This only works for unlocked phones, so it won't work on the Verizon Samsung i600.

:oops: forgot to mention that it was for unlocked phones. On the bright side, they use the word "currently" so with any luck it might be available for all phones in the near future.

I wish i had read that on the web site before i hurried up and bought it. Now i'm stuck. :(

What frosts me is that the beta ran fine on the i600!!

Handango has a Firm policy that they will not refund if there is a trial version available. I have also been burned an dthus test Everything before I buy.

I feel your pain,

I was dumb. I thought because the beta worked the release would too.

Hi,

We are currently undergoing the signing process with a number of smartphone providers, and are waiting for their responses. So it's a bit hard to predict how long it will be - possibly within 2-4 weeks, though that is just a guess. We will announce when new versions are available. Thanks for your interest in our software.
Cheers,
Thomas
Sprite Software

Hopefully soon :)

[Mike Temporale]

any chance they are willing to provide the signed version to you so you don't have to re-purchase it?

[Jerry Raia]

Right before i posted the above I sent him a message asking just that very question. I'll let you know what I get back. I sure hope so :(

I just found out today that the version for the i600 may be available as early as monday may 3rd. They will give me a key for the new version :D
