This program sounds wonderful. I am a Lieutenant Fire Fighter and when we leave for a call I leave my personal phone (Sprint Mogul) at the office and I carry my work phone on me (nextel i680). Sometimes we're at a scene for prolonged periods of time investigating and I tend to miss important texts and calls. It's also happened (about twice a week to be exact) that I'll rush out from my residence to head to a call and forget my personal phone at home. I'll then head to my station and do paperwork on my computer. It'd be wonderful to be able to respond to texts from my work email. I appreciate you're hardwork and can't wait for a beta. If you'll still be needing testers, I'd love to help out.

in the meantime you may want to try dashwire, if your like me, you probably forget the phone on the charger.. fyi, dashwire will consume battery on auto mode.
but hopefully it sounds like we won't have to wait to much longer for this..

j/k, i'm sure you got your work cut out for ya, so take your time ZaijiaN.

I have long been looking for a program to run on my Treo 700wx that will auto-forward SMS messages to specified e-mail addresses based on assigned criteria.

For example:

Rule #1 - If I get a text message from XX, with the word XX in it, then autoforward to XX@xx.com.
Rule #2 - If I get a text message from YY, with any words in it, then autoforward to YY@yy.com.
Rule #3 - If I get any text messages between 11pm and 6am, then autoforward to ZZ@zz.com.

You get the point...

Rules #1 & #2, my program can do.

Rule #3, not yet, but that's a good idea - auto enabling/disabling at certain times. May have to wait before I get around to implementing it, however.


Update:
Just fixed a major bug, testing is going pretty fast now. I'll pick a few beta testers and let you know here in a few days.

That's fantastic! I'd be not only happy to beta test it, but happy to market it on my website, which averaged 50,000 this month so far, geared towards Public Safety folks (Police, Fire, EMS, Haz-Mat, OEM)...

Good luck!

Question for those interested in this application -

What .NET compact framework are you running, or would be willing to run on:
1.0, 2.0, or 3.5?

I'm currently developing it in 2.0, but I'm running 3.5 on my 700wx (since it's backwards-compatible).

If enough people are running 3.5 then i'll go ahead and upgrade the development to 3.5 and take advantage of the new features; otherwise i'll stick with 2.0.

stock roms are mostly 2.0. 80-90% of custom roms have 3.5.

What advanced features you talking about?

I have a couple of referenced projects where I was lazy and tried out auto-implemented properties. They're nice but it's not a big deal for me to revert to 2.0 code. I was also going to try some linq but I'm going to concentrate on getting a solid 2.0 version out before updating for 3.5.

I have an app that requires 3.5 so it doesn't make much difference to me what ver you code.
can't wait to give it a go..

netcf 3.5 here cuz i got an app that requires it
