Guest vinaymanro Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 David K over at Fuzemobility has been playing with a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM created by Herg. The more I play with Herg’s ROM the more goodies I find:) Going to ‘add contacts’ when Windows Default is the today screen UI (not when TF3D is the default) presents you with a new screen which allows you to add a group text or email group, something that WM has been missing. Once selected you have the normal contacts list to scroll through and you can highlight as many contacts as you would like and they can be saved to a group that you name. When you go to do a new email to that group it adds all of the individuals (so instead of saying it is an email to “Group 1” it inserts each of the contacts individually so you can see who make up the group and revise them if needed). Herg is using build 23412 and I’m not sure when this was first included but it should be a keeper. This is something which has been missing from Windows Mobile handsets for far too long, so it's good to see Microsoft adding features that are needed! [Via Fuzemobility]
Guest David Mc0 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 This is a good feature, and it's is strange that it's not been around for so long. I've been using GroupSMS for ages, and it's done me well. The 'group' functionality has been there in WinMo for ages, just the message and email clients didn't support it, so groupSMS fills the gap well. The newest builds of TF3D also have a 'groups' tab in the 'all people', from which you can send SMS and Emails to the whole group. However, the SMS opion has a maximum of 10 recipients, making it useless for bigger groups. It's good, but not there yet!
Guest timeline Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 that's nice, but how about supporting full unicode charsets/fonts so we don't have to hack our winnls to display cjk like we have since PPC2002? Back then maybe the extra 3mb ROM Jp devices needed over En ones may be an issue, but surely now with an avg 500+ ROM space you can save us all the trouble? MS is always too little too irrelevant too late. The 1st iphone could display all languages and had all inputs out of the box!
