Screen broken but need text messages!

[anubizco]

I currently have a T-mobile dash and unfortunately the screen got cracked earlier today. The problem I am faced with is I am receiving text messages which I need to order to coordinate my graduate research at college but I am, obviously, unable to read them from the phone. Is there any application that I can download that will allow me to at least view the messages on my computer? I have been looking around for one but it seems many require you to download an application on the phone and seeing as I can make heads or tails of anything on the screen that's rather impossible at the moment. Any help is appreciated!

True connect: (http://www.raspberrysoftware.com/trueconnect.htm)

True Connect is an exciting new way to control your Windows Mobile device when its plugged in! Simply drag your mouse off the side of your monitor, and it appears on your phone. Now you can click on the menus, controls and applications in an intuitive, natural way. It even works for non-touch screen devices! Of course, you can also use the PC keyboard to type, copy and paste information.

Can't see your device screen without holding it up? No problem - just use On-Screen Connect to show your device screen on your PC. It slides in when you need it, tucking neatly out of the way when you don't.

New to version 3.0 is SMS Text Messages in Microsoft Outlook. Read, send, forward and manage your text messages just like your email.

Download True Connect, and try it free for 14 days. You'll see for yourself how easy it can be to do your phone calls, text messages, applications and just about everything else on your mobile.

I personally used this to retrieve texts for a friend of mine who also broke his screen.. worked perfectly.

I couldn't figure out how to do anything other than navigate using true connect. Wait... realized you have to have outlook installed.

it seems like it's a pay version of My Mobile (http://www.mtux.com/)

The coolest version i think is mDesktop (http://www.motionapps.com/product/mdesktop/index.jsp) it even has an Excalibur on the site as the phone they use! You can view and copy the texts. it even has a "copy chat" with the options "plain text" and "formatted HTML"

the only other thing i think i would want to be able to do is use my computer headphones and mic to talk on the phone.

I'm not the OP but i had the same problem and a lot of ones i tried required being able to see the screen to install the cab/execute the program. this worked perfect for me since my screen was completely broken. Thanks for the link!
