Well, saw this for a while ago, but kind of lost the use of it since the web-version of facebook does everything a user needs... So, why re-invent the wheel unless someone has a good idéa?
Something to sync the calendar on Facebook with the calendar on your WM phone? Or the contacts? Or upload all the images from your phone.
(Admittedly it would be fine just to sync them with outlook or an Exchange server, but not everyone uses those POS systems....).
Anyone got any other ideas?
im also loooking forward for a Windows app as i cant stay w/o fb for a long time

Hmm... might be a good idea - Anyone else who is interested in the topics mentioned above?
Don't have alot of time right now since the exam-periode is comming, but if I have time I might fix atleast the calendar and contact application But I'll post a reply in the thread if I'm up to it
Hey-
I was thinking of an idea but couldnt even begin to code it.
Something along the lines of full contact list integration. As in complete synching of contacts in phone with birthdays, addresses, etc. Complete integration with a contact manager so that you can view someones pics, write on their wall, etc without a browser, almost as if the data were stored in your phone. SMS like wall posts and messages and calendar synching. If anyone likes this idea and would like to work with me on it, I would be willing to make a photoshot mockup of what I am imagining to better get my point acreoo, but I think full and seamless browser-less integration would be amazing!
i use the Fonebook application to sync with outlook but I think a facebook program would be a great addition like adding events to my calendar, syncing photos with outlook, birthdays and whatever else. I think the mobile facebook experience would be improved with a program.

WOW...is no one making a facebook app? It would seriously be the icing on the cake for WM. Someone contact me, and we can work on it together!
there is one i found called snap2face which allows you to browse pictures and save them to your device. its pretty basic and definitely needs some tweaking to speed up load times but for a beta its not too bad.
Bump....
So im working on something but it would really be nice if someone wanted to work on it with me. I think there is a lot of potential here.
any progress on this?
Not sure if this is possible.
But wouldn't it be great to sync the facebook phonebook with the cellphone . So that the facebook profile picture and number of your friends on facebook got synced with your diamond contacts?
Hi Killbox!
I've just investigated this one...
The FB API is VERY restricted, due to crawling/robot issues (I suppose) it's not possible to fetch the phone number or email address of neither your own profile or your friends' with the API.
Really takes away a lot of the edge with this kinda app.. One could parse the HTML for the phone number and OCR the email-image, but alot of detours for something that could've been soo easy!
If someone choose the HTML-parsing approach I suppose the legal staff at FB will be all over you in a blink, there's examples of similar apps experiencing that...
Pity...
Is it possible to just take just the profile picture to sync with your contacts list. While phone numbers and email addresses would be good you only have to really enter them once(usually) but an up to date picture of my contacts would be really good.
Whilst not exactly what you're looking for:

A program called OutSync develeoped my a MS Windows Mobile guy.
He got bollocked at one point for calling it Facesync due to the word 'Face' so he renamed it OutSync.
Basically it syncs your Facebook friends' photos with that of your Outlook contacts. Then, when you sync your device, voila, new photos.
Other than that, doesn't do much

Awesome thank you very much!
You could also try xobni, a plugin for Outlook which will sync your facebbook, skype etc contacts to Outlook.
WWW.xobni.com
You could try using Resco contact Manager. It does precisely what you are describing.
Hi all!
Just wanted to have your advise on what program to use to syncronize X1 with PC?
The reason I ask is that by syncing with Outlook I can sync only contacts and e-mails, cannot backup sms. Also, the way X1 saves contacts to Outlook is a bit weird. To cut the case - I don't like it.
I use MobilEdit to sync, yet it is quite good for contacts themselves, but still sucks with sms and doesn't fully support e-mails.
Also, in regards to syncing, does anybody know, why my phone constantly is changing name to WINDOWSMOBILEXX upon attaching data cable? Annoys really.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
This is all over the forum.
Jeyo make good software for what you ask for.
This is what I found. Doesn't seem to be enough info there. yet, I've found software for sms full backup here. OK, anybody else could advise anything on that?
Also, in regards to sync error name change to WINDWOSMOBILE I was unable to find any info, neither here, nor google... Please point me in right direction, but not the door

Thats ok for sms but no good for email
From the OP he/she said

so i though sms was an issue.
Also with backing up emails, i dont really know if any tool that can. But most emails are kept on the remote server, so its quite easy to re-download the messages from the server to restore the emails......
Is there an app like bluephoneelite for windows?
I want to be able to send messages and make calls using my pc. Is there something available?
dashwire
I dont know for the calls, but for messaging i use dashwire.
You install a client on the phone, and it backup all your sms, contacts, call logs to the cloud (internet server) an you can send message an manage contacts from there.
The nice thing, its a web app, so you can openit in any place. You have always your contacts and messaging backupd for an eventuality. And you dont have to connect the phone each time you want to send a message, the client on your phone automatic sync with your dashwire page.
The bad thing, it doesnt aloud calls, but i dont really care about that. And it use your data conection (or wifi).
Heres the link http://www.dashwire.com/
And this thread belongs to Q&A...
Thanks for the link gabiton.
I'm looking for something that works directly with the computer. Similar to bluephoneelite.
Guys, I have already had a good look through the threads here, and a good hoke thru the wiki, but couldn't find an answer to my question.
I have a blackstone running the XNOR 6.5.3 rom that I got from a friend when he upgraded his fone, I then unlocked it from Orange to O2, which works fine, but....recently Sense has been freezing my fone when I enable it.
I suppose what I am asking is, is there a way, aside from reflashing the rom, for me to get the fone back up to full working order, running sense, as I much prefer the GUI to the WM6 native interface.
I have a couple of sim and power fixes installed and enabled, but I am certain that these arent causing the issue as I have been using them from I got the fone on day 1.
If there is a way to sort this out without having to back everything up and save messages, calendar entries etc, I hope you all can give me the solution, as I really don't wanna have to go down the full reset route, as I cant really be offline as far as fone communications go. So in advance of your emparting of knowledge, I thank you and am much obliged.
Thanks
Have you consider intalling "microsoft myphone"? it can backup everything with ease, then you can do an hardreset, reinstall myphone and resync.
After that you will have, contact, calendar, sms, also documents again on your phone.
The whole procedure will take 10 min, of course depends on how many contacts, sms, mail etc. you have on your phone.
On my phone i have about 100 contact, about 200 calendar events, some documents and wallpapers, 10-20 sms the whole sync take me 2 minutes top.
Hope i'd help.
For the link, you can search it on google.
