Phone Extras (new in 2.1)

Ever wished to expand on the functionality of the existing Phone application? We're starting to enhance it even further — Smart Dialer allows you to quickly locate and dial your contacts; Phone Extras allows you to add up to 3 custom buttons in place of the Voice Mail button. Each button will allow you to dial a number of perform a USSD request (such as Balance); and the Voice Mail button itself will not be lost as well.

SMS Extras (new in 2.1)

Delete individual SMS message by sliding a finger across the one you'd like to get rid of. As simple and intuitive as it should have been. Also keep track of how many SMS messages will be sent when you type a long message — a handy symbol and message counter will show you exactly how many symbols you have left in the current message and how many SMSes will be actually sent out.

FaceLift

Again, this is all about customization. FaceLift will allow you to apply any theme made for the SummerBoard, and adds its own enhancements allowing the designers to customize how the icon labels and calendar icon will look. And it will also bring 5-icon Dock with reflections, as well as icon name faceplates, and more… You can also customize a "slider to unlock" message on the lock screen. Voilá!

Reminder

Missing important calls or SMSes is bad. Especially when you have missed them while being away from the phone for a while and discovering that at the end of the day when you actually look at the screen. Reminder will make a sound or vibrate every few minutes if you have missed messages or calls.

System Font

iPhone is about style. And style is about matching your own taste. For that, we have released a freeware DejaVu font that replaces the system font. With System Font, you'll be able to pick exactly which font you'd like to use as your system font (and it also conveniently includes the free DejaVu font for you to use).

Privacy

Grinding your teeth every time you're in a middle of showing your latest photo album to friends and an SMS arrives, blocking half of the screen? Or ever had your closest one raise an eyebrow when an unexpected SMS arrives?

Well, Privacy is for you! With just one click of a button… er, finger, you'll be able to turn these alerts off, or hide the message text on that pop-up window, or even stop any notifications whatsoever on new SMS arrival. We respect your privacy.
