Compared to older versions, there have been some improvements for one-handed use using the soft keys, and I like these. I'm pretty sure future versions will be more touch-friendly.
From what I can tell, PI is an integrated PIM; there's no way to make it default for calendar but not for contacts.
You can make the contacts list a little more thumb-friendly by choosing Picture List in the View Options in contacts. (Doesn't help much for me because scrolling using the joystick is screwed up - so many settings to explore and fix.....)

Hahah. Alright, thanks for the info. I will try the picture list and see how that goes.

If you want to install directly on the device, you'll need the CAB.

That was the fix, thanks!

For future reference, how could i have extracted just the cab to install on the phone? I noticed it installed a small amout of files in my c:\programfiles folder

I used the option to have a text message sent to me with a direct link to the CAB, however, you can always run the EXE on your PC and usually find the CAB in C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\APP NAME HERE - but some other apps could use different directories.

Shoot, I missed this opportunity. I do not want to break any rules here and I do not think I am since they were giving this away free so would someone perhaps post it up to the ftp here or email me a copy?

If this is out of line let me know and I will remove the request.

Thanks

The offer has ended and each person that got this received an individual registration code. They also asked for the device's Owner Name, so chances are the registration code is linked to the Owner Name.

Oh well, thats what I get for not paying close enough attention. Next time I guess.

Thanks

Yeah, I didn't get any option to change the number of days displayed on my homescreen either. Now that it's slowly filling up, this might be a nice option.
