** [Aug 14, 2008] by Nuncio using AT&T Tilt
My AT&T Tilt has lots of memory and a very fast processor, and yet iFonz runs *very* slow. The initial startup of the program takes over a minute. When I tap on an icon, it takes about 5 seconds for anything to happen. I also found that it's not possible to change most of the icons' applications.

I have the previous IFONZ software on my phone and love it but I want to upgrade so I downloaded the new 3.5 microsoft compact but when I tried to run the program it wouldnt work and when I tried to run the new IFONZ it said i needed a newer version than what I had on my phone but I had the newer version so I don't know what to do.
***** [Jul 8, 2008] by J using Treo 700w
After installing Microsoft Net Compact Framework this program works like a charm. I love the layout. Thanks for the software.
**** [Jun 26, 2008] by dcar96 using Mogul PPC6800
Looks great and I want to install... but when I try to first install the latest compact net framework (as previously suggested) it fails because I need to remove/uninstall the previous version first. Okay but where is that program found? I don't know how to do what its telling me to do. Help?
**** [Jun 5, 2008] by Greg using Verizon Palm 700wx
Seems to work on my phone, after installation of microsft.net upgrade. With a couple issues: 1) Phone icon doesnt bring you to anything to enable you to use the phone. Basically, there's no way to dial anyone unless you set the contact as an icon. 2) Ifonz does not stay open even though I clicked "Run with Windos" option. Keeps closing and I have to relaunch program every time phone goes to sleep. Any advice?
***** [Apr 26, 2008] by bassem using o2 xda
I install this program to my O2 xda. Error: This application (ifonz.exe) requires newer version of microsoft.net compact framework than the version installed on this device.

In the previous version (9.8) I could resize the icons to 32 pixels, but in this version not.

Do you find the instructions how to install this ?
***** [Mar 31, 2008] by junior using LG KS20
Great work! Very temped to install, but worried it cannot be undone with clean uninstall later? Any advise? Thanks.

It freezed my other programs. I uninstalled this version (v.0.9.4) and install previous version.

ver.0.9.4 Too resource eating- Hung up my HTC Touch. For a resident software, it is unfavorable (should we leave more memory for active programs?)
***** [Mar 14, 2008] by f3pal using Asus P535
This is a great software and wors well. I'm loving it..... Thank you for great effort.
*** [Mar 14, 2008] by Bang Toyib Mengapa Tak Pulang-Pulang using htc 8525
This new version is too sentitive...everytime my finger or stylus touch the screen (with normal touch), it goes to setting page. I have to touch the screen very quickly to avoid it..
***** [Mar 4, 2008] by texasdave using ipaq 6945
Works great! I'm shocked that something this cool actually works for the ipaq series! And works very well. I would change a couple of small things, but out of the box it's quite amazing! It spoils the fun when the iphone dorks see it and I show them real time GPS and MS Excel spreadsheets plus tons of other 3rd party apps -- iphone blows...
***** [Mar 4, 2008] by Bossman using HTC TYTN
Ammiyo, dts Da most Kewlest Freeware i ever got!!, damn Ma HTC Jst Love It!! Thanx M8.. Keep It Up!! 2 Thumbs Up!
* [Mar 4, 2008] by ACCHO using HTC Touch (Chinese)
The previous version (v0.7.6) was just slow but promising- it runs after all. V.0.8.8 simply hung on HTC Touch when run after card/RAM installed. A 'low-end' version might need to be provided.
***** [Mar 3, 2008] by Zegend using 8525
The update is excellent. Much faster. Really like the new Vista Icons. The best overlay currently available.
***** [Mar 3, 2008] by John using HTC 3600
I installed this software 2 weeks ago, and I was impressed, but it did slow up to a point it was unusable in my opinion. However this version has improved it no end. Couple of wish list items a percentage on the battery bar and an icon that links to a weather site to give a local temperature display on the icon.

Works great on my Tmobile Wing! Had no problem installing.

Can't go run with my pda.
*** [Feb 28, 2008] by josh using Samsung *8525 wm5
You guys can just google the compact net framework and install it using activesync and you should be good to go. It will auto install the next time you connect via activesync.
***** [Feb 27, 2008] by pedz using htc wing
I think its a great application, just wish I could set it as my today screen instead of manually running it.

**** [Feb 20, 2008] by raj using htc touch
Did anyone tried to uninstall this ? Is it uninstalls properly ?
**** [Feb 19, 2008] by accho using HTC Touch Upgraded
Best free iPhone style Launcher after the Re's Launcher... Yet a bit laggy on HTC Touch (installed on RAM or Card), may be need not to be so fancy on the set up pages (they are so nice looking) . Suggestion (1): to assign a program to icon will use back the iphone design icon & description. To change the icon & description need to find an icon image & type in: Why not auto retrieve program name & icon like all the other launchers does? Suggestion (2): the select page white dots (if 2 pages is set) seemed lacking response; & the 2nd page used exactly the same iphone style icons & description: Why not a blank page with dummy icons (for page 2 & beyond) for easy assess?

On my MIO a701 doesn't work. Anybody?
**** [Feb 18, 2008] by Aries using wm5
The software is pretty nice. I recommended placing on hard drive, but mess around to see what suits your needs. Thanks for the app! This is why I am a PPC lover.
***** [Feb 18, 2008] by J using 8525
The Best Freeware.
***** [Feb 18, 2008] by Tom using Asus P750 (with WM6)
Whether I install the software to my Micro SD card or direct to my hand set, while clicking on the icon in the program page, some chinese characters appear that seems to be error with the installation. Software conflict? Anyone with similar issue using Asus P750?
**** [Feb 18, 2008] by yatnoz using o2XdaZinc
