| Pocketkeeper, compatible with Treo wx or NOT? Handango says it is, but Pocket Gear, and multiple others say that it is not? Is it or isn't it? And if it's NOT ..what is something similar I could use?  |

| Okay, whether it technically is compatible or not, it doesn't work! .... Grrrrrrrrr. Not as advertised. In short.. I want a device that runs quickly, is efficient for calendar options, has a clean organized NOT cluttered, anti ugly icon Today Screen, has lots of additional features, is well-maintained without random useless files, or junk, is multi-language oriented, and that has lots of talking features. Please keep that in while you read my novel of questions
Okay so onto my next problem: I have the following programs installed at the moment: Agile Messenger - Constantly logs me out, but seems to have a better interface than IM + CrazySoft Personality - Developer One Agenda One - Works great when it's not freezing, going through the loading process, or trying to use the on screen keyboard. It's also not very helpful for the today screen. However, I have just spent 3 hours looking for help about this matter, and it turns out somewhere somehow there is a program called Agenda Today that EverythingTreo, TreoCentral or Handagio or whatever doesn't have but it's mentioned on the Developer One forums on a thread where someone was complaining about the loading screen thing. Anyone heard of it?.. opinions? MemMaid - Best, easiest, make you feel good because you're cleaning program. List Pro - If I could get to where I actually make a list, this would be a revolutionary program LingvoSoft German Keyboard - Ich bin Deutsche und das ist gut fur eine Reise. LingvoSoft German Sounds Database LingvoSoft German Phrasebook Mark C Nature - One of the programs that I have no clue what it is, or why it's on my phone but afraid to delete it. Microsoft .NET CF 2.0 - make that # 2 Microsoft SQL Mobile 2005 - Third times a charm. PC Counselor Tweaks2k2 - Cool program for one time use and then a great "phone weight" Pocket Max phoneAlarm - Well you see, the advertisement looked great, however in reality I have installed phoneAlarm and phoneAlarm lite separately and both times it has listed itself as phoneAlarm full in the about section and on top of that it didn't come with a skin, or the language I asked it to install, even after BOTH times of asking it too.... and it has made my phone STOP doing the little notifying that it did.... we'll call that one phoneSilencer for the time being. Resco Explorer - Still figuring out how to use it.. best feature "Soft Reset" so that I don't have to take off my cute phone cover everytime the GRRR piece of wonderfulness decides that it wants to freeze or needs to be restarted. Resco FTP Add-in - Third time is obviously not the charm (see above) Resco Registry Add-in - I think I am going to follow the rule of my ex-boyfriend and apply it to me treo when I used HIS computer .... "don't touch the registry" Resco Today Plugin - More on this later -- but a decent little add on to crowd up the today screen. Resco Today Skin Smile - HUGE smile icons that didn't match anything I had in mind. RMR Software RMRDiet - Just started trying it today and HOPING its better than My personal diet or whatever which basically only lists easily accessible foods if they are fast food... which I don't eat. SBSH.net iLauncher - I think this is going to be a keeper SBSH.net PocketBreeze - Too bad it doesn't have a program like AgendaOne that GOES with it.. because it's a great today plug in! IM + - Don't have a real feel for this one yet Sk Software SKTools. - I didn't buy it, I only tried it and it only let's you view 6 items.. so I have a feeling that if I bought it, I might find it useful... but I don't want it to conflict with MinuteMaid or whatever that other program is... Spb Pink Flower Spb Pocket Plus Theme - It's actually a purple flower, if you can even call it a flower. Spb Pocket Plus - I LOVE the IE add on where you can have more than one window. I like the idea of tabs and customizable today screen, and I have no idea how to work smart scrolling. Sprite Software Sprite Backup - I have used it, and I hope my Treo doesn't crash because Sprite tells me that backup is successful and calls it .exe but who knows where it would be if I needed it. Sync Client - What number of "I have no clue what this is" are we on? VidoOne MyPersonalDiet - Great idea... reminds me of my favorite website that I use for this purpose but it's just NOT good enough.... not enough food listings and doesn't let you do anything unhealthy.. for example, it tries to make you eat 1600 calories a DAY! So because I use it the way I want.. its always telling me to eat more, and that just annoys me when I go to look at how much protein or carbs I had, it's telling me to consume more... UG, I really HOPE RVR or whatever I wrote above (the other diet program) is better. VidaOne My Sport Training - Pretty cool. Okay, so you can probably tell that I have TOO many programs, and yet I still feel I am not completely satisfied. Question #1 - I need a program that's like MyPersonalDiet but for My Bank Accounts, so that if I put $500 on my debit card, it will show me how much I have left... junk like that. Something that is organized where I could input what I spend on etc. Like a budget thing. Question #2 - Sbp Pocket Plus and iLauncher are ALMOST the same thing. I want to know what i'll loose if I get rid of PocketPlus, because it's not exactly my favorite. I heard so many great things about this problem but the icons are HIDEOUS, it doesn't fit on the screen well no matter what configuration that one uses. On the other hand I love the IE tabs, what do you think? Question #3 Agile Messenger vs. IM+ ? Seriously both of them are slow and they continuously disconnect.. even BEFORE I had them both on there....why do they do that? Question#4 I kind of like the idea of iLauncher, and Pocket Breeze together but I would also like a program that went with that that had more advanced options like Agenda One... but it seems a little counterproductive to have both..does anyone else have that or see the need for that? Question #5 Am I suppose to have to literally YANK my usb cable out of my treo after ActiveSync and is it suppose to disconnect sometimes randomly while it's plugged in? Question #6 Do I need both MemMaid and SKTools? Why or why not? Question #7 List Pro.. or should I go with MyList seeing as I like iLauncher and PocketBreeze and they are made by the same person. Question #8 Has anyone tried those new anti-glare screen covers? Question #9 Is pocketAlarm worth keeping...... or is it a total waste? Question #10 Resco and Spb have some of the same cool features like Soft Reset etc. Are they competitors like spb and ilauncher or should I keep both? Question #11 Where is my backup stored from Sprite Backup?
Question #12 Between the Resco Plug-in, The Spb plug-in and the iLauncher plug-in it was way too much... so I had to eliminate most of their features except that ones I liked.. basically IE window tabs, and File Exploring

Reason: It needed some organization.

| Holy smokes - I don't even know where to start. Yes - I would say too much on there.
For my calendar I use the free TodayAgenda - awesome app.
#2. I use Spb Mobile Shell. No problem with it fitting and I personally like the icons.
#5. Your Treo should not be disconnecting from ActiveSync. I know ActiveSync can be finicky, but I've had good luck recently with mine. I use a cradle now, so I don't have to YANK it out. But it did seem like that when the cable went directly into the Treo. Be careful when doing that, obviously.
#8. I have InvisiShield on my Treo - I love it.
#11. Your backup is stored wherever you specified it to go - one of the options for the programs. I always store it on the sd card.
Maybe someone else can tackle the other question. |

| Seems to be a lot quicker for responses in the middle of the night :P. And they sell exactly the same products, so now that I am about to buy all my software from their trials, I'll split it equally, then I don't have to feel like a "trader." Quote:
