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.  (Version 2.0.12)

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)
