@ ragart, I agree. The full screen caller ID is one of the features that really sold me on this one.

@ pedah, absolutely. Way too many programs just pack in the features when all you really need is a streamlined solution to get things done and access the information.

Great read Doug. I’ve said before, I like a program that does one thing and does it well. you made the point “Unfortunately, however, it suffers from the same issue which plagues many Windows Mobile programs: it tries to do too much.”, The huge amount of devices, out there are really driving developers to have to include functions that cover many input methods and that has at least tripled just the configuration options. I don’t get it, but if you’ve got a device with a T9 keyboard, a touch screen, and a qwerty key board, you’re certainly going to have a steep learning curve to work out how to input data for your device that suits you.

thanks for the review, Doug. I was actually looking at this product when I was really into the idea of a fullscreen caller ID. I think if a company just focused on that aspect alone and did it really well, that alone would be a great product.

As it is, the only two I know are this and S2U2 (Slide 2 Unlock 2) on the XDA forums. It’s got a pretty good fullscreen caller ID, and supposedly a working slide 2 answer function ala the iPhone You can even set it to have .gif files as a wallpaper and show weather while locked. I just can’t do it because of the cost in RAM — and the fact that I don’t really need my device to lock itself.
