Auren SMS Messaging

When sending text message using Windows Mobile 2003 Message Wizard, I found a bug that’s really annoying. After pressing the SEND button, I have to wait until the notification occurs. If I didn’t do that ritual, like pressing X button on the right side of the message wizard, the system will send the message twice or even more. It’s crazy! When I’m not in a hurry,I can wait for a while, but if I forgot to wait, this app can suck out my credit! After more than a year using this device, I’m became familiar with this behavior.


We have another problem while using this wizard. Writing with stylus while you are in a car, train, bus, or even airplane is not that kind of easy. Especially in Indonesia, a road is not a road if it’s not bumpy!

So, I try to manage those two problems by writing an application. I call this the “AUREN SMS Message”. It’s meant for efficiently sending message that won’t eat out your credit or spamming your recipient. I’m still doing some tests to this application and hopefully it can be released soon. I also combine old fashioned push button style for writing messages because this is the best way to write messages while you’re in a bumpy road, I mean road. so, prepare your thumbs!
