damn at first blush this app is pretty darn sweet. i'm a die-hard Papyrus fan/user but this may just give it a run for its money (though the SBSH team will always get my bias so i'm def not ready to jump ship anytime soon)... i especially love the "new" task/appt dialogue... real, real easy to enter w/ one hand (this is one area i think it has Papyrus trumped pretty handily).

I'm excited to try this when I get home. I like papyrus but the month view doesn't look so great on my Dash. Has anyone tried it on a Dash or Q? How does it look?

i'm actually using this on a t-mo dash. the more i play w/ it the more i like it. the entire app just has a VERY well made feel to it. the search feature really kicks a$$ too. everything seems SUPER easy to do w/ one hand so far (which i really like). hell you can even update the app FROM YOUR PHONE (we've had this "feature" in apps on our PC for so long now i'm spoiled by it and happy to see it finally making its way to WM).

PS - the "month" view looks great on the dash and has a really cool "preview" section to the right of the calendar. if you highlight a day you see the appts/tasks over there... i have to admit this is the first time i've ever seen a month view that i thought was actually useful (ever). you'll like this view me thinks.

Hey guys & gals,

I had installed for a couple of hours on my T-Mo Dash, and I must say it's definitely going to get SBSH back to the drawing board. I actually had Papyrus loaded on my phone, and was ready to shell out some $$ when I stumble upon this software. The interface is great, graphics is awesome, love it.

Oh, one problem/issue I'm having is searching contacts. Somehow, no matter what text input I choose on the option tab, I still get a funky result when hitting the button with numbers on it.

fox example:

I hit "A" which is also the "#", then the "A" won't show, but takes me somewhere else. I believe "#" goes to the end of the list or front. I hit ALT, but still no go. Sad

Actually, all the keys with numbers on it seems to act differently in contact view seach. Someone else having this problem? This is pretty much my only complain I'm having right now.

Thanks!

I am having teh same problems with searching for contacts. Once I start typing it takes forever to show results. When the results do appear, they are wrong.

This program runs extremely slow on my T-Mobile Dash. After watching the twirly windows 'wait' thing for 30 seconds, I gave up on looking at a monthly calendar view.

The contact section isn't a replacement for the built in contact app, it's a layer on top of it. The contact pictures on the left do not correspond to the contact listing on the right which makes the list and pictures look mismatched -- eventually it becomes apparent that you scroll each list separately -- an odd design choice. It's an unnecessary use of system resources, and this app uses a lot of them. If you're going to do contacts, do them completely and give me a contact screen that shows primary info all in one screen instead of scrolling down -- i.e.: more of a business card display with additional details still scrollable.

The program is very slow and way behind Papyrus in functionality, speed and utilization of system resources.

Are others noticing that it is slow?

Wow - this is impressive. It's a LOT faster than Papyrus. I'm hoping they have an upgrade path for existing PowerTasks/Calendar users, since they stopped updating those apps a while ago.
