Sweet find bro!!!! I have it but am getting my free version :D

[techntrek]

Ok, any way to get a larger font size in contacts? I looked all through the settings and you can increase the font size for the settings screen, but nothing else. I always keep my unit on 96 dpi and contacts comes up almost too small to hit it with the stylus, or to read.

[hansgnilsson]

In settings, look under "meny" (I think) soft key down in the right. Here you can choose fonts

Hi Guys

I also downloaded the free version for 1 day on palminfocenter

But now I have received a $16.95 "upgrade" 1 day later to version 8 ????

This sucks

Surely if I only own the program for 1 day then the "upgrade" shopuld be free or is this another marketing ploy for us suckers

I have written to pocket informant but am still awaitibng their reply ???

Reason teed off is that this "upgrade is $16.95" my upgrades in agendus ar normally $10.00 and they never pull a stunt like this !!!

Sucks? :eek:You have now a 30 $ piece of software for free (and is the 2007 release) OR you COULD have the 2008 release with a 10$ discount, ABSOLUTELY FOR FREE!
This sucks? :confused: Welcome to the earth baby!:p

I will be happy to find every day someone giving for FREE 10$!!!!!

[techntrek]

I don't see the downside of this, either. Yes, when I got the email announcing the new version just 2 days after downloading the older version my first reaction was "bait-and-switch" and I was a little angry. But that quickly went away when I started seeing things like sergiopi describes above. We got a pefectly usable piece of software for free. I'm saying "thanks" and moving on. I just wish I could make the contact font larger... (and no, its not under settings!)

[hansgnilsson]

Hi
I have just reinstalled Pocket informant on my X7500 because I when I used it I changed the fonts in contacts, But I can´t remember exaktly what I did.
Well here is how to do it.
1. Menu
2. Tools and settings
3. Settings

down in the right corner it says Full list, push this and you will see Basic list, fonts/colours and full list. Choose fonts/colours

Here can you changes fonts in just everything.

Regards
Hans

Sorry but the email did not state any of the above.

Thanks for the info.

PS Tried to download the "free" upgrade to ver 8 but keeps saying that it cannot find the registration in their database.

Will write to them and see what they say.

Reason why I am not very happy paying for it as I already use agendus for palm and ppc and find it fantastic $60 layout and hence was only interestedin running this one for a while to see the comparison.

Thanks for the info

Hi

Got their sites upgrade policy to work !!!

It states that if your pocket informant is purchased after 1 September 2007 then ver 8 is free.

When you go to the site checkout it charges you $16.95 ???

I am not bitching about this in light of previous post but I do find falsness a bit hard to bear

If they want to give free versions away - your good fortune,
but then apply the policy - on the site

ver 8 free if obtained after 1 September 2007. ???!!!!????

Being a bit pedantic i know but they did offer the prgram with a 100% discount coupon - it does not invalidate all the other criteria !!!!

[techntrek]

Hans, thank you, I finally found it with your instructions. That is so non-intuitive, especially when there is the one font adjustment in the settings section. So I expected all of them to be there. Silly me. Now I can finally use PI, yay.

mw, that page clearly says that if you got it free from one of the two freebie offers you must pay to get the next version.

[eagle 1]

If you read the owner's comments on the free give away. He did say that he was doing the free version 2007, so more people would get version 8 when it came out in a few days for half price. He was very open about the freebie and that it was a marketing thing to get more people to try pi prior to version 8 release. His comments were somewhere on his site, webis.net on the first day of the free app friday and the other site freebie.

So yea, seems like a marketing ploy and yes it was. If you don't get pi version 8 for 16.95, well you still got a good PIM for free. And as they say, not much is really free without someone having an ulterior motive.

Because they checked your registration and they discovered you haven't purchased!! :) Purchased means IMHO ... PAID!

If you get for free a dog food can in a market, the day after could you give it back asking for a CAT food can? or the new taste DOG food can ? :)

They will ask to give them the RECEIPT, and you haven't!

hi
dont mean to nit pick but
1 yes i got an invoice for the item
2 they supplied a coupon discount code

3 yes i follow your logic about a refund when granted a discount coupon

Never mind i use agendus anyway
Much better
Tossed it

[cbandarrinha]

Hello,

I´ve heard that Poket Informant was available for free but only for TWO DAYS!!!?

Does anyone know where I can find it??

Thanks!

[NeilM]

The offer finished weeks ago, and was just before Version 8 was released.

If you want to try PI, you can download a free trial, but to continue using it you will have to pay for it :)

Sure it's a marketing ploy they hope if you like v7.0 that you will pay for v8.0 why would you think if you got v7.0 for free you are entitled to v8.0 for free as well?

[techntrek]

I think he thought the installation CAB installed a free version.

cbandarrinha - the CAB was the normal trial installation, they just allowed you to get a free activation key free for a few days. Since the key is keyed to your device, you are out of luck at this point. If it makes you feel any better I tried it out for a while and stopped using it...
