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

Email
The email functions within Agendus provide fairly simple, straightforward support of emails from Outlook. In fact, the email icon on Agendus' tray simply connects to Pocket Outlook's email function. I won't bother repeating those here.

Preferences
Setting individual preferences for Agendus is accessed via the tools icon in the lower right of the screen or from the Menu (right) softkey. At first blush, the screens displayed here are deceptively simplistic, since it only shows the settings for the current view (Contacts, Appts, Email, etc.)

And this is another one of the places where Agendus has taken the most significant shift away from the normal Windows Mobile interface. The others preferences screens are only available from a sizable menu list on the Menu (right) soft key which takes up most of the screen.

Other Tools
Back on the view screens, an Icon Manager function is also available. With it, you can change the icons associated with various contact #'s, appointment types, etc.

The search capability is fairly powerful, being able to scan for specific types of items like contacts, appointments,tasks, calls, etc. using the keywords provided. The response time to queries was very speedy (typically less than a couple of seconds), even with my two years of appointments and old tasks.
