Windows Phone Thoughts: The 'PI' eater? -- A look at Agendus for Windows Mobile v1.01

Appointments
As with other tools, Agendus provides the normal Agenda, Daily, Weekly and Monthly views.

The Agenda (or Today) view can be configured to show one or many days in the future. It also includes a Quote of the Day, this Day in History event, and Weather Forecast which are downloaded from the Internet, if a connection is available. I had a a couple of problems with the Agenda view though. One was with the Tasks displayed, since it's not able to show all Active tasks including both the dated and undated tasks. Anniversaries associated with Contacts also showed up which had long since past. I'm not sure why, but I had to delete them from the Contact information to make them disappear.

There is also limited linkage from the Today screen to other areas. For example, tapping the Tasks icon does not take you to the Tasks display and tapping on the day name on the Agenda view doesn't take you to the Day view. Tapping on an appointment line in Agenda view does take you to the edit screen for appointments and it is possible to navigate from Month view to Day view by tapping on the appropriate day.

Two versions of the Week view are available – the Week list, in which a week's worth of appointments are presented in a list, separated by day.

The second is a Week Block view, where the week is shown in a 'week at a time' view, with meeting times blocked off.
