PEN CUCKOO  i'm afraid i have to agree with some of the previous posters.

when BPE works well, it is a joy to use and a great looking application. unfortunately it is incredibly unstable and seems to either hang or crash at the slightest provocation - often requiring a restart of the computer, as it tends to take the dock and bluetooth down with it.

if only this application performed as well as it looks, it would be a real winner!  
(Version 2.1.3)

PIRX  I just switched from a Sony W890 to a Nokia E71. BPE effortlessly accompanied the switch, lists reliably the available services and uses them without fail.

Another DWIS-SWID software: Does what it says, says what it does. Very happy.

MONDELE  I really want to like BPE. I do like it when it works. I love the way it pauses iTunes when a call comes in, and the way it pulls the Address Book data for the incoming number.

However, it is so unstable that I didn't even play out the 14 day trial. Having to force-quit an app several times/day is unacceptable on a work machine, and it makes the program useless for me. I even found that I would try to use it and find that I hadn't restarted it since it crashed previously.

My experience seems to indicate that it crashes on making or receiving a second call, although it sometimes bailed on the first one.

I seem to recall this same problem the last time I tried this program, a year or so ago, so that also discourages me from paying for it.

BEBDABHRHBRWEFG 3R§5Y5H4WTEDSFB  there's a lot to like about BPE - or at least there was in version 1. back then it was one of those apps which was always running on my comp and i used it to archive all my important SMS and log my calls for a year or so.

with version 2 however, i find i rarely open BPE. part of this may be to do with the fact i have a new phone with a lot greater storage capacity, so i don't actually *need* to back up as much as i used to. but a lot has to do with how clunky and irresponsive BPE2 is, compared to version one.

BPE2 seems to constantly generate errors while transferring SMS across. every time i open it, it marks as unread dozens of messages i've already read [with no way to 'mark unread' multiple messages at a time]. i see the spinning beachball constantly and have to force quit it at least once or twice during every session. dragging messages into folders, the interface is jerky and unresponsive and seems to lag a second or two behind, so i'm forever dropping things in the wrong folder, because the one i was hovering over when i released the mouse, is no longer there by the time BPE wakes up long enough to react to what i'm doing.

altogether a disappointing upgrade. i wish i'd stuck with version 1!  
(Version 2.0.8)

JOSH LINDQUIST  I really miss having this application since I've moved to an iPhone. If this were brought to the iPhone after the developer kit is made available, I would buy it immediately.  
(Version 2.0.5)

JAHVE  I've and BPE user since the first version but is so far very satisfied with the upgrade (free for registered users). BPE2 adds plenty of interface polish and a many new features as syncing with the phone's records of calls, Bluetooth talk-through and profile setting.

I don't think there is anything of value application cannot to compared to its Windows equivalents. This is the application SonyEricsson should have bundled with my phone.  
(Version 2.0.3)

DIARBYRAG  V2 Will not launch - have unistalled it - tried again - same - made my whole computer stall - deleted all traces of it - gone back to V1

any clues ???????

SUPERTHEMAN  There is no way to try out this program, because you have to purchase it to even TRY it. Then, on top of that, on the developer's site he tells you have to buy a code to use the beta, but he tells you not to buy a code just to try the beta. Sound confusing? It is.

A shareware program should have SOME functionality to try it out, especially when you have no idea if it will even WORK with your phone, and even more so when the program is a BETA!

It feels very greedy that a developer would allow NO try-out on a BETA program.  
(Version 2.0b2.1267)

ENTE ENTE  On version 2_1103, when i add an trigger to an incoming call event, then i always get an NSInternalInconsistencyException (Call canb not be nil). With the first beta i had no problems, everything worked fine with my t750i.  
(Version 2.0b2)

SAJDAK70  If you have problem with accessing phone book or Address Book through BPE beta 2 build 1050, you can copy Address Book plug-in from older builds of BluePhoneElite. Click on application icon with CTRL or with the right mouse button, Show Package Contents, then you can AppleAddressBook.bpplugin copy into PlugIns folder. That's it!
