Grand Central Dialer - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Does anyone know of a grand central dialer program for windows mobile? The idea being that if you place voip calls from grand central, you can get free calls.
Let's say you have your mobile, a gizmo project account, and a grand central account. Placing outbound calls from your gizmo account (via a SIP application on your phone) will incur charges. However, if you add your gizmo account as a phone number on your grand central profile, and place a call from grand central, it makes outbound calls to both the number you are calling from, and once connected, to the number you're calling out to.
I hope that makes sense.
I have found such a thing for nokia phones here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18802
But couldn't come up with anything for windows mobile. Seems like it wouldn't be a difficult app to write, and could give us all free voip outbound calls.

I have also been looking like crazy for one, it's very annoying to keep going to M.grandcentral.com to dial anybody, even though I set it as my home page...
could somebody make a dialer for Windows mobile,, pleazzzee

I'm really really in need of one of these. Wish someone would release something!

Heck, I wish they would re-open the ability to import contacts. I am sure this wouldn't be hard to do, as all the information is right at their mobile page.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge. Although I was more excited about the iPhone than your average person, I still haven't found any reason to switch over.
Sure the iPhone does everything it does BETTER than Windows Mobile, but it just doesn't do as much stuff. Besides that, every 3g iPhone I've played with is less stable than my old Palm - and that's saying something. Windows Mobile wins in a few areas - namely versatility and stability.
Besides that, the 3g iPhone is a generation ahead of any windows mobile phone right now. We're just going to have to wait a year before we start seeing a real competitor. Windows Mobile 7, anyone?
That said - I'd like someone to create that EXACT app for windows mobile. I dialer that integrates contacts. Something I can map my phone button to.
PLEASE!

The PERl Script that Grand dialer is based on
Hopefully someone else (As I am not a app author yet) may be able to do something with this:
http://groups.google.com/group/grandcentral-help-poweruser/browse_thread/thread/977c8c295edcf2e1
This is the Perl App that the Grand dialer app is based on. basically it married a dialer interface with the mentioned perl script to make the connection to Grand central. I am still reading and trying to understand the script, however there are many here much better at this then I. Hopefully someone can take this info and run.

I'm willing to offer any needed graphic services if a programmer could become interested.

I'm interested in doing this, and also integrating with iContact.

I'd like a grand central invite if they are even still allowing it . Then I would be interested in this also, lol.

I've started a dialer, iDialer.
Please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429984

Maybe you can create an application that is seperate from any dialer, many people like to keep their dialers.

Missing phone functions - no more!

I've been using PocketPC Phone Edition since the first XDA came out. Since then a lot of things has changed, devices gained more memory, became faster, smaller, adopted Bluetooth and WiFi. But one thing remain almost unchanged - phone dialer. It does serve the purpose, but a lot of things are missing and annoys avid cellphone user. You know what I am talking about
For me one of the biggest concern was absence of Calling Card support. I am communicating with our overseas officies couple of times a day on the regular basis and dialing all those numbers is really pain. So, while I was looking for calling card support add-on I came across this piece of software - MobiDial.
It's not a total phone dialer replacement, more like a shell for it. It does everyihng I want and excpect from a phone - calling card support, one hand operation, vibratouch, nice and clean interface.
Here how the main interface look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, all buttoms are big and nicely placed. Also, you can enable vibra option, so you can actually feel when buttom is pressed.
At the bottm you can see row of icons:
Settings, address book mode (see screenshot below), 4 strars represent speed dial windows where you can also assign pictures, and call log icon.
You can switch in between them by pressing jog left and right and scroll in address book mode by up and down.
As I've mentioned before, the biggest advantage for me is Calling Card support. Programm automaticaly dials International numbers without any users intervention. Actually, you can specify this in the settings: always use card, ask user and bever use it.
This is international call in progress:
Couple of things: current release version doesn't work correctly with Second Edition, but beta with SE support is available upon rewuest from developer. Also, first load takes about 5 sec, but then it pops up instantly, by the way, you can assign harware answer/hangup buttoms to MobiDial
You can try it for 14 days here:
http://www.mobidial.com/mD/
I've made a small video of using this software. DivX encoded, 950 KB.

P.S. I've posted the same review on HW, I am using a different alias there
HI. I had same concern of yours for a while, and I got great help from your topic. However, I'm stil lmissing one feature: The caller groups, allowing you to assign a ringtone to every group or individual caller. Combined with the Sendrui pocketzenphone application, you might not even look at the screen to know when to answer whom. Any advice?
Thanks in advance, and hope I can be of any help one time.
It looks like a adverstisment more than a complain.

RingtoneX does this nicely. I have all my contacts filed under Categories in Outlook (like Family, Friends, VIP, Business, etc.). RingtoneX lets me assign ringtones to each individual or by category. It works perfectly. Since you can create any category name you want it makes it real easy. (Only thing I've noticed is it didn't like spaces in my category names like "Friends 1", so I changed my category name to Friends_1 and now it works great).
Anyways, it's only $7 for the software, and it works very well.

