Hi Folks, Sorry to be so late with a reply to this. We don't monitor this group, and one of our Comet users pointed us over here to maybe answer some questions and clear up any confusion. Comet currently does not require DayNotez in order to make call notes. In earlier releases of Comet we only really had the desktop sync part. We had to include a "Stub" application on the phone itself in order for our conduit to be invoked (we didn't want to hi-jack the phone application for this just in case Palm ever needed to use it). Since we had to provide a small stub anyway, we added a simple ability to it. If you clicked on the stub in Launcher, and you had DayNotez installed, it would start a new DayNotez journal entry for the last call posted in the call history file. With Comet 2, that's all changed. We have a very functional Comet Palm application now instead of the stub. It has the ability for you to create notes on calls directly within it. OR, if you are a DayNotez user and like to keep all of your journal type entries within it, Comet has the option to post to DayNotez instead. Comet lets you make notes not only for the last call, but any call posted in the call history file. If you are in the middle of a call and bring up Comet (yes, this is probably best done with a headset unless you have eyes in your ears ;-) ) then you can even create a note for the call you are currently on. If you choose to use DayNotez as your place to keep notes, then DayNotez even has the special ability to automatically create a "Comet" note based on a user defined "Comet" template. Comet currently does not have the ability to post call history and notes to the calendar, but it is something we are seriously considering. Comet is first and foremost a Call History logger (with call statistics on the handheld). It does not have additional features such as ringtone management, etc. One of the main advantages of using Comet with Comet desktop is the ability to archive old call history off of your phone so that it doesn't get so "big". You can set the automatic archive horizon based on number of entries, age, or all each time you sync (or none for that matter). You can easily add calls from the history to your contacts, and have Comet update all those past calls with the proper caller name. Comet also has the ability to "schedule" calls by providing a "tickle" alarm informing you of a call you need to make at a future time and staging it up for easy dialing for you. You can even delete entries from your call history file easily. I guess I could go on and on, but I shouldn't. If you are intested, try out the free trial. Like I mentioned, we normally don't monitor the yahoo groups. We do have a user forum on our site where you can get question and problems answers. You need to register on the forums (no anonymous posting but you can lurk w/o signing up) but we don't care if you are a customer or just have questions while you try out the software. Feel free to drop by. Or send us questions at support[at]natara.com. Hope that helps clear up some questions. Sorry, I don't know much about lightwav or any of the other apps you may have mentioned so I have no comparisons. Regards, Bryan Nystrom -- Natara Software, Inc.
