phoneAlarm v2.06

phoneAlarm is a Today screen plugin - giving you total control over your Pocket PC Phone. Never miss an important call, SMS or Email again. Automatically switch profiles and quickly access Inbox, call history and control the state of bluetooth directly from the Today screen. Optimized for one-handed and in-car use.


WM 2003 support is no longer available - you will need to use v1.67 (available for download here and contact us for a registration code after completing your purchase - you will get a free upgrade to v2.x if you upgrade device later).
