I really find it un-user-friendly
Im always going week-day-month-year over and over again.
can anyone suggest something decent please?
standard windows mobile. and i have to say .. its ba far the most powerfull calender i met. works basicly exactly like the outlook one does.
whats the problem???
I find Pocket Informant to be the best. Worth the money!
I've found SBSH Calendar Touch to be the best for light usage, pocket informant has many more advanced features though.
Can pocket informant preset reoccuring events so i dont have to enter starttime, endtime, category ect. everytime?

well i find its not very easy to navigate. for example if im looking for when my mates wedding is and i know its in january, i have to go through all the dates, when im wrong, then press day week month 3 times to get back to month try again....
i just do not find it user-friendly at all. i think the calendar on my old w810i was much better.

You can just choose the month or other look from the menu, without pressing all over again.
I'm happy I can have so many views.
IT IS one of the best calendars out there.
BTW if you look for somethin', just use Search app.
Get ThumbCal. It's seriously good stuff! Looks good too.

I like Google Calendar. Can that be put on the X1?

I think you can still find the free version of thumbcall .(it`s an old version but it works fine on the xperia try freeware site)
Still haven't found a decent free one. I just don't feel like paying a lot for a function that should be good in the first place.
depends on the point of view ... i like it alot and dislike most of the other calenders which are available.

Yep. You can use oggsync to sync google calendar with your winMO calendar. It works like a charm. never had any trouble with it.
I have many reoccurring events like soccer practices and my job (only in the weekends) and it handles those perfectly.
In an attempt to turn this topic into something a bit more informative;
Here's the summary of beforementioned calendar applications, these are all paid.
- Pocket informant
- Thumbcal (personal favourite)
- SBSH
- Google calendar
---
Now my problem is that these all cost 15~30 bucks which is just a bit too much imo.
Thing to keep in mind that they must be able to work with WVGA.
Who knows some more nice calenders we can try out?

is there one? I had a treo for years and really enjoyed the way I could assign colors to categories. I haven't found an app for the Mogul that allows that. Does anyone know of one I could try? thanks!
free today and tomorow only
free today and tomorow only - Pocket Informant - does what you want and more! http://software.pocketpcthoughts.com/product.asp?id=1025
not really what I'm looking for. I tried it and it's way too complicated! And it highlighted the whole appt, not what I'm referring to. Made it hard to read depending on the color. I am looking for something rather simple like the Treo 650/700 has.
There's Agendus.

EDIT: nevermind, you just use the code PIFREE at mobihand.com
Why the hell has no one made a touch SMS program?
I HATE the one that comes with pocket PC with a passion.
I agree with you a million percent. I've used vito sms and pocketcm but they both annoy me...slow and inconvenient (in my opinion. I know there are a lot of happy pocketcm users )
Anyway, I'd be willing to pay for a skinnable sms app if it was exactly the same as the existing one (ie: has got the same menu..sms/mms, windows live, outlook etc, but just looks a LOT nicer)...so if there's anyone out there
Honestly, i'd pay too, and i haven't paid for any of my software for years.
as much as everyone will hate me for saying it. Id love to just see icontact with there version of threaded sms. not a huge fan pocketCM for some reason. but atleast they have threaded sms
Yup, people ar going to "hate" you for it. LOL
The big plus for iContact is its speed for the basic duties of looking people up and dialling them. It is a phone in the first instance.
I have both installed and use both depending on what i am looking for.

haha! yea. me too. I even created a CM theme that looks identical to icontact. it's a genius program.
I´ve found IContact V.0.5, and I'm using since that. The must is that with only two strokes I can match a contact and make a phone call, or iniciate one SMS, this is in my opinions the basic concept, and remain like this.
If somebody want to put in one application, contacts, sms, mme, phone call, outlook, opera, netfront, picsel, wifi, gprs, and ..... they are free, but don't complain about the monster.
PCM with all those screens and options to do this and that, might real good, no complains, but too much ways to reach a simple thing, find one contact
One more thing, what's the ideia about a finger friendly SMS app. ?
Menu ? Keyboard ?

Finger friendly, maybe not - it's finger friendly already I guess, but there's a loooong way to go appearance-wise. Something like iContact but for sms (a separate app) would be perfect. That way the styles match, and if it were to have the same qualities as iContact would be fast, simple, customisable and very convenient.
The windows one isn't very finger friendly.
Something like the iPhone's SMS program.

Custom Taskbar
I know there´s people working on this using batterystatus. BUT
make a program that hides the wm taskbar, and you can put your custom one would be great.
This!!! lol
Auto update SIM contacts
My SIM card is an emergency backup if my phone becomes unusable. I would like an application that automatically adds new contacts and updates any changed contacts from the phone to the SIM card.

