dialDTMF for Pocket PC
"I wrote this because I'm lazy, manual dialing is a chore, speed dialing isn't an option unless you are in one place and can program that phone. I have to lookup the number in my PDA anyway so why not make the PDA go the extra mile?"
The result is dialDTMF, a free little plug-in for Contacts that lets you use a Pocket PC as a dialer for landline phones. I remember the old days when you could get little accessories to dial common numbers for you; this is not nearly as common nowadays, but some of you may find it to be a useful niche if you're frequently transcribing numbers from the Pocket PC. (Me, I'll probably stick to Phone Edition.  )

That is a seriously thorough information page! I've never yet seen a PPC software author take that much trouble to cover every single aspect of their program's use. Well done!
But... I'll stick with IliumSoftware's old (no longer available or supported) PhoneTone. No regedits. Nice tap&hold context menu launching from Contacts, and easily configured within the simple GUI. Dials my phone at least a few times every day. If only it'd dial my mobile .. where seeking contacts takes far too long compared to a PPC

THANK YOU! 
I had a program like this for my Casiopeia and have been waiting for someone to come up with a working version since. This is GREAT!
