There are two apps that I have used that I must say make the GPS built into the Kaiser along with its data connectivity pretty cool. Of course, the GPS is a great tool for mapping software such as TomTom, iGuidance, Google Maps, MS Live Search, and others... but the possibilities of GPS in a connected device like the Kaiser can lead to many other great things. Two that I have found useful are Mobile Justice and 3d Tracking. Here is a quick description of what they are.
First, I have installed Mobile Justice which alerts you when a SIM card is changed and will send a text message to a number of your choosing when it is changed... for example it was stolen and a card was sent in. It can also send the current GPS location. In addition, you can send the device a text message with a keyword and request at any time, the current GPS location. You can also put a message on the device screen. I know people often cook this application into ROMs. I hope that someone does this for a future Kaiser kitchen. I learned about the new GPS features here: http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/mobile_justice_sms_your_phone.html
The other app that I have used that is kind of nifty is 3d tracking. It updates your GPS location in near real time to a website that you can use a PC to monitor. The mapping is done using Google maps. Very cool way to keep track of valuables such as your teenagers. ;-)

What other cool uses for the GPS have you found to use with your Kaiser?
I think the latest is the GPS photo functionality that was discovered to be built in. We were talking about this functionality at work but in an actual camera. Little did I know that i would discover this same function active in my TyTn II

I did see that in the forums which just made the camera in the phone that much more useful. Very useful when on hikes or vacationing to take a quick snapshot. Sure, the camera on the phone is not a replacement for a high quality digital camera, but it is convenient and in outdoor light, does a pretty good job. Combined with the GPS tagging, it is fun too. I hope we get to see even more uses for the integrated GPS.
Please explain

Can you please explain this function and how it can be used.
I am using Nokia's smart2go gps software in my Tytn-II and its working gr8, with Nokia's maploader u can download very detailed maps with very good databases particularly for middle-east.
Similar to your Mobile Justice product, here's one I saw the other day. Its kind of like LoJack for your phone:
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocketpc-softwares/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs-2.html
It You can have your phone let you know where it is if its ever lost.
The company I work for does gps tracking for sports (running, skiing etc). I won't post the link, as i dont want to be seen as advertising.
But its pretty cool to be able to see how fast you ski (57.2mph is my fastest so far).
Someone sent me a note on this site that does something similar to 3d tracking. I will try it out now to see how it works.
http://gps.gpsxml.com/
Here is another tool that has a description with features similar to WIMP (Where Is My Phone) and Mobile Justice. Has anyone heard of it or tested it before? It is called Ultimate Theft Alert and has GPS as an add-on option.
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocketpc-softwares/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs-2.html
I had no idea there were so many tools for GPS integrated mobile phones. Here is another freebie, this time from a well known PPC developer, VITO Technology. It is called FindMe
http://www.vitotechnology.com/en/products/findme.html
And for those with coding experience... here is an example with source code.

Basic use would be if you wanted to add pictures to a map (google earth i believe supports this) you take a picture and in geomarks your pic.
It is basically done by regedit - you can read more on this in this exact forum (should be on page one or two -- easy for us to say this while the kaiser forum is still fresh)
Have a look at this..... http://www.reperion.com/
Downloaded the software, registered an account and now my handset can be tracked by anyone with a pc.
yeah the file download was down before, working now, will try this one out

This is free for now it seems. I will try it out. Do you know if it is any different than 3d tracking? That one is free too.
Had a quick look t 3d tracking, reprion looks to do asimilar thing.
Both seem pretty cool anyway
Some more interesting GPS software: http://www.jgui.net/gps/index.html
Personal observation: There should be a standard for SMS messages whereby the GPS coordinates of the sender can be sent along with text or mms messages. This would be handy for location based services and when chatting with friends.
AND wth pda's

Somthing wrong with the GPS
Hi
There's something definitely wrong with the GPS happening from time to time.
Today, TomTom was off by nearly 1 kilometre using the internal GPS. Using BT GPS everything was fine.
After a restart: the location was spot on again.
It has happened to me 3-4 times now that the GPS is completely off the charts.
Wonder if this could be fixed with a Radio ROM update ..

