Check out the <a href="http://www.pocketmax.net/paLite_Compare.htm">comparison chart</a> to learn the differences. With a price difference of €2, you have to wonder if the Lite version is even worthy of consideration, especially since there's no upgrade offer if you choose to jump to the full phoneAlarm version later on. What do you think?

I've used PhoneAlarm since it was in early beta (alpha?) stages, and consider it a true "killer app" for my pdaphone. I have the full version, which has a ton of features. Many people asked for a "lite" version, with a smaller footprint and one-handed use. Bruce, always willing to listen, obliged with this version.

I agree that there are not many differences, and I only really use the options available in lite. One thing is that some people have trouble with the full version on their device (many of the i730 owners who (ahem :wink: ) upgraded to WM5 have had issues with the full version) and have done better with the lite. I have an i730 with 2003SE, and the full version runs great for me.

I love this program and highly recommend it to anyone. You do have to take the time to play with the settings, but once you get it where you want it--you won't be able to live without it.

Hmm... There are features that the lite version has, yet the full version does not have. That's a twist. ;)
