Here you go!
Looks useful. Very quick to load and easy to use. Though I love PocketCM, it sometimes gets frustrating trying to select a contact.
Is the attached cab file a demo?

The cab on - is fully functional, but time-limited.
The cab I posted is straight from the above website.
I really like this software, but I cannot find anywhere on your site to buy a license.

Though I was expecting it to be about $10 when released, if you actually use it, and compare it to what's around, you'll find it's worth every penny/pence/shilling/etc of the amount now being charged.
And I don't even use the GPS function. The "contact search and use" function kicks all others out there arses IMO. And then factor in its speed and very small memory footprint, and you have what some consider the best custom WM app of the year.
Is the cab a trial so we can test it 1st and for how many days? Thanks.

Because the author has turned greedy and is using this post as free advertising instead of paying for a spot on xda-developers like all the other ADVERTISERS of commercial software do.
Your website does not display option 5 (Purchase) in FireFox which is why I couldn't find it.
$14.99 for this app? ahahaahaa
VGA ??
Quite expensive for an app without VGA-Support
Compare it e.g. with the VITO-App (link below, $9.95) or PocketCM (free)

For Jahnotto - it is all about making profit !!
Well, her is the cab file for version 1.00 beta 2 - from the time when it was a non-profit projekt, and it deserved its place on "Development and Hacking".
After beta 2, came the beta 3 - that supposedly also was just an improvement in the GPS area. But after installing it, a new change have been added - because suddenly a new menu appears with "Manage license".
So one take advantage of all the alpha, and beta testers - for the sole purpose of profit.
My comment:
At first, this started out as a hobby project. I intended to make a better contact app for myself and posted about it here on xda-developers. It turned out that lots of people loved it, and thus I spent far more time than expected on doing development.
As I spent more and more time, I decided to charge a modest sum for it. You can hardly get a meal for $14.99. That way, I can defend spending even more time on making it even better.
If you don't like it, don't use it. If it's too expensive for you, don't buy it. But please respect my time, my efforts and don't spread beta versions with bugs in it. You're just making problems for those who are using it. It's a reason why there were two more betas after beta 2.
Beta 2 works great.
Guys and gals,
This year’s Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine Best Software Awards ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/awards/ ) is getting near. I, being the Nominations Manager for the Awards, would like to invite you ALL to participate in it, regardless of whether you’re a developer or “just” a user of them.
If you’re a developer, it’d be REALLY great if you could enter the apps you’ve written in the Smartphone & PPCMag Encyclopedia ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_enc/cat.asp?cat=2&name=Software ; you can add new entries there too). It’s free and, then, in addition to your having your app listed in the list, it’ll be far easier for me to nominate it for the Awards if I deem it worthy enough. In the last two years, I spent DAYS of chasing down developers of top (freeware) titles like Qmail and Pocket GBA in order to being able to nominate them. I would prefer NOT having to waste so much time at contacting developers this year and asking them to enter their titles in the Encyclopedia – I have better and more productive things to do.
Being listed in the Encyclopedia, your stuff will also get far more exposure outside XDA-Devs and other “geek” sites as well.
Just like with last year, don’t think a free app can’t compete with commercial stuff out there. For example, VITO CopyPaste, Opera Mini, fring, Emu42, Google Maps Mobile, Orb, Qmail, My Mobiler, Mobipocket Reader, PHM Plus!, FuseSP etc. were all finalists, GB-SOFT Tweak, CastCE, Emu48, ScummVM, LogMeIn (Free), most of masterall’s emulators etc. were winners. Top-notch freeware titles like Dotfred’s PIM Backup or TaskMgr or Vijay555’s VJFullscreenTSC were also nominated (albeit didn’t win / become a finalist because of the very strong competition in the same category).
If you’re “just” a user of these apps, you’re also VERY strongly asked to nominate your favorites, should they not already be nominated. As a rule of thumb, all of the last year’s nominated titles are automatically re-nominated, unless there’re radical changes – for example, new titles – in the given category necessitating the un-nomination of the (comparatively) weakest titles OR the given title hasn’t been discontinued in the meantime. You can see the list of these apps – that is, the 2007 nominees / finalists / winners – at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/awards/category_all_2007_newquery.asp .
I don’t want to leave any decent, new utility I may have overlooked not nominated. With the current rate new apps and tools are released here at XDA-Devs, I just can’t keep up with all the new versions / releases, no matter how hard I try. (And I have a LOT of other things to do – for example, I’m working on a Digital TV and CDMA Bible, concentrating on a lot of EE stuff and also preparing a major speech at a W3C conference on mobile Web browsers, leaving me little time testing all the new XDA-Devs-originating stuff.)
(Also see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=300200 for my 2007 announcement – it’s a bit outdated tough.)
Remarks / comments / recommendations are welcome!
Awesome. I'm excited about this. These awards always help me find new/interesting titles to toy with.
Apart from what's on your list already, and in terms of eloquence and overall usefulness, I love the PocketCM Keyboard, and I use it all the time. In terms of functionality, I like that new Internet Connection Sharing Control (http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/377047/) program. It's still in development, but the idea of it is great: finally an all-in-one utility for handling all of the various Internet sharing configurations. As far as I know, it's also the first program to let a user use their phone as a wifi adapter.
I personally think that Schaps Advanced Config is the most usefull program for what I do, but I'm not entirely sure what kind of programs are within the scopes of this...
+1 l3v5y
And for the best suite of programs, A_Cs S2 series win every time although they're not the most innovative programs in that they are just trying to copy the iPhone....
Hi Everyone,
I need to add a few points to Werner's (Menneisyys) post. (I am the owner of Smartphone and Pocket PC magazine and in charge of the awards).
First, as you might have guessed, the quality of our category structure and to a large extent the nominees is directly due to Werner's incredible efforts.
I asked Werner to get started ASAP, and his response naturally was to post here. However, as you will see we aren't as ready as we might be.
At www.PocketPCmag.com are in the middle of a conversion of data from our current rich but hodgepodge of a site, mostly written in ASP. We are moving to a cleaner, more uniform look using the Drupal Content Management System.
Because of timing, we decided to do the awards and leave the encyclopedia of software and accesssories in our current (ASP) system for now. Then probably when nominations are frozen in July we'll switch over.
However, we REALLY need to update the input form for vendors.
It looks like we'll have to do that in ASP. We are juggling a lot, and we can't commit to updating the form until at the latest, May 1.
So, the ideal from Werner and my side, would be to at least make sure your products are in the db now. Then everyone can update their information as soon as I give the OK here.
THANKS and good luck.

