LivePVR Records Phone Calls and Meeting Notes
http://www.softtrends.com/products/livepvr/livepvrwmppc.htm
This is an application that can seriously improve the usefulness of your Pocket PC. It has three modes - Phone Call PVR, Meeting Notes PVR and Voice Recorder PVR. Using the phone feature, you can record any and all phone calls. In meeting notes, it runs like a normal TiVo or other DVR - it continuously records into a buffer. When the speaker says something interesting, just press a button. It then reaches back a few seconds (user configurable) into the buffer and continues recording so you get the whole section you want.
It can work in conjunction with OneNote on your Pocket PC if you wish. It is $9.95 and there is a demo available. They also have a Smartphone version. As of this writing, the "Order" link isn't working. Hopefully that will be fixed soon. The demo link does work.

Shall I be the first to say it?
"Please consult your local laws and regulations before attempting to record and/or play conversations with other individuals."
My understanding of US law is that it's okay to record phone conversations without the other person's knowledge only if you do not allow anybody else to listen to the recordings. If you use the recordings for anything other than personal note-taking, you probably need to inform the other person.
Okay, you attorneys out there, is that correct?

Just curious, is this the only solution available to archive phone calls on any Windows Mobile phone device thus far? Kind of surprising it's taken so long...
I agree on the legal disclaimer. There's a Skype add-on for Outlook that provides an interesting option to record just your part of the voice conversation, or both parties (with the legal disclaimer thrown up when you select the latter).

"it runs like a normal TiVo or other DVR" except that it doesn't record video. Are they not aware that PVR stands for Personal VIDEO Recorder? Maybe it should be called LivePAR?

Simply recording a conversation, regardless of how you use or intend to use it, may be illegal without the consent of both parties. This depends upon the state you and the other party to the conversation are in.
If you are conversing with someone in a state that requires that both parties consent to the recording you may be subject to the laws of THAT state. If your state only requires the consent of one party and the state in which the other party to the conversation resides requires the same you are fine. State laws in regard to this are actually tougher than federal regulations interestingly enough.

Lost feature
In the old Ipaq phone I had it would record both sides of the call, if you recorded a voice note. My new PPC-6700 only records my voice (not the other end) if I record a voice note.
Anyone know how to restore functionality other than buying this program? Regedit perhapts?
It was great for when someone tells me a phone number, now I have to repeat back the number to them, kind of annoying.

Has anyone actually tried the phone call recording?
I can't get it to work on PPC6700 (WM5)...no recording files ever get created...also the program does not respond to touch-screen events...I have to use the thumb stick to navigate and click...Maybe the demo is only smartphone or something...
Looks like junkware to me so far...

On my Samsung i730 wm5, I can't get anything to work. Doesn't respond to any touchscreen taps. Only thing I could do was set options, and exit the program....weird. Emailed the company but haven't heard back yet.

Not Working on T-Mobile MDA
I too, am having a problem using this application. The buttons do not respond and when I run the sync software on the PC it tells me that the device does not have the software installed. I uninstalled and re-installed but the only thing that works is the options and exit menu items.
