Review: PhoneWeaver 2 for Windows Phone – Make Your Smartphone Smarter
I’m all about making my HTC Touch Pro work harder for me, allowing me to do less so that I can get on with the business of enjoying my life. SBSH‘s recently introduced PhoneWeaver 2 allows for just that. I’ve spent some time using the complimentary copy of the program that they provided and want to share with you how it will help to ease the load on your plate. Grab yourself a glass of iced tea, and join me below.
So, you ask, what IS PhoneWeaver 2? Basically, it is a profiling application that integrates into the Windows Mobile operating system at a really low level. It allows you to create custom profiles that can control all aspects of your phone: the volume, backlight levels, and different communications states (radio, wifi, bluetooth, data connection, etc.). Pretty cool, right?!
Now you ask, so how does PhoneWeaver 2′s controlling of my phone’s features actually ease my daily burden? Well, it’s actually quite simple. You can create profiles based on time, allowing your phone to automatically turn on and off at pre-determined times. I don’t know about you, but this eases my burden just a bit in the morning as I don’t have to check that my Touch Pro is on before I depart for work. It’s also great as my phone turns off in the evening, just in time for my daughter’s bath and bedtime. It also keeps my phone from ringing while spending quality time with my wife. Additionally, profiles can be triggered by scanning your phone’s calendar. I’ve configured profiles to watch different categories of events, sending my phone into silent / vibrate mode just a bit before I reach work or church. PhoneWeaver 2 then dutifully restores my volumes as soon as the events have passed. Rest assured, there are other profile triggers as well, including cell tower ID’s, and GPS coordinates so that you can trigger a profile based on your location or proximity to an area.
Additionally, PhoneWeaver 2 monitors your various phone communications, allowing you to see at a glance how many texts, voice messages or emails you have. This can be monitored via the well thought out task bar icon or today plugin.
In conclusion, I’ve got to highly recommend PhoneWeaver 2 for Windows Phone. It makes managing your communications simpler, thus making life just a bit less hectic.
