Photo Contacts Pro 5.04

[craiggiarc]

I've just found out that Photo Contacts Pro has just updated to 5.04 and there are some exciting new enhancements/features. Including distinctive email tones and the blocking of 777 from the recent call list, two features that I was definitely looking for.

However, despite Photo Contacts Pro showing that all .XX upgrades being free when I try to re-download the new version from Handango they are after an extra $3 for something called 'Product Protection'. Needless to say I haven't purchased the 'Product Protection' but have emailed them instead to clarify the discrepancy in the upgrade policy.

So I haven't been able to test the upgrade yet but as soon as I do I will let you know how I get on.

Enhancements

Agreed, also the distinctive email ringtones, really looking forward to seeing how that works, whether it's email address specific or email account specific! I'll post an update as soon as I can get it installed!

i agree (i know it wont use it for that only)
but i remember a few months back a memeber dumped his Q becuase he couldnt stop it...
maybe this means someone can come up with a cab file to just do that rather than this big program now that we know it can be done!

lol - yes $25 just for that functionality is a little expensive, as you know I think it's worth it for everything else it offers too though!

I know it sounds like I have shares in this product but I honestly don't!

really ?... well, crazy things happen :}

would be nice, but it might be the same as with the softkey bar.. doable in a big-ass app, but a lot harder in a little one :}

i don't see it like that... you're just passionate with the app, nothing wrong with that..

I've looked at Jeyo and really like the look of it but as I only use Outlook at work I can't justify the outlay of $25, it's just horses for courses I guess.
