0.0.2016 http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/lp/listpro.htm
Listpro is great - I use this for whole loads of lists on the PC and HD and swop the lists back and forth
Metro 5.71 http://www.nanika.net/Metro/

thanks, well yes something like that I was looking for, but may be a little more focused in meetings and projects, I'm using list Listpro for this two purposes but I can imagine there are better and specialize software for this.
about meetings I need to lead meeting sometimes, and write down some ideas or comments in each topic on this meetings.
same with projects, I start a project, and I need to write down all the steps of it, and the progress of each one too
thanks Cheesy Dave, there are really useful app there!
thanks audscott
i guess im a caveman when it comes to such business things... i just use ms word to make lists
notepad for basic notes
i find that the ms mobile office suite included does all i need (along with the other software in pocket outlook such as tasks etc)
small tip if you do want to use a different front end like SBSH PocketBreeze or spb pocketplus etc
dont need to run secondtoday type progs which just chew up more memory, just untick manila from the today plugins screen and do away with manila. personally i find it to be just bells and whistles and not much function, uses loads more system resources than other after market apps with nothing more (less in my opinion) on offer
i use spb pocketplus together with spb weather and spb phone suite all sat as my front screen. i can access all my needed software with one touch, make calls with one touch, switch ring profiles with one touch fire up wifi with one touch... in fact 99% of what i need to do with my HD i do with 1 touch using this set of software. the only time i need to use the stylus is for typing (im kak handed using my fingers to type and am pretty fast with the stylus)
as i said up there^^^^ i use MS office for all my other bits as i can bang it stright over to my laptop to use the full versions if necessary
i guess its down to what you need, what you like and what you get used to. ive been using this combo of progs for 4 years now so am a bit stuck in the mud so to speak
ill try to do a screen grab of my today page to show you what i mean.... but you might not like it as i am very much in favour of function over form
(ive trialled spb mobile shell and spb diary but again find them unecessary.... why do you need a diary on your today screen when it is one touch away and a hell of a lot more confidential if your diary isnt open for all to see all the time (i work in healthcare so confidentiality is a big requirement! )
business
I have been using pda in my construction business for many years to keep appointments. I tend to forget them and rely on the alarm. I have most of the incoming phone calls redirected to the phone. I use agenda one because you can link contacts to appointements i.e the alarm sounds to tell me to meet Mrs Smith. I click on that and it brings up Mrs Smiths address.
We are trying business contact manager for outlook in the office as a CRM and have tried the pda add in to view them. It just does,t work. I have heard over other software that makes the contacts visible in outlook mobile.
I also use mine mainly for Business (and pleasure), work in an Australasian role with travel in Australia and New Zealand.
Must admit I am VERY impressed with the function and accuracy of WorldCard mobile. Sure beats the manual data entry of B-Card info
A few of the apps I'm using on my HD
SPB Traveller - to manage my flights, accomodation and rental car bookings.
GarminXT - with Australia and New Zealand maps to help me get to the places I need to.
SPB Weather - helps me know what to expect and what to take when I travel.
SPB Time - My travel alarm clock etc.
SPB Wallet - Helps me remember the multitude of logon details for company (and private)
systems access as well as credit cards and so on.
SPB Finance - Tracks my out of office expenses for me.
Pocket Investor - Mobile management of my stocks.
Softmaker Suite - A really great set of applications which provide me FULL edit and formatting alignment for my Word, Excel and Powerpoint files.
Pocket Informant - Replaces the PIM
RESCO Utility pack - Great file management for shifting documents around, deleting etc.
A few other general apps.
HD Tweak
Gsen
Sprite Backup
MSS Convertor
SKTools
SPB Mobile Shell (but using the "ChangeSKIN" application to provide multiple contact photo screens etc. )
SPB Phone Suite
SPB Brain Evolution
Opening multiple files in Excel Mobile

Hi jonajuna, I am a new Touch HD user (and this is my first PDA). Since you use the Office so extensively, could you please help me - how can I open more than one document e.g. in Excel? I often use Excel documents in my work and I constantly need to copy&paste info from one Excel file into another.
Thanks!
I'm also useing mine for business and pleasure. Works well with appointments, addresses, GPS, etc. during business hours.
I've picked up an HTC Touch HD, and I'm a semi-business/pleasure/personal user.
Here are some of the items that I found were useful for me.
As far as the MSDict and MSPhrase apps go, you can find English -> Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Russian, Malaysian, Chinese (trad and simplified), Korean and so on!
Here are the links for the Japanese one since I've been up all night downloading these.

http://htc-touch-hd-t8282.handster.com/product.php?id=639
And SPB Traveler is great when it comes on converting common knowledge from overseas such as units, clothing sizes and linguistics as it helps me identify and use the right phrases.
http://htc-touch-hd-t8282.handster.com/product.php?id=439
Also, since I'm both in class and at work, sometimes I'll need a really powerful calculator and the Touch HD does not disappoint with it's capabilities.

There you go, hope this helps.
Hi there,
i´m also one of those guys who using the HTC HD for business.
Maybe the programms i use, would be helpful.
At least it depends on your special needs.
Main focus for me:
Mail -> BBconnect
ToDo list -> MLO ( My Life Organized )
Calender -> Calender Touch
Travelling -> SPB Traveller
If you need further information, just let me know.