For those too posh to push:
Do you like chatting with people you don’t know? Do you want to be able easily share multimedia files with your friends? Do you hate the cost of MMS? Well now you can do it all via BlueTooth ? Find your target, take aim and let Sniper do the rest! Sniper is a MoSoSo (Mobile Social Software) application designed to operate using BlueTooth. Using Sniper you can send/receive and reply to text messages from other BlueTooth equipped phones (including non Windows Mobile devices such as Nokias and Sony-Ericssons). Sniper also contains a BlueTooth scanner which will locate discoverable BlueTooth devices in your vicinity to start socializing with. Sniper will also allow you to transfer files between devices as well as messages. With just a few clicks you can designate folders (on the storage card if you wish) for Music, pictures or any kind of file. Sniper is skinnable and comes with a range of cool skins. More skins may be easily added. Sniper also includes a Bluejacking feature which means you can send files or messages to all devices within range at the same time. A useful feature for sending out Business cards at meetings! Since BlueTooth is short range 10-12 meters and does not use a Wireless carriers data network, all this messaging and data transfer is FREE

In all seriousness... Sniper is a pretty nice app. I would suggest to anyone to check it out... runs on my Wizard with no problems.

Name just one?
Sniper is not just a BlueTooth manager.
With it you can
1. Send/receive messages and have an inbox
2. Allows the use of preprepared msg templates and you can create your own new ones at the touch of a button.
3. Send/receive files (to your storage card if you wish) and specify default folders for different incoming file types
4. Store often used addresses in address book with friendly names
5. Scan for all devices in Range
6. Sniper, will on request, BlueJack all devices in range with a file or msg until you tell it to stop.
7. Talk to any other BlueTooth device, doesn't have to be windows mobile.
This is just a sample of what it does and it's less than a fiver
So, what is the better freeware alternative???

PS I should probably point out that I developed Sniper and cannot be held responsible for any bias you may perceive

Palm messaging clone

I recently got a Cingular 8525 and really want the threaded features that the Palm application seems to provide. I've looked around a little bit and found nothing compelling for free or for sale. Everything I've seen so far is bloated (.NET), buggy, or ugly. No offense intended.
I'm proficient in C++ and have written some PPC 2003 applications in the past so I'm going to roll my own program in my free time.
These may not all be possible but my goals for the first release are:
Plays nice with Pocket Outlook (messages and their state (new, read appear in both places)
Integration with Notifications (display message and launch application in the usual manner upon receipt of a message)
Integration with Contacts application
Proof of concept design (SMS only, minimalist interface)
I'll then post it and the source code and see what additions and visual enhancements poeple want most.
First:
All I've seen of the Palm application are some screenshots on engadget. Would someone with the Palm application be willing to send me a series of detailed screen shots showcasing their favorite UI features?
I can tell when a UI is done well and when an application looks good, but I'm no good at coming up with stuff myself.
I only ask about UI features now to help me architect things in a way to make help me more easily implement features people want later.​
Second:
Are any developers out there able to point me in the right direction for the Pocket Outlook and Contacts integration stuff? I'm currently reading a ton of documentation searching for this and a pointer might speed things up considerably.​
Finally:
If there's already an open project doing the same thing I'd rather improve that than make my own. Does anyone know of one?​
the official palm messaging app has been extracted and ppl have been working on getting it to play nice with most wm5 devices. check out:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/palm-threaded-sms-program-for-wm5-beta-4-update-11-21-t978.html
This is where all the action's going on. you can get a copy of the app by PM ing the ppl there. It works very well with the TyTN and interfaces very nicely.
anyone have any more screenshots of the palm messager? I'ld like to see it before i take the plunger
Take the plunger, lol...
Found these on another site. Remember tho, Palm has asked us not to distribute the app. Please respect their authority

...its good but the optimized implus I find better and not much of a battery drag.
Plus on custom roms, there are plenty of issues and development has stopped on wm
Uhm, this has been out for a long time. Furthermore, development on it has stopped, so there will be no new updates or bugfixes.

anybody here know a solution to add japanese, chinese, korean fonts?
PM me please

This is old. I can't believe you guys didn't know about this. This app. drains your battery too fast. I stick with Mundu
I wanted to introduce only one programme to you.
This Messenger is what I looked for, its simple have all features I need, and it does his work...
I used Fring, Palringo but this are programs for trash, Palringo have every 5-10 minutes reconnect problems, and Fring look cheap...
I didn't know what your problem with these software is...
its nice but it sucks at the same time bcuz you cant send files thats my problem
is this app free or is it a trial?
Free... I used it about 1 Month and it run fine...
ok great. I know it costs $15 for the iPhone though.
is there any similar program that kills less battery? If i leave this on, it drains my battery in about 4-5hrs in my att fuze

IMO i dont think youre looking for an android develroper . You're kinda looking for a person that can set up a windows exchange server . My dad does this kinda stuff . but hes not an android developer.
he knows how to setup a server for a business like this i thinkk

I'm sure he doesn't give a care what it is that someone is called or what job title someone needs to be called. He just needs it done. So if anyone can do this, let me know and we'll get things rolling.
Figured I'd hit the XDA forums first seeing has how you guys can do just about anything. He's giving it one more week, and then opening the job up to a firm. If you want the cash, respond.
