PhoneManager - 1.2

I have been using this application with my 2 old 6310i and this the best ever and most reliable application. Not to mention the excellent support from the Author, which over the years has always addressed and fixed issues I have reported in a matter of days sometimes even hours !...
GREAT SOFTWARE, GREAt SUPPORT.

I am also using Phone Director from the same Author for my sister's phone and got the Author this week to add support for the Excellent Nokia 3120 Classic (business phone S40 series)
It is now fully compliant and I recommend this phone and PhoneDirector for it

PhoneManager is a strange one. On paper the features offered are useful for those without a PC and so unable to use Nokia's PCsuite. You can add/edit/delete phonebook contacts, send SMS messages, and create new logos and ringtones, which are really the main reasons one would use it.

However, when you actually use the program you may find it comes up short as far as user interaction is concerned. The phonebook is hard work, particularly when editing multiple entries (mainly due to there being a separate edit pane for the entries), the logo editor is far too simple, offering only single pixel draw/delete tools and no options to cut, paste, move or invert, and the ringtone editor is just plain daft, forcing a 'composer' to sequence using cryptic groups of letters and numbers. To add to that when the tone is played back within PhoneManager it doesn't play back the pitches correctly over multiple octaves, and won't play back steadily when the tempo is changed (but, bizarrely, it'll play back fine once on the phone).

And on top of all this is the price tag of $29.95 (or just over £20) is too high for such an underdeveloped product. Granted it wasn't too difficult to set up and seems solid and unbuggy, but the user interfaces need a lot of work and one is forced to pay considering the limited functionality of the demo (no sending logos or ringtones until registered).

Overall, the foundation is there for a truly great product, but its user interface needs a major overhaul.

Used this for years on my 6310i - won't be changing until Nokia make another decemt business phone - PM is a very professional bit of software and worth every penny of you have one of these phones

I tried this for the Nokia 6230, just in case it worked. It doesn't which is a shame. But it looks like a top product. I wait with bated breath.

RTFM- Read the (f) manual. People this is (about) the only decent 6310i app for Mac. I followed the instructions, it works flawlessly everytime.
Nokia do not support mac - so forget it. Since the 6310i was meant to have SyncML (as advertised), but doesn't - so no one else is going to go to the trouble of writing a contact transfer utility for mac. Do not whine, face it and deal with it.
If you want "free" transfer, cough up for a 3650, 7650 or 6600 and use iSync. But hey, you will have to pay for a new phone. Your choice.
I used this to tranfer my contact over from my 6310i to address book and then to a new 3650 - perfect. With this you can also archive your SMS.
Now I can keep my 6310i, 3650 & mac synced.
The app would be better if the GUI followed Apples guidleines or was even aquafied - hopefully this will come.
