The title of this software is kina misleading and self-explanatory I guess. BT Spammer is a tool for one time or periodical “spamming” all nearby Bluetooth devices (in visible mode). BT Spammer allows users to set up and define own Message (plain text), Business card (vcard), and Picture (jpg).
Explanation for Sent column: - : Error connecting to the target device. ? : Unknown status. OK : File was successfully sent.
Support for both Smartphone and Pocket PC platform (WM 5, WM 6, WM 6.1). MS Bluetooth stack required. (It wont work on Motorola smartphones, some HP’s…)
How many times did u want to send the same SMS to more than 1 person or may be to a whole group on your Windows Mobile. Till now you had to copy & paste it to each contact over and over again. This little freeware is gonna make your life a lot easier. Say hello to Group SMS. It can be started from the Start menu or by the right menu in the messaging application. The application reads the categories from the Pocket Outlook database. If you own a Smartphone, you have to create the categories in Outlook and sync them to your device.
Changelog:
>>Version 1.4.5 [15.02.2008]
*A minor update for the Smartphone users. The list of receivers can be scrolled by pressing left and right to get Page up and Page down functionallity. In the previous versions left and right checked the selected receiver.
TxtMan is a threaded SMS program for Windows Mobile 5.0+. It sends and receives text messages (SMS) and displays the messages as a conversation, like an instant messenger client.
TxtMan has been tested mainly on the Motorola Q, but has been reported to work on these devices:
It may work on other devices. If you’re running Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone or Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone Edition, give it a try. If it works, let me know so I can add your device to this list. TxtMan has been reported to work on some devices running Windows Mobile 6.0. TxtMan requires the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 to be installed on your phone in order to run. It’s free, and many other Windows Mobile programs require it, so it’s a good thing to have. To download it here
Notes:
TxtMan no longer needs to be running to receive incoming SMS messages. TxtMan will launch automatically upon the receipt of an SMS message.
You won’t get message notifications like the built in messaging app gives you, but the program will play a sound, vibrate, and bring itself to the foreground when a message is received. If the phone’s ringer is off (silent mode) or you are on a call, TxtMan will not make a sound when an SMS is received. However, it will still vibrate, unless you turn that off in the options.
Due to the peculiarities of the .NET Compact Framework, when the focus is on the conversation window, pressing up and down on the 5-way pad scrolls the conversation, but will not move the focus back to the text input area. To move the focus away from the conversation window, press any key except up or down. For some reason, this applies to some devices, and not others.