Nothing comes near.
Thanks guys for the feedback.
I've (being the author of several networking & hacking-related tutorials & hacks) already played a bit with CSC but still haven't had the time to test it in all possible configurations / on all my WinMo devices. Will definitely post a detailed review / evaluation on it and also nominate it for this year's Awards. (Preparing for a W3C speech, in addition to preparing my next Bibles, takes a LOT of time and work so I can't really test new software right now...)
BTW, at the General forum, there's a Dev Awards thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2100268 ); I'm thinking of in some way combining it with the Smartphone Mag awards structure before May.
BTW 2, speaking of last year's nominees and categories, feel free to comment on them too - what other titles would you see nominated? I prefer open discussions like this to PPCMag's (closed) user nomination system because a lot of people can chime in the discussion, making the nomination process as democratic as possible. (While, of course, I reserve the right to have the final word in nomination ).
Yeah A_C's programs are sooooo awesome!
Besides already mentioned pprgrams, i'd also add MortButtons and ThumbCal (still a beta, but already usable) to nominated applications.
Also, Mollusk's great (mostly free) games sure deserve a nomination (www.xFlib.net)
S2U2, S2V, S2P by A_C +1 for those, and I'd like to add Emunutz for his HTC HomeCustomizer and Chi Tai Dang for Battery Status
I would like to nominate Slither2006's SCLPC++ cube. It is a fantasticly useful tool in its present form and with the changes that he has stated will be in the next version, I really think that it deserves consideration. It may just be a retrofit for older PDA's, but for the vast amount of older models out there, it gives a new lease on life.
Hi,
for me....

Yup, BatteryStatus was one of the apps last year I specifically contacted the author of to be able to nominate his app - a really excellent one!
Thanks for the other suggestions.

Wowz! Thanks for mentioning them! I think I'll write a dedicated article on them - I love small "retro" games like these. (Ever seen N.I.'s Retro Games pack?)

Sorry, after this day my themes are no longer available.
I wish all users a merry christmas and a happy new year.

