With friends like those, I wonder who the real programmers are behind SBSH... ;)

Just downloaded and installed it on my i-mate K-JAM. In a word: brilliant!

Especially the new d-pad dial capability, I can see that being very handy. Given this is a free upgrade to existing users, what can I say? Brilliant!

Yep, just loaded it on my K-JAM also. CB goes a long way in bringing awesome one-handed functionality to WM5 phone devices.

I still can't say much, but those of you that enjoy one hand operation using the D-Pad features will be extremely happy to see one of the new features that we are now working on for one of the upcoming free PocketBreeze updates :D

I hope we will have what we are working on ready for release pretty soon :)

Amit,

I loaded both applications on my Dopod 900. They look great!

Only comment I'd like to make is the short trial period offered. 12 days for PocketBreeze and 6 days for ContactBreeze is way below industry averages. I normally try and use an application for about a month before I reach a final decision. Any chance to extend these trial periods?

Regards

[Nurhisham Hussein]

Are you sure about that? Most trials I've seen typically reach only 14 days.

[Sven Johannsen]

At $5 for CB and under $15 for the pair of PB and CB together, I don't see it taking you more than an hour to know you want to keep these. They are without a doubt the most useful, and used, things on my PPC. Before them it was task switchers, but since them I hardly have to leave the Today page to get 90% of what I need accomplished.

Thank you for releasing it, now I won't get so many emails telling me there is a bug in my PB skins when it comes to ContactBreeze. ;)

Hi k_kirk :)

Since both applications are priced pretty low compared to the market average, I believe that a trial between 12 to 14 days is pretty good, and I really think that users usually can give a really good trial for a software, especially like Pocket/ContcatBreeze that are used all the time, in a 12 days period.

How agree with you that we should change the trial period for ContcatBreeze to 12 days, just like with did for PocketBreeze with the last version released (the trial also used to be 6 days :/ ) so I will be sure to do it ASAP with the upcoming ContcatBreeze update (probably will be 1.2.01) that we hope to release pretty soon :)

And our support team will now have a better answer to give users that email us asking when WM5 support will be added to ContcatBreeze now that it was released :D

LOL. I was already about to believe everything when I read "Jim Carry". :D

Nice piece of software! Congrats!

Quick question for the developers:

Which PocketBreeze theme is that? I thought it was Juni's SWDeluxe theme, so I loaded it, but the icons in the top bar are different.

Hi ctmagnus :)

I'm using Juni's SBSHDeluxe suite, which is a 'smaller' version of the SWDeluxe suite, designed only for the SBSH+LakeridgeSoftware software pack.

You can check it here:

http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&amp;productId=176542

As much as I know, I think that you can also receive this package if you are registered the SWDeluxe in the past, since both include almost the same skin files, with exception of the top bar icons, as you mentioned.l

You can try and email Juni's support email and see if this is possible since I'm not sure about it :roll:

[Pixelnose]

Oh no we're going to get flooded with emails! :oops:

For the record, there is no crossgrade policy between the two skin suites. They are seperate. Sbshdeluxe only includes skins for Wisbar, today, and sbsh products. It includes an extra theme not in the Swdeluxe pack and a modified Wisbar skin.

Swdeluxe has support for more programs, including iLauncher and non-extended theme support.

As such, Juni made the choice to make theme seperate products. Customers may choose which skin suite most suits their needs. :)

A small version of SWDeluxe was much requested, but to make it more fun I also made it a little bit different. :)

[amitregev]

I'm sorry for the confusion :oops: I wasn't sure about that.
