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

There are also two ways of viewing each month. The Month List view presents a typical calendar representation of the Month, with the time and first couple of characters of each entry shown in the appropriate day. Unfortunately, this becomes so filled as to be almost unusable if you are even moderately busy.

The Month Icon view again uses a calendar display for the days of the month, but instead, shows a clock with the various portions of non-available time filled in on two morning and afternoon clock faces. Personally, I found the clock version of the Month view hard to use, since the clocks were so small.

There is also a Month icon view, in which the calendar is filled with icons you have added to your various meetings, appointments and events, etc. This could be helpful to keep track of important anniversaries, birthdays, and special events, but I think it would be a lot of work to attach them.

As with the Contacts area, tapping and holding on an entry or blank space in any one of the calendar views presents a menu to add a new appointment, new task or new call. You can also create a new entry by selecting 'New' from the Menu (right) softkey options list.

The screens for new appointments/meetings use a similar interface to that presented for new tasks. A series of buttons along the top of the screen take you to the various parts of the appointment entry.

For me, this set of screens wasn't as well laid out as the Contacts entry. Things were located in places I wouldn't have expected them, and naming conventions were a bit odd. For instance... to set the time and date of the meeting, you need to tap the 'Today' button at the top of the screen. The Unfiled dropdown in the lower right refers to adding a Category to the meeting. Meeting location is on the double-checkmark screen. I'm not really sure what 'Roll-over' refers to, but it appears from the screen that it is for meetings that span multiple days. And there seems to be an option to create a 'no time' meeting? These show up as events displayed before the regular start time and come across to desktop Outlook at all-day events.