Sorry to maybe possible hijack this threat a little. I am also using smart2go. But I can't download any maps to my MicroSD with the Maploader. It always complaint that there is no space in my card (which has 3.7GB free). How were you able to download the maps to your card?
Many thanks in advance!
PS. Never mind. I found out that Smart2Go probably has a problem with storage cards larger than 2GB as if I use smaller MicroSD cards, the Map Loader works fine. So the solution is to run Smart2Go with a blank 2G or smaller card, then copy the files to the 4G MicroSDHC. Then Map Loader works (with a size limit of 1.8G for map data).....
Ok so still having some problems.
As noted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332811
Some programs don't instal for me, WIMP did install however (haven't tested it yet) so my assumption would be some kind of security setting that is on when installing cabs, do you guys turn it off? (i remember there was a way to do this with the Hermes) or do these apps just install out of the box (per se)?
EDIT:
Looks like its some kind of problem when i transfer the file over via activesync to the card. I put it on via straight pc to another card and it installs fine.
I found another FREE app.
Nokia is giving away for FREE a GPS software that makes possible something that even Google Maps can't: off-line mapping with use of GPS. Online mapping is not a big deal because Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and others offer it too, but with smart2go you can use GPS in combination with maps even when you are not connected to the Internet!
Here's the link to the review. From there, you can go to the site......
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/7180.html
Tested this on the N95 today and it was great, installed it on my Kaiser and it works well
I think this is much better than google maps. Gps located my location very quickly. Navigation is smooth and accurate(I think navigation lasts 3 days, I think). Very Nice me think
Thank you very much. Although I have a navigation software these cards are often better for walkers. That's why I installed Google Maps. Now I don't have to stress my free data volume so far.
I just wanted to Bump this. This is software is very handy, and FREE, and I didn't want it to get lost. Guys, you really need to try it!!!
I am confused as to what to do. I downloaded the software. But how do I get the maps on the phone?
seems to work fine on my att tilt (although i haven't left the house yet ).

you use your Wifi connection to download maps of the area you will going to, then, your phone uses it's GPS with the maps d/l'ed.
So am I correct in saying that as you surf the map using wifi etc. it stores the data on your SD card and uses it when you need it. So lets say you live in Louisiana, you can surf the whole state while on wifi or a router etc.. and it will store the map for later use??? is this correct???
seems like it still needs a data connection?
if youre driving, how can it use wifi if you cant connect to an access point?
that must mean it cannot download the map?
1. I go to ... http://www.smart2go.com/en/download/
2. select "Via PC"
3. all i am seeing is bunch of NOKIA softwares
the question is ... which particular model should we download for HTC? I selected the E95 model and I notice the file extension is slightly different, is "File: nokia_maps_1_0_upgrade_ROM.sis" instead *.CAB
any advise? thanks in advance.
It said to download the "Generic" one, that's what I did.
I am just not clear on down loading the map data!
so is this better than TomTom????
EDIT: never mind
"...although you can't do navigation (route calculation) for FREE with this program (Nokia demands money for that), you can however use it as a FREE map with GPS support!"
I have read a little more, will try downloading the map app

It's right there. The first option on that list is "Generic: Windows Mobile 5 Phone Edition".
And they also say: "Is your device not listed? Please choose the generic version for any unlisted devices that use Windows Mobile".
ok, I there has to be away to download a complete map instead of surfing the states to get some mapping data?????
Also were doesit store all its data?? I will look in the SD card.
Yes you can download the mapping data to your SD Card.
Use the mapping tool provided on the website.
You need to edit the qf file using notepad to say 1.3 rather than 1.1 or you cant do it.
I am downloading it now, and hopefully it is more accurate than google maps! BTW, is there any other gps software that i can use with my tilt??
Thanks.
Crap, i downloaded the generic version and i did not install on my Tilt. Any help??!!
so this is the only software that lets you use GPS without being connected to the internet?
i have the t-zone plan. it's probably too slow to use google maps gps right? or how does it work.. does it download ALL the directions at once, so that i would have to wait only 1-2 minutes max for each set of directions? or does it obtain the information right before i have ot make a turn and such?
Hi,
I subscribed to an unlimited web access (not emails) with my kaiser.
What would you do with this ?
Which software using the web would you install ?
(for example weather app,...)
Thanks
david
Obvious answer would be to browse the internet whenever you wanted. There are several weather programs out there ranging from SPB to the plugin in HTC Home and find the one that suits you best (not a big weather fan but i just use the HTC Home one when i want to find out anything about the weather).
Thanks
Of course, web browsing is one of the use I like
The weather soft is installed, it was an example ; it was the kind of software I did not install before in order to avoid network fees...
But now, I can install whatever I want using the network, I do not care ;-)
You can get GoogleMapMobile and use your GPS like all the time, while being in your country . No need of GPS software.
Couple of network dependent apps I like are;
Skyfire (browser, currently in beta) renders pages really well, and supports java, flash, silverlight, etc for the 'full web experience'
Microsoft Live Search or Google Maps (I prefer Live Search for it's additional enhancements including voice command)
MSN Messenger
Skype

