T-Mobile's New Tariffs & Price "Refresh"Some of you may have heard that T-Mobile is planning to do a revamp of their Tariffs & prices on 1st February. I have all of the details & prices on my desk but due to being told that I cannot release the full details until next Monday, I can confirm, due to some info already leaked on the web, that T-Mobile is replacing Combi and Flext to a new Tariff deals with some exciting prices. Same goes for PAYG plans. It also comes with Boosters where you can pick/remove what you need on Pay Monthly contracts. I will be posting the FULL details of it on Sunday 31st January, just about 11pm to 12am. So keep your eyes out for it! I'm pretty sure the T-Mobile website will be updated first thing during business day on 1st Feb. Looks like it's going to be an exciting month for T-Mobile and its customer base. But who's not liking the idea of Flext/Combi being dropped? I am one of them as I still have Flext 20 from the old days and I am hoping they will keep Flext running for existing customers who chose to stay with their existing plans, unless the prices are VERY good enough to switch to the new tariff. What do you think? Do you like the idea of Flext/Combi being dropped?[Via: Myself with the inside info] |

Got some sad news in my inbox and have confirmed from the NAV4ALL website that NAV4ALL will shut down in a matter of days. I've had a many great years of service from this product, and although not as flash as TomTom, Copilot and others, it was an app that ran on nearly all mobile devices. Here is the extract from the NAV4ALL site: QUOTE Subject: Nav4All navigation shut down by Navteq Letter to 27,625,631 Nav4All navigation customers Dear Customers, It is with the deepest regret that we hereby notify you that the global navigation of Nav4All and the Tracking & Tracing will go offline in 3 days. The reason for the same is that the data licence agreement with Navteq (a 100% Nokia subsidiary) was not extended, in a totally unexpected manner. It is not possible to implement data from another supplier in our Nav4All systems within the short term. The Nav4All navigation system was developed for Navteq data. Nav4All has therefore been constrained to stop. We greatly regret the fact that we have to suspend the operation of our service. With your help, we have developed Nav4All into a global product with 27.5 million users in 56 languages, in 5 years. This has made Nav4All the largest navigation supplier. This large number of users also has to do with the fact that Nav4All works on hundreds of different mobile telephones of many makes such as Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola, Android, HTC, Nokia, LG, Iphone, Ipod etc. After 5 years of testing and market development, we witnessed rapid - in fact, exponential - growth during the last two years. That growth was reported in the licence reports to Navteq. In mid-December 2009, the global coverage was extended to include the Philippines, Morocco and Kenya. Please contact the Nav4All support desk in case you have any questions: www.nav4all.com/support. If there is any further information from Nav4All concerning the subject of this letter, the same will be published on our website: www.nav4all.com. For reasons of privacy, Nav4All does not have the email addresses of all its customers, and we therefore request you to forward this email to the maximum extent possible, in order to ensure that everyone is informed. Kind Regards, Hennie J.M. Groot Koerkamp (CEO) Nav4All BV Keizersgracht 62-64 1015 CS Amsterdam NL Any suggestions for free or reasonably priced alternatives? Google Maps? Bing? Copilot Live?

Glyphs 1.5 brings more speed. A modern interface that improves the work with your mobile device by making it simple and accessible. This video shows most of the Glyphs components and options. The Glyphs plugin contains for of the hottest features in the Glyphs package. Using it, you can organize the entire today space so that you would have all your favorite applications or even plugin, accessible with just a few taps!

The second product in our partnership is HeadsetRemote. QUOTE Product OverviewYour Bluetooth headset proves its utility in various situations where you can't use your hands to hold the phone. As you know, the bluetooth headset operates wirelessly using Radio Waves. So theoretically it would be possible to use it to control remote devices. After this idea had been conceived, for us it was only one step to use our skills and provide a software tool to make this possible. Now Using HeadsetRemote, you can perform various tasks on your mobile device - wirelessly. Imagine you need to start a file remotely (music, your camera or other) , you need to slide your Powerpoint presentations (do it in a very hi-tech style), or use your phone as a spy (triggered remotely) - endless possibilities, for your comfort, using this software. See HeadsetRemote in action, and learn how to use the most important features of this software. Screenshots are available on the HeadsetRemote homepage. Features- Configure up to three headset actions
- Easy to use with any bluetooth headset that has buttons
- Embedded search function
- 6 various actions to chose from
- Supports Powerpoint, Media player, File explorer
- Replaces Powerpoint remote control, use your bluetooth headset instead

Both pretty neat apps i'm sure you'll agree!

I Left My Phone At Home™ is an application that runs on your Windows® Mobile phone (more platforms are coming soon!) that lets you see and respond to your missed phone calls and text messages when you are away from your phone. Take a look at all you can do: Track ALL your missed calls and text messages, even if you're not at your phone. Respond to all your calls* and text messages by simply typing a response. Set an away message to be sent to all missed calls and text messages, automatically! See your upcoming appointments so you don't miss important meetings! Never miss that important call, text message, or meeting again! I've been using this for a week now, and have left it set to away. I can keep an eye on my phone, without even looking at the phone in my pocket, assuming I'm in front of a computer. I have noticed no additional battery drain, and the data usage is minimal, though I do still recommend having an unlimited data plan. The app is available in the Windows Mobile Marketplace priced at $4.99. This gives you lifetime upgrades. New features are being added. Minimum requirements are a Windows Mobile 6.0 device.
