Default phoneAlarm 2.0 Released - Profiles As They Should Be

http://pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html

"phoneAlarm is a Today screen plugin - giving you total control over your Pocket PC Phone. Never miss an important call, SMS or Email again. Automatically switch profiles and quickly access Inbox, call history and control the state of bluetooth directly from the Today screen. Optimised for one-handed and in-car use."

phoneAlarm is what phone profiles should be - fully customizable and with a plethora of options to make your phone behave as it should. I personally love the ability to change profiles based on the appointment category. When in full schedule swing (during the fall and spring), I have many appointments that require different profile settings. When I'm going to a seminar, I want the phone muted (So I have a "Mute Phone" category), however when I'm teaching, vibrating alarms are better, so I can be sneaky and check messages during a pause in my lecture. Head on over and check out the new version - I plan on doing so myself within the next few weeks!

I realize this a new version, but has anyone compared this with SPB phone suite? I'm currently trying out SPB phone suite and so far I like it. I've never tried PhoneAlarm but my impression is that its profile support has more features and is more customizable, although the look of their today plugin has always turned me off. (I don't like any of the skins they advertise either) I'll definitely have to try it out though before my SPB trial period expires.

Hi,

There are over 50 skins on the website - and if you check out the skinning forum there are some 1000+ skins and variations now posted

v2.0 now supports much improved alpha-blending and dozens of new features (including analog clock) and some of the new skins such as "Favor8" and "AllRocks Manilla" take full advantage of this.

cheers