Argh I envy you having Skyfire.. I didn't get into the beta program, any chance you could send me a copy to try out?? Not a chance if it's keyed I guess, but if not I'd very much appreciate it ;-)
I condone Google Maps as an excellent program for use on the Kaiser if you have unlimited nets, I use it as free GPS navigation software. Excellent because if you want to find a contact's address you can look it up straight from Google Maps.
Also, Opera Mini is THE browser to use if you aren't lucky enough to have Skyfire. It decimates PIE in page load times as (like Skyfire) web content is compressed at the server side before being sent to your phone, and the interface is intuitive and easy to use. No flash unfortunately, but for reading news sites, browsing xda-dev (of course) or any other generic web use it's perfect.
I got into the Skyfire beta yesterday using phelps8 as the code. Haven't used it too much yet, but impressed so far.
Yeah to sign up;
http://www.skyfire.com/sign-up/ and enter the code phelps8
Good luck.
Skyfire is the best browser out there, and it is Free!!. like google maps Skyfire has a working street view.
I also have weather panel with weather local and US maps (radar and clouds) updating every hour for two cities! it's unlimited internet!

Just as a matter of interest, why subscribe to an unlimited plan if you didn't already know if you needed it?
I am trying to run a 3 (UK) MSN/Live Messenger on my official O2 WM6.1 Kaiser. (The reason for trying is that with 3 (UK) the operator, your MSN messages doesn't count towards your data traffic; also I would like to experiment its battery drain compare to other MSN clients).
If I just log in Planet 3 (UK) (the 3 portal site), it wouldn't let me download its Live messenger client as my phone is not a compatible one. I changed my user agent string to SEW910i and downloaded the .jad file for W910i. I then removed the certificate portions (the last 2 lines) in the .jad file so that it can install on my Kaiser. It works but sometime the display is not quite way, but more importantly, only vibrate alert is possible but setting to Loud or Soft alert would still result in vibration only. I then modified the .jad file again so that instead of referencing the mp3 files from the 3UK website, it point to the local version (which I downloaded and place in the same directory as the .jad and .jar files) as:
AlertToneContact: online.mp3
AlertToneMsg: newmsg.mp3
However, it still doesn't work :-(
Is there anything I have missed?
May be I should have used the N95's version? Has anyone tried that before? Are they different? And what would be the best version?
Thanks!
SMS push on 3 Live Messenger
Also, one of the feature of the 3 (UK) MSN messenger which I Have tried on my other symbian phone is that even if the client is closed (not minimized), it can still be re-activated/re-launched automatically when new MSN messenges arrive (by listening to special SMS messages form the operator (3 UK)), if one didn't choose to sign out form the MSN server.
I notice in the .jad file there is such a line:
MIDlet-Push-1: sms://:3716, ui.Main, *
Is this a Symbian's Java virtual machine feature? Or is it a general java virtual machine feature?

