Alow, for the last 4 days that i have my JAM i have concluded that the bundled caller ID that displays contact photos SUCKS!!

first of all i dont like applications that are slow, means they are badly coded, and caller id takes like 10 seconds to load my 260 contacts database. Other than that it seems too buggy and not usable enought.

I have also tried Photo Contacts which seems a nice alternative however the lack of an easy way to add contact pictures have put me off buying it. I dont wanna name files in order to assign contact pictures. Throught the contact list could have been superb. Althought the full screen contact pictures are awesome.

Any alternatives to them? or shall we start coding?

My wish is an application that use the photo from the contact.
In Outlook2003 you can assign photos to your contacts why not use them?

for that we will need to wait until WM5, if i am not mistaken in WM5 Pocket outlook supports contact pictures and hopefully activesync 4 will sync them as well.

Take a look at Photo Contacts v1.1 where you can assign photos from within the program. Works like a charm!

Of course, I spend over $20 to get this program for my PDA2k (and now my JAM), and some guy posts the full, latest version right here.

DOH!

Have to admit, though, it's way better than IA Caller ID and it's full screen!
