HP proofs once more that their product line is aimed at business use. As with their previous products, they have announced the free download of a communication suite you can use with your mobile phone: pocket Phonetools by BVRP. The product enables you to send and receive SMS messages and faxes through your mobile phone, and to sync your GSM phonebook. The name "pocket Phonetools" was new to me and didn't occur on the BVRP website in the producs lineup. After I installed it on my Jornada 565 it did show a striking resemblance to Winphone Pocket without the WAP browser.
The software is not just compatible with the most recent Jornada's, but also with the older product range, including the Palmsize and Handheld PCs. The future 928 WDA is not yet supported, but according to the press release, a version for that product will arrive later this year.
UPDATE: So far no luck in getting my supposedly supported T39m recognized by this product, where other phone managers have no trouble doing just that. When I had these problems before with Winphone Pocket and my previous T18s / DI27 I have asked BVRP for technical support. It's now almost 2 years later, and they still have to answer all questions I once sent them. Let's go try again! I'll keep you posted.
