It's working pretty good so far for me, it only has a couple issues.

Pro:
I like the fact that it has a today plugin, I am using it with UltimateLaunch
Favorite page shows large icons which i have been looking for a while.

Cons:
I wish i could customize the today plugin. I see there are skins available, but no instructions, etc. I don't need another clock/carrier/date plugin. It also has a problem with other today plugins for me. It always wants to be at the top of the screen no matter what order you have the plugins arranged causing my other plugin to be overlapped.
CallerID function didn't show the number calling, just a picture and "unknown" (it was an unknown caller).

Still no good for me. Can't make phone calls from the address book. It goes right to this screen. Strange they haven't fixed it by now since its pretty useless like this.

.94 out

It seems like they come out with new updates everyday

Doesnt Fix the Dial but it adds a Today Item

Warning - it automatic adds the Today Item and unchecks TouchFlo 3D if you click Comm. an error would pop up so go to Start - Setting - Today - And uncheck Resco and Check TF3D

If You want resco just leave it and do a soft reset would fix this problem

I tried .95, wont dial numbers, and when you uninstall it it is nearly impossible to get you contacts back, just keeps telling me cant find resco when I push the soft button, I have to use sunnysoft make it load my contacts then I have them back, seams pretty usless to me, and how many releases is this.

Im sorta shocked at the amount of bugs in this even for a beta...i done a few private beta test for resco and the software wasnt nearly as raw as this.

Think of it as an alpha program or preview release if that helps. Bottom line they aren't charging for it yet, forcing anyone to try it, or even making it so you have to leave feedback on it if you want to try it.

My impression is that the things people are calling bugs mostly aren't bugs, but rather stages in development they have not gotten to yet. For example the "not being able to dial bug", by sheer virtue of the fact it takes you to a settings screen, screams of the fact that it is not a bug at all, but rather a feature not implemented yet.

Personally I mostly use my phone for texting purposes (I am deaf), and I have to say for that purpose and my needs, this program already rocks, and I look forward to see how it continues to develop. My only wish would be that they eventually make it possible to increase the fonts on the texts.

Resco Developers are probably looking at this thread so report the problem here and they should fix it