PIM Backup v2.8 .. i hope this help u
What would be great to have in a ppc:
1. a finger friendly RSS viewer in A_C style able to play videos, sounds and display html articles without link to a Pocket Internet Explorer page
2. a finger friendly internet explorer. NetFront is the best one i saw for ppc but a Safari "remake" (not Safari-like) would be great. I saw in my wife's iphone and i can say it's the BEST internet browser ever.
3. a "webmail" client, i don't know how to explain this. It's also an iphone idea. Somewhat like a RSS reader, with which you login in your mailbox without the "push" thing. And then it works like a "refresh" on a webpage.
4. a slideshow (for a picture browser just like A_C's S2V) with "really" nice transitions effects, for entertaining purposes
5. a calendar app just like ThumbCal but with all the views and fields available in WM Calendar with one more feature. The ability to share an appointment (via sms for example) with another WM user who got the same app (so eventually installing this calender it will add a feature to the sms software to "add the received event")
Maybe it's too much oh, and:
6. if there is a WM app to let my contacts with address become a POI for the famous navigation softwares (MioMap, Tomtom, Navigon, etc.) it would be great.

He wants the contacts copied from Outlook to the SIM card automatically. That is, he adds contacts to Outlook, then, without any effort on his part, on some regular schedule, the app should look in Outlook and find new contacts and copy them to the SIM card.
I don't see in the PIMBackup thread that it is capable of this.

Better Device Password App
This has been suggested before...most recently I saw it in the S2U2 thread....
What I need is a better device password app....or maybe just an app that lets us skin the default WinMo password function. I absolutely love S2U2, but there is really no "security" about it. Anyone can unlock my phone with no issues. I have also tried using both S2U2 and the default password function. Works, but not smooth by any means.
Someone suggested modifying S2U2 to be like the iPhone's unlock function (gasp!). For that, you slide first, then are prompted for a pin code. That would be the perfect, best of both worlds, app.
Back in the WM2003 days, there were several apps like this (e.g., NiceStart, 1-Pass), but nothing since. There is PocketSecure, which is a great app, by a good developer, but right now it does not meet my needs (notification issue).
Thoughts?

There is no topic (at least nothing anywhere near recent) for Pocket Secure...and A_C has announce that he is done with S2U2 development for a while....thus I put it here.
This could be a call for a new app....but you are the OP, so you control the Poll
Thank you for your reply Dr.Mazika. Can't install the Opera 9.5 beta from an old link found on XDA because it (probably) counted the days i used Opera 8 trial in the past. So 0 days left and i couldn't find any other link about it (they don't even sell it?).
About the software already on the stage, you are right i should ask features there, but i am thinking that with more features something like thumbcal will lose its purpose: "tap tap et voilà, you are busy tomorrow night", and it won't be like that if it becomes full of options and features (althought maybe the views are possible).
I have been looking for the message screen colours to be inverted. I love the black themes and it would be so much better to just have black screen with white message. Im sure this couldnt be so hard to do for someone with experience??? would it?

i 2nd tat, but there should be some screen saver to superseed the default win password screen..just in case, somebody hardreset ur phone.
i would love to have a more comfortable Network-Tool,
maybe providing ping, ipconfig, telnet, (i know there's a nice putty version but it has no lan config tools) tracert, route tracert etc.^^
so i don't know if this is possible or if it has allready been realised, as you metioned just a suggestion..
P2U (Pass to unlock)

I 3rd that, a device unlocking program to be used with your fingers would be realy great. Suggesting a name also "P2U (Pass to unlock)"

Hi everyone;
hope you doing all good. SO there's my question. I'm curious to know if there is a way to show the tasks days by day. Like in the HTC Calendar for exampe.
It would be easier for me to use my task then.
Or any apps to do that?
Have a good day.

Best PIM application WebIS pocket informant
Hello everybody, I used to be a long user of SPB Finance to keep track of my personal expenses but ever since I "moved" to HTC Leo, the nightmare began. Does anybody know a Finance program finger friendly and to be used with my Leo? I searched the forums for a solution but with no luck so far. Pls help!
I tried Adrian Money and it is ok for me
Same problem, now use CashOrganizer from Inesoft - works fine, sync with MsMoney.
Is any of above mentioned programs able to import txt or csv files? I stopped using Quicken since it uses some weired way of importing bank transactions. At least banks in Norway do not provide QFX or OFX files for private users...

Cannot seem to find this program. Are you sure it's "Adrian Money"?
I have the same problem - long time SPB finance user and now in HD2 this application is hopeless.
I'm hoping (probably forlorne) that SPB will make it finger friendly.
Meanwhile, I'm trying this and over the holidays will test it more: http://www.sandernijdam.nl/easyexpenses/

i like easy expenses, east to use, finger friendly, and easy to see totals. just wish it had some graph modes and you could export to something besidse a .txt file like an excel or something. also the stock icon blows, had to replace it with one found on one of the icon threads.
Thank you all!
After carefully analyzing your suggestions I stopped at Adarian Money which is, in my opinion, the best so far.
I highly recommend it.
Thanks
