DialerAce’s intelligent algorithm enables an input-free prediction that generates a smart call list. Unlike the usual passive mobile dialers, the call list will be filled with people that you want to or should be contacting. DialerAce, through its algorithm, actively recommends your next call based on your tendencies, habits, upcoming events and other information, such as birthday and anniversary. The goal is to make dialing easier. Without going through your ever-growing contact list, users are provided with a list of contacts that one may call. Capable of generating 32 contacts spread out in 4 pages, you no longer have to manually choose and select contacts as your favorite, they are added automatically!

Here are the highlight for some of the major changes in this release. You can find the complete list of DialerAce features in the initial release page.

• Contacts’ individual Call Logs: Tap and hold on a contact, and click on Call History to bring up individual call logs.
• Accuracy Check on Recommended Contacts: Wondering if the accuracy for the contacts generated is correct? Go to Menu > Accuracy to find out the accuracy of the recommended contacts.
• Continuous page flip: You may now flip through the 4 pages of contacts continuously in a loop.
• Access to default contact page (or phone book): From the Menu > Contact you may access the default contact page or phone book on your device.

Texting with the standard Windows Mobile SMS interface is not always very convenient. The text is very small and hard to read in many cases. Replying or sending a new text message by using the stylus and the tiny onscreen keyboard can be a real pain and is just impossible in situations where you don’t have both hands free. If you have been carrying around a Windows Mobile device for a while, this will definitely sound familiar to you.

Now, with EASY SMS, texting no longer needs to be such pain. EASY SMS will give you a new interface for texting, the way it should have been implemented in the first place. Easy SMS is extremely useful in all these day-to-day situations where texting is not very convenient: in a meeting, at the counter of the supermarket, in the car,… But once you tried it, you’ll never want to miss the comfort of EASY SMS in ANY situation!

Its offered as a Freeware since its still in Beta.

FEATURES:

• Big (fully customizable) fonts for convenient reading in all circumstances
• Easy and comfortable single-handed text input without any need for the stylus
• Fully customizable automatic standard replies with one single on-screen button
• Snooze function to remind you again at a more convenient time