Any progress on this?
Im trying to get it to work in Australia, but the 3 MSN java app is running but i cant see it at all.
I've tried the same app and found it very flaky
I have another slight problem, can I ask you to check - I can only login to MSN on 3 if I have a 3g connection.
Where we live the 3g connection is flaky and it refuses to login to MSN on GPRS :-(
Skype wise it works fine (they offer free skype-skype too) don't use their java client, look on this site for instructions how to configure the PPC / Wmobile iSkoot Client :0 tested and it's not used any data allowance.
Thanks,
I already have skoot running using my skype call allowance.
My Kaiser already has Live Messenger, but not the unlimited one.
Was trying to get it running as a pet project.
I have just switched to Three UK PAYG and have been searching around a bit. I am running a WM6.1 ROM on a Hermes.
So far I have managed to:
1) Use HTC Connection Wizard (downloaded via CRC's Device Update) to set up the internet and MMS settings.
2) Run the 'Identify as N95 (WM6.1).cab' (thanks to sub69 in this thread. 6.0 and 6.5 versions can also be found there.)
This allows me to access the My3 pages at http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/HutchKey
3) Install the 3 Live Messenger Java client. I am using the version 4.5, not the latest V5. Credits for modifying this go to therafiman at MoDaCo.
This is working with Esmertec Jbed, and is working for free as it is meant to.
'Windows_Live Messenger.zip' contains the .jad and .jar files, and only seems to work if both are copied to the phone and the .jad file is run.
The Java client is far inferior to the normal Windows Mobile Live client, but the normal client is not free to run. Additionally I have been unable to log on using the normal client over 3g. If I log on while connected to activesync or wifi then I can switch to 3g and keep it running, but this will be charging you.
I haven't looked at skype yet, because no one I regularly call uses it. However I have found these instructions which look promising despite the dodgy numbering system:
1) First you need to download the Iskoot version of Skype from www.iskoot.com. You'll need to enter your name & mobile number and select your phone type.
2) Once downloaded, install ISkoot on your windows mobile
3) Start up Iskoot but don't log in yet.
4) Exit Iskoot
3) Use a registry editor to change the following keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE to "http://mobile.three.co.uk/948"
BackupHost
CallUrl
DefaultSkHost
Pushhost (only if it exists)
4) Exit the registry editor and start Iskoot again. This time log in (mine logged in immediately - some people say their first log-in takes a few minutes).
5) That's it!. You can verify if things have worked by examining registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE\Cal lNumber. If ok, this should have been updated to either "123" on your first log-in, then to a number beginning +44783833...
Once you've made a few skype calls you should see that your credit / call-time balance / data allowance does NOT decrease.

If anyone has any luck getting the V5 Java Live Messenger client running on windows mobile then please post, or even better would be configuring the normal live client to use 3's free service.
EDIT
I'm attaching the WLM V5 .jad and .jar files.
These are unmodified, and downloaded using the N95 user agent in the previous post. Maybe someone knows what they are doing to modify the .jad and get it working.

if so: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538306
My post has an Alpha/Beta that needs testing for Android.
upon request it was re-instated, there is an official version out there but i didnt get it to work properly, so i grabbed the original Iskoot for Android (non 3 version) and modified it slightly to incorporate the 3 uk settings

An excellent application if you don’t want to keep saying “Yes, allow NET access”
Thanks to the people who provided this.

Hi, can I somehow set ebuddy to the same settings and use it for free like windows live on 3 network?
I'm gong to share my favorite applications/games for the Kaiser. Some tips may be thrown in as well!
Applications:
Memory Map weather radar
Just what it says, fast loading animated weather radar. With zoom support and location settings.
BTSpammer
This little program will send out vcards, images, or text messages to any device in range. It is VERY useful for walking around the mall to send bogus messages such as: Welcome to our store! Please note that while in our store it is policy to record phone calls, sms messages, and contact lists while you are on our property to help deter theft. If you do not agree with this policy please see a store manager or leave at once. Thank you for your compliance, store management.
WiFiFofum
Best damn ppc wardriving tool out there! Honestly, the only way my laptop could beat this app is to have a external GPS unit. I keep it on while I'm in the car to find exciting locations around the city. I recommend exporting to memory card in a folder than merging files as you go along. upload the results to a wardriving map so others can benefit on your findings.
Tilt keyboard fix
Does what it says. Fixes hardware keyboard assignments for custom roms. No more will I have to guess where ! is at
Resco Keyboard
I love this keyboard! I can use it with my fingers if need be. My only gripe is that the . @ and other common punctuation marks are in the number page. It drives me crazy to switch between numbers and letters so I installed a new skin in the included skin downloader.
Resco File Explorer
This comes in major use on a day to day basis for me. It can browse network shares, do FTP, and modify my registry. Not only does it have a touch friendly interface option, I find it much more useful than touch commander for most tasks. Built in search is fast and you can populate the window with results for mass selecting and modifying.
Sprite Backup
I use this backup program (from the makers of norton ghost) between ROM upgrades. It is so good that if you don't configure your restore properly you run the risk of reverting changes made in that new rom release to the one you upgraded from. Nothing outside ROM is safe from this monster, I have had no issues with multiple backups and restores
Safemode
There is a program for ppc called safemode. What is does it lets you go into a limited shell (accessible from splash screen) to remove applications, browse folders, modify the registry, and some more. Why run the risk of having to hard reset when you can just remove that today plugin that's making it fail I hate having to reinstall everything over again, now you don't have to.
Magi Call 2
I use this program a lot more than I will ever know since it runs in the background with a nice GUI for configuring it. Don't want someone calling you? Block em! Want to create custom rules for sms and phone numbers? MagiCall it! I found out about this little program when a ex girlfriend would not leave me alone. Now I have all sorts of telemarketers and spam blocked. Owning a Kaiser for any reason would be the addition of this program! Every phone should have it! (might want to try callfirewall. free and it is also a nice program fro here at XDA!).
Opera Mini
Sure Opera mobile and skyfire is great for media rich web surfing but I hate waiting for pages to load. If I need flash, I'll start up my Nokia N810 or netbook. Very very unbelievably fast while still retaining my loved feature of double click zooming. Comes with a option to sync with your desktop version of Opera. Have not tried that out yet.
nueGPSSecurity
I don't know how many times I have lost my phone in my house and this free program has saved me! I just send a sms to my phone via e-mail and the alarm will go off giving me a beacon to save the Kaiser. It's also good for remote tracking if your phone gets stolen and other features but I have not tried these yet since my phone has not been stolen.
S2U2 (slide to unlock 2)
I don't use the unlock function very much like other people do (you know, to check the time, I wear a solar powered atomic watch), instead I love the slide to answer function. I no longer fear answering my phone my accident because it is in my holster or pocket. Something that looks cool and is functional.
Newsflash RSS reader
Siimply the best RSS and podcast reader on the planet for my uses. Sure, the included RSS reader is fine and all but I listen to a lot of RSS based podcasts. This will also work for video podcasts. How it works is it saves the mp3s and mp4s (or any other supported format) to a folder you setup in the settings and let it rip! I run it in the background at startup and use manila's media page to listen/watch my feeds. This functionality should of been made in the phone.
To manage all of these applications I simply turn on "view hidden files and folders" and go to my device on my PC, then in the "windows/start menu/programs" folder I categorize all my apps into folders. This way, when I go into programs, i don't have to search forever to find a program. TIP! Make a favorite in windows explorer of the start menu folder. Having to go into windows then your start menu folder takes forever for the file list in /windows to load. You will have one click access to where you want to go.
I may of missed some but check out my application install list!

It does not go slow with so many apps as others believe. After all, what is installed doesn't slow anything down, it's what's running that does.
Thanks, I will take a look at your list and try a few what's new for me.

WiFiFofum
Best damn ppc wardriving tool out there! Honestly, the only way my laptop could beat this app is to have a external GPS unit. I keep it on while I'm in the car to find exciting locations around the city. I recommend exporting to memory card in a folder than merging files as you go along. upload the results to a wardriving map so others can benefit on your findings.

