What's the best calendar application out there? I think the built-in one is too limited. I owned a Mteor before I bought the TyTN II and replaced the built-in one with Papyrus.
The best one for PocketPC/Windows Mobile Professional that I've found so far is Agenda Fusion (www.developerone.com).
Pocket Informant every time
I'd recommend looking at AgendaOne more than Agenda Fusion these days. It's the newer/slicker version of the product. I use that & have for years after upgrading from Agenda Fusion.
I tried Agenda One, Agenda Fusion and Pocket Informant. I prefer PI.
What I do NOT like about Agenda One is its limited icons. Maybe the made new ones in the meantime, but there were only a few and the TONS that exist for Fusion are NOT COMPATIBLE with One! Go figure. Also, it is supposed to be faster and fine-tuned for one-handed operation --- well, YMMV but I found it could not live up to that promise.
Good luck making you choice.
EDIT: THIS WAS MY 100th POST

For those who are using Agenda Fusion on the Tytn II, how fast/slow is it? Are there any lags when opening the application? What version of AF are you using?
I have version 7.85 installed on the Tytn II and I have a delay of approx. 2 seconds from when the application starts to when the tasks in are listed.
When they developed AgendaOne, they did change the required icon format and the Fusion Icons generally won't work. But usually for $5-6 bucks you can find good icon packs around. DesignsByBert has three different packs available, for example. I happen to like the business one...
Yeah I have seen them, but I found them inadequate. I know picky picky.

Is AgendaOne faster than AgendaFusion? AgendaFusion is quite slow to start (same applies to Pocket Informant, for that matter).
I found AgendaOne to be much faster than AgendaFusion.
There's a slight delay when it loads as it builds the view, but it's typically only 1-2 seconds for me (something like 200 appointments, 20 task, 850 contacts). I recall Fusion being much longer, but then it was also on a slower device with less RAM and it was around eighteen months ago.
I have played a little with Pocket Informant now. I like it better than Agenda Fusion. Features are similar, but it looks way better.
When using Pocket Informant is there anyway to combine the calendar with PocketCM for Contacts?
I love pocketCM but when I install PI I get lumbered with PI's Contacts - which arent as nice as PocketCM
PS How rude of me... I'm new in here and didn't even have the courtesy to say HI
PPS Hi All. I'm new in here. Loving the Kaiser/Vario III/Tytn II/all the other names!

Good question. The PI contact application stinks. I'd love to replace it with something else - even the built-in one. I don't think that's possible either.
Handling alarms and notifications
Two questions:
1. I really like the option in Agenda Fusion to set an alarm by absolute date and time. Is this possible in Agenda One or Pocket Informant?
2. When a notification pops up, I would like to be able to select the Menu/View Item option and have the appointment come up for editing in Agenda Fusion rather than the default Calendar. Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks.

if you install pocket cm and then use RemapSoftkeys to make pocket cm your contacts soft key bobs you uncle
I heard someone say that there is a plugin that will allow you to browse your contacts like the iphone does?

Yes, there is. Use the search option and you will find it.
I like iContact there is also PocketCM (I believe that's it). Try a search for those.
finger friendly friends is a good stuff, the best i have used so far
I don't know the PocketCM app exactly, but it hardly can be better than the finger friendly friends... best pocket app I've ever seen.
You can also use the HTC RandomAccess cab (this scroll by letters), look at the Cab Collection (sticky thread).
But definitely +1 for FFF, it rocks !
Yeah, I forgot about this. I currently still have a Hermes (with a radio that only works sometimes) and am looking to get a Kaiser soon. FingerFriendy Friends does look like a winner...
FFF looks really good, the advantage with PcoketCM is that it includes other functionality such as threaded SMS that works really well
You can also download an ipohone skin for version 0.15 that looks good
For me it is the best all rounder that I have used to date

PocketCM version .15 is great, has a lot of functionality and many skins to choose from. You can get it here: http://www.pocketcm.com
Version .16 (development version) is a total rewrite of the skinning mechanism, so wait until this gets fleshed out more before upgrading to it.
I now have both.In my opinion they both excel in different ways The perfect combo for me would be the functionality of the keyboard in fff with the presentation of Pocket CM i.e when listing contacts the ability to show photos and it's own messaging gui rather than the stock wm6 one.
Not sure if you guys have seen this but I found it last night
its a new UI for wm5/6 I have a 750 with this UI and the wife has a 700W with this running its looks very nice and thought Id post it up...BTW it totally FREE!!!
http://www.pointui.com/
ENjoy and support the maker if u like it I gave him 50$ bucks....
Tried it and love it!
It's still pretty early in functionality. Most notably is the lack of customization. I am a Goodlink user so without the ability to customize the interface I can't really use it as a primary interface.
It definitely shows the potential of what's to come though.
Hmmm... reminds me of Spb Mobile Shell:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en
Similar idea, i.e. a basic shell for easy access to frequently used items.
Be careful
When uninstalling, the left button key does not return to normal (E-mail), you will need to remove the registry key
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
I didn't have that issue following the recommended install steps from their forum then soft reset.
Like the product, looking forward to further development and ability to customize. There have been a few leaks of the new WM interface, will be interesting to see how this product influences the MS product.
Cheers
it doesn't work on smartphone landscape screen 320x240
Two days ago I downloaded a new interface which seems to be working great on the AT&T Tilt... Was just curious if anyone else has any experience with it? I think they released it on the 31st..

