Default No usage tracker?!?

Just got a AudioVox SMT5600 - my first introduction to the world of the SmartPhone. I must admit that I've been a little surprised that I haven't been able to locate a phone-usage tracker - an application that I thought would have had an obvious market on a SmartPhone!

I should qualify that, I guess. I gather there is one called iMeter, but I couldn't get it to work on my phone, possibly because I first installed version 1.0d, which is apparently incompatible with the IA Caller ID program that comes preinstaled on the SMT5600. Uninstalling and then installing iMeter 1.0b didn't work either, not even with the registry entries and program directory manually deleted after the uninstall and before the reinstall.

There is also SPB's GPRS Monitor program, but I'm looking for an application that will track all my call data, and, unlike the built-in call timers, allow me to filter out certain numbers (most of my calls are to/from my wife, which are free calls on our cell-phone plan, so don't count against our total minutes).

The closest thing I've found to a solution to this has been PocketCafe's MyCallLogs, an application that allows me to export my call logs to my desktop and then manipulate the data, but I'd rather have something that would work right on my SmartPhone - preferably extensively customizable...

Anyone know of an application out there that does this that I might have missed? Or any enterprising developers out there want to fill this gaping hole in the market?

Well, I'm not aware of such an app, but most carriers let you check your minutes right from the phone. On T-Mobile, you punch in #646#, hit send, and it responds with your used minutes.

I'm with Rogers (in Canada), and, as far as I know, they don't offer such a feature. Wish they did!