Great Stuff Thanks!
Keep up the good work!
I´ve attached a new theme: Wild West. Download look Post 4.
Neo...you said they're available in cabs?..
They look fantastic man, amazing job, I just have this problem though...
While copying the pirate files @ the windows dir, I got a low mem msg @ 95%...
Now the damn message keeps popping up, how do I delete all these files?.. manually?
Where could I find those cabs you mention?
- oh well...fixed it Nice work, the only thing I didn't really like was the choice of backgrounds. Otherwise, a pretty good job

To all downloaders....My themes were downloaded together more than 3000 times (i know...many other themes more), but almost no comments. Only, if something goes wrong.
I would regret if the contribution would disappear - no comments, and at the 2nd day it´s on the 10th side of this thread and the other users never get an information about these themes.
Also it would be good to get information about some experiences you made. It´s a hard work, over 10, sometimes over 20 hours from the skinners to make their themes, but only a little effort, to post a critic after testing, doesn´t matter if positive or negative.
the only negative thing i can think of is ... copyrighted materials being used...
like trademarks and pictures ,
for the rest it looks nice

You´re right...but i don´t get any money for making this...it´s only fun. Here in the threads are the most things on a border to this question...Rom Cooking, working on _manilas and more. Noone makes official programs/ themes like these. And the most graphics i renewed, styled in another way as the originals and some are real new, made with graphic programs by myself. Excample: To cut the spider of the spiderman-logo, takes one hour of my time. And for the web i copied it out of 1 frame from the beginning of the film and edited this original web, so that you can see it on the little display. This theme takes over 20 hours, until it was ready. I try, to make these things as perfect, as i can.
Here in the threads we try to make the device more beautiful or more functional.... the manufacturer has less ideas and interests to this things. Maybe, it´s too much work and not so much to earn?! Or do you see somewhere programs, like you find here?
And it´s a good marketing for this people. If you have a theme like these or a better program, you have more identification with the diamond, with windows mobile, with film industry...you show, you are a fan of Pirates and make a little monument for it, and so on.
If I would sell these themes or get a donation for them it´s a step to far (for me), but to make it for fun without any financial interests.... who wants to see a theme with a pic of my father or me on his/her phone
Edit: I have a photo of me on the 1st bootscreen...if the phone was stolen, to rile the thieves. They were remembered to me every soft reset ;-)
thanks
Hi.. Your themes are great . Especially pirates of the carebian.
It would be great if you have terminator theme...
thanks for the immediate response man, I found a background
You posted some cool ones though
Thanks again for the theme

i agree but most of those companies do have nasty lawyers thats all,
but if we are talking about ideas.... for new things ..
how about an Amiga theme and make the diamond screen look like some workbench screen .and kickstart like it was on the amiga 1000
here are some old screens : http://www.gregdonner.org/workbench/wb_10.html
It would be nothing, what i would like to see on my diamond...maybe it´s interesting for other skinners.
But i thank you for your tip... i´m not angry ´bout this. I know, that some companies like to bring people to the court. Hope, that they see here, that it´s fun and support a positive image for the films and not with the reason, to harm them.
Hi!
You did a great job with these themes.
My question is: can I install the themes on any version of ROM? I use 1.93.
Thank you.
I use also 1.93 and it works. The cabs have been downloaded very often since the last days and no problems reported. I hope, it all wents okay. In every cab are only the graphic files, tsk, sometimes rings. No system files.
Hi, thanx so much for these themes, they're are fabulous. I love the Pirates theme, one thing is you don't include calendar and connecion tab to your theme any more. Thanx for all what you have done.
Hope for more beautiful themes.
Keep holding on
For all the fellow Fallout-3 fans out there that have wanted their very own pip-boy without the accompanying post-nuclear holocaust... well...it looks like you will have to wait for the holocaust... the lawyers of the game have demanded that I remove my skin from this website.The theme was originally available for free from this XDA-Developers site as well as from www.throttlelauncher.com however, in compliance with the developers of the game, all my files have been deleted. I take no responsibility for those who obtained my free theme before it was deleted from this website, and who have since reposted links to the theme within this thread (#122) and at other wm freeware websites as it is completely out of my control.
For those unhappy with Bethesda's decision may wish to e-mail them.

100/100 Great THEME
And they give you the tools to do it.
http://blog.vitotechnology.com/?p=78
So get your skin included in their next release.
Before people jump on this, since the link includes tools previously unavailable for creating skins for Winterface, I felt this fell under Development. If you don't agree, move it.
Contest: Winners Announcement!

It seems they are building cab files for the themes to be installed.
less people use.
bad tools.