Hi,look at this post,i don't use it,but people give their opinion.
I have been trying it today. I actually like it in terms of turning the device into a dumbphone.
It disables the hardware buttons, but a quick press of the red end call key and you are back to the today screen and can use hardware buttons.
PointUI
I have just started using it, but on a VGA Exec. It does not support VGA but still works (everything is smaller than it should be). If they release a VGA version I will definitly use it as even with on the VGA screen it is fantastic.
I was looking for a touch style interface and have used HTC cube (various versions), and also the Ipod style inteface. All of them are close but not quite there.
For me, PointUI is there....It is the best I have seen and possibly because it is not emulating other devices it realy hits the mark.
I will install on my wizard for the moment until they release the VGA version.
As a last note does anyone know if you can drop the resolution on a EXEC? Sound a dumb question but I would like to use PointUI as it should be.
Tried it right when it was released on my Tilt. My initial impressions:
1. Lots of potential.
2. Very slick animation
3. Needs quite a bit of work and polishing before I consider using it.
3a. Did not match my theme, so odd color issues on the top bar.
3b. Needs to be cusomizable to use my preferred programs.
3c. I like my today page as i have it setup that shows all the info I need in one place. PointUI is nice eye candy, but does not give me that one stop shop.\
I don't know I may be the odd one out as everyone seems to like it so much.
I somehow am of the opinion that a combination of SPB PocketPlus and SPB Mobile Shell is a far more efficient and effective interface. Though just my opinion
links removed.
it does look good but my personal preferance is not to make my device look like an iphone otherwise id of brought one.good work though.
This Looks Great!
Well done!
very cute, great work snachez
if you're going to use HTCHome plugin, then there is no need for a SMS/messaging icon - its already built into that plugin
how did you set icons on your today screen like that. i really like your theme and those icons seems very functional. i want just that today screen and other skins but not all the extra software
ok ultimate launcher. nvm
sanchez, the more i look at those images, the more i can see myself using that theme. it looks very functional. i like. i will give it a try when it comes out
snachez,
Am so glad you's taking part in talk like a pirate day... Arrr!
Psi
looks good. when is it gonna be available?
I really like this, it still had the Dark Kaiser style, with some Iphone-y sensibilties lol. Definity one to keep tabs on, good work
Edit - 100 posts, baby!
I like the look, it would be nice if you would consider using Throttle Launcher as another base to do a version.
There are several advantages to using TL:
1 - Its highly user configurable (everyone has different apps they want to access).
2 - It has really nice thumb scrolling
3 - It can easily load the HTC Home screen plugin (and others) on any of its Pages.
4 - It will soon have its own customizable readers and calendar.
Which gives it a much stronger all around integrated interface.
Question - does your dialer have the redial problem most custom dialer have?

Thanks for the comments. I haven't played with TL at all so far, but once I'm satisfied with this release and get bored, I'm sure I'll need something else to occupy my time The youtube vids look pretty cool.
As for the dialer, its Paul DeGroots version - I never need redial so I'm not sure, but there are a few known flaws with a dll thats being worked on presently I believe.
It looks great! Please keep us updated with any news.
I really like the looks of it all. If i was going to re-flash my Tilt sounds like it would make sense to do a lite version and then add this it when available. Does that make sense? Is there one that you know of that has some/most/any of this already included?

Yep, UL and some customised iphone-like icons I've gathered from around the web. The links on the HTC Home sms/email counters do take you to the relevant screens, but I also have two other email accounts set up on the device so I find it useful to have access to those at a push of a button from the front screen (and the menu->sync option syncs all the boxes , not just the default one)
You'll be able to easily change it using the UL preferences to suit your tastes.

I'm not much into flashing actual ROMs personally, so I plan on releasing this theme with all the cab packages required (once I've got permission from the various authors of course.) - as well as an online update repository making all the cabs easier to find in one place.
This can be installed over a default factory ROM to make it behave the way I feel a device of this great capability should be accessed.
I'm thinking maybe a sashimi script ? Any ideas ?
Any of the commercial software I use will be substituted with trial versions and require purchase if you want to use it permanently, or swapped easily to the program of your choice.
sounds good. can't wait.
Yes I agree Looks good Like the icons they aren't as cartoony as the iphones go for it !!
preview update (13.09.08)
Updated with a few more screens & swapped from HTC Weather to Rumbals Diamond WeatherPanel (great stuff, support his work!), a new SPB Calc skin I just finished and changed over to Kies Carbon Keyboard skin for the time being. Reload the image in the first post if you'd like to see the changes.
