The dialer has always been one of the few shortcomings of my TP2. What are guys with big fingers and bad eyes supposed to do with those little dial pads?

I feel like Gary too, don't know how to install

I was feeling the same way....but found these links. 1st is the link to PhonEx
http://www.iconsoft.com/
It appears we need to install this first..
This second link kind of explains how to put the .ist file into the PhonEx folder...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562894
"Installation:unzip iphone.zip and copy iphone.ist in \program files\iconsoft\phonex\skin\ directory."

Anyone else more experienced with this please advise if this is correct or not.

TIA

UPDATE: Been playing around with this and is definitely a good alternative to the plain old stock dial pad (and larger buttons!). Using the trial version (haven't purchased it yet). Have other users purchased / registered their's??

That is correct, you just have to extract and copy into the \program files\iconsoft\phonex\skin\ directory and then go into the option menu and select Theme name... See Attachment

As for building cabs, I had to stop building them because I couldnt find a simple set up to pre-configured cab where I dont have to setup registry and location directory and other items to have it install correctly for everyone and I just don't have any free time to cab each theme, time is minimal... Sorry

Just install them to \program files\iconsoft\phonex\skin\ directory or storage card\program files\iconsoft\phonex\skin\ directory if you choose to install PhonEX application on card...

I am unsure which theme you are wanting in WVGA, is this the one? If this is the one you are speaking of, I will have to see what I can do because 3nric0 created this with version 1.4.5 builder and I can not open file to look over original layout but I can give it a try... Let me know if this is the one you want..

Hate to say it Willy Jay, but it looks like I may be out $25 soon if this stays on my phone much longer. I REALLY like it and it pretty well solves the last major hurdle for me to see the TP2 as a bonafide phone. I've always felt it was mainly a PPC with phone capabilities on the side. This program brings the phone side of it up to par with the computer side of it. It's only been on there for about an hour, and I'm loving the way it looks. Now, I just need to make and receive some calls to see how it performs.

After having the chance to play with this for a while, what are your thoughts now?

I actually bought it last night. The trial was about to expire, so I uninstalled it to see if I could deal with the original dialer. After having this one for almost two weeks, I definitely wanted it back. I really liked the full screen caller ID, and the ease of assigning ringtones to my callers. It operates VERY smoothly. One thing I haven't been able to get to work with it on the phone is the feature that allows the phone to go to speakerphone when placed face down. It kept hanging up on my caller. I may be doing something wrong, and if anyone one knows how to get this feature back, I would appreciate it.

However, there was another issue after uninstalling it. With it gone, and the original dialer now taking charge, when I would scroll through the list of recent calls, it would make an unreadable black blur where the names and numbers should have been. with each additional swipe, the black blur got worse.
I had no idea what was causing this, and since I liked the Phonex dialer anyway, I just reinstalled it and purchased it.