I guess you mean "Navizon" not WiFiFoFum or not?
I agree with a couple of those.
I've found that I'm increasingly dependant on Kinoma for news and music. If you haven't tried it out, look it up on Google. They have a free version which allows you to listen to shoutcast, youtube videos, news broadcasts and such, The $30 version allows you to listen to 1,000s of live broadcast radio stations and watch live tv streams and more. Most stations on shoutcast stream at 96-128kbps and they connect and stream very well over 3G / HSDPA
Also, WMWiFiRouter is essential for me so I can share my connection with my laptop, other PDAs, and other people that are around me.
I use Barcorama when I'm shopping sometimes to look up the best prices, pretty quick usually.
GRemote lets me control my laptop when I hook it up to my big screen in my bedroom without having to have a gigantic wireless keyboard.
Google maps and Live Search are also essential, each having their distinct advantages (Street View and routes in Gmaps and speech recognition and gas prices in Live Search) Both use GPS very quickly.
QuickGPS updater. Simple. Get it.
MyMobiler... omg.. that app is such a lifesaver. I have a lot of devices and the last thing I need to do is have my phone in the middle of my desktop. I can plug it into the USB port and put it behind my laptop and forget about the actual device. Paired with my BT headset, I can do everything without losing the multitasking I so love.
RSS Hub is a great one too. My wife loves it too because I'm spending as much time on blogs at home anymore.
SKYFIRE and OPERA 9.5 Best mobile browsers out there. I have used Opera Mini, but I found it to be a bit quirky and I don't really have an issue with speed since my network in this area is typically about 1MB down and 500k up.
TOMTOM7 ... 'nuff said. Best nav out there. Now with speed notifications and HOV lanes
Remote Desktop. Great tool for when I'm not at my PC to do simple tasks, also good for managing my TED install so I can make sure I get all my tv shows
Ah, and Fring. Which leads me to ask, is there a plugin for fring, or an app for winmo that does facebook chat?
great apps
i already had some of them. I tried resco keyboard and im practically hooked now.
^^^Gremote is pretty amazing too!
imho newest spb keyboard (4.1.0) is waaaaaaaaaay better than resco's.
don't want to hijack thread, but I also luv: coreplayer, s2v, nebopad and total commander
most of them are quite well known and nebopad is the BEST notepad app on ppc.
thank You for Your attention. goodbye..

Surely not better than Phatnotes?
Resco Explorer 2008
Total Commander (Always useful for copying over ROM files)
Resco Registry Editor
CorePlayer (i.m.o best video player)
PocketPlayer (i.m.o best audio player also shoutcast)
WVD (Handy for downloading the video as streaming can sometimes be a nightmare)
Opera Mini as only slow network speed
Opera v9.5
Skyfire
SU2U
SKTools (Handy for sorting out startup items and cleaning)
Mundu IM
Calendar Touch (Transfer from smartphone so wanted to keep same software)
Mobiion MagiCall
pTravelAlarm (Wouldn't get up in the morning without it)
SmartGear MAME
nodata (Piece of mind over data charges)
MochaVNC (Keeps me in contact with home when out and about)
WiFiFoFum (Keeps data charges down )
MyMobiler (Very handy for screenshots)
Spb Backup (All i can say is where would i be without it)
PIM Backup
SecilWeather (Like more info than M2D gives me)

Could someone explain to me what it is that WiFiFoFum does (other than have a great name)? When I turn on Wifi, my phone automatically scans for Wifi networks as it is, so what is the difference with WiFiFoFum?
WiFiFoFum!!!!

WiFiFoFum(agreed, a great name) always you to scan all Wireless Access Points broadcasted, including certain vitals as to their SSID's, WEP enabled or not, and other techie goodies. Plus, you can enable GPS and create an actual map of WiFi Hotspots for you and your friends. It also has a radar feature that shows WAPs in reference to you (I think it's just more for fun than practicality).
Also, I have never been able to get Barcorama to work on my phone. I have it installed with the netcf, but when i load the program and press the camera button, the whole thing craps out. even when i take a picture seperately and try to open it with barcorama it craps out. very frustrating cause it looks like it would be fun.
Sounds interesting - I'll give it a try. Thanks

For Facebook chat you might want to look over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455263 Not tested myself, but know of it!
A useful post - seen some apps I didn't know about so will take a look. Will add my list another time when I'm not half asleep!

Go to the settings for barcorama and check Live Scanning and Use Autofocus. Eliminates opening the camera and the whole clicking the shutter - i.e. inducing shaking. Just hold it over the barcode and it automatically detects it. Sweet program.

Hi,
No need to upload them again, there are many times on the the web or on this board, just need to search a little!

Does anyone have a working version of QuickGPS I can grab please? I tried the one in the Polaris thread but that wont install on my Kaiser...
Thanks
SPB Mobile Shell - Still the best and easiest to navigate today replacement
SPB Phone Suite - The ability to have the phone switch on and off automatically at set times is a godsend. I only have to charge every 5 days or so!
