• Highly Recommended with New Nokia 3120 Classic

  Pros

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />From the same author, I have been using for years the excellent Phone manager with my Nokia 6310i at the sametime I was also using the excellent Phone Director for my Sister's Nokia. This week my sister got a new Nokia Model 3120 Classic Graphite Type RM-365 FCC ID QTKRM-365 IC 661AD-RM365 Firmware V09.41 Date 06-11-08 RM-365 I contacted the Author and asked if he could get his application to work with the new Phone after a few hours I received a reply and after 48 hrs and a few Downloads, this is now reality and all is working 100% with this excellent and very Cheap Nokia 3120c considering it has all the option needed for business and an excellent Battery life. I Highly Recommend this Phone and Phone Director to make the best Phone management solution for business PS: I have only been supplied a trial version based on the existing 1.2.9 so I guess the Author will update the application very soon to match all this

• Just short of being excellent!

  Pros

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This program is just short of being excellent! It was just what I was looking for... and then some!! 6300 Nokia Model RM-217, Firmware: V 05.50 Delivers what it promises. Phone and SIM back up of numbers works well. SMS transfer - A GEM !! To be able to back up/archive SMS messages from the phone to the computer is a handy feature - laid out in its own database and PhoneDirectory provides it's own Radio - updated channels. Worked. Gallery - pix/video/etc., transefers, works. Processing files to your phones format works well... processing speed is somewhere between good and fast. Importing should be part of the GUI instead of a menu - but this is more my pref and most people don't mind selecting from the File menu each time. Log - can save list - but doesn't list each tracked call in a saved file. Viewable in the program. Would be nice if this was improved - and a very handy feature. To Do - list - needs to be imported. Works well within the program if using the dialog box to create a TO-ITEM. However for iCal - you have to import the file from the FILE menu. It would be better if this was part of the TO-DO GUI as a button, for example. Cosmetic problem: In the To-Do Alarms - the AM/PM listing is not visible - you can still choose the AM or PM - it's just not "visible" - so this is more of a cosmetic issue. (Have contacted Developer with screenshots). Calendar Events/Dates on the phone can be easily transferred to iCal as individual items (if so desired) - by simply dragging from PD into iCal. Transfers with alarms (check w/notes). Calendar - syncs - but it's a bit of work each time. To transfer MEETING, CALL, BIRTHDAY, MEMO and REMINDER - you have to import each one separately. The program won't allow a batch import. I ASSUME that the NOKIA transfer protocol doesn't allow the multiple transfer... however... if I am wrong... then this part of the transfer needs to be improved. When importing calendar - the setting needs to be from the "day before" - that is the setting needs to be set to the day before the day you want the calendar to start in your phone. Themes building is cool. It's not part of the demo - so can't say it works fully... "The building of themes" panels seem easy enough to create themes. Recording Audio sound message using inline microphone - remember to stop speaking a second before hitting the stop recording button... otherwise the end of your message will be truncated. If you have a NOKIA phone - and "IF" this software supports it - you'll be happy with what this software can provide. The demo allows for testing most of it each features - so give it go...

• FINALLY- Calendar for my 6265i

  ARCTOSApril 15, 2008

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Yes, there are newer phones with other software benefits, but I like my Nokia 6265i - not to mention the bucketload of acce$$ories I already have. I switched to mac in January 2008, and have been searching for a way to sync my calendar. Most everything else is just for fun (I don't use email &amp; data on the phone), and I consider it a bonus - I can also "revert" to my PC if it's urgent. But, syncing my DAILY calendar for appointments, meetings with clients - that's what makes the money and this is a savior, since both Apple &amp; Nokia seem uninterested in expanding their horizons. I may post more later, but, if you need calendar syncing to ensure your daily life, get this program. Start with the "read me" files first &amp; get sync'd!

• untransferable

  pbeckSeptember 19, 2007

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The software has worked adequately with my Nokia 6822 , however switching computers disables it and there is no way to unauthorize an install. Agressive copy protection, and limited functionality outweigh the price.

• so,so,so disappointing

  steven_symeAugust 7, 2007

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />If you've a phone that works with this application, then enjoy, it -looks- really good, nice GUI, interesting feature list, but if you have something ever so slightly not on the list then youre damned! My Nokia 6630 is one of these and the famous bluetooth driver &amp; Nokia OBEX compatability problem rears its ugly head again. Its gutting. Maybe some tech-head can tell me why two phones from the same range work differently - its enough to make you scream!!! I do hope the Nokia N95 is a suitable and compatible phone - im about to buy one and i'll never buy another nokia again if it isn't!

• Doesn't do all it claims with the Nokia 8800

  Donnie GohmannOctober 20, 2006

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This app claims that it works with the Nokia 8800, and it does, but on a limited basis. I would not have purchased the app if I had known that. Theme editing (except for changing wallpaper and screensaver) cannot be done and nothing can be done with the operator logo. Pretty much a waste of money if you own a Nokia 8800. I've tried to contact the developer but never heard anything back from them. A total waste.

• Good overall, few bugs

  eldadJuly 1, 2006

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've used the product since version 1.0.8, overall it is easy to use and stable. Few bugs I have discovered with version 1.1.0, my phone is Nokia 6230i: â?¢ When trying to download 17 images to iPhoto the download hang on the first image (that was previously and later downloaded with no problems). When I reduced the number of images to 16, the download went through with no problem (and very fast). â?¢ Transferring names from the SIM card to the phone - drag and drop words well, but I cannot work on more than one window at the same time. More specifically, when a contact has 2 phone numbers on the SIM it occupies to cards. When moving it to the phone I have to drag one of the names, move to the phone list, open the contact card and type the other phones, I would have preferred to just copy them from the SIM list. Even better user interface could have been like in the phone itself - one list where you can sort by SIM or Phone and easily check boxes to move from one to another as well as easily consolidate phone numbers of a contact. â?¢ A bug - after updating the SIM phone list for a few times, it does not recognize deletion of names and does not update them in the phone's SIM.
