You have to look *really* hard at the screen where it says "14 day trial" and then after 45 seconds, the words "14 Day Trial" transitions into the words "Download Now" with a hyperlink. If you blink your eyes, the transition doesn't happen and you can't restart it. It's a one time thing :)

erm, first use and had a few issues that i'd like to bring to equivox's attention....

i received a mail and my phone half locked up (joystick stopped responding, other buttons seemed ok) dont know if this is coincidence or what

rebooted phone to fix above problem, went back into voxit mailer and it didnt list my inbox at all

options screen, well, doesnt seem to exist (i couldnt open it anyways)

selected 'listening off' (just in case all menus weren't working) and it repeatedly said 'listening mode off', so had to reboot phone again.

and third time i tried it and it now says 'trial expired' (that was a quick 15 days :))

i did actually get it to speak 1 mail to me, and it worked well, so this app has potential, just seems VERY buggy at the moment :D

Posted

Well...I just installed this baby - no problems with that - both PC and phone tells me it worked out ok.

..then I tried to start it....

Nothing.

I clicked the app again...

- this time i get half a second of waiting icon, and then - nothing.

I started my taskmanager - no app running.

So - there you go - I dont even get an error.

This app is a joke - at least so far.

That´s my 5 cents :)

..it DID uninstall just fine though... *crowd goes wild*

Posted

WHoah - a little update...

..I posted equivox support about this and got this reply from [email protected]:

"This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

[email protected]"

ok.... hmmmm :) - lets hope they just rushed things when they did their support page.

Glad I didn´t pay for that app :D

Yeah - it doesn't exactly work, does it?

At least not for me . . .

Did take quie a while to install though - lots of files to do nothing.

EDIT: Apparently we must install it in the default directory (guessing that means on the phone) and no way am I having any programs take up that much space on my ISPM!

yes, currently it must be installed to the phone for it to work :)

Install to the phone...

..I thought that was what I did when I ran their installer and the app turns up on my phone... ..?

Do you mean i have to move the .cab file onto my phone and install it from there?

If you got it to work - please post a short how-to here - I cant be the only one who would like to know just HOW you got that app to work :D

oh - and happy new year too :)

no, i mean when it asks do you want to install to the phone or the storage card, make sure you install to the phone :)

Posted

I installed it to the phone as I do not have a memorycard for my phone - didnt get one as I bought the developers version (no card included)

..so what else did I do wrong :)

(thanks for the fast reply!)

LOL. Do they have a test department? That's like the most common mess-up you can do in software, i.e. hard-coded paths. Tsk Tsk!! :wink:

Has anyone gotten any success with this app yet?

Good News!

A developer responded to my emails and told me the current Vox-it trial only works with 2002 smartphones... (no kidding)

..but they will release a 2003 trial before the end of this month!

Alright!

So lets keep an eye on their site! :)
