Paragon Software Group has released Handy Assistant, a mobile app that enables management and customization of phone profiles, call processing and filtering, among other features, on Windows Mobile devices.
Handy Assistant includes six default profiles to manage the users ring type, sound volume and call processing. Profiles can be activated automatically or manually, and automatic profiles can be activated according to a preset schedule (specific days and time) or by location (e.g. office, gym, home). All profiles can be easily changed directly on the Today screen of the Windows mobile device.
The software also processes all incoming calls and filters them according to the rules: Accept, Reject, Reject + SMS or Ignore. The user can set different rules for various categories of contacts. Handy Assistant enables the user to reject the incoming call if they are unable to answer it, while quickly sending an SMS message in return. The user can also create different SMS texts for various categories of contacts.here.
There are three default Contact categories: Assistant: VIP; Business; and Personal. Users can create their own categories, edit category groups, and activate the default or custom profile for each contact category. The programs contact categories integrate easily with the Windows Mobile native phone contact categories set by the user. The software also enables the addition of contacts to a Black List in order to avoid undesired calls. It also offers the user multiple options for after-call follow-ups, such as writing a note; open/add to Contacts; blacklist/whitelist the contact; change the current profile; send e-mail/SMS; and save information about an appointment.
Handy Assistant is compatible with all Windows Mobile Pocket PC 5, 6 and 6.1 (Professional and Classic) devices with touch screens. The program is available for $29.95 (20.25). Theres more information here. For corporate sales and licensing information, send an email to: [email protected]
