icontact vs pocketcm

[gula187]

which one do you guys think is better?

[haiopei]

Its the way you need ?

iContact only for browsing contacts and make calls/sms with
standard WM apps.

PocketCM with above and threaded SMS function inside itselfs.

Both progs are skinnable and need less memory...so, take what you like ?

icontact loads a little faster for me

depends what you need. If you have WM6.1 you prob dont need threaded text pcm offers and have to shut that part off. Icontact runs on less than 100kb RAM while PocketCM takes up .5-1mb. I prefer icontact for basic contact scrolling and initiating calls/sms/emails

well, i've tried both and do have some comment :

POCKETCM is a complete application and you can have many choice of theme, but one pity thing is when you try to edit the contacts information, there is no "copy" and "paste" feature which I think is most required feature.

As to ICONTACTS, it's fast and simple application ontop of the original contacts software inside the WM6, now you can also have some choice for the theme, and at least it's much fast than POCKETCM and you can also have the "copy" and "paste" feature. So now I just transfer from POCETCM into ICONTACTS.

Can I ask why this is in the "Development and Hacking forum"? Seems to be related to neither...

Anyway... I prefer iContact as it is much more light weight, but it's down to personal preference.

With WM5 PocketCM is the best IMO. You finger-scroll contacts with fotos, favs, categorized, sms, and by phone number. The "new contact" page is fine (and still finger friendly), the sms are threaded and when you receive an sms it pops up PCM.

... TRY BOTH ! And make your own opinion ;)

They are free, so you won't loose bucks trying them for a long time... And you will be able to choose witch one you want to support...

Yes me too. PCM loads with unicode very slow. I Like iContact:)

[thomson28]

POCKET CM! for me:)

[ruebyi]

I don't need threaded SMS and icontact is much faster on my Device, so I'm using icontact, even it doesn't show the contactpictures...

[Trekvogel]

If you have a fast device PCM is nice but otherwise take iContact because it takes less resources and just runs smoother.

HINT! Pocket Keyboard from the same dev has copy&paste integrated! jast tap&hold the return key und you get copy and paste functions. this work for any application.

as these later versions of pocketcm loads more graphics, it slows it down even more, but if you want the latest themes, you have to use the later versions.

I just recently discovered iContact and its speed makes it much more usable for me with my device (Sprint Touch).

[agovinoveritas]

What about neither? Use TouchFlo on your device, and you got scrolling on with your finger while you use the Random Access option on your regular contacts? You want a prettier one then get the one from the Diamond. It comes in different colours! ;) I find that I hardly use the side-finger action as much. Because once you have the contact you normally just dial it. So it is about the same amount of steps.

Just sayin'....

[hav0c]

iContact for me!

I like my contacts on SIM card (old school :p), so I'm using exactly the same option. Anyway, if both support SIM, my choice will be iContacts - faster is always better for me.

[wearefree]

I prefer icontact:

1) Faster.
2) ABC grid is nice, selects a contact much easier than vertical scroll IMHO.
3) Auto close when dial a number or sms.
4) Can dial from call history.
5) Phone icon goes to real phone pad.

The advantage of pocketcm:
1) More details when view contact
2) Threaded sms (not too useful if on wm6.1)
3) Can use phone pad to search contacts

pocket cm is better in the sense that it had more options for customization like adding photos....but it does not let you edit contacts as easily. icontacts loads faster but does not have features like threaded texts. Its up to you decide for yourself. It depends on what you are looking for. Enjoy

[xboxhaxorz]

icontact is much better for battery life and slower devices
pocketcm is fine for 400 mhz and above devices i think it looks better and more customizable at least to me

[robpet2]

try both... it doesnt hurt the device.. I have both installed on my device and currently Im using Pocketcm with the diamond skin and it works pretty fast on my wing. No complaints, plus I like the fact that pocketcm gives more options on the contact level ( ex sending email, text messages )... Only used icontact a few times, might test it again later on..
what rom are you using, cause that also plays a role in the performance of it.
