I would second that wholeheartedly!! The BB PIM stinks- we need a developer to see the opportunity there and help out. Just adding contact/activity linking would be a great start.

Hi Guys

Thanks for all your interest! Right now, we have pretty much finalised everything in terms of features which are going to be in the product.

We have been in discussion now with MobiHand and plan on launching through them very shortly

I'll let you all know when it is out!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to publicly thank all of you for all your interest and support in our product. It really means a lot to us and we really did not expect to receive this much attention.

Extra thanks go out to all the beta testers who put in their own time and effort to help us out. You guys were absolutely fantastic! And it's because of the great job you guys did that BlackBerrySmart will continue to return to bbforums to offer beta versions of future products. And we've got some real interesting ones coming up

Peace out.

Cheers,
eZainny.

T already does it for the 8830, and B for the bottom.

Any word on pricing? just a ballpark.

Thanks to YOU for going overboard in trying to accomodate everyone's wishes. Most developers would just go with the "mainstream" and not worry about the "fringes" figuring that people would "buy it anyway".

It's been a pleasure helping out with the beta testing.

I know- I was talking about him incorporating it into the product- does this on all qwerty bbs AFAIK.

From someone who's been watching this on the sidelines, I have to say this looks very promising! It's obvious from the posts by the beta testers that a lot of effort has gone into this.

I can't wait to see the finished product ,and I wish you the best!

eZaine, thankx a ton for giving us wat we really really neeeded.. I know u r going to TOP MY FAVORITE list very soon!

Will we who missed the beta by a few hours, have a chance to try the product as well? I mean will you have a trial or do you just mark it for sale only without ANY trial for the rest of us?

I know it has been tested by the beta testers, and I'm not doubting your coding skills at all (afterall you've been great to give us this ) but just 7 days of testing may not really be enough to mark it fit for ALL devices and ALL networks.. If you can put the product as trialware like so many other vendors, that will give us all an opportunity to see how well it works on our individual devices before they purchase it. For ex, do some of the features get restricted by an IT policy, or clashes with the native email, or some other app.. etc etc.

Hi Trevor,

Nothing set in stone at the moment. But we were thinking around $25. Judging from the prices of other products on the market, we believe that would be a fair price to ask.

Cheers,
eZainny.

Thanks for your interest jocelyn.

I can confirm that we will definitely be putting out a trial version which you can try for free.

Regards,
eZainny.

Hi All,

Alright, I've just had a look back through all the feedback I've received. I know I said I would only choose one beta tester who I thought gave "the best" feedback, but it's just too damn hard So there are 3!

CableGuy711 - Gave very comprehensive feedback. Found a number of problems and also overall just did a real fine job

Klotar - Another great beta tester. Went above and beyond to provide me with screenshots and overall just kept giving. Great job champ.

OrganicBerry - Picked up a number of issues with the email display that nobody else caught out and overall was friendly, responsive and downright helpful

Congrats guys. You rock If you ever find yourself down in Australia, be sure to send me an email because I owe each of you a beer. It's much better than that American stuff

Also, you'll be entitled to full free copies of any application BlackBerrySmart releases in future This is just the beginning for us...

To all the beta testers, thanks heaps for your efforts! You too helped make this the product it is.

Have a great day all!

Cheers,
eZainny.

Thanks eZaine. A free trial is a good strategy

I was telling you it is... at least for mine.

I think that is a reasonable price. Will this be a user license or a device license. (user=When we upgrade our device we can remove the program from the first and install on the second, device= The user must buy a new license if he upgrades his blackberry.)

Maybe you could even consider a tiered structure like the one with Jivetalk. They have a user license for $30 and a user license for $20. Just a thought.

Now that the beta is over when will the program be available for everyone ?

Please, that’s enough. Recently I’ve seen way too many threads that come to pissing matches by users arguing over nothing.

If there is something that you read that bothers you then you have an option to move on to another thread or click the report post button.

Thanks Zainny! It was my pleasure helping out!

You've got a winner here.

I've cleaned up the crap in this thread. Please keep it on topic.

Anyone else looking for a PIM enhancement please get your request in to Blackberry Smart.

