Holy over inflation batman! 10x the size of version .11, just to add sms threading into it? And it's own dictionary? Ok, the 10x is the full file structure, but if you only look at the app itself it is still 64.6k for .11 and 354k for pcm .05 (still 5.5x bigger). I will keep an eye on this one, but don't foresee switching anytime soon.

That's 5mb of savings for us WM5 users since this no longer uses it (Plus .NET blows...ahem) I tested it tonight and while the formatting is off for a Treo a bit, this is a very, very nice beta. It's simple, elegant and fast. I look forward to it's development and the threaded SMS is very nice. I hope it gets fully integrated into the system... |

Yeah, I know it doesn't need .net, but I have a few proggies I run that require it, so not a big deal for me. My real worries are having yet another way to screw up the sms. Seems there are quite a few sms related problems, and the website for it doesn't explain whether it replaces sms entirely or just proxies through the system sms. I wouldn't mind seeing a version without the sms or "experimental SIP". Having multiple ways to send/recieve sms on one device is kind of redundant.

It's more a proxy, like you say. So for every contact, you can pull up their SMS chat history instantly and also respond. It's nice: instead of searching your chat history via topic or send/receive, you can just go to the contact and pull up the history there. Since you just copy the .exe to your device there is ZERO system changes. No registry mods, no files added, nothing to be uninstalled. It's quite sandboxed, so to speak. |

look at the diffs clearly stated on his website From ContactManager here's what's new/modified: - Native version: this version doesn't use .NET compact framework, it's written in C++ - Faster version: I've put some time improving performance, on my device, it goes quite well, tell me about you. - Faster display: drawing is also optimized, however, it may have some issue for advanced theming, tell me about it. - New fade effect while calling/edit conact/set picture, this offer a better transition between application, tell me what you think. - Contact update if added/changed/deleted from other application (including activesync). - Memory footprint: No more .NET crap, picture of contact should also take less memory. - Ability to remove contact picture - Edit contact now goes to edit page directly - New contact now goes to edit page directly - New theme packaging (a theme in one file instead of many) - Letter bar between contact - New setting for non latin alphabet (coming with localization but now it's technically possible). - SMS conversation panel: hitting SMS button now goes to an SMS page. It will allow to send an SMS display |

Also he says this about the SMS part:
- Future release will probably include option to not use SMS panel. |
