Major (40%) multiplatform rebates at mobile2day.de – FlexMail 2007, RDM+ etc.

[Menneisyys]

The mobile2day.de folks have a (really decent!) tendency of offering some killer apps for around 40% rebate. This time (until 03/16), they also have some nice apps at a substantive rebate. Note that you only have slightly more than two days to purchase these titles – hurry up if you need them.

FlexMail 2007 Rev 2 (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_wince/produkt.html?id=151851): 15,95 € instead of 24,95 € - while a bit on the memory-hungry and slow-to-boot side, THE most powerful mailer client for Windows Mobile (both Pocket PC's and Smartphones); for example, it’s the only client to support flawless IMAP IDLE. Also, it’s WAAAAAAAAY better than the built-in MS Smartphone Messaging client. (Click the links to access the product page directly; then, just press “In den Warenkorb” to start the purchasing process.)

ProfiMail (Windows Mobile) 2.88 (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_wince/produkt.html?id=146166): 14,95 € instead of 21,99 € - a definitely less recommended mailer client for WinMo (both Pocket PC's and MS Smartphones). However, if you REALLY want to purchase it, now, this can be a great occasion. Also note that the Symbian S60 version (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_psion/produkt.html?id=128046) is also offered at the same price.

Note that the above two applications have been thoroughly discussed & compared in my Mailer Bible (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=569&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1).

RDM+: Remote Desktop for Windows Pocket PC 3.6.6 (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_wince/produkt.html?id=267911): 23,95 € instead of 39,30 € - a remote desktop controller for WM (Pocket PC's and Smartphones; official product page HERE (http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=rdm&platform=none)). A pretty new one; this is why it’s missing from my Remote Desktop Controller Bible (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1571&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1). I’ll soon publish a review of it; preferably before the end of the (massive) rebate.

Note that RDM+ is a multi-platform product; the BlackBerry version (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_blackberry/produkt.html?id=406081) costs 25,95 € instead of 40,45 € (I think I'll review this app REALLY quick so that I can decide whether I purchase it or not because I use my BlackBerry as my main communication device and it has no other (decent) remote desktop controller apps) and the Symbian S60 version (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_psion/produkt.html?id=122972) costs 18,95 € instead of 29,95 €. Note that, while RDM+ has an iPhone version as well, mobile2day.de doesn't have an iPhone section - that is, you can't get RDM+ for the iPhone from the German folks.

BTW, still speaking of Symbian S60, MobiSystems OfficeSuite 4 (S60 3rd) 4.50 (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_psion/produkt.html?id=267111) is offered for 23,95 € instead of 39,99 € - a pretty good deal, I'd say! And, if you have a Palm OS device (Treo 680 etc.), you will definitely want to check out the list of the rebates (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_palm/list.html?type=aktionen&limit=0,10) because you can get the following apps at a 40% rebate: Agendus Professional Edition 12.06, Documents To Go 10.00, PocketMirror Professional 4.3 and MobiSystems OfficeSuite Professional 7 7.50. Pretty cool rebates, eh?

The full list of the Windows Mobile apps offered for ~40% rebate is HERE (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_wince/list.html?type=aktionen&limit=0,10) (the other titles are definitely less interesting). The same for Symbian S60 is HERE (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_psion/list.html?type=aktionen&limit=0,10), the Palm OS HERE (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_palm/list.html?type=aktionen&limit=0,10) and BlackBerry HERE (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_blackberry/list.html?type=aktionen&limit=0,10).

Note that, according to PocketPlayers Reloaded (http://www.pocketplayers.info/Joomla/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=32&func=view&id=2238&catid=9), SOTI’s Pocket Controller, the best (and also the most expensive) Windows Mobile handset / PDA controller, should also be offered at a significant (20e instead of 32) rebate. However, the product page (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_wince/produkt.html?id=49822) doesn’t reflect this. Hope this is only a temporary problem and it will indeed be offered for that cheap. (Should you not know the title, check out THIS (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2434&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) for a thorough comparison to all the alternatives.)

Finally, if you don’t know German and Google Translator / any of the Babelfish services don’t help either, I’ve published a tutorial on using it HERE (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2386&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1).

UPDATE (an hour later): thanks for the PocketPlayers Reloaded folks writing in, my attention was drawn to Pocket Controller again. It seems I didn’t see it having a debate because my default WinMo device was set to the HTC s710 touchscreen-less MS Smartphone. After switching to Pocket PC’s (to HTC Universal – but it should work with all models; direct link HERE (http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_wince/device/HTC/Universal/produkt.html?id=49822&noreload=1)), I was indeed presented the lower price (19,95 € instead of 31,95 €) of Pocket Controller. It’s really a very good buy for such a low price, particularly for us Europeans – particularly if you have a (W)VGA device and/or need a controller with a registry editor and other goodies built-in.