Thank you... I have been a member of Blackberryforums for a long time now (I don't post a lot mind you) and I have to admit that as the Blackberry platform and this site gain in popularity, it seems to be attracting ... huh... less "mature" posts. This forum has always been and is still the number one place to get advices, tips, suggestions, help and software previews. As a professional I have always been able to rely on the quality of the posts here... Lately it has become a bit difficult to sort through the less "meaningful" messages...

Thanks John Clark and all other mods for an outstanding job... You guys are pros!

^You're welcome. Thanks for the kind words.

Im glad I read on down I was curious as to what Kyoo was speaking about.

eZainny, thanks for the opportunity to help test this awesome product. As a relatively new BB user, and a newbie in the world of testing, it was both educational and exciting to experience the process.

Folks, you are going to be pleased. It's fast (which is important IMO), and doesn't hurt the eyes to look at. ;) Hang in there a bit longer...

Hmmm...Looks like I missed some "interesting posts" - Only just woke up then Probably for the best...

trevor1189,

That's going to be a full user license for $25. I can't really see the point in a device license...That just doesn't seem fair to me (I mean, you paid for the app. why should you have to buy it again just because you got another BlackBerry?)

rkkeller,

Right now we are talking with MobiHand and a couple of other companies to get this app. out as soon as possible. We know how much you guys want it and believe me are working around to the clock to ensure this gets out as fast as humanly possible.


I'm not sure what I missed out on, but thanks Mods

well said and I concur this is a great app I cant wait for you all to have it. Today my boss was like whats that on your BB and I showed him now he wants it for his 8830. And for showing it to him I get a new 8830 out of the deal so thanks zainy

My IT department is jealous of me. People keep coming by my office to see it......

I would pay some $$$ for this! Love to see it out soon. Any ETAs?

Wow, I made it into the list of Top 3 beta testers. I feel special :-D

I just picked up my 8300 today, so as soon as its unlocked I'll email you to get the new full version installed on my phone. =)

Hey all,

This looks like a phenomenal app. a real 'must have'!!! One question though, I have been lurking this thread for days in anticipation and now I have noticed on your homepage that it is for BB's newer than 7230. Should I assume that it wont work on my 7100i???


Thanks,

Steve

Ok, that is great.

BTW, you missed someone (I have another word to call him but I won't use it here) saying that this product is a fake and we will never see it.

Hello comptechltd,

BlackBerries have a weird model numbering system. The 7100 is actually newer than the 7230 (it's real old! I don't think there would be many people who still have it) so yes, it will work perfectly on your BlackBerry - several of the beta testers had 7100's.

Cheers,
eZainny.

We've been hurrying madly to get it out onto the market - real delay isn't on our end at the moment unfortunately. Maybe give it a week or so

Cheers,
eZainny.

Well I am glad to hear that it'll work on my 7100. Is there gonna be a trial version available??? Maybe one that works til it is available for purchase...hint...hint


Steve

i second that

Sounds good. I have my $25 ready just point me in the right direction when its released.

I co-sign this, any way we could get this?

According to eZainny there will be a trial version that you can "try before buy".

He has answered this before here:
(or you can scroll up, it's on this page.)
http://www.blackberryforums.com/afte...tml#post565437

I think what hes trying to do is get set up so he can release it. To give out a trial prior to releasing through a software company would be a nightmare for him. Just be patient its coming and it will be well worth the wiat

Oh, this might be bad. Is my 7250 newer than the 7230? I am going to be really mad if this doesn't work on my device.

Okay, someone help me out please. Choices, choices.. I was dead sure I am gonna buy it right away till I saw this !

http://www.blackberryforums.com/afte...a-testers.html

I have applied for a trial earlier this time because I missed out on the trial of Blackberry smart.. Now before I spend $$$ on ezaine, someone please help me decide - how is it different from the other.. I cannot compare myself, because I still don't have a copy of ezaine's email product.. I have requested eZaine for a copy but haven't got a response yet.. Maybe its the timezone he is in! I will let you all know as soon as (or if I) get any confirmation from either of the two..

We surely are living in great times! Thumbs up to both the guys for giving us what we want.. and to BBF for being such a great place to be.. this forum rocks with developers that ROCK the world!
