So the 2007 version that was offered as freebies last week was a teaser to get others to upgrade to the v8 at a cost. Clever.

I've just paid the upgrade (with Handango discount) which came to about $16. Unfortunately the installer falls over every time and I can't find a CAB file to get it onto my device. Is anybody else having the same problem or is it just me?

The Handango version is broken.

Alex has just put up a fixed version which seems to work fine.

Put the trial in, for PPC2003 it's much WORSE for ease of use than v2007. Some parts are better sure, but eg I can't even make an appt w/o an alarm now. And selecting appt date/time is much clunkier. Those combo boxes just waste my time when the old one gave me the picker in 1 click vs 2.5 now.

I don't have any problem making an appt without an alarm in PI8.

How annoying ... I purchased this application on 29th December 2007 without noticing the freebie offer on this site. Since it is a major update, I still have to pay for the upgrade. Terrible timing eh!

Actually you get the upgrade for free if you purchased recently (within the last 3 months, I think).

Well I looked on handango site and it said I have to pay for upgrade. I plugged in my email and order number.

So I emailed saying ... "I could just return the software, as Im within 30 days of purchase, and then get new version"

Thus they are contacting pocket informant to find out if I get a better deal ;-)

Presumably you put your email address in the box provided like what I did.
My copy came from the Handango promotion. The app is registered to email address rather than phone user name I think
