A liitle poll about PocketZenPhone.
I like to thank those who donate but I'm far from a XDA2.
To help me to buy one I think to buy PZP for 5/7€ (in fact 7€ because sale site such as handango keeps 30% of the price)
What do you think ?
I have the version 3.6, and I tried to make a donation, but Paypal doesn't support Slovenian credit cards.
So I will pay for your software for sure.
Excellent work Zendrui.
Bye by Urosh
I also had problems donating on PayPal with my American Express card - so would happily pay €7/$8.48 for your software.
I hope you get your XDA II very soon!
i think that you should but with shareware everywhere the problem is that it's often pretty easy to pay if you live in the same country or such as the person you want to pay but if you live on the northpole it's more of an issue
(not that i live on the northpole )
in this case it seems the only way to go... how much did you get by donations? can't remember the amount you mentioned here, but it's truly not going to be a 14590 bucks... that's the count of people visiting your site. imagine only the half has downloaded and everyone would have donated 1 little buck to you, that would be more than just one xda2. i think that's the world we are living in nowadays. everyone wants to get everything for free... sad story. good luck with going commercial, but think about how to protect it, if you consider too, and i'm sure we are going to see this on some warez-site soon... again sad world
For now I get 90€ ... if I sell it for 5/7€ maybe it could help me to approach the XDA2.
I'm not thinking to get many € but ...
Really the XDA2 is my only motivation to sell
like wise i can't donate because my country is not included in pay pal, i would buy it for 8$ seems like a good price but only if it had weekdays also including on/off times :lol:

I would think USD 20/15 EUR would be much more fair given the value we get.

So, where I can buy pocketzenphone? :wink:
how about having 2 PZP versions?
1. PZP lite which would be for free and only includes the basuc profile changing functions
2. PZP pro which would include all the sophisticated functions of timers and radio on/off and so on??
that way you could stand by your initial principle of free PZP while you could make some money for the XDA 2
i think the fair thing to do is the following questoin
How far are you from an xdaII price? i think you have developed a perfect peice of programming very easy & fairly working fine with every body, seling it will creat more problems than solving it, like your commitment to fix bugs or update it for free for the 1st year, then you need to reply on the complains & 30% will be shared with Handango & might even to get to some legal issue you might not be aware of, so i think if we know how much you need still for an xdaII we will make sure we reach that price & therefore you get rewarded without commtment, unless you are thinking of making that a business thats a complete defferant story

Well said Rabia? I liked PzP because it was freeware and that Zenduri was always available to fix the bugs and provide upgrades.
Hows about setting up some sort of PO Box that others can send a cheque or money order if their are unable to donate from their countries via PayPal. Or if anyone has another idea along these lines. My God its 2004 their are other options besides PayPal! Just my two cents.

why protect it? sell it - and there will be more than enough people willing to pay. if i think of all the ppl having a pda and 99% of them have NO idea where to get warez.
i for myself would pay for it. i think 5.- is ok for a "little" tool for the pda.
regards ize|man
i bet there would be a lot of people willing to pay for pzp and i would bet up to €10 would be no problem to sell 4.x with all the funtions this build offers. i was more than happy to donate some € to zendrui in the beginning of pzp and would donate again some € if he would not go commercial. but if he is going to sell pzp count me in... but i would bet to see that on some place soon...
Hi,
I hope you got the EUR 10 from me !
I use the software regularly. It's great with my HBH 35 headset. I now do active sync only with bluetooth.
Regards, Dave
Rabias idea is the best, without doubt.
And yeah, only few people know how to get PPC warez.
But if you find it.. whoo... the possibilities - to test before buy!
:roll:
If someone find the manner to send the money from Slovenia I'll send it (7€) to Zendrui without Handango.
I think that you are right. Handango is for finding clients, but Zendrui just has clients (us). So it is stupid to give 30% to Handango only because we are not able to send the money to Zendrui.

Well, I thought its a joke: Download protectino at handango is $6.99 FOR EVERY SINLGE PIECE OF PURCHASED SOFTWARE? At the beginnig I thought its $6.99 for ALL purchased software.
Anyone wants to start a Handango.com boykott? I would gladly join since I bought 70 applications with Handango and would have to pay hundreds of dollars to be able to download them again.
Any other good vendors? Pocketgear?
Handango is rubbish. Use pocketgear. They let you download your purchased applications whever you want, again.
I stopped using Handango about 2 years ago...they're just awful.
Unfortunately, once in a great while you find SW that is only available from them (not even the developer!) in which case you take the risk.
9/10 though I go
1) developer's website (Paypal rocks)
2) pocketgear (or smartphone.net)
I can't believe anyone would use Handango these days. The site itself it just an awful mess and a b*tch to navigate.

