I tried Spb Diary a month ago and found it lacking when compared with SBSH PocketBreeze.
The PB developers are also far more responsive to feature requests and bug reports.
Unfortunately Spb Diary’s slow popup calendar together with the lack of a left handed option for the scroll bar sent me running back to Pocket Breeze.
I found this to be indicative of other Spb software too – always missing something I’d consider “basic”:
Spb Time – no “vibrate” option for alarms
Spb Mobile Shell – a shell replacement is something that is likely to be used by techies and these are the same people who probably have plenty of 3rd party apps on their devices so why does SpbMS restrict compatibility to Windows Media Player, Pocket Internet Explorer, Windows Pictures and Video, and Pocket Outlook?
