My friend just showed me a real cool phone utility, but unfortunately, it is only for Symbian OS. The application is called Advanced Call Manager (check Handango for detail).
It enables you to set different actions for the groups you have defined - you can accept, reject, forward calls, send personalized SMS etc. And it only costs $19.99. All of a sudden, PocketZenPhone, Caller ID, My Phone Profiles... etc for PocketPC seem so primitive and over-priced. :(

Does anyone know if there is something equivalent for PPC? If not, I am thinking of trading in my XDAII for a P910i. :?

It's all down to your needs.

Symbian was designed from the ground up to be a phone with advanced PIM-like functionality. It's a Phone first, PDA second.

XDA devices (I'm excluding the smartphone here) are based on the Pocket PC PDAs, So they're PDA first, phone second, so the concentration was originally on portable computer-type functionality. The phone portion was plugged in later.
That's why so many of the 'natural' phone functions that many people are used to in standard mobile phones are absent or different. Apps like PocketZenPhone attempt to add a lot of that functionality.

But it's your money in the end.

Maybe you can try this SMARTfilter.

Description:
PROFESSIONAL VERSION
This application is a must have for every Microsoft PocketPC Phone Edition user. Now you will be able to block unwanted callers (even if they do not send their number).
This version includes English, German, French and Italian language.

You can build your own profiles for different situations (e.g. "work", "home" or "holiday"). The professional version is able to switch between profiles automatically (e.g. depending on time, day of week and calendar status). http://www.pocketgear.com/pocketpcworld/software_detail.asp?id=13019

I've been using this fantastic application for one month and I'm totally satisfied by its operation and function. Very easy, just tap the names of the people you don't wish to talk to, SMARTfilter will do the rest.

Rather than keep your phone unanswered, it will just give out the sound of busy phone or no sound at all to the unwanted caller. It gives the impression of being busy or unreachable, not the impression of being rude. Very useful when dealing with your ex-girfriend, talkactive auntie, insurance agent, and other annoying callers.

hi people, help is needed I used to try to download smartfilter but during the installation progess it show me a message that that version of smart filter is not intended for my wallaby (ROM 4.01.12, radio 6.24.00 - Im a newbie dosnt know is that means anything to anyone), what can I do ? Already used to try versions for smartphone and other one pocket pc with phone or something like that...

In fact I just want to keep the ringer silent for all numbers but few and all programs I found keep the ringer silent for few not all.

I want it to make it silent in the morning and if the boss call me then I want it to ring otherwise want it to remain silent...

Is that possible ?