By far I think pocket gear is the best. I too thought the so called 'protecton plan' was for all software I purchase.How could they think of this!

I recently received notification of an update for software I purchased through Handango. There were problems with getting my free upgrade. However I have to say they were very quick in responding to my contact and were very helpful and polite. They also followed up to make sure everything was ok and gave me a 10% discount on future purchase.
I did take the opportunity in feedback to comment on the download protection fee as an issue that seems unfair and that they may be losing business to the likes of pocketgear.
I think sometimes we complain to the wrong people and we may forget that actually a company may genuinely wish to serve their customers and may listen to well meant criticism. Certainly Handango unlike many organisations were very responsive to my on-line contact. Many companies don't even bother to reply to on-line requests for help or complaints.
That's not to say that out of the 200,000 members here that there will be no horror stories though.

You surely have a point there. In any case the protection plan is optional.
I am going back to a crappo phone and won't need IM+ anymore. I figured someone here might want it at a reduced price.
I have cleared this with mods and e-mailed the kind people at SHAPE Services, and got this response regarding transfer of license.
Hello, David!
Thank you for choosing our software!
We can not help you to re-sell your license code but we can offer you to change the license code for IM+ for your new
device. Just debote the model type and we will send you a new license.
Please infrom us about your decision.
We are waiting for your reply!
With best regards,
Valeriya Molotkova

I bought it from them for $39.95 so I figure I would offer it up at $25.
As a kind gesture, I'd be happy to e-mail them with your model type to get the new registration code, and give it to you before you send PayPal (I'm pretty skiddish about online payment for electronic services myself).
Just seeing if there is any interest...?
And mods, I did get the OK to put it here in General, but if it is better in Off-Topic, feel free to move the thread.
IM+ License Key
Hey,
Do you still have the license key available? I am very interested in Purchasing it from you. I am currently using an XDA Exec with WM6 and using the tmobile tzones 5.99 data plan to connect.
Thanks,
Mike
I have a weird problem... I ordered the e-cig (China) and after extensive talks with local Customs office, National Medications Department and TNT, I could not get my shipment from them. The problem is, in Estonia the E-pipe is regarded as "medical device" and the cartridges and liquid as "medicine". So without proper license I cannot import them. There is also a way around this - if the package contains ONLY the E-pipe without ANY cartridges and is sent by private person (not company) I can import them because it is not considered as "ordering from internet". TNT can change the address on the package if they want but not the originating country. That's the problem actually... I was wondering if someone could help me with that?
Currently the package is at TNT's warehouse and waiting my instructions, for which I have two options now - send back or have it destroyed. Of course, sending back costs additional money, around 30$. The package contains 45$ e-pipe, some pipe accessories and e-liquid, total worth around 65$.
I am looking for someone from China willing to help - provide his/her address, have the package sent to there, take the "medicine" parts out of the package and send it back via regular post (it's cheaper). If You can make use of the liquid and cartridges, You might give me a discount on the postal charges, if not, I am willing to pay the costs via Paypal. I calculated 30$ for TNT and 10$ for regular post back to here.
There are two reasons I want to do this. One is for principle - to **** the Customs (government) for ****ing me. The other is that I don't like the idea of destroying the device - on one hand, corrupted as they are, they are probably taking it to themselves anyway. On the other hand, if not, it's not very environmentally sound thing to do.
Anyway, hope there are someone decent folk from China here willing to help.

i am in shenzhen city guangdong province.

Oops... Sorry
I am very unhappy! Root-android.org just sold me a totally FREE software!!! I checked that UnlockRoot is FREE at unlockroot.com. Why do they sell us for nearly 30 USD??? Customer support? They just told me the email of unlockroot.com, not theirs! That means root-android.org download UnlockRoot from unlockroot.com, send us the free installation file, take money to their pocket, leave the email of unlockroot.com. If failed, they just let me to trouble unlockroot.com! But unlockroot.com said they haven't sold me! Funny is, root-android.org even sell UnlockRoot Pro. 29.99 USD for nothing! A FREE installation file without serial number! If I want to use it, I should make another order from official website. What's wrong with root-android.org? I thought these software are developed by root-android.org, but actually, it is not!!! Root-android.org just sell unlockroot.com's software to make money with no permission (I have asked them)! It is really an easy way to make money with no trouble: put free installation file on root-android.org server, sell them, say they will provide 24/7 service but actually they just provide the email of unlockroot.com and leave all things to them. How clever they are!!!
BTW, .org is the domain name for non-profit organizations. How could they use this domain name to sell other people's products! I feel cheated!!!
